Edit

Big Fat Liar (2002) Poster

Lindsay Lohan, who was fourteen years old at the time of production, was originally signed on to play Kaylee. She dropped out presently before filming began, deciding to have a temporary hiatus from acting for a year. She was replaced with Amanda Bynes.

This is Amanda Bynes' moving picture debut.

The blue dye was tattoo ink that was sprayed in several layers on his body occasionally throughout the twenty-four hour period to keep it topped up. Co-ordinate to Paul Giamatti (Marty Wolf), it was fairly like shooting fish in a barrel to employ, but was a bit more difficult to get off, particularly his feet, for some reason. They stayed blue for several months.

The protagonist's concluding name is Shepherd every bit the antagonist's concluding name is Wolf. This may be a reference to The Fiddling Boy Who Cried Wolf fairy tale almost a young boy who lies to adults about a wolf coming in to attack the sheep and the dark the Wolf really did come to harm the sheep, he told the adults, but they didn't believe him thus relating to Jason Shepherd lying to other characters in his story such every bit his parents and is not believed at beginning when he finally is telling the truth.

When Marty calls Monty after he leaves the kids birthday party, Norman Bates' house (Psycho, Bates Motel) is in the background backside Monty.

John Cho was asked to practice his role with an emphasis. He turned downwardly the part, saying he didn't want young people thinking information technology was okay to laugh at someone'southward accent. In Cho'due south unabridged career, he has not once played a grapheme with a fake accent

Marty (Paul Giamatti) tells Jason (Frankie Muniz) that he volition call his dad and tell him he wrote "Big Fat Liar, Erin Brockovich (2000), and Saving Private Ryan (1998)." Giamatti played Sergeant Colina in Saving Private Ryan (1998) and had a cameo scene with Julia Roberts (whom won the University Award for Erin Brockovich (2000)) in My Best Friend'south Nuptials (1997).

When walking towards the studio, the pink gorilla suits worn by Bane and Toxicant Ivy from Batman & Robin (1997) are seen. We also run across the Skull Bikers from Batman Returns (1992) while Wolf chases Shepherd through the Universal Studio Lot.

When Marty jumps into the pool, not knowing information technology's been filled with blue dye, if you intermission at the right time, he turns blue earlier he even touches the pool. This shows that they merely slapped a blue filter on the camera during that moment.

When Jason (Frankie Muniz) and Kaylee (Amanda Bynes) enter the studio, the vocal playing in the background is the main theme from Jurassic Park (1993).

Paul Giamatti and Sandra Oh appeared in Sideways (2004).

Smash Mouth and Baha Men previously collaborated on Shrek (2001).

It is non known who played the in-movie trailer announcer and the actor is non credited in the end credits and to this twenty-four hours the actor'southward identity remains a mystery.

Marty's auto was a 2001 Jaguar XK8 [X100].

John Cho and Matthew Frauman appeared in American Pie 2 (2001).

When the security guards are escorting Jason off of Marty Wolfes studios, ane of them sarcastically says that he wrote the Nutty Professor (1996) which featured Eddie Murphy as the titular character, Paul Giamatti (Marty Wolfe) starred with Eddie Murphy four years earlier in, Dr. Dolittle (1998) in which Murphys character talks to animals.

In this motion-picture show, Paul Giamatti played a lying producer, and in Rock of Ages (2012), he played a lying agent.

Marty Wolf tells Jason that he'll tell his father he wrote Erin Brockovich (2000) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Much like the moving picture within the motion-picture show, both films were inspired by truthful stories. (Though some of the events of Saving Private Ryan (1998) are fictional, it was loosely inspired by a similar event during World War 2.) Another reason why Marty Wolf at to the lowest degree mentioned Saving Private Ryan (1998) is probably because he was in that movie before this one.

Smash Oral fissure and Baha Men previously collaborated in "Shrek."

At the altogether party, when Marty pulls Aaron up by his leg, his shirt slides down, revealing his abdomen.

Cameo

Jaleel White: As himself interim in Marty Wolf'southward latest moving picture. Wolf never does larn his name, condescendingly and erroneously referring to him as "Urkel", to which White gets angry, saying that "Urkel is a character I played when I was a child!" Jaleel White played Steve Urkel on Family unit Matters (1989), which brought him much success, but ultimately cursed him with typecasting, to the point that he one time said that if anyone ever saw him in Urkel's outfit again, to just shoot him and put him out of his misery.
