* Crossing with Funny, Creator/RachelZegler was cast as María shortly before starting rehearsals for her final high school show, which was ''Theatre/ShrekTheMusical''. She asked Spielberg if it was okay for her to still do the musical, since it could impact the film's production, and he responded "I produced the original ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1''. Of course you can do ''Shrek''."
* Creator/RussTamblyn, who played Riff in the original film, came to the set and met a number of the Jets to give his blessing. "When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way," indeed.
* Creator/RitaMoreno performed the last clapper for the last shot of the original ''West Side Story''. She asked Spielberg if she could do it again for this version, and he instantly agreed. The final shot was of Ansel Elgort singing "María," and while he nailed it on the first take, Spielberg kept reshooting it because he didn't want the film to end.
* At the ceremonial toast for the final shot, Spielberg remarked how he's done [[Film/SavingPrivateRyan a war movie]], [[Film/{{Jaws}} a shark movie]], and [[Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind a UFO movie]], and he'd be asked what he hasn't done. The answer was always "a musical." Here he was finally fulfilling that dream.
* Creator/ArianaDeBose won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, the same category won by Creator/RitaMoreno 60 years earlier, making her the first queer Latina to win an Oscar and the third person to win an Oscar for playing the same character in a separate film. She thanked her in her acceptance speech for helping pave the way for actors like her.

Braulio comes forward and gently tells María she needs to let go of Tony's body so the Jets can move him. She complies and he helps her stand up.

* The moment is strongly overshadowed by being a {{Tearjerker}}, but immediately after being stabbed Riff sees Tony absolutely heartbroken over what has happened and uses his last moments to try to comfort him.
