Continuity mistake: In his cameo in this film, Tim Burton is holding something in his left hand that looks like a remote of some sort when we first see him in the background. Then the shot changes to Debbie and back to Tim, but this time he doesn't have it. Then the shot changes to Debbie again and then back to Tim, and he reaches to his far right and picks it up.

Continuity mistake: The scene where Alice in Chains are playing, when we enter the club the band are in full gig mode. With Layne (the singer) stripped naked from the waist up and sweaty then later in the club he has his jacket on and looks like he's fresh and just starting the gig.

Suggested correction: This isn't a mistake. He could have dried himself off and dressed up more during an intermission in the set. I've been to numerous concerts where frontmen have wardrobe changes throughout their shows.

Visible crew/equipment: When Steve (Campbell Scott) grabs his stuff from his drawer in his work cubicle, the partitions fall down. On the lower right hand of the screen you can see someones hand getting ready to push it over.

Suggested correction: I watched this sequence 4 times, and there is no hand visible. In fact, the cubicle wall that correlates to the lower right-hand side of the screen is obscured by an easel.

Trivia: When Campbell Scott is in a depressed state, lying on his back on the floor, listen to Blue Train jazz music in the background. It's the same song used in Jerry Maguire when Tom Cruise and Reene Zellweger have sex. Apparently Cameron Crowe loves this song.

Trivia: When Debbie is discussing the dating video she wants to make, she holds up a picture of, and mentions, the late actress Edie Sedgwick. Edie Sedgwick was the real-life cousin of Kyra Sedgwick, who plays Linda. (00:47:05)

Jeff Swanson

Trivia: Director Cameron Crowe worked his name into several scenes in the film; for example, the name of the TV station (KRWE) and the name on the side of the truck that collides with the car Linda is driving ("Crowe's Landscaping").
