During the mock torture scene Jeff Blue (Dennis Quaid) says that his wife, Jane, is 'Doctor Natasha LotteLenya from the Rosa Klebb institute". Lotte Lenya portrayed Rosa Klebb in the 1963 James Bond film "From Russia With Love". In the book of the same name she is described as being an expert at inducing extreme pain and enjoying the act of torturing.
The original title of this film was "Cloak and Diaper".
At Dynagon Industries, Jeff introduces himself as 'Hildy Johnson.' This was a character portrayed by Rosalind Russell in 'His Girl Friday.'
