- Actor-Shared Background: The wives of the Steel Dragon members are played by wives and girlfriends of real-life rock stars. For example, Heidi Mark was married to Vince Neil from Mötley Crüe, Carrie Stevens was the girlfriend of Eric Carr from KISS, etc.
- Approval of God: While the script eventually shied away from actually portraying Judas Priest to something resembling the story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the man himself said it was flattering
, and bassist Ian Hill found the movie entertaining. - Art Imitates Life:
- Rod Stewart's then-wife Rachel Hunter as Steel Dragon drummer A.C.'s wife.
- Vince Neil's ex-wife Heidi Mark as Kirk Cuddy's wife.
- Box Office Bomb: Budget, $38 million. Gross, $19,334,145. The fact that it was released literally days before the September 11, 2001 terror attacks did nothing to help its box office performance either.
- Technology Marches On: Blood Pollution's practice space is located in the basement of a pornographic movie theater. These days, porno theaters are all but extinct due to home video media and internet porn allowing people to watch pornography in the privacy of their own homes.
- The studio setup, too. While the soundboard still exists, the huge reel-to-reel tapes have been replaced with digital recording software.
- What Might Have Been: Brad Pitt was originally cast as Chris, but left the project due to creative differences.
- Working Title: Metal God.
