* While filming, a then teenaged Laura Dern was convinced that when her character Connie gets into the car with Arnold, she does not actually get raped (even though the movie strongly implies otherwise). Upon its release, Dern restated her belief in an interview that the characters just went for a drive. [[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/07/magazine/laura-dern-little-women.html Many years later]], Dern said that her role in the 2018 film ''The Tale'', where she plays an adult who comes to realize a childhood sexual experience was in fact, abuse, prompted her to reevaluate the ''Smooth Talk'' ending. Dern said in hindsight, her earlier belief was naive and confirmed Arnold sexually assaulted Connie.
* In the mall scene, Dern’s character refers to a guy by a gay slur in a scene of ValuesDissonance. Ironically, in the years since, Dern has become a [[https://youtu.be/nlQotkWWDQI LGBTQ+ icon]] and her [[LGBTFanbase gay fans]] have [[https://letterboxd.com/phntmthrd/film/smooth-talk/ reclaimed the scene]].
