Boogie Nights/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Several Real Life porn performers had cameos. Nina Hartley appeared in several scenes as Little Bill's faithless wife. Veronica Hart is the judge at Amber Waves' custody hearing. More recent porn star Lil' Cinderella (credited as Amber Hunter) and Lexi Leigh have bit parts. Summer Cummings and Skye Blue share a Jacuzzi.
 * In a non-porn related example, Reed Rothchild shows off his magic skills to Kurt, who seems less than impressed. Kurt is played by Ricky Jay, a professional magician.
 * All-Star Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
 * Doing It for the Art: What Horner wants to do… or at least get people to stay in their seats after they've finished what they came for.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: The Bandit, Dewey Cox, Truman Capote, Jerry Lundegaard and Basher all make appearances.
 * Marky Mark and Dewey Cox eventually get stuck in the middle of a drug deal gone wrong between Doctor Octopus and The Punisher.
 * Before coming to Sunnydale, Andrew Wells did some movies he's not proud of...
 * And Justine Cooper.
 * Technology Marches On: Horner has a problem using videotape to film. The rest of the industry doesn't.
 * Throw It In: The Angrish example mentioned on the main page was a typo by Anderson that he decided to leave.
 * Also the joke at the end of the film with the misspelling of "Rodriguez" on the sign, was a result of PT Anderson's typo which rendered it "Rodriquez".

Sydney Pollack and Warren Beatty were offered the part of Jack Horner. Samuel L. Jackson was offered the part of Buck Swope. Marisa Tomei was offered the part of Amber Waves.
