18	* InspirationForTheWork:
19	** [[https://www.cartoonbrew.com/interviews/bad-guys-pierre-perifel-video-interview-215441.html Director Pierre Perifel]] cited the art styles presented in various Japanese anime and manga for influencing the film's dynamic look. ''Anime/SherlockHound'' and ''Franchise/LupinIII'' (''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'') were specifically mentioned due to Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's contributions to them. Other works include ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'', ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', and ''Franchise/DragonBall''. He rationalized that this was due to his upbringing being around the time of the anime boom in France.
20	** Being a French native, Perifel cited European art influences as being equally important for the film. French cartoonist Benjamin Renner's work on ''WesternAnimation/TheBigBadFoxAndOtherTales'' and ''WesternAnimation/ErnestEtCelestine'' are noted as prime examples.
21	** Considering ''Bad Guys'' is a heist film, Perifel naturally mentioned ''Film/OceansEleven'', ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', and ''Film/PulpFiction'' as influences. The opening {{Oner}} in the diner especially pays homage to ''Pulp Fiction''.
22	* KidsMealToy: Carl's Jr. and Hardee's had a set of activity sheets in March 2022.
23	* LateExportForYou: Its Japan theatrical release date is October 7, 2022, nearly four months after the film was released on Blu-ray in North America.
24	* NovelizationFirst: The novel based on the film was released nearly two months before the film itself. Because the novel comes from an earlier draft of the film, some dialog and scenes are slightly different from the film. Notably, the Love Crater Meteorite is described as glowing pink, which was before the film's [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience color coding]] was finalized and the glow was changed to blue.
25	* NewbieBoom: The [=DreamWorks=] movie trailer brought more attention to the book series, and in fact many were unaware that it was a book series to start with.
26	* PlayingAgainstType:
27	** In the Japanese dub, and while not the first time he had voiced villains, this is one of the few times we hear Creator/KappeiYamaguchi, as Professor Marmalade, to voice the BigBad of the story, rather than the hero or at least one of the main villain's goons.
28	** In the Italian dub, Creator/DanielaCalo, who usually plays [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar reasonable]], [[WesternAnimation/BeeMovie gentle]] [[WesternAnimation/TheGrinch2018 mother/friend]] [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug figures]], plays the gruff, aggressive Misty Luggins.
29	* ReleaseDateChange:
30	** The movie was slated for September 17, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was eventually moved to April 15, 2022. It was then moved a week later, leaving April 22, 2022 as its final date.
31	** Just before its planned release date of March 24, 2022 in that country, [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Pictures]] joined an [[PersonaNonGrata economic boycott]] of Russia, leading to the releases of all Universal films, including ''The Bad Guys'', being delayed indefinitely there.
32	* ShortRunInPeru: The film was released in much of the world, including Israel and the Dominican Republic, on March 16, 2022. Australia got the film later on March 31 in the same year. The UK/Ireland officially got a release in April 1, though some theatres got an earlier release in March 26.
33	* SleeperHit: While the film started to attract a large number of viewers pre-release, it's popularity practically ''exploded'' to new heights once it finally hit theaters, breaking the box office and restoring fans' opinions on Dreamworks as a whole. Even to this day there is still fanart of the characters.
34	* StaffCreatedFanWork: [=ChibeTTo=] worked on the film as a supervising animator and character designer, responsible for notable chase and action sequences featured in the final film. They also drew a character sketch sheet about a What If character for fun: Mr. Wolf and Diane's [[https://x.com/chibetto64/status/1678163758760296448?s=20 spunky teenaged daughter]].
