* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Lynn Mathis (who voiced [=DarkMan=] as well as Stranger in Terminal Reality's other games) died in 2003, barely a year after the [[VideoGame/BloodRayne first game]] was released. Out of respect, Terminal Reality replaced [=DarkMan=] with Severin (voiced by Creator/TroyBaker).

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/GuinevereTurner, the scriptwriter has stated publicly that she will never work with Creator/UweBoll again, and that only about 25% of her first draft was actually used. [[TroubledProduction There was no second draft: the script was flown to the production site as-is.]] Creator/MichaelMadsen is not fond of the film either.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Rayne's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beta_rayne.jpg initial character design]] was meant to be reminiscent of Svetlana Lupescu from ''{{VideoGame/Nocturne}}'', Terminal Reality's SurvivalHorror game that inspired ''[=BloodRayne=]'' but was later scrapped and redesigned into the Rayne we all know today. There's a passing reference to a character that might be Svetlana in the first game, when Mynce mentions one of Rayne's half-sisters also working for Brimstone.

* RetroactiveRecognition: ''[=BloodRayne=] 2'' was only now-veteran voice actor Creator/TroyBaker's ''second'' video game role. The GutturalGrowler voice he uses for Kagan makes it hard to spot him, but Severin is much closer to one of his "standard" voices, bar the British accent.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Creator/BillyZane not only co-starred in this movie, he also co-owned Romar Entertainment, the company that distributed the film in the U.S. Romar promised Boll that the film would open in 2,000 theaters across the U.S. and ended up opening in 950 of them, which led to Boll suing Zane.
