• Jamie Kennedy's character, Brad "B-Rad G" Gluckman, originally appeared in his hidden-camera show, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. According to Jamie Kennedy, the character of "B-Rad G" is a spoof of Eminem's character in 8 Mile, and started out in his stand-up comedy routines.

• Nick Swardson was 19 years old when he walked into Barry Katz's office and informed him that he needed to send a fax. He pulled out a spiral notebook containing a handwritten (not typed) screenplay entitled "Suckaz", tore the pages out, and faxed them to Jamie Kennedy and a few other comedians in the business. That screenplay would eventually become "Malibu's Most Wanted".

• In the movie, B-rad mentions the name Rob Van Winkle. This is the real name of white rapper Vanilla Ice.
