Joan Jett was irritated with the fact that Kristen Stewart was constantly in leather pants. She stated in the DVD commentary that jeans would have been more accurate because she never wore leather pants. There are, however, many pictures of Joan Jett from this period in which she is wearing leather pants.
In the DVD commentary, Joan Jett states it was the Canadian rock band Rush that bullied The Runaways from having a sound check.
Dakota Fanning borrowed a belt from Cherie Currie to wear in the film. Joan Jett recognized the belt in the DVD commentary and stated Cherie wore it constantly while touring with The Runaways.
A character mentions Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley's divorce as a sign of the decline of rock and roll. Cherie's sister Marie is played in this movie by Riley Keough, who is the granddaughter of that short union.
The scene where Kim Fowley brings the boys into the rehearsal trailer to heckle the girls and throw objects at them was 100% accurate. Joan Jett stated that Kim Fowley had to do the "heckler's drills" with the group for a significant amount of time because she was too shy on stage.
"Kim Fowley: Dog shit! Urine-stained dog shit! Rock 'n' roll is a blood sport, a sport of men. It's for the people in the dark, the death cats, the masturbators, the outcasts who have no voice, no way of saying "I hate this world, my father's a faggot, fuck you, fuck authority - I want an orgasm!" Now, growl! Moan! This ain't women's lib, kiddies - this is women's libido! I wanna see the scratch marks down their fucking backs! Now, do it again. Again. Like your boyfriend just fucked your sister in your parent's bed. Like you want a fucking orgasm!"
"Kim Fowley: Joan! This is Joan Jett. And you are? Cherie Currie: Cherie. Kim Fowley: Cherie? Cherie what? Cherie Currie: Currie. Kim Fowley: Cherie Currie. That's your real name? Tell me, Cherie Currie, can you sing or play a musical instrument? Cherie Currie: Yeah. Yeah, I can sing. I won a talent show lip-syncing David Bowie. Why? Kim Fowley: "Why?" ask the maybe-great Cherie Currie. Read my lips. We love your look. We're choosing you to become a part of rock 'n' roll history. Do you want to be in the band? Cherie Currie: Are you kidding? Kim Fowley: How old are you? Cherie Currie: Fifteen. Kim Fowley: Jail fucking bait. Jack fucking pot!"
