American Pie: A Primeira Vez é Inesquecível

When submitting his script to studios, screenwriter Adam Herz titled it "Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy That Can Be Made For Under $10 Million Which Studio Readers Will Likely Hate But I Think You Will Love." It was later changed to "East Grand Rapids High," then "East Great Falls High," then "Great Falls" and finally, "American Pie."

In Jim's room, it can be seen that there is no ceiling.

Travis Barker is credited as Scott Raynor.

The film was originally rated NC-17 by the MPAA. It took three resubmissions to obtain an R-rating. A few scenes had to be edited or trimmed to achieve the rating:

• The main reason for the MPAA's NC-17 decision was the infamous pie scene. In the original cut, Jim did four thrusts into the pastry - too many for an R. The filmmakers and the MPAA wound up settling on two thrusts.
• Dirtier dialogue during the opening scrambled porno. The line "ride me like a pony" was originally "blow your wad on my tits". Also, the line "spank my hairy ass" was originally "play with my hairy balls".
• After Stifler swigs ejaculate-laced beer, Kevin asks him, "Hey Stifler, how's the pale-ale"?. The line was originally, "Hey Stifler, how's the man-chowder"?, but the ratings board objected to 'man-chowder' and it had to be replaced.
• When Nadia is seen masturbating to Jim's porn magazine, the filmmakers had to cut the sight of her placing her hand down her panties by a couple of seconds.
• The scene where Kevin goes down on Vicky was a little too long. Some of her moaning had to be cut.
