Line 13:
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: Averted. Kickboxing star Don "The Dragon" Wilson is an idol of Lloyd, yet he plays Lloyd's sparring partner at the karate gym. Possibly justified to the low status of kickboxing then.
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: "I don't want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career."
* [[Fake American]]: John Mahoney. Who knew?
{{quote| '''Mr. Court''': "I'M INCARCERATED LLOYD!"}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Phillip Baker Hall of [[Paul Thomas Anderson]] fame is the investigating agent who tells Diane the truth.
** [[Entourage|Jeremy Piven]] is among the "Gas n' Sip" guys.
*** If a movie stars John Cusack 9 times out of 10 it will usually have Jeremy Piven, sometimes even in a supporting role.
** [[Heathers|Heather Chandler and Heather McNamara]] are at the party, thrown by Eric Stoltz, and [[Bones|Russ Brennan]] is Joe.
** Chynna Phillips (of Wilson Phillips fame) is Mimi, Joe's current girlfriend.
** And [[Frasier|Lilith]] is the school guidance counselor.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The film's called ''Say Anything'' because Diane's dad insists that she tell him everything. It adds to the [[Dramatic Irony]] when you realize at the film's end {{spoiler|how he wasn't completely honest with his daughter.}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Are you more romantic than Lloyd Dobbler?"
