* WagTheDirector: Originally Dustin "Dusty" Wong was going to speak with a stereotypical Asian accent, but when Creator/JohnCho was asked to use the accent, he refused because he didn't want young people thinking that it was OK to laugh at other people's accents.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Today, or even just a few years after the film's release, most of Jason's problems could be solved by writing his essay with a program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, not only allowing him to easily print out a saved copy of his essay after he lost it but also giving him proof that Wolf was plagiarizing him.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Not the movie itself, which made a decent profit, but a film also released by Wolf, ''Whittiker and Fowl'' about a police officer who's partners with a ''chicken'', is a 30 million dollar bomb (not to mention the scathing reviews it receives by critics) which almost gets production of ''Big Fat Liar'' shut down.
