Anecdotes
A previous version of this film had Bill Skarsgard providing his own voiceover for his character in the style of a Mortal Kombat announcer before H. Jon Benjamin was cast for the final version; the trailer featuring Skarsgard's voiceover has mostly been scrubbed from the internet. In the original concept trailer, Boy's inner voice is taken from a cigarette commercial, with a voice similar to Sam Elliott's.

Gaffes
After Hilda arrives at the culling party, the downward total shot at 44:15 with Boy and Mina on the landing has exactly the same number and arrangement of macarons on the two plates between them as the shot from the same angle a minute earlier (43:27), even though Boy has in the meantime stuffed himself with macarons taken from those plates.

Knows exactly what it is

Boy Kills World is a total blast. A winning combination of brutal violence and weird humour tied together in a story that does enough to make you care about the characters. It moves efficiently, has some clever twists and an unforgettable fight involving a cheese grater. Like all the best action comedies, the zany humour disguises the beating heart at the centre.

Bill Skarsgård proves he doesn't need dialogue to communicate. He can do so much with just his eyes and the fact that it all syncs up really well with H. Jon Benjamin's suitably over the top voice over is just a bonus. Plus he has an adorable rapport with Quinn Copeland. Andrew Koji isn't given a chance to show off his physical prowess but is given the time to show how surprisingly great he is at comedy.

Mortiz Mohr's direction nails the balance between self awareness and sincerity, translating some of the language of video games to cinema effectively. With cinematography by Peter Matjasko, the camera moves with the action rather than against it. It's always fluid and bloody inventive, saving the best fight for last. It's the kind of final fight where the choreography is impeccable, the blows are nasty and it goes on for so long it's exhausting in the best ways.
