What's left behind the scenes
- In an interview on Rod Ryan's show on Houston radio station The Buzz, Craig Robinson revealed that Jonah Hill improvised when he asked to bite a "Milky Way." The other actors supported him, and the entire subsequent conversation about who would get the chocolate bar was also improvised.
- Seth Rogen said in an interview that at some point during filming, each of the main cast members pulled him aside and told him they couldn't do what he was asking, because it was going too far and becoming something extreme. James Franco was the only actor who didn't refuse anything. And Evan Goldberg came up with a game for himself during filming. The goal of the game was to get as many actors as possible to say "No, I can't do that," or to simply refuse to do anything. According to him, the only ones who couldn't be broken were James Franco and Seth Rogen.
- Initially, Michael Cera didn't slap Rihanna on the buttocks; he made a hand motion and stopped a second before making contact. It was noticeable when watching and looked too unnatural. Eventually, Cera asked Rihanna if he could really slap her. She agreed, but on the condition that she could give him real slaps in return each time. Cera agreed.
- Most of the paintings seen in the background were actually painted by James Franco.
- The film was originally going to be shot in Los Angeles to make it easier for celebrities in cameo roles. However, to save money, filming was moved to New Orleans. The only celebrity who refused to participate due to the change of location was Cameron Diaz.
- Directors Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen invited celebrities such as Edward Norton, Mila Kunis, and Elizabeth Banks for cameo roles in James Franco's party scene. All of them were forced to decline due to scheduling conflicts.
- According to Seth Rogen, the plot of "Pineapple Express 2", which his character proposes in the film, is his real idea.
- The film features a song by the band Cults – "Go outside". Dave Franco, James Franco's younger brother, appeared in the music video for this song.
- The dog that Seth Rogen holds towards the end of the film is actually his own dog. Her name is Zelda.
- The role played by Emma Watson was originally written for Mila Kunis.
- According to Seth Rogen, about 50 percent of the film is improvised.
- Seth Rogen stated that the party scene was the most stressful for him as a director.
- Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen said that the rumors about them offering the role to Daniel Radcliffe and him turning it down are true. They admitted that it was at the very early stages of scriptwriting, and at that time, not all the roles were fully developed. Rogen and Goldberg said they understood why Radcliffe declined—because his role was not well-defined enough.
- Jay Baruchel confessed that despite all the fun and excessive naturalism, making the film felt like a kind of therapy, because he felt that some of the arguments and confrontations in the film were exactly the same as if the actors were discussing these issues in real life.
- The bright windbreaker worn by Michael Cera in the film was his idea. According to Seth Rogen, it was Michael's only condition for agreeing to star in the film. This surprised Rogen, who thought Michael would be strongly opposed to the inappropriate behavior of his character as written in the script.
- An early script idea described a story unfolding in a studio where a Busta Rhymes music video was being filmed, with the main characters present when the apocalypse began.
- The lead actors agreed to a significant reduction in their salaries to help Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg save money for the budget.
- Initially, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg requested a budget of $40-45 million from Sony, but the studio was unsure about the film's plot and turned them down. Rogen and Goldberg asked Sony what amount they could give them while still allowing Rogen and Goldberg to retain 'creative control' over the project. Sony's response was $32 million. Rogen and Goldberg agreed.
- In an interview, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg said they originally planned to shoot additional scenes that would be shown during the end credits, featuring James Franco and Danny McBride smoking marijuana with Hitler in hell, but then decided it would be too much.
- Director Evan Goldberg played a cameo role – he dances with his wife in the film's final scene.
- Several of the paintings on the walls of the house depict characters from the series 'Freaks and Geeks' (1999-2000), which previously starred Seth Rogen, James Franco, as well as Jason Segel, Martin Starr, and David Krumholtz.
- In his interview, Seth Rogen spoke about how he and Evan Goldberg combined the real, defining traits of the actors with elements that were completely foreign to them. He noted that in the film, Michael Cera is portrayed as a drug user, grabbing women's buttocks, and being an extremely unpleasant screamer—it's amusing that this character has nothing in common with how Cera behaves in real life.
- Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg made a decision early in the film's development—not to use the actors’ wives or family members in the film. They felt that this would make the film too dark. For example, Danny McBride recently got married and had a child, but this isn’t mentioned in the film. James Franco suggested bringing in his brother Dave Franco for a party scene, but Rogen rejected the idea, saying that he would ultimately have to be killed off, which would be too depressing.
- At the end of the film, in the scene with the man-eating truck, you can notice Danny McBride's sword from the film *Pineapple Express* (2010) tied to the truck.
- Originally, the film was supposed to have a scene where one of the characters says they smoked crack with Whitney Houston. After her death, the joke was cut out of respect. In addition, during the making of the film, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg almost convinced Prince to allow them to use his song “Purple Rain” during the scene where Rogen and Jay Baruchel talk for the last time and then go to heaven. However, after Whitney Houston’s death, Rogen and Goldberg broke off negotiations and decided to use Houston’s version of 'I Will Always Love You' in that scene instead as a tribute.
- According to Seth Rogen, the film contains hidden cameos by celebrities that last only a second. These scenes consist of several short clips of Miley Cyrus dancing in the final scene when the characters arrive in heaven.
- The original script ending featured a cameo by Morgan Freeman as himself, and simultaneously, as God.
- In an interview on Rod Ryan's show on Houston radio station The Buzz, Craig Robinson revealed that Jonah Hill improvised when he asked to take a bite of a "Milky Way." The other actors supported him, and the entire subsequent conversation about who would get the chocolate bar was also improvised.
