• Disowned Adaptation: Moore specifically requested that his name be removed from the film's production after Joel Silver (the producer) lied about Moore's enthusiasm for the shooting script.
• Hey It's That Guy: Peter Mannion has a nightly slot on BTN! D.I. Lestrade is a policeman! The other Inspector Lestrade is the head of the Ear! Pius Thicknesse is the head of the Eye! Queen Amidala is an anarchist!
