* [[Billing Displacement]]: Dee Wallace as Elliott's mother Mary.
* [[Cast the Expert]]: The doctors are real doctors. The commentary mentions that this was because actors wouldn't quite speak as if they had been using the proper terms for years because, well, they hadn't been.
* [[Cast the Expert]]: The doctors are real doctors. Spielberg mentioned that this was necessary as they would be better at rapidly spitting out terminology that required years of medical school to lean than any actor who'd been simply given a briefing on it. Humorously, this lead to some competition amongst local doctors who all wanted to be in the movie.
* [[Deleted Scene]]: [[Harrison Ford]] filmed a scene as the principal of Elliot's school, set after he frees the frogs, which Spielberg cut because he felt Ford's presence was too distracting.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: When Gertie bursts in on Elliot and sees E.T. for the first time, Drew Barrymore was actually scared when E.T. suddenly stretched his neck up.
