With Elizabethtown a couple weeks away, let's look at some interesting factoids from Crowe's first film the immortal Say Anything:

- Originally the Smithereens were commissioned by Cameron Crowe to write the key song to the film. "A Girl Like You" was their creation which Crowe decided reveled the entire story of the film so he opted for Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" instead. When Lloyd was holding up the boombox it was actually playing a Fishbone song.
- Kirk Cameron was almost cast as Lloyd. Robert Downey Jr. and Christian Slater were also in the running. The part of Diane almost went to Jennifer Connelly.
- The dojo featured in this film was also the Cobra Kai dojo from the Karate Kid.
