History Trivia / SuburbanKnights

** Dave previously played a OneMoreDay fan who was [[DisproportionateRetribution killed]] by Linkara and The Last Angry Geek in their review of OneMomentInTime.

** JesuOtaku and CR were going to appear but couldn't for personal reasons and schedule conflicts. They would finally make their TGWTG Anniversary debut in ''ToBoldlyFlee'' in parts that share scenes together.

** Mechakara was originally planned to make a switch with Linkara in this special in order to try to find Malachite's Hand and take its power. The comedy would come from him having to play along with antics of the critics going on a fantasy quest. Linkara argued that Mechakara would rip everyones' throats out before even considering playing along with that. As such, the switch was saved for ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' where Mechakara acted a KnightOfCerebus and the only villain never PlayedForLaughs.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: [[spoiler:The Power Glove didn't come out until 1989, Jaffers couldn't have had one. It's {{HandWave}}d when Jaffers says it was smuggled out of Japan by American industrial spies, so he did get it before it was released, and he would have found out how lame it is. Of course, it's highly doubtful a complete prototype already existed in 1981. Also, the manufacturer was American.]]

** Todd ad libbed the "He looks like a member of [[Music/RunDMC Run–D.M.C.]]" line, and was impressed that Doug decided to keep it.

** Paw's original character idea was [[KingsQuest King Graham]], then Jareth (turned over to JewWario due to him already owning the costume. In the house scenes, you can see Paw wearing a Music/DavidBowie shirt).

* FanNickname:

* HeyItsThatVoice:

** And IronLiz and Last Angry Geek as two of the Cloaks.

* ThrowItIn:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The whole ''Suburban Knights'' could've been completely ditched due to terrible weather conditions. In Benzaie's [=VLog=], Doug thanks everyone for carrying on despite the cold and for helping him not give up.
** MarzGurl was supposed to attack Malachite (fading daylight caused it not to be filmed) and Nella would be "the Chick's [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Patsy]]" (she couldn't get enough time off work and was reduced to a cameo).

* WorkingTitle:

** [[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] wanted to do an "Bear versus Beary" fight during both SuburbanKnights and {{Kickassia}}, but in both times there was no time to do it.

** [[spoiler: WebOriginal/TheAngryVideoGameNerd as the voice of the ancient world.]]

** Rob's commentary goes into detail on how Doug's original vision for the film was far more balanced between comedy and epic fantasy. The {{Troubled Production}} forced them to make it far more of a straight comedy.

** During the video of everyone describing their characters, there's a bit where Linkara asks Doug if he's decided which title he's using yet, and Doug leans toward Suburban Knights.

** [[spoiler: AngryVideoGameNerd as the voice of the ancient world.]]

** Todd said most of his lines were intended for LordKat, who would have been [[SnowWhite one of the seven dwarfs.]]

* TroubledProduction: Doug and Rob had different visions on what kind of movie this would be and eventually made it more like a dramedy rather than a more straight-forward epic, with Rob turning into a ghost writer, fixing Doug's plotholes and clearing up some plot points (Rob wanted it to be an actual tribute to DungeonsAndDragons and {{LARP}}ing, while Doug wanted them all dressed in general fantasy costumes), weather was horrible during the 4-day shoot which prevented some appearances due to delayed flights and caused broken morale, some people dropped out because they wanted to spend Easter with their friends and family, and some glitches and general filming issues arose not too different from those that plagued ''Kickassia''. The DVD documentary shows they nearly cancelled the thing, but everyone involved decided to give their best to finish it.

* FanNickname: Fans were referring to [[HiddenAgendaVillain Orlando's character]] as "Matrix Hitchhiker", as did Bill, until his full name was revealed.

* ThrowItIn: Spoony kept losing his hat, until it was turned into a deliberate RunningGag when he fled from the Cloaks. And again as a Throw It In when the Cloaks shot magic fireballs at him, the original idea was for it to barely miss him, but his movement caused the hat to tilt back and fall off, leading to them making the fireball knock it off. Eventually, he scrapped the hat all together.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The whole ''Suburban Knights'' could've been completely ditched due to terrible weather conditions. In Benzaie's [=VLog=], Doug thanks everyone for carrying on despite the cold and for helping him not give up.

* WorkingTitle: According to the [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2011/07/06/suburban-knights-cast-commentary-part-1/ cast commentary]]: ''Flights of Fantasy'' (still used in SadPanda's ThemeSong) and ''Dungeons & Critics''.

** Lupa was originally going to wear a black Snow White wig, but Doug decided it would be a crime to cover her strikingly dyed red hair.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: MarzGurl was supposed to attack Malachite (fading daylight caused it not to be filmed) and Nella would be "the Chick's [[MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail Patsy]]" (she couldn't get enough time off work and was reduced to a cameo).

** The Witch Warrior sequence had the most rewrites. Originally the Witch Warrior was going to be a zombie named Mildred, who would bite Phelous and [[ZombieInfectee turn him into a zombie as well.]] Then she was changed to a witch who also had a** The whole ''Suburban Knights'' could've been completely ditched due to terrible weather conditions.

They eventually went with a straight homely woman who suddenly became demonic.

** The Brain vs. Luke sequences were originally going to incorporate Phillip and Ringo from Luke's Film Conscience reviews, but they were cut for time.

** Paw's original character idea was [[KingsQuest King Graham]], then Jareth (turned over to JewWario due to him already owning the costume)

** The costumes bring up several, such as Spoondalf, [=San!Gurl=], King Linkur or Kingkara , Snow Lupa, and Indiana Snob (...or [=Jones!Jones=]).

** Todd ad libbed the "He looks like a member of RunDMC" line, and was impressed that Doug decided to keep it.
** [[spoiler:Crom's burp were done by LordKat as a joke - and the take ended up getting used!]]

** Rob's commentary also revealed a much different opening segment, in which Malecite is sitting in on a DnD game and ends up slaughtering the geeks playing because of the farce his magical heritage has become, establishing his hatred of gamers and his refusal to do the quest himself.
