- Harsher in Hindsight: Jerry Lee's cousin Jimmy Swaggart admonishes Jerry for his less-than-Christian lifestyle choices, in Real Life decades later Jimmy would be caught with prostitutes not once but twice. The first time happened a year before this film was released, no less.
- He Really Can Act: Dennis Quaid gave a very worthwhile performance as Jerry Lee Lewis and even right down to his very mannerisms to the point of the musician saying that he was the only thing he liked about the film.
- Narm: "Angland can kiss my ass!"
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Jerry Lee Lewis' cousin is Joyce Byers.
- Bob Bishop is Jud Philips.
- Jack Ryan is Jimmy Lee Swaggert.
