* FakeBrit: Gunther Glick, the so-called "British" journalist, has speech and thoughts riddled with Americanisms such as "gas" and "anchormen" (a real Brit would say "petrol" and "presenters" respectively); at one point he even likens himself to Dan Rather, who is almost unknown in Britain. (Again, if he were really British he would have likened himself to Creator/TrevorMcDonald, though there's a vague handwave about him hanging around American news media for too long.)

Added DiffLines:

* OneTakeWonder: Creator/EwanMcGregor suggested to Creator/RonHoward that he could do the sequence where the Camerlengo tells the Cardinals about the Illuminati entirely without breaking it into several segments, as he felt that he could pull it off, having known all of his lines. Howard agreed to his suggestion and proceeded to film it. The take was very good, much to the applause of everyone, that it was the only shot taken, and used in the final film.
* RealLifeRelative: Creator/RonHoward's father Rance Howard plays a Cardinal.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
