** According to Creator/AnnaKendrick, the reason why Stacy [[OnlySaneMan is the only one baffled]] by Mathew Patel's sudden entrance and dance number is because those were her genuine feelings at the time. At the time, Kendrick was not sure if audiences would buy into the premise, as the movie's script looked pretty out there on paper (she still was a fan of Edgar Wright's work however, and trusted his vision for the film). When they were filming everyone's individual reactions, her confused reactions ended up making it into the final cut.

It's unknown if they did so and the filmmakers didn't like it or if the band just didn't do it, however, as Creator/BrieLarson listened to a lot of Metric while researching for Envy's character and upon hearing "Black Sheep", she came to the conclusion that the lyrics sounded like Envy singing about Scott,[[note]]in reality, "Black Sheep" was written sometime before or during 2009 for Metric's ''Fantasise'' album, but didn't make the cut and was left off the album, being released on its own in 2010 before the film was released,[[/note]] and decided that the song was perfect for the movie, so the writers went back to Metric and asked for the rights to use "Black Sheep" instead. Metric agreed, but soon there was a disagreement on who would sing it. Creator/EdgarWright (and Larson) wanted it to be covered by Larson, likely because Larson and Haines voices don't sound similar (especially because Haines's voice in "Black Sheep" is heavily autotuned) and Larson has a background as a singer, even having released an album back in the day. However, Metric wanted the original version with Emily Haines's voice instead, most likely due to the song being very personal for Haines (she wrote the song herself about an ex-boyfriend). They ultimately made an agreement to have Haines's version on the soundtrack and to have Larson's only in the movie, and even then the song in the movie is cut early on, so the audience can't really hear Larson's version in its entirety, and the deal extended to Metric not allowing Larson to sing the song publicly. However, Larson's version began to be demanded by fans, especially after Wright was allowed to post the full Larson version to [=YouTube=] for the movie's promotion. It wasn't until 2020 when Metric finally caved and posted Larson's full version on their [=YouTube=] channel and gave Larson permission to sing a small snippet of it on her own channel.

!!Miscellaneous Trivia:
* This movie has caused Michael Cera to turn himself into a real-life example of CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass. He underwent martial arts training for the film's fight scenes and enjoyed it so much he started training for real. He still looks like a complete wimp, but nowadays he's a complete wimp with a black belt.
