Continuity mistake: There is a scene where everyone is dancing. It's towards the end but not at the very end. One of the employees of the record store takes his shirt off. Then the camera cuts back and you see the entire group of people dancing. If you look at him he has his shirt back on. Then a couple of shots later he has it back off again.
Empire Records (1995)
Directed by: Allan Moyle
Starring: Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney, Anthony LaPaglia, Rory Cochrane, Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar
Continuity mistake: When Liv and Renee are having lunch, Liv takes off her bra and puts it on the table. After that, the bra moves around constantly, all over the table, and eventually ends up on the floor somehow, with nobody ever touching it.
Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie when the employees start singing after Mark puts his song on, Renee Zellweger is supposed to be singing while she wipes the CDs but you hear her singing and her mouth is not even moving.
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.
Trivia: "The autograph" girl, is Kessia Randall, the real-life sister of Ethan Embry (Mark).
Trivia: Ethan Embry's (Mark) brother, Aaron, is also in the film, as an uncredited mosh-pitter.
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.
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.
Yeah, cause Eddie gave him the pot brownies that made him hallucinate being in a Gwar show, so he's thanking him.
Question: Does Renee Zelwegger sing her own part in the song at the end? If not, who does?

Chosen answer: He is making sure the CD can't be played anymore because nobody really likes Mark's music.

I never understood that part because they were singing along to the song Mark chose to play.
