• (at around 15 mins) The film playing during the scene in which Nadine and her client have sex is I Stand Alone (1998).

• As a French noun, "un baiser" means "a kiss", but as a verb, "baiser" means "to fuck", so "baise-moi" translates to "fuck me". In some markets, the film has been screened as "Rape Me", but that title in French would be "Viole Moi". In a 2002 interview, "Rape Me" was rejected by directors Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi.
