Trivia
- Blow-Up, a 1966 English-language firm directed by Michelangelo Antonioni in which a photographer believes he may have witnessed a murder and unwittingly taken photographs of the killing, was an inspiration for Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. The filmmakers paid their homage by naming the park in which the murder occurs as "Antonioni Park".
- The names of the lead characters – Vinod Chopra and Sudhir Mishra – came from film directors Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Sudhir Mishra, who were assisting Kundan Shah in the movie. Sudhir Mishra co-wrote the script and assisted in directing the movie, while Vidhu Vinod Chopra was the production controller of the film and also acted in it.
- Vidhu Vinod Chopra played Dushasana in the Mahabharata play in the climax of the movie. He was also there as a photographer in the first half of the film, when a bunch of journalists were interviewing Tarneja, played by Pankaj Kapoor.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
