- Leo gets a voiceover mocking the nature of a Who Murdered the Asshole? whodunit setup right before he gets murdered himself after being the biggest asshole in the room.
- Right before being killed, Leo tries to escape out a prop door that leads to a brick wall.
- After a flashback scene ends, Mervyn complains about how lazy and unnecessary flashbacks are to a movie.
- Stalker uses Food as Bribe methods to get information on her new boss from another cop, and asks the name of the former Mrs. Stoppard. The other cop takes another biscuit and then replies that her name was "Mrs. Stoppard."
- A dream hallucination of the victim asks Stoppard if the victim was anyone he knew.
- Stalker breaks down a door seconds before she would have gotten the key.
- The entirety of the flashback scene of Köpernick describing his version of the climax of his version of The Mousetrap. To put it simply, it has more in common with a cop action flick than an Agatha Christie adaptation (with some lampshading by Köpernick, who assumes Viewers Are Morons as "the audience only ever remembers the last 20 minutes."). The kicker though is when Mervyn points out a plot hole.Mervyn: How does he get the gun?Köpernick: He's a cop!Woolf: Uh, police are not armed in England.Köpernick: What? How do they kill the bad guys?Mervyn: They don't. They ask them to stop in the name of the law.
- Later in the film, the murderer (who had managed to kill Mervyn a while ago) is defeated the exact same way Köpernick wanted the adaptation to end. Woolf even lampshades it after the killer is defeated.
Woolf: A shootout and a big explosion. It's probably for the best that Merv wasn't here to see this. - After Attenborough admits that the play isn’t that good, the theater owner makes an annoyed glare at him even though the suspects are all being held at gunpoint at that point.
- Stalker manages to save Stoppard by pushing him out of the killer's fire. It is assumed that she took the bullet especially when she says "I can't feel anything". Stoppard begins a monologue to apologise for treating her so poorly before Stalker interrupts to say the reason she thinks she can't feel anything is because the bullet still went into Stoppard. Both look down at Stoppard's bloodied armed seeing where the bullet went through as if to confirm that is what really happened.
