Our Favourite Trivia:
The title Glass Onion refers to The Beatles' song from The White Album. The song is enigmatic, teasing various myths about the band by the band (specifically John Lennon, who wrote it), thus fitting as a mystery film's title. Also, Just before his guests arrive, Miles plays The Beatles' "Blackbird" on a guitar. Knives Out (2019) was also titled after a song, specifically the song by Radiohead from their album Amnesiac.
The loud hourly "Dong" that marks the passage of time on the island is a reference to the Agatha Christie adaptation Evil Under the Sun (1982), which takes place at an island resort where a cannon is fired every day at noon. The dong is a stealth cameo from Joseph Gordon Levitt, who often sneaks into Rian Johnson’s films.
Another regular in Rian Johnson's movies is Noah Segan who plays Derol in this movie. He previously played Trooper Wagner in Knives Out (2019).
Ethan Hawke's cameo wasn't planned in advance, but Hawke happened to be nearby in Budapest shooting Moon Knight (2022) and came to Greece for a day to shoot his scene.
Miles says that his "puzzle guy" was mentored by Ricky Jay. Jay was supposed to be in Knives Out (2019), but died before he could film his scenes. He was replaced by M. Emmet Walsh, however a photo of Jay is seen briefly, stuck to a fridge.
How the Disruptors wear their masks when they are meeting on the docks also helps establish their character: Lionel wears his professional-grade N95 mask the entire time, maintains a minimum six foot distance, and tries to avoid social contact, showing he is a serious scientist, as well as being reasonably considerate of his own and others' safety. Claire's mask covers her mouth but regularly falls off her nose, showing that she's only interested in appearing socially and morally conscious. Birdie wears a mesh mask that looks (and probably functions) more like a veil than a face mask and immediately tries to initiate a hug regardless of the others' protests, showing that she is much more concerned with how she looks than protecting herself or anyone else. Meanwhile, Peg, her capable assistant, is wearing a functional face mask and keeps it on the entire time the group is on the dock. Duke doesn't wear a mask at all, and neither does his girlfriend, Whiskey, implying that neither of them believe the virus is a real threat or are under the impression machismo will defeat it. Miles doesn't wear a mask, but has an employee spray something in the throats of all the guests that supposedly protects them from the virus. Later revelations show he's more interested in flashy stuff that looks cool rather than anything that has been actually tested and proven to work or be safe to use.
