- Julia Roberts: Pretty Woman was previously called her Apex, but this $175 million hit could be argued; her career gets spotty afterward with I Love Trouble and The Pelican Brief until My Best Friend's Wedding and Erin Brockovich.
- For hot Julia Roberts, this film is called her apex and is countered with My Best Friend's Wedding, when she was closer to 30; some prefer Mystic Pizza or Steel Magnolias. No agreed answer.
- My Best Friend's Wedding is also an obsession movie; which character is crazier, her role there or this husband, is called close.
- Fake Cape Cod houses: absolutely.
- Patrick Bergin, who had this and a second Robin Hood movie the same year: yes.
- Kevin Anderson: yes.
- From Hell movies: this film's success arguably led to the next 30 years, but Fatal Attraction is probably the Apex Mountain for From Hell movies because it was the best.
- Cedar Falls, Iowa: no better apex can be named; she did not move far enough and should have rented a house with a fence, but the town seems pleasant and very Americana.
- The Jagr haircut is clearly Apex Mountain.
