All of the comic fan characters have double consonant names: Nick Norton, Jared James, Ray Reed, Tony Taira, Chris Cole, reminiscent of several alliterative character names in Superman comics.

The theme song for Bite Me, Fanboy was written and performed by Ookla the Mok, a fan-favorite band, specifically for the movie.

Like the title character, writer/director Mat Nastos has an obsession with Green Lantern. The power battery sequence is supposedly taken from the director's personal experience.

The film features a number of references to Elfquest, including one full scene devoted to its fanbase. Writer/director Mat Nastos drew for the comic back in the mid 1990s.
