Continuity mistake: On the roof, Cory is expressing to AJ how he should go to art school. She then shoves him. His sweater slips down way off his shoulder. The camera cuts to another angle and his sweater is back on his shoulder. His hand position also changes. His right hand was down in front of him before the camera cut, but his hand was touching his face after the camera cut. (01:23:00)

Continuity mistake: When AJ and Cory are talking out back while AJ is painting, his hair is loosely hanging off the front of his head and flowing in the wind. When the camera changes angle, his hair is now neatly glued to his head. (00:55:15 - 00:55:40)

Warren Beaty: Who glued these quarters to the floor?
A.J.: I did.
Warren: Why the hell for, man?
A.J.: I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.

Trivia: Just after Lucas tells Joe he's a 'superb manager', Joe drags him off to beat him up in his office. When he takes him into the back, you see a girl standing in the doorway. She is the same girl you see when Mark and AJ enter the store at the beginning. Her character was called Lily and she was cut out of the film. Her name is also still in the credits.

Question: When Mark is watching a video in which he views himself being swallowed by a random monstrosity, he says, "I love you Eddie." Now, I took it as a reference to the "Eddie" that was part of a famous Iron Maiden stage show back in the eighties. A friend of mine took it as him (Mark) being thankful for his friend, Eddie, giving him the drug inbibed brownies that he was eating. Which was it?

Answer: I'm pretty sure it was the Eddie that gave him the brownies, because the band we see that is onstage at the time is Gwar, if I am not mistaken. They were famous for having a monster onstage that would 'eat' fans.

T Poston

Yeah, cause Eddie gave him the pot brownies that made him hallucinate being in a Gwar show, so he's thanking him.
