* TheUnderworld: The film shows sections of the Underworld connected to separated areas. The main area is Hades and Persephone's broadcasting network, which is adjacent to a gloomy office setting where Apollo and Calliope are tasked with erasing incoming souls' memories via a paper shredder. The second area is deep below the earth and is connected to a shady parking garage, where flame jets and seemingly impossible skateboarding jumps deter intruders.

Oh. "Not all products visible in television or film are the result of product placement." XD

** Boxes of Shredded Wheat are seen and stolen in a mid-movie scene. According to the filmmakers, the cereal was supplied instead of money and inserted into the movie, doubling as a cheeky pun on the title of the film.
** In a blink-and-you-miss it example, Orpheus has the Volume 6 No. 7 issue of ''[=SkateBoarder=] Magazine'' on his bed when he and Eurydice make love.

Added DiffLines:

* TheOner: The climax has a continuous shot where Orpheus sees an Underworld pillar with the same logo as his skateboard, sees Hades in the distance, then walks along where Hades is [[StealthHiBye right next to him]] as he passes a pillar, and continues to focus on both men as they confront each other and Hades drags Orpheus away. The director said it was one of the most difficult shots in the movie due to its unbroken length and tricky camerawork involved.
