* [[Deleted Scene]]: Almost 20 minutes worth on the special edition DVD. Extended fight sequences, the love scene, some more motivational speeches all cut, but almost always stated to make the movie better, more understandable, drill Zack's point home and generally make the film more mature and enjoyable.
** The love scene with the High Roller is also [[The Reveal]] so look for that one.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: ''Seriously''. The studio wanted the film post-converted to 3D, but Snyder refused. [[Legend of the Guardians|He's done 3D before]], but he didn't film ''Sucker Punch'' for 3D, and he felt converting it would make an inferior film. What makes this especially odd is that he claimed not to know why he made such an odd film, saying ''That is basically my comment on the film as well. "Why are you making this movie? You need to make a movie more commercial. It shouldn't be so dark and weird."'' Which in an odd way drives home his point about the nature of the film. It's so personal and yet so universal it had to be made "For the art" of it.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The test screening of the film included a mild love scene {{spoiler|following Baby Doll getting knocked out by one of Blue's men while Sweet Pea escapes}} between Baby Doll and {{spoiler|the High Roller}} in his suite that is initiated by ''Baby Doll'' when he offers her freedom while in reality {{spoiler|she's getting lobotomized.}} The MPAA did not approve of it and wanted the scene cut down; Zack Snyder cut it down to the point that it looked like {{spoiler|the High Roller}} was taking advantage of Baby Doll, and the ultimately cut the scene altogether because that wasn't the message he wanted to give. However, the full uncut scene will be featured in the Director's Cut. In the original ending (that will not be included in the Director's Cut), {{spoiler|when the police shines his light on Baby Doll post-lobotomy, she starts singing "O-o-h Child," followed by the rest of the girls appearing, and they all sing it on stage before the curtains fall.}}
* [[Fake American]]: Emily Browning ("Baby Doll") and Abbie Cornish ("Sweet Pea") are both Aussies. Oscar Isaac ("Blue"), although born in Guatemala, doesn't really count as he was raised in Florida.
* [[Fake Nationality]]: American [[Carla Gugino]] playing the slavic Madam Gorski.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[A Series of Unfortunate Events|Violet Baudelaire]], [[High School Musical|Gabriella Montez]], [[
** "Help me [[The Right Stuff|Alan Shephard]], [[The Obi-Wan|you're my only hope!]]"
** "Hey! [[Watchmen (comics)|Young Rorschach]] is the kid getting on the bus! And he was the kid in the trench!" (That's Eli Snyder, the director's son).
** Mr. Draper, your four o'clock is here.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The Japanese dubbed version has some members from both [[To
** Babydoll [[Minako Kotobuki|is]] [[K-On!|Tsumugi Kotobuki]]
** Blondie [[Aki Toyosaki|is]] [[K-On!|Yui Hirasawa]] and [[To
** Rocket [[Haruka Tomatsu|is]] [[To
** Vera Gorski [[Rika Fukami|is]] [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Venus]]
* [[Shown Their Work]]: In this fantasy movie you will see better, more tactical use of firearms than in any Syfy Channel original movie about or including the military. Heck, it's also better than about 50% of other movies about the military (drops to 30% after 1985). The girls keep their rifles on their shoulders, roll in their steps rather than bouncing, and never cross lines of fire when clearing a room (and clearing the room they went from cover to cover, interlocking fields of fire). The firearms savvy troper will recognize EoTech holographic sites, historically accurate firearms (even the Samurai's [[BFG|20mm version minigun]]), and a suppressed M4. Even handling a semi-automatic firearm, Baby Doll only crosses her thumbs in back once, but with hands that tiny it's believable she didn't catch the Colt Hammer Bite (when the slide comes back in the cycling of the action and cleaves any flesh in its way).
