* BeamMeUpScotty: The most commonly used poster for this film (and, in fact, the one used on the movie's page on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki) was actually fan-made. The official poster is much more minimalistic, merely showing the town's silhouette over a blue backdrop. This is probably why the fan-made one is more popular.

* PromotedFanBoy: Creator/JJAbrams had grown up making his own movies and being a huge fan of Creator/StevenSpielberg's early work. After being featured in a newspaper article about a Super 8 film festival, Abrams was contacted by Spielberg's assistant and was given the job of editing and restoring his idol's own 8 mm movies. Abrams got to work directly with Spielberg on this film, which was the former's [[{{homage}} love letter]] to the latter and which was produced by Spielberg himself.

* FanNickname: "Cooper" for the alien monster, since it's a convenient portmanteau of [[Film/{{Cloverfield}} "Clover"]] and "Super".

* DVDCommentary: The commentary featuring director Creator/JJAbrams, director of photography Larry Fong and producer Bryan Burk has them mulling over what question to ask Creator/StevenSpielberg via email, since he never does commentaries. There's also talk of Fong's magic skills (which are demonstrated in a featurette elsewhere on the disc), and he promises to bend the silverware in the house of anyone listening to the commentary.
