* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The bombshell that Danielle is actually a porn star gets dropped when Eli has to search around to find a film on video tape; ten years later a quick Google search could have told him as much. The movie they shoot in the climax is also distributed on VHS as opposed to DVD (or they could even distribute digitally). Danielle's porn star alias is 'Athena' and she has friends called April and Ferrari; porn stars going by a single name was very common around the time the film was made but had fallen out of popularity by the next decade in favor of the standard first and last that had been common previously.

* DawsonCasting: Averted. Emile Hirsch was actually seventeen and many of his nude scenes had to be done with doubles as a result. Chris Marquette and Paul Dano were borderline - at only nineteen years old.
* DyeingForYourArt: Defied. Emile Hirsch was asked to shave his chest for his {{Shirtless Scene}}s. He refused because at seventeen he didn't want to shave off "my manhood".
* EnforcedMethodActing: Timothy Olyphant's rings were scratching Emile Hirsch during the fight in the car, so he is in genuine pain.
* StarMakingRole: This shot Elisha Cuthbert to the map as a sex symbol in the 2000s. She already had some notoriety due to ''Series/TwentyFour'' but this really made people know who she was.

* ThrowItIn: The cigar falling out of Emile Hirsch's mouth was unscripted, but so in character, so the director left it in.
* {{Tuckerization}}: The character Eli is based off Creator/EliRoth, according to WordOfGod.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Kelly was nearly played by Matt Dillon. Timothy Olyphant passed on it twice before eventually accepting it.
