Added Hilarious In Hindsight and some improvements
* HilariousInHindsight: Nikolaj Lie Kaas as a subordinate of Søren Pilmark in a world of crime? They'd end up making a [[Film/DepartmentQTheKeeperOfLostCauses series of movies]] precisely about that - only this time not as lifelong gangsters, but as lifelong policemen. Twice as hilarious when considering their personalities in the Department Q are basically the exact opposites of what they are in Flickering Lights, with Kaas playing a tough man of few words, and Pilmark a calm, collected high-ranking official.

** Ulrich Thomsen, who'se most famous roles are a tough, silent policeman and a no-nonsense antagonist on Banshee, plays a weak, soft-spoken drug addict, who's even worse at keeping his mouth shut than Kaas' character.
** Mads Mikkelsen, yes, that one, now famous for playing sophisticated villains in Hollywood, plays a mentally unstable, extremely violent and poetry-hating criminal. He's not just different, but basically the opposite of every role he's now known for playing.
** Downplayed with Søren Pilmark, who was always a versatile actor that never got typecasted. However, most of his roles still put him in positions of some formal and high-ranking authority (i.e. doctor on Riget, director on DepartmentQ etc.), so seeing him play a street thug is still quite against what one would expect.
