- Creator Backlash: Zac Efron cited this film while speaking out against the demands of shirtless scenes and how they contribute to unrealistic body image issues in the public. He says that extreme diet and exercise he put himself through caused long-lasting physical and mental health issues.
- Dear Negative Reader: Dwayne Johnson mocked the film's negative reviews in a few tweets.
- Deleted Scene: One notable deleted scene had now-infamous web celebrity Logan Paul playing a minor role. Ironically enough said scene depicted him getting kicked off the try-outs for being a douchebag.
- Development Hell: A live-action Baywatch movie was announced as early as 2004 and went through multiple writers, directors, and actors; reflected by the finished film having SIX credited writers (two screenwriters and four "Story by" credits).
- Hostility on the Set: Most of the cast and crew did not get along with Kelly Rohrbach. She was reportedly so difficult on set to the point where none of her co-stars wanted to be paired with Rohrbach during press junkets to promote the movie.
- Star-Derailing Role: For Kelly Rohrbach, not helped by the reported Hostility on the Set towards her. As of 2024, Rohrbach's acting career has made very little progress since the release of this film.note
- Those Two Actors: This is the second time that Dwayne Johnson and Alexandra Daddario were in the same film, after San Andreas. (Daddario is even in a Deleted Scene in a third film with Johnson.)
- What Could Have Been:
- At one point, Reno 911! creator Robert Ben Garant was set to direct, with a screenplay by fellow Reno alum Thomas Lennon. Bill Hader would've played Mitch.
- Earlier drafts had more characters from the original series, including Newmie, Craig, Shauni, Caroline, and Hobie; who in this iteration would've been the son of Mitch and Stephanie.
