History Trivia / DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves

* PromotedFanboy: Michelle Rodriguez has spoken about frequently playing ''D&D''.

* PlayingAgainstType: It's a surprise to see Creator/BradleyCooper cameoing as Holga's ex-husband, playing the former in a TinyGuyHugeGirl pairing.
* PlayingWithCharacterType: The film plays with the normal Michelle Rodriguez casting type as the more masculine ActionGirl in comparison to a more feminine lady that [[VasquezAlwaysDies normally dies]]. [[spoiler:She does die and is the only protagonist to die, but Edgin then opts to resurrect her instead of his deceased wife]].

** Xenk's role was originally meant for famous ''D&D'' character Drizzt, but he had to be replaced due to an "unnamed controversy". As a result, the large city in Underdark was originally intended to be Menzoberranzan, Drizzt's hometown.

** Creator/JoeMangianello was attached for a long time to star, as was Creator/AnselElgort.

* PosthumousCredit: Brian Goldner, the late CEO of Creator/{{Hasbro}}, is credited as a producer on the film. The movie was released almost a year and a half after his death.

* ColbertBump: Themberchaud, the massive red dragon of the Northdark, got a huge wave of attention for his comically obese physique despite having existed in Dungeons and Dragons since 2nd edition.

* FakeBrit: While obviously there's no Britain in D&D, American actor Creator/JusticeSmith is the only cast member not using his natural accent, to the point that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNtdpNYToFQ&t=7m29s even Hugh Grant]] thought he was a fellow Brit at first.
* HostilityOnTheSet: Minor example. Hugh Grant confessed to losing his temper at a woman in his eyeline whom he assumed was a studio executive "who should have known better", not realising she was the chaperone for Chloe Coleman. He did a lot of "grovelling" to apologise.

* FakeBrit: While clearly there's no Britain in D&D, Creator/JusticeSmith is the only actor not using his natural accent (and even sounds inspired by Creator/TomSturridge as ''Series/TheSandman2022''). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNtdpNYToFQ&t=7m29s Apparently he fooled Hugh Grant.]]

* GeniusBonus: {{Subverted}} as a fake-out to the audience. Edgin assures Holga that he's sure they'll be released because Jarnathan, one of the chancellors on the parole board, is an [[BirdPeople aaracokra]]. In the lore of the TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms, the aaracokra are a free-spirited people who abhor confinement and imprisonment, so a viewer with knowledge of the setting might think that Ed intends to play on Jarnathan's natural sympathies. [[spoiler: Instead, his plan is to grab Jarnathan and leap out the window, [[DieOrFly forcing him]] to fly them to safety.]]
