    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The domino scene, where V (Hugo Weaving) tips over black and red dominoes to form a giant letter V, involved 22,000 dominoes. It took four professional domino assemblers 200 hours to set it up.
    • Goofs
      The aim of the Gunpowder Plot was actually a scheme to blow up the House of Lords, not the House of Commons (commonly referred to as Parliament).
    • Quotes

      V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros, DC Comics, Vertigo and Silver Pictures logos are on black-and-white film, and are accompanied by part of the 1812 Overture, thus forming the impression that V is starting a transmission.

    Probably the best adaptation of a literary work into film
    It is not only supremely entertaining, but also has such a great and deep meaning. The film makers, actors and writers have outdone themselves
