- Dawson Casting: Inverted in the case of Andrew Strong, who played Deco. He was sixteen when The Commitments was filmed but was selected for the role because his singing voice sounded older. One of his anecdotes in the DVD "Making of" featurette involved a listener estimating his age as twenty-one based on his voice alone.
- Defictionalization: Some of the stars of the film toured under the Commitments name.
- Doing It for the Art: While Jimmy gives this impression, he does want the group to be successful. Joey Fagan is in it purely for his love of soul music.
- Hey, It's That Guy!:
- Jimmy's father is Miles O'Brien.
- The guy with the crazy hair is Glen Hansard!
- What Could Have Been: The film-makers considered getting Rory Gallagher or Van Morrison to play Joey Fagan.
