* DawsonCasting: Played straight with Emory Cohen, who was 26-27 while playing Varg Vikernes from age 17-18 to 20. Mostly averted with the rest of the main cast, particularly Jack Kilmer and Valter Skarsgard, who were fairly close in age to their real-life counterparts.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Varg, who in real life is a neo-Nazi, is played by the Jewish actor Emory Cohen. As noted above, the real Varg was not amused.
* PopStarComposer: Music/SigurRos were composers for the film. After filming "Óveður", Jonas Åkerlund approached the band saying he had temped a draft of the film with their songs, especially from ''Von'' and ''Valtari'', and the trio started work on the score from there. You can even hear "Dauðalogn" midway through the trailer!

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Despite what Vikernes kept ''constantly'' saying, Mayhem did ''in fact'' allow their music to be used in the movie, as Åkerlund had dispelled this rumor multiple times.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally the movie was planned for filming in 2009 by Japanese director Creator/SionSono and be released in 2010 with Jackson Rathbone as Varg Vikernes. However plans fell apart when Rathbone couldn't play Varg anymore due to "scheduling conflicts". Eventually the film was passed to Jonas Åkerlund to be filmed in 2015 but was changed to 2016 for unknown reasons.

* DisownedAdaptation: Ye the gods, to say the black metal musicians of the Norway scene did not approve of this movie would be an understatement. It should be noted that out of all the bands of the scene that showed annoyance at ''Lords of Chaos'', only Music/{{Burzum}}, Music/{{Mayhem}}, Music/{{Darkthrone}}, and Music/{{Watain}} (at least its vox) showed this. The other members of the scene are yet to comment or just don't care.

** Varg Vikernes was especially irate over the film, issuing a statement denouncing the film for casting him with a Jewish actor (with Varg being an outspoken neo-Nazi and white supremacist) and depicting him in a negative light.

** According to Mayhem's current vocalist Attila Csihar that the band's official response to the movie was a "big fuck you". He did however state his son Arion Csihar was playing him in the film, implying he is probably indifferent compared to his other band mates.
