3.In order for Lindsay Lohan to play both Hallie and Annie, each scene was filmed twice — Lindsay would film one part with a stand-in, then they would re-stage the scene and she would play the other twin.
4.After filming the first take, Lindsay was given an ear piece so she could hear the dialogue she previously recorded as the other twin.
5.Hallie and Annie are named after director Nancy Meyers' and producer Charles Shyer's children.

9.The memorable scene when the lizard is on Meredith's head consisted of a real lizard, a toy lizard, and a CGI lizard.

16.Real chocolate was actually dumped on Polly Holliday and Maggie Wheeler during the scene where Marva Sr. and Marva Jr. investigate Annie's cabin.
17.Also, while driving between the set and showers, the chocolate actually hardened on Polly and Maggie, which made it harder to get off.
18.During the scene where the water balloon pops on Annie's head, a small needle was hidden in her hair to increase the chances of the balloon popping.
19.When Hallie meets Meredith outside the elevator, she sings part of "Let's Get Together," which is from the original Parent Trap.
20.The emotional scene when Chessy realizes that it's actually Annie and not Hallie took 73 takes to get just right and was filmed over several days.
