The movie was originally intended to be released on HBO Max before Warner Bros decided to give it a 17 day exclusive theatrical release in 1400 theaters.
Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin, the stars of the original 1990 movie, both make cameo appearances in this film.
The song 'Who R U ' by relatively unknown Jamaican-British hip hop artist Travis Blaque had to be substituted out of the final cut of the film when it was discovered that permission had not been granted as the record label was unable to contact the artist. He had apparently dropped out of the music scene about 15 years previously and his whereabouts were unknown (a fact not helped by the fact that Travis Blacque turned out to be a pseudonym).
