Old Shame is In-Universe only
* CreatorBacklash: Averted, at least for Bruce Mitchell a.k.a. Rowsdower. He was always a great sport about acting in this flick--even though neither he nor the rest of the cast received any compensation for the job--and didn't consider any of his work a total waste (although we have a suspicion that Mitchell wasn't returning Tjardus Greidanus's calls afterward).
** After Mitchell died in April, 2018 a large number of Zap Rowsdower fans wrote tributes to him on the website of the funeral home that handled his services, which his wife and friends were very grateful for.
** Played straight with director Tjardus Greidanus. He has since tried to make a career as a documentary maker, and has become sick of his work not being taken seriously due to people (especially those involved in the media business) bringing up this movie or the [=MST3K=] episode. Once the show's rights to use the movie expired, Greidanus majorly jacked up his asking price to renew those rights. He is also notorious for taking the movie down from streaming sites.

None of the actors were paid for appearing in the film, and most of the cameras and equipment were borrowed from the school. During post production the credits for the actors playing Rowsdower (Bruce Mitchell) and Troy (Christian Malcolm) were accidentally switched around. However, by the time the mistake was discovered there was no money left to fix it so this mistake was left in.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Bruce Mitchell was originally invited to audition for Pipper by an actor friend who was supposed to play Rowsdower. After meeting him, Tjardus Greidanus considered Mitchell a better fit for Rowsdower and cast him instead.
