** On the run-up to the release of ''Film/TheHungerGamesTheBalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes'', Francis Lawrence [[https://people.com/hunger-games-director-regrets-splitting-mockingjay-two-parts-exclusive-8356372 gave an interview]] in which he expressed regret splitting ''Literature/{{Mockingjay}}'' into two films. Although he stood by the decision back when the films were released, he changed his mind as the years gone by, and stated that if he could turn back time, he would have never done it.

Added DiffLines:

* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/SuzanneCollins was the one who had Effie replace the character Fulvia in this film, loving Creator/ElizabethBanks's performance. In [[Literature/TheHungerGames the book]] Effie only appears briefly near the end, but Collins called the director and said "there's no way Effie can't be in the ''Mockingjay'' films".
* BillingDisplacement: Creator/JenaMalone as Johanna Mason in ''Part 1'' is billed above many characters who have ''way'' more screen time than she does. She essentially makes a glorified cameo at the end giving Katniss a quick smile, compared to characters like Beetee (who shows up often to discuss plans using his technological expertise), Cressida and her crewmembers (who stay with Katniss almost all the time to film the propos), or even CanonForeigner Egeria (who acts as Snow's primary adviser).
* CreatorBacklash: Creator/JenniferLawrence doesn't think much of her singing voice, she dislikes 'The Hanging Tree' as a result.
* DawsonCasting: Katniss is still 17-year-old as these films take place a few months after ''Catching Fire'', but Creator/JenniferLawrence continues to grow (23 years old at the time of filming). Same as Peeta (Creator/JoshHutcherson, 21) and 19-year-old Gale (Liam Hemsworth, 23)
* DeletedScene: From Part 1.
** Katniss getting made-up prior to filming the propo, with Effie being horrified by District 13's efforts.
** President Snow meets with Peeta, complimenting him on his interview and making it clear that he needs him to convince the rebels to back down.
* EnforcedMethodActing:
** Francis Lawrence made use of the close real-life relationship between Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, and Jennifer's vocal displeasure with Josh being absent for most of the shoot. All of Peeta's interview segments were shot and edited before they shot the scenes where Katniss sees them, and they actually played the interviews for Jennifer and Liam Hemsworth during the takes to get the right emotional response from her.
** Jennifer Lawrence trolled Liam Hemsworth by only eating fish and foods with garlic before their kissing scenes, thus helping with the general awkwardness.
* FakeAmerican: Several. Liam Hemsworth and Stef Dawson (both Australians), Paula Malcolmson (Northern Irish), and Sam Claflin (English) as Gale, Annie, Mrs. Everdeen, and Finnick, respectively, are carried over from the previous films. The films also introduce Creator/NatalieDormer and Sarita Choudhury (both English) as Cressida and Egeria, respectively.
* InMemoriam: ''Part 1'' was dedicated to Creator/PhilipSeymourHoffman.
* SoMyKidsCanWatch: Creator/JulianneMoore's two children were fans of [[Literature/TheHungerGames the book]], and convinced her to sign on to play Alma Coin.
* ThrowItIn: Creator/NatalieDormer improvised most of Cressida's directions to the twins and Finnick when his speech is being filmed, citing inspiration from how the film's director did so. She ad-libbed a lot of her other scenes too.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/JodieFoster was strongly considered for Alma Coin before Creator/JulianneMoore was cast.
** The ending to ''Part 1'' was meant to be the opening of ''Part 2''. The original ending was to be when Boggs knocks Peeta out and the movie fades to black. It was felt that was too big of a cliffhanger.
** Part 1 was going to open with a scene where Peeta would tell President Snow that he doesn't support the rebellion or Katniss's role in it (not knowing about the atrocities committed by Snow yet).
