- Creator Killer: Narrowly averted. Bleeder and Fear X box-office bombs almost killed Refn's career to the point of becoming a Riches to Rags director and being 1 million dollars in debt. He got better with Pusher 2.
- Creator's Oddball: Refn's pretty much famous for his grim, surreal, gory and stylish Author Tract. And he directed in 2007 an episode for the lighthearted series Marple entitled Nemesis.
- Money, Dear Boy: The reason why Refn directed the Marple Nemesis episode is because he needed money.
- What Could Have Been:
- He wanted to direct Wonder Woman (2017) at one point with Christina Hendricks in the lead. He's still quite eager to direct a superhero film, naming Batgirl as a character he'd really like to do.
- He was handpicked by Channing Tatum to direct Magic Mike, but backed out due to scheduling conflicts.
