* [[Dawson Casting]]: Judd Nelson was 24 at the time, and Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez were both 22. Averted with Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall, both 16 at the time.

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Judd Nelson remained in-character between shooting, and frequently taunted [[Molly Ringwald]] to the point of tears. [[John Hughes]] was on the verge of firing him, when Paul Gleason, ironically playing Principal Vernon, intevened on his behalf.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The studio wanted a scene involving a sexual situation, since this ''was'' a teen movie in [[The Eighties]] and movies like ''[[Porky's]]'' were still on executives' minds. So Hughes wrote and filmed a scene where Vernon spies on a female teacher (played by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394213/ Karen Leigh Hopkins]) swimming nude in the school's swimming pool. Obviously, [[Subverted Trope|Hughes ended up cutting out this scene entirely]] because it hurt the tone of the film.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald actually auditioned for the others' role. Emilio Estevez was originally cast as Bender, but when no suitable actor was found for the part of Andy, he agreed to take that instead, and let Judd Nelson play Bender instead
