* ScullyBox: Inverted. Alice is sitting down in her scene with her mother because Elizabeth Debicki is 6'3" and Jacki Weaver is only 4'11" - and having Elizabeth seated was the only way to get them both in the same shot.

* DevelopmentGag: Linda at one point says Alice's name is Jennifer. Creator/JenniferLawrence was the first choice to play her.
* FakeAmerican: Brits Cynthia Erivo and Daniel Kaluuya, Australians Elizabeth Debicki and Jacki Weaver, and Irishmen Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson. All the actors - including the Americans - were coached on their Chicago accents.

* RemakeCameo: Amanda's mother is played by Ann Mitchell - who was in the original series.

* ThrowItIn: Michelle Rodriguez ad-libbed Linda's line comparing Alice's gold dress to a condom.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** As noted above, Jennifer Lawrence was the first choice for Alice but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. Elizabeth Debicki was cast when Steve [=McQueen=] heard about a play she was in with Creator/CateBlanchett and called in for an audition - where she was so impressive he offered her the role within an hour.
** Michelle Rodriguez likewise turned down the role of Linda at first, feeling the urban poverty theme hit a little too close to home ("I've lived that life - why would I want to portray it?") - but after Steve [=McQueen=] auditioned other actresses and decided they weren't right, he met with Michelle and persuaded her to take the role.
** The original cut of the film ran nearly three hours according to WordOfGod.

* AbilityOverAppearance: Your guess is as good as anyone's on how the diminutive Ann Mitchell has a 6'2 daughter. Mitchell was obviously cast as a RemakeCameo.

** [[spoiler:Brilliantly done with Creator/LiamNeeson, whose characters tend to have inherently noble traits, even the villains and his more violent heroes. Initially, Harry appears to be pretty typical: a criminal, but a charming one who loves his wife and whom the audience easily assumes was AFatherToHisMen. Then it's revealed that Harry is a DirtyCoward with an ItsAllAboutMe attitude who's perfectly willing to doom everyone else to save his own skin.]]
