    • Trivia
      (at around 1h 40 mins) The domino scene, where V tips over black and red dominoes to form a giant letter V, involved 22,000 dominoes. It took four professional domino assemblers 200 hours to set it up.
    • Goofs
      (at around 16 mins) While the two detectives are driving to the TV station, the speedometer in their car is on zero, while their car is visibly moving.
    • Quotes

      V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros, DC Comics, Vertigo and Silver Pictures logos are on black-and-white film, and are accompanied by part of the 1812 Overture, thus forming the impression that V is starting a transmission.

    "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

    Placed in futuristic Britain, this movie tells a story about dictatorship and the man who became symbol of it's downfall. People from many, not to say majority, countries in today's world can easily identify with the characters. Great adaptation of DC comic and always gladly seen Natalie Portman.
