- A case is made that Robin Williams is at Apex Mountain: coming off a six-year run with five top-10 movies, maybe never a bigger star than in 1993, with a huge comedy that is not recognizable IP.
- His Good Will Hunting Oscar is probably the last conceivable Apex Mountain, though this may be where he had tremendous success and still had options.
- Only Jurassic Park made more domestically in 1993, ahead of The Fugitive, The Firm, Sleepless in Seattle, The Pelican Brief, Schindler's List, Cliffhanger and Groundhog Day; 1993 is called a great movie year.
- Pro Last Action Here: it came 20 years too early but is great to watch. — Shea Serrano
- Sally Field: no. Pierce Brosnan: no. Addendum: Brosnan's chest hair, yes; Brosnan in a bathing suit, yes.
- Tries to recall Brosnan in a bathing suit in the Bond movies and The Thomas Crown Affair, and plans to keep replaying those scenes. — Amanda Dobbins
- Chris Columbus: yes, after Home Alone, Home Alone 2 and this film's $441 million; he could make whatever he wanted, then tailed off.
- Old-school San Francisco houses: yes, on a run with Pacific Heights, Full House and this movie.
- Divorce comedies: yes, the main reference point in the 90s.
