Tagline: In Beverly Hills, you can have anything your heart desires. You just can't have it the way it used to be.
Trivia: This is the first film that Robert Downey Jr. is billed as “Robert Downey Jr.”. All films previous he was billed as simply “Robert Downey”.
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: As Clay and Blair are walking through the tunnel arguing, just before they stop walking, Clay’s eyes clearly shift ahead of them several times to check his mark (the point where he stops and stands in place).
“Clay, an eighteen-year-old freshman, comes back from his first term at a college in New Hampshire to spend his Christmas vacation with his broken-up wealthy family in Los Angeles. His former girlfriend, Blair, is now involved with his ex-best-friend, Julian. She warns Clay that Julian needs help: he is using a lot of cocaine and has huge debts. What follows is a look at the youth culture of wealthy post adolescents in Beverly Hills with a strong anti-drug message. Apart from the setting and the names, the film has very little to do with Bret Easton Ellis’s book by the same title on which it was based. Written by Jeroen van Bree <J.vBree@kub.nl>”
