** Mariam Margolyes appears in one of the prologues as the mother who accidentally shoots her son in convoluted circumstances. She was actually annoyed that her appearance was pared down to such brevity as her career as a Hollywood character actress had recently taken off, and she asked not to be credited at all.

** Also the opening segment depicts the Greenberry Hill scenario wrong: The story may have appearded in a 1911 newspaper article (as told so by the narrator), but the actual murder of Sir Godfrey and the subsequent executions of the delinquents happened back in 1678. Yet the presentation with a fake newsreel strongly implies that the events took place in or around 1911.

* AbortedArc: The murder of the guy that Officer Jim finds in the closet is forgotten after a while. (In the script, the murderer is "The Worm", son of the belligerent obese woman and father to the little rapping boy. Creator/OrlandoJones played the part, but those scenes were cut from a movie that was already three hours long, and Jones appears only as the mysterious hooded figure that Jim chases in the rain.)
