History Trivia / NaziZombies

* ActorAllusion:
** Creator/SarahMichelleGellar plays a character in "Call of the Dead". Now her looks, personality, and fighting style... where have I seen that before? [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Oh, right]].
** If she runs out of ammo, she might comment on being a black belt in taekwondo. Which is actually true.
** Creator/DannyTrejo wields... uh... Film/{{Machete}}s.
-->'''''"YOU JUST FUCKED WITH THE WRONG MEXICAN!"'''''
** Creator/RobertEnglund in the trailer.
-->''"This must be a [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet nightmare!]]"''
* AllStarCast:
** Call of the Dead features the voices and likenesses of Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Michael Rooker.
** Mob of the Dead features the voices and likenesses of Ray Liotta, Michael Madsen, Joe Pantoliano and Chazz Palminteri.
** Shadows of Evil features the voices and likeness of Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonaugh and Ron Perlman.
* PlayingAgainstType:
** Creator/NolanNorth, known for playing generally affable [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed good]] [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} guys]], voices an insane evil Nazi scientist.
** And in Mob of the Dead, he plays as Brutus, a scary, powerful and not really nice prison guard, that constantly wants to hurt the mobsters.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** In ''Der Reise'', there was originally going to be a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41u7nN-B_qQ theme tune for the Hellhounds]] that was DummiedOut.
** Later averted, actually. ''Kino der Toten'' was the final ''World At War'' Zombies map, but by that time, ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare2'' was very close to release.
* WordOfGod:
** Actually pretty averted. The creators usually don't have a lot to say if anything at all on the story.
** Kevin Sherwood did once imply an analysis of ''We All Fall Down'' was pretty spot-on; meaning the song was in fact from Maxis' perspective, retelling his conflict with Richtofen and his suspicions about a hidden evil behind the scenes of it all.
