* CastTheExpert / ThrowItIn: Thadeus A. Thomas who plays the Yellow Pages salesman was not an actor but an actual salesman. His appearance in the film happened by accident as he was passing by and attempted to sell the cast and crew ad spaces for the book. Intrigued by his presence, Van Sant decided to cast him in the film and the scene where Thomas discusses Blake's ad space was improvised.
* CreatorCameo: Gus Van Sant voices one of the callers.
* TheDanza: Most of the characters share their names with the actors that portray them:
** Luke is played by Lukas Haas.
** Asia is played by Creator/AsiaArgento.
** Scott is played by Scott Green.
** Nicole is played by Nicole Vicius.
** The Elder Fribergs are played by Adam and Andy Friberg.
* InMemoriam: The film is dedicated to Music/KurtCobain for obvious reasons.
* ShrugOfGod: Both Van Sant and Creator/AsiaArgento have denied that the latter's character is based on Cobain's wife Music/CourtneyLove. Argento has even stated that they avoided any references to Love as she has already faced too much flack from Cobain's fans regarding his suicide.
