Seen about two-thirds of the way through the credits: "Don't Go, It's Almost Over."  In the hotel scenes, Lily Tomlin is featured wearing a concert T-Shirt from rock star Tina Turner's 1985 "Break Every Rule" tour. -Thanks to Amy GreenThe boy in the toy store who plays Bette Midler's son is a very young Seth Green from "Can't Buy Me Love", "Austin Powers" & "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" fame. -Thanks to Mark CampbellIn the scene where Bette Midler makes her first appearance in NYC, notice how the statue in the elevator lobby is positioned to look like it's shielding itself from her. -Thanks to TonyThroughout the scenes inside the Plaza Hotel there is a lady with a dog whose wardrobe changes with each dog color. She is initially seen wearing a white dress with a white dog in the scene where Sadie and Rose Ratliff first enter the Plaza. Then she is seen wearing a brown dress with a brown dog and finally a black dress with a black dog. -Thanks to Gabe KingNotice how Sadie's jacket in New York is cut - now look at Sadie's jacket from Jupiter Hollow - the red plaid one. It's the same cut. Also, in Jupiter Hollow, how could Sadie's hair be pulled back and curled into all those ringlets when wearing it down it's a short bob? It's a beautiful Disney Films custom wig for Ms. Midler. -Thanks to TonyNotice subtle costume similarities in the characters. When New York Sadie goes to dinner with Fabio she is wearing a black bodiced bell-dress with red wrap and skirting. Then, when Jupiter Hollow Sadie walks up to the concierge desk, she has a red wrap around HER black bodiced dress. From the chest up they look the same to the concierge! -Thanks to TonyDid you see the Triplets trying to check into the hotel?? « Click here to add some Big Business trivia Rediscover your favorites!

The scenes where both women are being driven to the hospital to have the babies were filmed in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee (made famous by Daniel Boone). It's a small town with a population of 210 and is located where the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia all meet. The building on the corner used to be a bank, a general store and a hardware store and is now a restaurant called the "Ye Olde Tea and Coffee Shoppe" or "The Tea Room" as us locals like to call it. Also, the first shot of the movie was filmed in Cumberland Gap from a place called the Pinnacle which is a look-out on top of the Appalachian Mountains. [Thanks to Bethany] The hotel the sisters were staying in was the famous "Plaza Hotel" located on 58th Street and 5th Ave in New York -right next to Central Park. The interior Plaza Hotel scenes were filmed on soundstages in MGM Studios, Florida. The toy store where Bette Midler runs into her sister's son and husband is none other than FAO Schwarz, which is located directly across the street from the "Plaza" and was also used in the film "Big". [Thanks to Mark Campbell] The Plaza Hotel sets used in this movie later were used in the early 90s' Touchstone Television/NBC series "The Nutt House". Disney spent so much money on the sets that they felt they had to be used for future filming, and Mel Brooks (of "Spaceballs" and "Blazing Saddles" fame) had a deal at Disney at the time. The two met halfway, but the cost of set maintenance must've meant no money was left for good scripts. "Nutt House" was canceled after 6 episodes, and the sets went into storage at Disney-MGM Studios. [Thanks to John Edward Kilduff] "Big Business" was also filmed on location in a wide variety of places including Kentucky, New York City, Ohio and Tennessee. Can anyone help? Can you help? Do you know any of the (or any other) filming locations used for Big Business? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||
