| 1 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $75 million. Box office, $20,374,484 (domestic), $132,274,484 (worldwide). Creator/MillaJovovich ripped into Creator/SummitEntertainment on Twitter over their marketing of the film after its lackluster opening weekend. It did its best business in Japan and Germany. |
| 2 | * CreatorCouple: Creator/PaulWSAnderson directs. His wife Milla Jovovich plays Milady. |
| 3 | * FakeNationality: Despite being set in France, there are no French actors in the film. |
| 4 | * InternationalCoproduction: A co-production between the UK, Germany and France, with talent from all three countries (along with American Creator/LoganLerman in the lead). |
| 5 | * PlayingAgainstType: Creator/OrlandoBloom is most famous for playing two heroes in fantasy - Legolas in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and Will Turner in ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. Even in ''{{Film/Troy}}'' where his character is less than wholesome, he's still somewhat sympathetic. Here he plays the villainous Duke of Buckingham. |
| 6 | * PlayingWithCharacterType: Creator/MillaJovovich as the FemmeFatale Milady de Winter is different. However in this, Milady gets {{Xenafication}} to become an ActionGirl - so it's not quite that different. |
| 7 | * ProductionPosse: Creator/MadsMikkelsen, Creator/RayStevenson and Creator/TilSchweiger all starred in 2004's ''Film/{{King Arthur|2004}}''. |
| 8 | * StillbornFranchise: The film ends on a cliffhanger, implying that the battle has only just begun. However the film itself wasn't considered enough of a success (critically or financially) to warrant a follow-up. A rift between Creator/MillaJovovich and the studio after the films release over marketing didn't help matters either. |
