Emile Hirsch was offered the role of Kelly but passed.

Billy Bob Thornton was offered the part of Abe but was unavailable. Bill Paxton turned the part down. Gary Cole auditioned and was offered the part but he could not fit it into his schedule. Christopher McDonald was cast in the role the night before filming started. While McDonald was on the set, he discovered that he could not fit it into his schedule. The role was then offered to Christopher Lloyd but he turned it down to do Haunted Lighthouse (2003). The role was finally given to William Sadler, who arrived on set and had only 60 minutes to meet and form a relationship with Shia LaBeouf before their big emotional scene together.

Christopher McDonald was originally cast in the role of Abe, but the role was recast (due to a scheduling conflict) and given to William Sadler the day before Abe's first scene was to be shot. McDonald was shown on Project Greenlight 2 (2003) coming to the set for a wardrobe fitting mere hours before he was replaced.

When Kelly is talking to Miner just before the wedding starts, the epaulet on his jacket goes from being untucked to tucked under the collar even though both of his hands are on the bicycle.

Principal Holmstead: How am I ever going to get through to you?

Lance: Why are you dicking with me, you little dick. You wanna play, dick face?" Kelley: Wait, you just used "dick" as a noun, adjective, and a verb. Is this interesting? Interesting?

Kelly Ernswiler: A funny thing just happened to me. I thought you were dead on the couch.
