• Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: A drip of blood on Selma's cheek disappears and then reappears during the ride in Jeff's truck after she's killed Bill.
• While known among DV filmmakers as being filmed with anamorphic lenses to obtain a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, this is not entirely true; anamorphic lenses were only used on the infamous "100 cameras" for the musical numbers. The rest of the film (along with close-ups in the musical numbers) was shot with a larger camera in 16x9, which was then cropped to the final 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
• When the workers are shown leaving the factory near the beginning of the film, we can briefly see a man and a woman, each holding a baby, waiting in the parking lot. The woman is Bente Frøge Trier, wife of writer-director Lars von Trier; the two infants are their twin sons. Von Trier originally cut these cameos out of the film, but reinserted them following protests from his wife.
• During the Scatterheart-sequence, Selma (Björk) lies down on a stack of birch logs. In Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish, "Björk" means "birch". Lars von Trier said he thought it would be fun to put in the movie.
