* When Tommy is told he can get SAG membership by starring in a commercial, he ends up [[LoopholeAbuse directing, writing, producing and starring in a commercial (mostly swiped from Greg's demo reel) for Street Fashions, a company Tommy owns]]. Greg imagines the SAG people taking one look at this and then frantically combing over their legal fine print to find ''anything'' that would allow them to not let Wiseau join their ranks.

* Greg debunks the idea that the money Wiseau used to make The Room came from criminal connections...by pointing out that if he were running a criminal enterprise of some sort, Tommy Wiseau is the LAST person he would ever trust to be part of it in any form. Given Wiseau's spending habits and general eccentricity, it's hard to disagree with Sestero on this point.

** While filming establishing shots in a high-end residential area, Tommy attracts the attention of a policeman who asks to see their filming permit (which Tommy did not get, but insisted they wouldn't need). As with every other argument in the book, Tommy tries his "You're wrong!" approach, but once it is clear that he's not going to win against a policeman, Greg and the crew immediately pack everything and scarper.

* While in San Francisco getting the film's many, many, MANY establishing shots of the city, Wiseau wants to get some shots of Alcatraz prison, so he takes his crew (consisting of his third DP Todd Barron, a techie named Zsolt, and Greg himself) downtown to a large building adorned with two absolutely massive American flags and is home to a number of other businesses leasing the building. Over the course of their time in this choice piece of downtown San Francisco property, it gradually becomes apparent to Greg and the others that Tommy ''owns'' the building, despite never having mentioned it to anyone before, despite the fact that they could have simply used its roof to film the rooftop scenes with much less hassle. It's funny in a rather surreal way.
