• Many of the wedding guests are relatives of director Gurinder Chadha and played the scene as if it was a real wedding.
• Jess wears number 7 for the Hounslow Harriers, the same number David Beckham wears for England and once wore for Manchester United.
• Parminder Nagra was worried that the scar on her leg would prevent her from getting the role of Jess. Instead, the scar – and the story behind it – were worked into the script.
• Although football-star David Beckham and the term “bend” are well-known throughout most of the world, they are almost unknown in the U.S. As such, when the time came for the film’s U.S release, 20th Century Fox marketing suggested changing the title to "Move it like Mia", to US football star Mia Hamm. Director Gurinder Chadha didn't agree to the name change and the film was released with its original title.
• Anupam Kher (Mr. Bhamra) is one of the superstars of Hindi cinema (Bollywood) and played in nearly 150 films during the last 20 years.
• Melanie C wanted her song "Independence Day" to be used in the film but the lyrics didn’t work so she rewrote them so the song could be used.
• In the original script, Jess and Jules were in love with each other, not with Joe.
