| 1 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: A ridiculous example. General Dmitri was played by a Russian actor, and his voice was dubbed ''in Russian release'' (by a different actor, no less) because it contained a few (possibly improvised) swear words. |
| 2 | * CaliforniaDoubling: Cape Town, South Africa doubles for Afghanistan, Bolivia, and Sierra Leone. |
| 3 | * FakeNationality: Most of the actors, obviously. Nicholas Cage and Jared Leto are clearly [[FakeRussian not Ukrainian]], although they do make an effort at getting the accent right when speaking the language. |
| 4 | * RealLifeRelative: The Ukrainian mechanic who is able to quickly disarm a Mi-24 attack helicopter is played by Nicholas Cage's son, Weston. Thus making Yuri's "Get off there, son, before you hurt yourself!" a bit of a meta-reference. Similarly, Yuri's young son Nicky is played by director Andrew Niccol's son Jack. |
| 5 | * ShoutOut: The sequence where Yuri rents out an entire seaside hotel to impress his love interest is a nod to ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'', a film with similar themes. |
