* PlayingAgainstType: You could make arguments for a lot of parts actors play in the movie. Seeing Tom Hanks playing characters as sleazy, or downright villainous, as [[{{Slimeball}} the Hotel Manager]], [[DeadlyDoctor Dr. Henry Goose]] and [[AxCrazy Dermot Hoggins]] is a delightful surprise. Hugh Grant plays both a CorruptCorporateExecutive and a ''cannibal tribesman''.

* ShoutOut: Many and varied, since Mitchell writes in just about every genre going. Each genre is more or less explicitly compared to what inspired it:
** In the film, Cavendish compares Knuckle Sandwich to Moby Dick, an attempt to pacify Dermot about the former's lagging sales.
** In one story, ''The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish'', the protagonist quotes [[spoiler:''Film/SoylentGreen'', which becomes horribly relevant in the next story]].
** The name of one story's title character, Luisa Rey, is an apparent [[ShoutOut reference]] to the book ''The Bridge of San Luis Rey'' by Thornton Wilder.
** Sonmi~[[Literature/{{Fahrenheit451}} 451]]'s number.
** Fabricants? Disposable clones employed for inhuman tasks without regard for their dignity? Sounds like [[BladeRunner Replicants]].
** Sonmi mentions reading the works of "optimists" Huxley and Orwell. This is a reference to Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, best remembered for their respective dystopian novels ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'' and ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]''
