The remastered Terminal Cut re-releases of the first two games are not sold in Germany.
The Character Died with Him: Lynn Mathis (who voiced DarkMan as well as Stranger in Terminal Reality's other games) died in 2003, barely a year after the first game was released. Out of respect, Terminal Reality replaced DarkMan with Severin (voiced by Troy Baker).
Fandom Nod: Several of the portraits in the first game's levels are based on photos of members of the (now defunct) Spookhouse forum for Nocturne (1999).
Throw It In!: Part of the script was written in a bid to make Laura Bailey blush and the lines that did were the ones that were used.
What Could Have Been: Rayne's initial character design◊ was meant to be reminiscent of Svetlana Lupescu from Nocturne (1999), Terminal Reality's Survival Horror 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.
The films:
Awesome, Dear Boy: Ben Kingsley stated that his biggest reason for doing the first film was for the chance to play a vampire, cape and all.
Creator Killer: This was the first and last time Billy Zane ever distributed a film. The box office failure combined with a lawsuit filed against him by Uwe Boll led Zane to quit the film distribution business.
Direct to Video: The two sequels that followed after the first.
Laura Bailey: Oh God, that movie sucked. And that movie was so bad. I saw it on The Movie Channel and I couldn't even get through 20 minutes of it! It was so bad and it was kinda sad that they took that because I really liked the games.
Screwed by the Lawyers: Billy Zane 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 and Zane getting out of the film distribution business after settling.
Vindicated by Cable: Made less than $4 million worldwide at the box office, but its almost immediate release to showings on Syfy (and strong DVD sales) exposed it to their audience of bad movie connoisseurs and justified the two Direct to Video sequels.
