What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in a real high school, and regular classes continued in classrooms adjacent to the filming locations. In some scenes, the voices of real students and teachers can be heard in the distance. Director Alexander Payne decided not to remove them to give the film greater authenticity.
- The apples on the apple tree in Mrs. Novotny's yard were tied to the branches.
- Chris Klein's debut. Director Alexander Payne was looking for a school for filming, and at one of the schools in Omaha, he met Klein. Although other actors auditioned for the role of Paul, Payne decided to give it to Klein (and they didn't film at the school where they met).
- Real high school students participated in the scenes in the gymnasium, but there weren't enough of them, as exam time had already arrived, and many students found that working as extras was a long and often tedious task. The plot required all the seats in the gym stands to be occupied, and Alexander Payne asked the extras to sit in a different place before each new take – and repeat this two or three times. In editing, it was made to appear as if all the seats were occupied.
- On the 3rd day of filming in Omaha, Thora Birch, who had been cast as Tammy, left the film due to disagreements with director Alexander Payne.
