* CharacterExaggeration: This fictionalized Tommy Wiseau is exaggerated from the one Sestero describes in the book; his English is even more broken, and his lack of common sense goes a bit further, such as having Johnny do the "hump the dress" bit ''after'' shooting himself. It should be pointed out that while this is an exaggeration of the real Wiseau's behavior, it's ''not by very much''; if they're taking him UpToEleven, the genuine article was already a ten.
* CompositeCharacter: Sandy Schklair is combined with Byron, a stagehand whom Greg came to call the "director of yelling", who started doing Sandy's job once Sandy started phoning it in and, eventually, quit when a better opportunity came up. Sandy is seen working and commenting on the suicide and sex scenes, when according to the book the real Schklair had left the production before those scenes were filmed.
