• Jim Carrey refused to be called by his real name during the entire production - to get into the part, he insisted on being dealt with as Andy Kaufman at all times, on and off the set.
• David Letterman refused to wear a wig, facial make-up or wardrobe to recreate his 1980s look.
• Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Andy Kaufman is totally bald as a result of chemotherapy, his head has "5 o'clock shadow" visible through the makeup. If all of his hair had really fallen out, his scalp would look completely bare.
• Movie Goof (anachronisms): When Andy Kaufman takes Lynne Margulies to the movies, he goes to the snack bar to get some popcorn. The Coca-Cola cups are of the 1990s, not like those of the time setting. In the late 1970s, Coca-Cola was simply called "Coca-Cola" or "Coke". The word 'classic' was not introduced until 1985, after the failure of New Coke.
