Trivia Many of the original show's core cast members - including Tiffani Thiessen, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley - have gone on record denouncing this film and the memoir it is based on. Dustin Diamond himself has stated that many of the events in his memoir were greatly embellished by a ghostwriter, and that, in fact, most of the events depicted in the book are completely untrue. Nevertheless, Diamond serves as an executive producer for this film. See more »
Goofs When Tiffani-Amber and Elizabeth sign in to audition for the role of Kelly, the sign-in sheet shows Taylor Parker auditioning for the role of Jessie Spano. However, after Tiffani-Amber and Elizabeth audition, it's revealed there are only two female roles (Kelly and Lisa), and the producers wish to create a new role (Jessie) specifically for Elizabeth. Therefore the role of Jessie Spano couldn't have existed yet when the girls signed the sign-in sheet before the audition. See more »
