* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill acquired the false impression that the film was a straightfoward parody of the Colonel Blimp character, and was so annoyed that he attempted to shut down production, thinking that the film could damage morale. He never actually watched it, and so never learned that in fact it was a tribute to the sort of virtues that he liked to think he embodied (apart from his fervent imperialism, which is not something that Candy appears to be invested in).

** On a more conventional note, the film's American release totally shortened the film and butchered the complex flashback structure, by making it into chronological order. It wasn't until 1980 that the film played in its original form in America. It was also re-titled as ''The Adventures of Colonel Blimp''. Worse, some American prints [[WhatAnIdiot were released in black-and-white]].
