Trivia
The exchange between Evey and V that ends with V saying, "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!" is a reference to a famous paraphrase of the words of American Anarchist Feminist, Emma Goldman (1869-1940). One version of the familiar line attributed to her is, "If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution." While this particular phrase is not hers, it is a distillation of a passage from her autobiography, "Living My Life" published in 1931. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: In the scene at Inspector Finch's home in one shot, bottom left, we see a German-style mains outlet (where the studio scenes were filmed), not the 13 Amp UK socket it should have. See more »Quotes
