* UnderageCasting: In a rare version of this trope, K Callan was in her early eighties during filming--and ''still'' too young to play Great Nana. The character's age is [[VagueAge never specified]], but given that Harlan is celebrating his 85th birthday, Great Nana is at least a century old (by biological standards alone) and likely even older that that.

** The Dartmoor level in ''VideoGame/Hitman3'' is named "Thornbridge Manor" (which sounds rather similar to the "Thrombey Estate" in the film), a cricket ball can be seen outside of the window of Fernsby's office (referencing the cricket ball Ransom throws out of Harlans' office in this film), while the whole level is one massive LockedRoomMystery the player is able to solve, with the murder of Zachary Carlisle being the focus, and even has [[spoiler:a secret passage in the room]] like in the film.

** Benoit Blanc’s Southern accent in the script is described as “subtle”, in contrast to the final film where his accent is so extreme other characters mock it.

** Both Ana de Armas and Marlene Forte (who plays Marta's mother) are originally Cuban, pretty much the only place in the Spanish-speaking world their characters can't be originally from.[[note]]Due to the immigration policies at the time, if Marta's mother were Cuban, she would've gotten permanent residency within a year upon arrival on the US. Rian had a misconception that this was not currently the case, the actresses had to explain to him that Cubans still had special immigration privileges in the US. It was eventually decided that the country of origin was unimportant, and the actresses deliberately spoke in a Spanish that is not Cuban sounding. They actively tried to make it hard to pin down their exact country of origin from the accent[[/note]].

** On Instagram in April 2021, Jamie Lee Curtis reveals the fates of the Thrombrey family post-movie. As per her words:
---> “To clear up any rumors, the Thromby family is in family counseling and the therapist suggested they stay away from Benoit Blanc in the future. Linda was fine as she kicked her loafer wearing prick of a husband, sorry @donjohnson to the curb. The rest of them are hustling. Ransom is apparently in the knitting sweater business, a new skill he picked up in the slammer. Joni has some vaginal scented bath bomb, Walt is self publishing his memoir. NONE of us will be joining Mr. Blanc in Greece. As the family spokesperson we wish the filmmakers all our best in their new venture.”

* BillingDisplacement: The three first names featured on the poster and ending credits are: "Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas". De Armas plays the MainCharacter. She is also shunted off to the very edge of the poster of all the major characters, despite, once again, being the main character, with Craig being front and center and Evans next to him. The posters at least can be excused by the fact that the character's relative outsider status is a plot point.

* {{Corpsing}}: ''Maybe''. In the scene where Walt is yelling at Ransom, asking him if he thinks Harlan left him enough money for a glass of milk, Ransom has a delighted grin on his face. Evans might be doing this in-character, since his character knows Harlan cut ''everyone'' out of the will, but Michael Shannon as Walt was full into LargeHam, yelling right into Chris's face, so it could have been just left in. The next immediate cut to Ransom from a different angle shows him still looking smug, but the delighted grin is gone.
