1	* CreatorCameo:
2	** The writers appear as the hosts of the crossbow-training video.
3	** One of the producers plays [[spoiler: Mr. Le Bail.]]
4	* [[DuelingWorks/FilmHorror Dueling Works]]: Would have been this with ''Film/{{The Hunt\|2020}}'', a more political/satirical horror film about a group of rich people [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunting a young woman]]. However, with that film [[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment pushed back to March 2020]] after [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents a pair of back-to-back mass shootings]] in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio (as well as mass condemnation from right-wing politicians and commentators, including then-President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump), and ''then'' its ultimate release date falling just a week before the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic led to shutdowns of all theaters, ''Ready or Not'' won by default, even discounting its better reviews.
5	* EnforcedMethodActing:
6	** Grace's shivering in the photoshoot scenes wasn't performative. In the commentary, Samara Weaving mentioned that it was cold when they were shooting that scene, hence her shivering, but it worked to make her look more convincingly nervous, something Weaving herself admitted.
7	** Elyse Levesque (Charity Le Domas) said in the behind-the-scenes of the film that she has no idea how to hold a speargun, and no one told her if she was doing it right or not. Given that all of the Le Domases are supposed to be airheads with no idea what they're doing, not telling her how to hold a speargun was probably the best move.
8	* FakeAmerican: The entire Le Domas family, other than Adam Brody and Andie [=MacDowell=], are played by Canadian actors and Grace is played by the Australian Samara Weaving.
9	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/MelanieScrofano, who plays the eponymous ActionGirl [[TheGunslinger Gunslinger]] heroine on ''Series/WynonnaEarp'', here plays Emilie, a comically whiny and useless airhead -- and one who's specifically the subject of a RunningGag concerning [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace her terrible marksmanship]].
10	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original draft of the script, [[spoiler: [[TheHeroDies Grace died]] in the end. However, upon reading the script and seeing the overall tone, it was decided that having her live was better.]]
