* WhatCouldHaveBeen: StarDerailingRole: Creator/MelanieGriffith started out as one of the most highly demanded actresses of the 80's, starring in hits like ''Film/BodyDouble'', ''Film/SomethingWild'', and ''Film/WorkingGirl''. Preceding this film, however, she had starred in a number of critical and financial flops throughout the 90's, like ''Film/TheBonfireOfTheVanities'', ''Film/ShiningThrough'', ''Film/MilkMoney'', and ''Film/MulhollandFalls''. This film's failure served as the final nail in her film career's coffin, as her input ever since has comprised mostly of TV series that only lasted for one season and low-budget films that went direct-to-video or were made for television.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The title for the film came from the nickname given to John Waters by the headline of an interview; the plot idea came from an incident where ''Film Threat Magazine'' told its readers to attack the readers of ''Premier Magazine''...and some of those readers '''actually did'''.
** To a lesser extent, the kidnapping of Honey and her eventual siding with her captors, is similar to that of Patty Hearst's own kidnapping ordeal; Hearst herself appeared in this film (as Fidget's mother) and has appeared in every one of John Waters' other films after ''Film/CryBaby''.
** Also, [[spoiler:Honey setting her hair on fire]] was inspired by something Waters asked Mink Stole to do while filming ''Film/PinkFlamingos'' (which she initially accepted, but later backed out of doing).
