* WagTheDirector: Creator/ChristianSlater disagreed with Allan Moyle who wanted to bring in a tap dance instructor to help orchestrate a scene that begins with "Hard Harry" faking masturbation on the air and ends with him breaking into a manic dance by himself. Slater wanted to do something more spontaneous based on his instincts.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Allan Moyle initially wanted to cast Creator/JohnCusack as Mark Hunter, but Cusack turned down the role, as he didn't want to play another high school student following his role in ''Film/SayAnything''.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: The school in the film, Hubert Humphrey High, was based on a Montreal high school where Allan Moyle's sister used to teach that, according to Moyle, had a principal "who had a pact with the staff to enhance the credibility of the school scholastically at the expense of the students who were immigrants or culturally disabled in some way or another."
