Trivia: The Room
  • Big Name Fan: Rob Corddry, Jonah Hill, Kristen Bell, David Cross, Paul Rudd and many others are devotees of the film. Cross eventually showed it to the creators of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, which resulted in The Room being shown on [adult swim].
  • The Danza: Mike Holmes as Mike.
  • Dawson Casting: Inverted. Lisa has been together with Johnny for seven years, yet was played by an 22-year-old actress. Though her character was probably meant to be older, the contrast of the actress's age with Johnny's Tommy Wiseau being in his late 40s made this all the more noticeable.
  • Doing It for the Art: Tommy Wiseau. The man spent years raising six million dollars to write, produce, direct and advertise his dream project with absolutely no studio support. The amount of time and effort he poured into making it a reality is nothing short of astonishing - perhaps even inspiring.
  • Fan Nickname: Greg Sestero (Mark) is referred to as "Sestosterone".
    • Mike is the "Me Underwears" guy.
      • But only because that's more succinct than "Hilarious Blowjob Face" guy. (・‿゜)
  • It Is Pronounced Tropay: It's Tommy whiz-oh, not wass-oh.
  • Word Of God: According to Mr. Wiseau, Lisa's mother makes a full recovery from her breast cancer.
