| 1 | * ActorSharedBackground: The wives of the Steel Dragon members are played by wives and girlfriends of real-life rock stars. For example, Heidi Mark was married to Vince Neil from Music/MotleyCrue, Carrie Stevens was the girlfriend of Eric Carr from {{Music/Kiss}}, etc. |
| 2 | * ApprovalOfGod: While the script eventually shied away from actually portraying Music/JudasPriest to something resembling the story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, [[https://sleazeroxx.com/tim-ripper-owens-recalls-how-the-movie-rock-star-was-going-to-be-called-metal-gods-at-one-point/ the man himself said it was flattering]], and bassist Ian Hill [[https://www.popmatters.com/judas-priest-interview-2495529544.html found the movie entertaining]]. |
| 3 | * ArtImitatesLife: |
| 4 | ** Music/RodStewart's then-wife Rachel Hunter as Steel Dragon drummer A.C.'s wife. |
| 5 | ** [[Music/MotleyCrue Vince Neil]]'s ex-wife Heidi Mark as Kirk Cuddy's wife. |
| 6 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $38 million. Gross, $19,334,145. The fact that it was released literally days before the September 11, 2001 terror attacks did nothing to help its box office performance either. |
| 7 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: Blood Pollution's practice space is located in the basement of a pornographic movie theater. These days, porno theaters are all but extinct due to home video media and internet porn allowing people to watch pornography in the privacy of their own homes. |
| 8 | ** The studio setup, too. While the soundboard still exists, the huge reel-to-reel tapes have been replaced with digital recording software. |
| 9 | * WhatMightHaveBeen: Creator/BradPitt was originally cast as Chris, but left the project due to creative differences. |
| 10 | * WorkingTitle: ''Metal God''. |
