Trivia / Lollipop Chainsaw

• Fake Brit: Zed, one the Dark Purveyors and the first official boss fight, is based on the British punk revolution, has some Northern pronunciation of his swears, and quotes The Sex Pistols "Nevermind the Ballocks" and quotes The Clash song "London is Calling". Zed is voiced by James Euringer (a.k.a Jimmy Urine), an American musician who composed the soundtrack for the game.
• The Other Darrin: Juliet in the Japanese version, where she's voiced by a different voice actress depending on platform: Eri Kitamura in the Xbox 360 version, and Yōko Hikasa in the PlayStation 3 version.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Kimberly Brooks, who's characters are usually serious and/or professionals, as Rosalind.
  • Tara Strong who, aside from Drawn Together and Hidden Celebrity Webcam, is best known for family friendly Western Animation series.
• Production Posse: Yet another James Gunn project involving his brother Sean, Gregg Henry, and Michael Rooker in some capacity.
• Real Song Theme Tune: Numerous. Ranging from Lollipop by The Chordettes to the notorious You Spin Me Right Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive, to Mickey by Toni Basil.
• Referenced by...: Rowan's plot from Ghostbusters (2016) glens a bit from this game as Swan, was likewise bullied in life and turned to supernatural forces to exact his revenge. Right down to killing himself to enact his final phase of his plan and even summoning a giant monster. Though, unlike Swam, who did so to summon said monster. Rowan is said monster.
• Release Date Change: The remake was originally planned to be released in 2023 but was later moved to Summer 2024.
• Screwed by the Network: The game has almost no support on XBL and PSN outside of achievements and rankings. No DLC, no background themes or user icons, not even the preview trailer for the game proper. The 360 won't even acknowledge the game's existence unless you physically have the disk in the drive. From a practical standpoint, what this means is that if you didn't preorder the game, whether it be because you wanted to wait till it was cheaper or were too young to play M-rated (or equivalent) games at the time, and you want the pre-order DLC, you're out of luck. Websites such as the game's fan-wiki and The Cutting Room Floor say that the pre-order costumes are actually hidden away on the disc (similarly to Street Fighter X Tekken), but no one has currently made any cheats to access them.
• Sleeper Hit: It's Suda51's best selling title, having sold over the milestone 1,000,000 copies as of 21 months after its release.
