!!Graphic Novel
* BonusMaterial: Part of the experience of reading ''From Hell'' is going through the two appendices, one being an in-depth explanation of themes and scenes, the other being the ''Dance of The Gull Catchers'', a brief history of Ripperology.
* InspirationForTheWork: The book was partly inspired by the title of ''Literature/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'', in that it explores the notion that to solve a crime holistically, one would need to solve the entire society in which it occurred.

!! Film
* CaliforniaDoubling: Prague doubled for VictorianLondon.
* DisownedAdaptation: Creator/AlanMoore completely washed his hands of the film, knowing that it was different from his book, which it was. [[Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen This wouldn't be]] [[Film/VForVendetta the last time]] [[Film/{{Watchmen}} he did this]].
* DoublingForLondon: Prague, using backlot sets rather than city streets.
* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: The film was announced in 1998 and took a full three years from development, pre-production to post-production and finally its October 2001 release date to be theatrically released.
* FakeBrit:
** Creator/JohnnyDepp, using the same accent that he would later use as [[Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeney Todd]].
** Also, Creator/HeatherGraham, with a less convincing accent. Her character is actually supposed to be Irish, but speaks with an English accent.
* MissingTrailerScene: The line "Jack the Ripper's not finished", was included in several previews, is not in the film itself.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The Hughes Brothers originally wanted Creator/DanielDayLewis to play Inspector Abbeline. When that fell through, they interviewed Creator/SeanConnery, Creator/AnthonyHopkins, Creator/JudeLaw and Creator/BradPitt before settling on Creator/JohnnyDepp.
** Creator/MelGibson was originally considered to direct.
** Creator/NigelHawthorne was originally cast as William Gull, but dropped out due to illness.
