  • Acting for Two: Tony Belinsky and his son, Pete, are both played by Ron Thompson.
  • Executive Meddling: Bakshi wanted Pete to win over the record execs by playing "Freebird", but it was insisted that "Night Moves" be used instead — a song that Bakshi hated. "Freebird" plays over the end credits, however.
  • Late Export for You: American Pop wasn't released in Japan until 1996, 15 years after the film's initial release.
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: Due to American Pop's extensive usage of licensed music, it took until 1998 for Columbia Pictures to clear the music rights and release the film on home video.
