Trivia

The title "A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage" is an old riddle which FBI Agent Pepper (Keegan-Michael Key) asks FBI Agent Budge (Jordan Peele) in the FBI file room. The answer to the puzzle is that, the man first takes the rabbit with him as fox won't eat the cabbage, then come back and take cabbage with him and bring back rabbit from other end and keep the rabbit and take fox to the other end, hence fox and cabbage are safely on other end and finally later come back and take rabbit with him, hence safely taking all three to the other end.

Goofs

During the elevator-kill scene, blood-spray would indicate that the backs of the victims' heads were now gone. However, at the moment the blonde is shot, the camera immediately switches to that of ceiling-view, just as the blonde slumps limply to the floor. But, as she does, it can be clearly seen that not a single drop of blood is on the back of her head.
