* FakeAmerican: Creator/KimCattrall was born in England and raised in Canada. As of August 2020, this is averted as she is a naturalized American citizen.

** It was rumoured that Creator/SarahJessicaParker and Creator/KimCattrall didn't get on. Apparently, the two would ignore each other any time they weren’t filming scenes for the show. Since the franchise had ended, both have chalked up any tension between them to exhausting days on set. However, in February 2018, it became clear that the feud between them was quite real. Catrall lashed out at Parker in an Instagram post after Catrall's brother died, saying that Parker was not her family nor her friend, putting a kibosh on any chances about a third film with her involvement.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The book ''Love Letters of Great Men'' that was central to the plot didn't actually exist, it was a prop created for the film. An official tie-in version was published shortly after the film premiered, and a few copycat editions from other publishers followed.

** Had the third movie been made, it would've revolved around Carrie coming to terms with Big's death from a heart attack.

* FakeRussian: Lampshaded slightly with Carrie's inability to pronounce Aleksandr's name. He finally says "Call me 'Bob.'"

** An unknown Creator/PedroPascal lost an audition for the show, [[https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.economiaynegocios.cl/noticias/noticias.asp%3Fid%3D533744&prev=search&pto=aue according]] to his sister Javiera Balmaceda. Fortunately, the next decade would give an older Pascal [[Series/GameOfThrones another opportunity]] to win HBO viewers' hearts.

* TooSoon: One of the reasons critics make for the second movie failing was the group going on an expensive overseas vacation in the midst of [[http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Recession_in_the_United_States a crippling recession]] coming off as insensitive and insulting.

** The second movie's subplot about Charlotte's insecurity regarding her young, braless nanny [[RefittedForSequel was originally written for the first film]], but ended up being cut out during script revisions.

** According to a 2008 book proposal shopped by Clifford Streit, the real-life inspiration for the show’s character Stanford Blatch, tensions on set began because Cattrall was arguably the biggest name among the cast in the beginning; she was a bonafide movie star, having headlined ''Film/{{Mannequin}}'' and ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'', and "a natural comedienne, and a scene-stealer in the best possible sense — the camera went right to her." This was, it seems, a problem, given that Sarah Jessica Parker was playing the show's heroine, Carrie.
** A clique began to form, leaving Cattrall out in the cold. Parker and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda), who'd known each other since their days as preteen actresses on Broadway, gravitated toward each other and pretty quickly included co-star Kristin Davis (Charlotte) in their group. For the first couple of years, Cattrall had a real ally on set in the form of series creator and producer Darren Star. But when he left after the second season and was replaced by Parker's friend Michael Patrick King, Cattrall was completely isolated.

** Had the third movie been made, it would've revolved around Carrie coming to terms with Big's death.

** Creator/AlecBaldwin was originally meant to guest star in "Escape from New York", but backed out. Creator/WarrenBeatty and Creator/GeorgeClooney were considered to replace him before Creator/MatthewMcConnaughey was cast.
