Trivia: 1. Cloris Leachman's last scene in the movie was printed on the first take without any previous rehearsals. She wanted to rehearse the scene but director Peter Bogdanovich thought it would ruin the scene if it was rehearsed. Ultimately his sense of direction paid off, as Leachman won the Academy Award for her performance. 2. Cybill Shepherd's and Randy Quaid's film debut. 3. Location manager Frank Marshall doubled in the role of the football team's quarterback. 4. It was one of the first films to have used a contemporary popular music soundtrack, and for aesthetic and technical reasons it was shot in black and white, which was unusual for its time. Anachronisms: 1. The movie is set in the early 1950s, but at 50 minutes and 19 seconds in, when Sonny is driving through town at night, a car from the mid-1960s or later is briefly visible. 2. The jukebox shown several times in shots of the diner interior is a Wurlitzer 2000 model, this was not produced until 1956. 3. As Sonny drives past all of Sam the Lion's businesses (from which he has been banned), there is a brief shot out the truck's window which takes in a 1960s-vintage car parked at the curb. 4. Several scenes show television programming, however TV was not introduced to the Wichita Falls area (and Anarene) until 1953. The movie takes place in 1951-1952. 5. When Sonny and Jacy are driving to Oklahoma to get married, the highway markings are incorrect. In 1952, Texas highways were marked with a solid line down the middle of the highway with no-passing zones marked with dashed lines. 6. When the pickup pulls up in front of the house and one of the cast gets out to go into the house you can see houses in the background that are clearly late 1960s style architecturally. 7. When the boys are running in the high school gym, the basketball court has a 6 foot lane. In 1951 the lane would have been only 3 feet wide.

Trivia: 1. All of the names on Danny McGrath's People To Kill List (except for Billy Madison) are those of the crew, directors, or producers of the movie. 2. Charles Bronson turned down the role of Billy Madison's father. Anachronism: When Eric is confronting Principal Anderson and says this is an issue from 1983, as he flips through the pages throughout the scene, you can clearly see a picture of Bret 'The Hitman' Heart in the bottom right hand corner in the magazine. Bret Hart came into mainstream wrestling much later than 1983.
