Line 53:
* [[Taking the Heat]]: Johnny has little choice but to take the rap for Penny's pregnancy.
* [[Wet Sari Scene]]: The lift.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Sarah Jessica Parker and Billy Zane originally auditioned for the roles of Baby and Johnny, but they couldn't dance very well, and Emile Ardolino only wanted experienced dancers in the film, to avoid the problems of using dance doubles, which occurred in ''[[Flashdance]]''. In addition, writer and co-producer Eleanor Bergstein originally wanted her close friend, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and Grey's father, Joel Grey, to play elderly resort guests and kleptomaniacs Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher, the actual culprits who stole Moe Pressman's wallet, but Westheimer dropped out when she discovered that the character was a thief and Joel Grey did not appear. Instead, the roles were played by Paula Trueman and Alvin Meyerovitch.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Both Swayze and Grey previously worked together in ''[[Red Dawn]]'', while Kenny Ortega previously choreographed ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', which Grey also co-starred in.
