An early scene takes place outside Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco on Sunset Strip-one of West Hollywood's busiest multi-lane thoroughfares.

When Cherie calls her sister Marie from a telephone both, she inserts coins before she has even lifted receiver, then dials; call would never go through unless she had lifted receiver first.

When Cherie Currie ('Dakota Fanning' (qv)) is attempting to buy a bottle of vodka at the supermarket, alcohol can be seen on display that was not in production yet e.

green and orange boxes of Patron.

When Rodney Bingenheimer interviews Joan Jett on his KROQ radio show in early Eighties, he claims that he used to play a lot of Runways music at his old Sunset Strip club, Rodney's English disco - although his club closed half a year before band even got together, let alone had landed a recording contract.

However, it is possible that the character was mistaken or lying to Joan.

One of the crew's hands can be seen holding a black card in the reflection of the trailer's window when Cherie is standing outside waiting while Kim Fowley and Joan Jett are coming up with the "Cherry Bomb" lyrics.

'Kristen Stewart (I)' (qv), as Joan Jett, wears leather pants throughout the movie.

On the commentary track featuring the real 'Joan Jett' (qv), Joan says she never wore leather pants but only wore jeans throughout her career.

The band checks into standard budget motel in which all room entrances are from exterior walkways facing pool, yet later girls are seen walking down enclosed hallway to get to rooms.
