Trivia: If you thought you recognized "Donny" (clerk at camera store) but couldn't place him, he played the blond-haired kid on "7th Heaven" and was in "Little Secrets" (2002). David Gallagher (born in 1985) looked a lot different playing an adult role.

Trivia: When Donny was driving Joe and friends to the school, he said he could "get back into disco." The events in "Super 8" happened around the first week of June 1979. The "death of disco" is dated by many to July 12, 1979 ("Disco Demolition Night") - the month after the "Get the Knack" album (with "My Sharona" on side 2) was released.

Trivia: Ryan Lee (Cary) was wearing braces when he auditioned for "Super 8", but had to wear fake braces during filming so the braces fit the time period (1979 - when braces were bigger/bulkier).

Trivia: The song Joe and his friends were singing while waiting for Alice to pick them up, "My Sharona", was the #1 song in 1979. The song was the first song on Side #2 of the Knacks' "Get The Knack." If the Lillian public schools' last day was the last week of May or the first week of June, the boys were singing "My Sharona" before the album was released on June 11, 1979.
