When Diane visits her father in prison, she hands him a pen, but visitors in prison are very closely searched - no way could a visitor give a prisoner a pen of any kind (they're contraband for prisoners as they can be used as weapons), let alone a heavy pen like that one. Even if he were in a minimum-security prison (which his orange jumpsuit seems to indicate he's not) this rule would still apply. See more...
Say Anything... (1989) - 5 trivia entries
Directed by Cameron Crowe, starring John Cusack, John Mahoney (add more)
Lawrence Kasdan was originally set to direct, but dropped out.
The Smithereens were commissioned by Cameron Crowe to write the theme song for the movie, and they came up with "A Girl Like You." Crowe thought that the lyrics were too leading (they outline the entire plot), so he rejected it in favor of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." "A Girl Like You" went on to be included in the Smithereen's next album, "11."
Kirk Cameron was nearly cast as Lloyd instead of John Cusack.
Jennifer Connelly was going to be cast as Diane Court but director Cameron Crowe cast Lone Skye instead after he saw her performance in "River's Edge" and felt she was more right for the part then Connelly.
Christian Slater, Peter Berg, Kirk Cameron, Robert Downey Jr and Loren Dean all auditioned for the role of Lloyd Dobler. John Cusack was cast instead and Loren Dean was cast as Joe, a smaller supporting role.
