* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/KathleenTurner says she found Creator/NicolasCage difficult to work with and that her frustrations with the actor helped fuel her portrayal of Peggy Sue's anger toward Charlie. She later made numerous allegations about his behavior in her memoirs but ended up getting sued by Cage for defamation and had to issue a public apology after losing.
Added DiffLines:
* WagTheDirector: Creator/NicolasCage says he didn't want to appear in this film and only agreed to the repeated requests of his uncle, Creator/FrancisFordCoppola, if he'd be allowed to go over-the-top.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** To 21st-century eyes, the 1986 scenes can seem as weird and gaudy as the 1960 scenes.
** Peggy Sue warns her little sister not to eat the red M&M's or she'll get sick. The movie was released during the decade-long period when red M&M's were discontinued due to a health scare involving red dye. (Red M&M's didn't actually use the dye in question.) For the audience of 1986, it was the presence of red M&M's which was dated, but now it's the concern over red M&M's which seems dated.
** "For some reason everything else gets tiny, but portable radios get enormous." Of course, she's referring to boomboxes, which are now seen as a fad of TheEighties.

* DawsonCasting: Creator/KathleenTurner plays her high school self at the age of 32. Averted as well because she also plays her 43 year old self. However, it's necessary so that she can switch between young and old. For a prime example, watch Turner's performance when she gets a phone call from her grandmother, who is still alive, but from Peggy's perspective, died decades ago. She goes from teenager to middle-aged "oh my God, it's my ''grandmother''!" in a nanosecond.
