A decade later, Demi Moore was sued for sexual harassment by the caretaker of her Idaho ranch, Lawrence Bass, who claimed that she hit on him in the same manner she used to approach Douglas' character in this film, then fired him after he rejected her advances. The case was dismissed.
Michael Crichton sold the movie rights for $1 million before the novel was published. Another source reports "Michael Crichton reportedly received $3,500,000 for the rights to his novel."
In the United Kingdom, the film's poster was removed from Liverpool bus shelters because it was considered too sexually suggestive, especially in light of the fact that Liverpool County Council had just run an ad campaign promoting the safety of their buses to women traveling alone at night.
Caroline Goodall's role as Michael Douglas' wife was beefed up when the actress came on board. In the original novel, the character disappears for most of the latter part of the story.
As filming neared completion, Caroline Goodall slipped on a water spillage in her home and broke her shoulder. She was able to film her remaining scenes by taking some painkillers and removing her sling.
"Catherine Alvarez: No means no. Isn't that what we tell women? Do men deserve less? Meredith Johnson: Well, when he really wanted to stop, he didn't seem to have any problems doing it, did he? Catherine Alvarez: And that's when you got angry. Meredith Johnson: Of course I got angry. So would anyone. Catherine Alvarez: Don't we tell women that they can stop at any point? Meredith Johnson: Haven't you ever said no and meant yes, Mrs. Alvarez? Catherine Alvarez: Up until the moment of actual penetration... Meredith Johnson: [interrupting] The point is he was willing. That tape doesn't change anything. Catherine Alvarez: The point is you controlled the meeting. You set the time. You ordered the wine. You locked the door. You demanded service and then got angry when he didn't provide it. So you decided to get even, to get rid of him with this trumped up charge. Ms. Johnson, the only thing you have proven is that a woman in power can be every bit as abusive as a man! Meredith Johnson: You wanna put me on trial here? Let's at least be honest about what it's for! I am a sexually aggressive woman. I like it. Tom knew it, and you can't handle it. It is the same damn thing since the beginning of time. Veil it, hide it, lock it up and throw away the key. We expect a woman to do a man's job, make a man's money, and then walk around with a parasol and lie down for a man to fuck her like it was still a hundred years ago? Well, no thank you!"
"Catherine Alvarez: [to Tom] Sexual harassment is not about sex. It is about power. She has it; you don't."
