Elisabeth Shue's brother, Andrew Shue, has a brief cameo in the wedding scene.  Elisabeth Shue went Back to the Future twice, then she disappeared for a while, before making a good comeback in "Radio Inside" all the way to an Oscar nomination for "Leaving Las Vegas" Kelly Lynch made an impression in "Drugstore Cowboy" ...and then co-starred in "Roadhouse". Gina Gershon never played nice again; and went onto kick-ass roles in "Best Of The Best 3", "Out For Justice", "Bound" and "Face/Off" (she was also indicted for smuggling Cuban cigars and for starring in Paul Veerhoven's "Showgirls") Gina can also be seen in "Driven" with Sylvester Stallone and Burt Reynolds. -Thanks to Jennifer"Mission Improbable"; is a hilarious Ben Stiller parody, where he plays Tom Cruise stand-in; Tom Crooze (great gags about all Cruise movies). Be sure to look out for it! The length of Tom's hair throughout the movie is one way to show passage of time. If you look not only at his hair, but at the time of year AND location, you will see that his life is "moving forward", and his hair length helps represent that. This is a trick often used in movie-making. -Thanks to John W. Evans IIIHere on the Gold Coast, Australia, there is a bar called " Cocktails and Dreams"; the Bar in the movie is called the same. -Thanks to ClintonIn the bar scene in Jamaica, you can see James Eckhouse in the background across the bar. He starred as Jim Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210. -Thanks to JennyDid you ever notice that the crowded happening saloon they 1st performed in is actually a TGI Friday's? Look at the red/white candy cane striped awning outside... [see location section for more info] It's still part of "today's" TGI Friday's. -Thanks to Adam And K.D.In the movie F/X2 Rollie, the character played by Bryan Brown is in a bar with Leo, (Brian Denehy), and Leo is tossing the glasses in the air (at least trying to) just as Bryan Brown had done in Cocktail. It's an obvious throwback to Cocktail! -Thanks to Dave Brown« Click here to add some Cocktail trivia Rediscover your favorites!

An eclectic mix of new n' old make this a classic soundtrack, opening with Starship's "Wild Again" (not a patch on "Waiting For A Star To Fall") it picks up about half way with the GA Satellites bar anthem "Hippy Hippy Shake" and Bobby McFerrin's smooth classic "Don't Worry, Be Happy". The Beach Boys steal the album with "Kokomo", whilst John Cougar Mellancamp revives the 80's almost as well as Kenny Loggins. Later on, Ry Cooder does a passable cover of "All Shook Up" (although Ricky Van Shelton would've done it better). This sets us up for the closing track, and old time rock n' roll hit: "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard. Like the movie, this is a light, but pretty good album -and hey: it'll sound even better if you're sober...
