* DevelopmentHell: [[JustForPun Hahaha... no, but seriously]]. Kevin Smith started writing this movie before he wrote ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', but after listening to a radio interview with Creator/RobertRodriguez about the importance of writing around what was readily available, Smith wisely decided that it was too ambitious and started writing a film about the convenience store he worked in instead. He then considered doing this as his follow up, but felt that he still needed more experience as a filmmaker first.

* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Due to the subject matter the rights to the film remained with Harvey Weinstein personally. [[WeUsedToBeFriends After a personal and professional falling out]] Smith discovered this film was the only one he had little control over, Weinstein apparently called him talking about a sequel but it was a smoke screen trying to figure out who had been talking to the press before the Weinstein scandal broke (when it did, Smith forfeited all royalties from the films he did with Weinstein to charity). Smith would comment "My movie about angels is owned by the devil."

* ChannelHop: Creator/{{Disney}}, who owned Creator/MiramaxFilms at the time, got cold feet when the Catholic League began protesting the film and forced the Weinstein brothers to buy the film themselves. The Weinsteins then licensed it to Creator/{{Lionsgate}} for theatrical distribution and [[Creator/ColumbiaPictures Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]] for home video (Lionsgate was, at the time, a relatively-obscure, primarily Canadian film company with an even smaller home entertainment arm; they wouldn't acquire Artisan Entertainment for a couple more years). The result was ''Dogma'' becoming Lionsgate's highest-grossing film until the ''Film/{{Saw}}'' series, and one of the highest-grossing independent films ever.

* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: Because the distribution deals surrounding the film were made before digital and streaming became prevalent, such a release was never negotiated. The rights are owned by now-disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. Almost a week before everything was exposed Weinstein, had actually contacted Smith about finally getting it onto streaming; but obviously, after everything broke, that not only ended up not happening, but Smith suspected Weinstein had no serious intention of doing so, and only used it as an excuse to call him because he wanted to see if Smith was aware of the allegations and had talked to any news outlets about it.

* CreatorBacklash: Mocked; when a group of people announced they were going to picket his film at a theater near where he lives, Creator/KevinSmith himself showed up and picketed the film too with a "Dogma is dogshit" banner. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QepgKVOVfZ8 He ends up being filmed by a news crew as a protester, and the reporter recognized him.]] The funniest part was that the protest was slated to be a group of 500 people, of which there were... five. He went on to say that he was most disappointed that nobody had even gone to the effort of making a sign as nice and detailed as his.
