What's left behind the scenes
- Several years after the film's release, Lynch stated that among the things that inspired him to write the screenplay was the trial of athlete and actor O.J. Simpson, who was accused of murdering his own wife. Coincidentally, Robert Blake, who played the Mysterious Man in the film, was also arrested in 2001 on suspicion of murdering his wife.
- Robert Blake later said that he completely failed to understand Lynch's script, so he played the Mysterious Man simply associating him with the devil.
- The house where Fred Madison (Bill Pullman's character) lives in real life belongs to David Lynch. Fred's dislike of "home video" is also a characteristic trait of Lynch.
- Fred's phone number ends in three sixes – in the scene where the Mysterious Man offers to call home, you can hear the dial tones of the phone buttons.
- The role of Mr. Eddy was given to Robert Loggia by Lynch as an "apology" for the role of Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet" (1986), which he had auditioned for but ultimately went to Dennis Hopper.
- The car incident with Mr. Eddy occurs on Mulholland Drive – a direct reference to Lynch's subsequent feature film (Mulholland Drive, 2001).
- Mr. Eddy/Dick Laurent's chrome pistol – a .357 Magnum “Desert Eagle”.
- In one interview, Lynch stated that the events of 'Lost Highway' take place in the same world as his series 'Twin Peaks' (Twin Peaks, 1990-1991).
- After two prominent American critics, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, gave 'Lost Highway' negative reviews, Lynch released a new film poster that mentioned these reviews in context: “Two more reasons to see ‘Lost Highway.’”
- Lynch said that the beginning of the film was based on real events that occurred in his own life – the director recounted that one morning the intercom in his apartment turned on and an unfamiliar voice uttered the phrase “Dick Laurent is dead.” Intrigued, Lynch decided to include this moment in the script.
- Commenting on the film's title, Lynch says it was somehow borrowed from Barry Gifford's book 'Wild at Heart,' which Lynch had previously adapted for the screen. While flipping through the book, Lynch briefly saw the words 'Lost' and 'Highway' on one page, he liked the combination and decided to use it.
- This film was the last in the cinematic careers of Jack Nance (Phil), who appeared in almost all of Lynch's films and died before 'Lost Highway' was released on the big screen, as well as Richard Pryor (Arnie).
- David Lynch liked the music of the rock band Rammstein so much that he included it in his film. And the band Rammstein, in turn, used footage from this film in their music video for 'Rammstein.'
- The scene where Pete sees a pornographic film featuring Alice is an allusion to John Fowles’ novel 'The Magus.'
- In the club scene, when the characters try ecstasy, Shannon Leto, Jared Leto's older brother and drummer for the band 30 Seconds to Mars, which he co-founded with his brother in 1998, is among the young people.
- The scene where Pete watches a pornographic film featuring Alice is an allusion to John Fowles' novel "The Magus".
