Trivia
  • Michel Gondry was inspired to make this film after making Block Party (2005) which took place on one city block. Dave Chappelle was interested in playing Mike and came up with ideas of remaking Driving Miss Daisy (1989), Rush Hour 2 (2001) and Boyz n the Hood (1991).
  • # # During the first scene within the "Be Kind Rewind" video store, a music video can be seen playing on the television behind the check-out counter. It`s the music video for "Ma Maison" by French rock group Oui Oui, which Michel Gondry directed. Gondry was also the drummer for Oui Oui when they were still together between 1983 and 1992.
  • In keeping with the spirit of the film, director Michel Gondry "sweded" a version of this movie`s trailer featuring only himself on screen.
  • Kirsten Dunst was in talks to play the role that became Alma but she dropped out for unknown reasons.
  • The reason for Jack Black`s hilarious version of the "Ghostbusters" theme song was simply because the legal department didn`t have the rights to Ray Parker Jr.`s song yet.
  • # # Cameo: [Elizabeth Berkley] During the scene in the library where Jerry and Mike are "sweding" Ghostbusters, she is one of the girls standing in the library watching in confusion.
  • # # The term "Sweded" was created due to the Swedish government`s stance on file-sharing. While many media corporations have succeeded in having files of their copyrighted works removed from Internet web sites, Sweden has treated such file sharing as a form of free speech, and a right of consumers. There is even a Swedish pro-piracy political party.
  • SPOILER: Jack Black starred in the 2005 remake of King Kong (2005) as Carl Denham and the 1933 original is sweded (with Black playing the title character). Also, Sigourney Weaver starred in Ghost Busters (1984) (the first film sweded) as Dana Barrett but in this film, she plays Ms. Lawson, a government agent sent to destroy the tapes.
