- Deleted Scenes: There was a filmed scene that was cut from the final film of Warren shoplifting Prep H and a bottle of wine from the Baker's grocery store but he was caught by an associate and thrown in jail for the night. The police agree to release him after he spends one night in jail and pays for the items.
- Enforced Method Acting: For some of the characters we meet along Warren's road trip. The tire shop attendant for one thing was not an actor, he is an actual employee of an actual tire shop 'Warren' visits. This is common for Alexander Payne, who feels real employees add a level of authenticity in those roles actors cannot.
- Playing Against Type: Completely with Jack Nicholson. One of the most magnetic movie superstars plays a boring, repressed man who's led a dull, somewhat wasted life. With a comb-over. And we see him really letting himself go once his wife dies This is one film where you cannot accuse him of playing Jack Nicholson.
- The Red Stapler: You might guess Childreach had a massive spike in donations after the film was released.
- Signature Scene: Kathy Bates in a hot tub.
