* Not shown in the film, but the Epps couple were eventually punished for their crimes: Patsey was rescued by Union troops during the Civil War, they lost all their money and influence after the war ended, and Yellow fever carried them both off in 1867. Northup wasn't kidding when he said that God would take vengeance upon these vile anthropoids.

* When the sheriff and Mr. Parker come to retrieve Solomon, [[VillainousBreakdown Epps]] tries to stop them by claiming that he's his property. The two bluntly tells him that he's not above the law and that they have the papers showing that "Platt" is a freedman and that they could bankrupt his "business" easily.

* After Solomon's first attempt to get a letter out results in betrayal, he bluffs his way out of the situation with no time to prepare, his faith in humanity having just taken another blow, all with Epps right in his face.
** Oh, and doing so while Epps ''has a shank pointed at his gut.''
