Movie Goof (continuity error): When Bobby Darin can't start his car after the fight with his wife the car has only one headlight on. When he takes a golf club right after that and starts smashing the car, both sets of headlights are on, including the brights.
The James Toback draft which followed an earlier draft by Paul Attanasio concentrated on Sandra Dee's alcoholism and childhood molestation by her stepfather. This draft was then given to Lorenzo Carcaterra. His draft, the last before Warner Bros. and Barry Levinson left the project, was 164 pages long.
Movie Goof (factual errors): The film omits several key people (including Darin's second wife), and some key events (including how he learned the truth about his background) did not take place as shown.
As research for his role of pop crooner Bobby Darin, Kevin Spacey attended several of Michael Bublé's performances.
