- AnecdotesDespite being portrayed in an Oscar-nominated movie, Larry Flynt was refused an invitation to the 1997 Academy Awards, so Woody Harrelson brought Flynt to the award shows as his "plus one".
- GaffesIn the oral arguments before the Supreme Court, there are nine Justices. Those arguments took place on 2 December 1987, when there were only 8 Justices on the Supreme Court bench: Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. had retired on June 26, 1987 and his successor, Justice Anthony Kennedy, would be sworn in on 18 February, 1988. Kennedy took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Larry Flynt: Who is this magazine for, anyway? I mean, you know, it's like if you don't make twenty thousand plus a year - you don't jerk off. Seven million people buyin' it, and nobody's readin' it. Gentlemen, "Playboy" is mocking you.
- Versions alternativesThe film was cut by 18 minutes to remove sex references, pornographic images, drugs, and language for television to grant a 'U' (unrestricted) certificate by the CBFC in Chennai in 2007. The uncut version is rated 'A' (adults) in Mumbai for video release in 2009.

Commentaire à la une
Oscar Winning Milos Forman's The People Vs. Larry Flynt is a fascinating (if not too trashy) look at how without the first amendment, people like Flynt would not exist. We see an expose on the man, myth and legend of master porno publisher Larry Flynt (played to damn close perfection by Oscar nominated Woody Harrelson) who releases Hustler (in my opinion the best porno mag ever, but that's just me) and gets severe backlash from censors, church people and just people in general. But, we see his struggle to fight back at any cost (even his legs) to send a message- just because you don't like doesn't mean you can't let me publish what I want. Forman directs this pumped drama with 5-star performances from Harrelson, Love (as the tragedy queen girlfriend) and Especially Norton (as the suffering yet compelling lawyer). Never ashamed and always On the edge, this film has a place not only in film history, but in Hustler magazine's also. The real Flynt appears as a Cinncinatti judge and Norm MacDonald appears as a reporter. A+
