Trivia
In an interview, Jonah Hill admitted that he was afraid audiences would accuse him of being homophobic because of the repeated use of words like f****t throughout the film and considered shooting a scene where the kids debate over whether they should be using that kind of language. He showed the scene to producer Scott Rudin, himself a gay man, who asked "Would you guys have had this conversation back then?" When Jonah said no, Rudin said that the scene would be "more offensive to put that in the movie than to show it how it actually was."

Goofs
The Sony Handycam used by Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin) is a CCD-TRV16 camcorder. This model was released in 1998 and if this film precisely took place either in '93, '94, '95 or '96 (hence the Mid90s title); this would mean this camcorder model is anachronistic being manufactured as early as 1998.

Quotes
Ray: A lot of the time we feel that our lives the worst, but I think that if you looked in anybody else's closet, you wouldn't trade your shit for their shit. So let's go.

Crazy credits
The A24 logo at the start of the film is made of skateboards.

Like the 90's if you were there

This movie was the 90's skate scene to a T. The music, a mix of punk, indie and hip hop, the clothes, baggy pants and 2XL tees, drugs, underage drinking, and of course street skating. If you were there, you know, if not you can experience a time that will never come back. Skating is not the outlaw thing you do to escape your sh!tty life anymore, it's city built skateparks and X games. That's why this film hits hard. Everyone who was around then had their crew and every crew had the jokester, the pro, the poor kid and the hanger-on who wasn't really good but a nice dude so you kept him. That's what Stevie is in this film and that's why you feel for him. Jonah Hill has made an authentic time capsule into the mid 90's that feels real and not forced.
