* ActorAllusion: The part of Dogberry was written for William Kempe, the actor who played Bottom in ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', which adds a whole new level to the "I am an ass" rant.
* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: The 2011 RSC production starred Creator/DavidTennant [[VitriolicBestBuds and]] Creator/CatherineTate as [[SlapSlapKiss Benedick and Beatrice]]. As always seems to happen when Tate is playing opposite Tennant, SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct ensued.

Meanwhile, [[Film/HarryPotter Professor]] [[Characters/HarryPotter Umbridge]] is mistaken for Hero. And in what awesome world did [[Series/MonarchOfTheGlen Hector MacDonald]] become brothers with Creator/BrianBlessed?

** The part of Dogberry was written for William Kempe, the actor who played Bottom in ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', which adds a whole new level to the "I am an ass" rant.

rant.



** The 2012 film, being directed by Creator/JossWhedon...
*** [[Series/{{Angel}} Fred and Wesley]] are Beatrice and Benedick. [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Caleb and Andrew]] also turn up as Dogberry and Verges.
*** Its [[Series/{{Firefly}} Captain Tightpants Dogberry, and Dr Simon Don John]].
*** Or Beatrice and Benedick are [[Series/{{Dollhouse}} Dr Claire Saunders and Senator Daniel Perrin]], while Topher is Claudio and Mr Dominic is Don Pedro.
*** [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Phil Coulson]] is Leonato, and the waitress is Margaret. Hero was also in the restaurant.
*** [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Captain Hammer]] is Dogberry, one of his groupies sings at the party and another groupie is a guest.
*** [[Film/TheCabinInTheWoods Lin]] is Beatrice, Marty is Claudio and Ronald the Intern is Verges. Marty lost all of his genre savviness.
*** And a caboodle of Creator/MutantEnemy staff along with friends and family as extras.



* NoBudget: Joss Whedon's adaptation, the first of what Whedon hopes will be many "micro-budget" films from his new production company.



** Emma Thompson's mother, Phyllida Law, plays Beatrice's maid, Ursula.
* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: As noted in Joss Whedon's commentary, Amy Acker(Beatrice) and Jillian Morgese(Hero) do look like they could be cousins.
* ThrowItIn: The Whedon film experienced a fluke fog bank when it came time to shoot the funeral, resulting in a sequence that looks straight out of an Ingmar Bergman film.
* TroubledProduction: A mild example, but the DVD commentary of the Whedon adaptation gives a few instances of trouble for them. They mention having trouble with barking dogs and motorcycles and, at one point, were actually shut down by the police for filming a movie without a license. Whedon just kept filming the movie in secret, incredibly worried they'd be caught again.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the Whedon film, [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Giles]] was originally going to be Leonato, but he unfortunately couldn't make the time to film it. At least we got Phil Coulson taking his place.
