  • Yes, the movie's a comedy, but if Pascal Sauvage's plan to turn the U.K. into a giant prison were executed in real life, that would be a horrifying abuse of power. The video demonstration in the film is incredibly dystopian: Countryside destroyed to make way for endless stretches of prison walls and lookout towers, long-standing homes and landmarks destroyed to make room for prisons, etc. And that's not even counting the financial costs to the country if he undertook such a thing: While other countries would pay out the nose to send prisoners to the U.K., it would still cost a fortune to build all this, and tons of citizens would be displaced in the process. Yikes.
  • In a deleted scene, the death of Colonel Chevenix just seconds after the film reveals him to be a traitor - he's led into a gas chamber disguised as an elevator, which incinerates him. The next shot is Klaus Vendetta using a handheld vacuum to clean a small heap of ashes from the place where Chevenix stood.
