Did you know

• According to Greg Sestero, Tommy Wiseau submitted the film to Paramount Pictures, hoping to get them on board as distributor. Usually, it takes about two weeks to get a reply from such a studio. This movie, however, was rejected within 24 hours.

• After low ticket sales, the film was almost immediately pulled from cinemas. Tommy Wiseau paid to keep the film playing in one cinema for two weeks so it would be eligible for Oscar nominations. This proved to be a fruitless attempt, as the film didn't receive any nominations. Ironically, The Disaster Artist (2017), the film based on Greg Sestero's book, received one Oscar nomination for "Best Adapted Screenplay".

• Towards the end of the Los Angeles portion of the shoot, morale among the crew was so low that Todd Barron's name was not listed on the clapperboard, take numbers were not being recorded, giggling crew members wandered in and out of shots, and entire scenes were out of focus simply because nobody bothered to check the lens.
