* UncreditedRole: The film was directed by all three of its writers, Jeff Schaffer, Alan Berg and David Mandel, but Schaffer is the only credited director per director's union rules. The three [[ForWantOfANail put their names in a hat and picked one out at random]] to decide which of them would get credit.

* RealLifeWritesTheHairStyle: Creator/MattDamon shaved his head for his cameo as he was also preparing to shoot ''Film/TheBrothersGrimm'', for which he'd need to wear a hairpiece. He decided that this was a two-for-one opportunity, as he'd get to dramatically alter his appearance to look more like a rocker and he'd be more comfortable beneath his wig.

* SurprisinglyLenientCensor: Despite all the political incorrectness in the film, there was one scene that was just too much for the studio, referred to by producers as "The Anne Frank sex scene." In the scene -- never filmed but available in script form on the original DVD, they claim -- Cooper finds a flyer for a sex club called "The Secret Room" and accidentally misidentifies the house of Anne Frank as the club. ("He asks somebody, 'Is this The Secret Room' and they go, 'Yes, it will change your life,'" Berg recalled.) Encountering a big line outside, Cooper assumes he has found the correct place, but instead of waiting, he goes through a backdoor. Once he discovers a small room with a small bed, he decides to get naked and wait for a sex worker -- but soon after finds himself exposed in front of a tour group. (To make matters worse, Anne Frank's only living relative was a part of the tour group.) And as if that wasn't enough to horrify the studio, the scene also had Cooper reaching for a small mannequin -- one guess as to whom it was modeled after -- and covering his private parts with it, resulting in an unintended sexually explicit visual for the tour group. The producers wrote the Club Vandersexxx scene to replace this scene once it was nixed.
