    • Trivia
      The film contains several references to old Scandinavian folklore. For example, the goats on a bridge and a troll under it are a reference to the "Three Billy Goats Gruff". At one point Kalle mentions an eating competition, a reference to the story "Askeladden".
    • Goofs
      Title cards at the beginning say the hard disk with the footage was received on October 13, 2008. The TST form that Hans fills in the diner was dated October 9, 2009.
    • Quotes

      Johanna: Question. Why doesn't anybody know about this?

      Hans, trolljegeren: Because someone doesn't want people to know.

      Thomas: The government? Is the government behind this? Do you work for them?

      Johanna: Why show it to us now?

      Hans, trolljegeren: Because I'm tired of this shitty job. I have no rights whatsoever. I get no night bonus. No overtime. No nuisance compensation. Maybe it's time for a change in troll management. So if you could get this on TV...

      Thomas: That shouldn't be a problem.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the final credits, there is a notice in English, claiming that "No trolls were harmed during the making of this movie".

    The best Norwegian troll film?
    Trollhunter is pretty darn great. Apart from actually being a little scary at times it's also quite funny. The performances are all fine but what really makes this film stand out are the trolls. The effects are super interesting looking (in a good way.) The film can start to feel a little repetitive at times and a bit more could have been done to make it scarier but it's on Netflix and worth checking out.
