While shooting the movie, poor Paul Rudd had to suffer through being mugged, at gunpoint no less.

After going out for dinner with a friend one night, he was held up while getting into his car, with the assailant even firing a bullet close to Rudd's head. He said of the innocent:

"I just remember the sound of it...I remember people in the parking lot being really freaked out. But I just got very calm. Then I had to go to work the next day. It was a scene at a club. I was dancing. And I had just been shot at the night before."

To make matters even worse, the backpack he handed over to the thief reportedly contained his script for the movie.
