• During the shoot, the pranksters repeatedly dumped Perry Caravello into a dumpster filled with manure and had him drink a milkshake of coffee, Chinese food, raw egg, pizza and beer over multiple takes, leaving him with a case of severe diarrhea.
• In 2007 Perry Caravello sued Johnny Knoxville, claiming Knoxville, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla promised him ten million dollars to put his genitals in a mousetrap live on The Adam Carolla Morning Show as a stunt, and for payment for his performance; he dropped the suit in June 2008.
• Physician and broadcaster Drew Pinsky said in a 2013 podcast that a Comedy Central executive told him the channel stopped re-airing the film over legal concerns related to the Americans with Disabilities Act, an account that has not been independently corroborated.
• A 2013 crowd funding campaign for a Windy City Heat sequel aimed to raise $500,000 over 50 days and brought in $16,220, just 3.2% of the target.
• At least fifteen cameras, some of them hidden, followed Perry Caravello throughout the shoot, and he was told from the start that the recording was for the fake film's DVD extras.
• Comedian Don Barris and Tony Barbieri, who plays the perpetually stoned Walter "Mole" Molinski, have pranked Perry Caravello since 1995, a long-running effort called The Perry Project that gets a title card at the start of the film.
• SPOILER

  The prank is never revealed to Caravello on screen; after production he was told the 'real' Windy City Heat had been scrapped due to production issues and that the behind-the-scenes footage would be repurposed into its own film.
