* HilariousInHindsight:
** This isn't the first time Iain De Caestecker has ended up fighting [[Series/AgentsOfShield weird alt-history Nazis.]]
** Creator/WyattRussell being in this film counts in light of his casting as ComicBook/USAgent in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''. For starters, he was in the running to play ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger The First Avenger]]'' before Creator/ChrisEvans was cast. Here, he plays a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII soldier fighting [[StupidJetpackHitler sci-fi Nazis]] just like Steve Rogers, albeit a BadassNormal one. Furthermore, during the climax, [[spoiler:his character Ford injects himself with what is essentially a SuperSerum to fight Wafner and hold him off to let the others escape. U.S. Agent is a literal SuperSoldier, albeit [[AntiHeroSubstitute one]] that doesn't quite reach the heights of [[TheCape Steve Rogers]].]] One gets the impression that ''Overlord'' ended up being his second casting audition.
** The fact that this movie shared the same title with the popular light-novel/anime series ''Literature/Overlord2012'' has developed a small following within the anime fandom. Then later it is announced that the film's director Julius Avery is currently attached to directing Hollywood's spin on the manga series ''{{Manga/Gantz}}''.

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.

* EvilIsCool: As noted in AsskickingEqualsAuthority, Wafner gets quite a bit of this. See more in that trope for details.

Added DiffLines:
* OneSceneWonder: Sergeant Rensin dies at the end of the opening scene but makes quite an impression for being a fearless CigarChomper and AFatherToHisMen, and for being played by Creator/BokeemWoodbine.
Added DiffLines:
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Seeing an all-black unit on a special mission and working with white soldiers with specialized skills for the mission when both groups had no experience with fighting in integrated units could have allowed for some good CharacterDevelopment while also respecting historical buffalo soldiers. Instead, their working together during the time period is teated as normal for the sake of PoliticallyCorrectHistory.
