Michael Collins/YMMV
- Complete Monster - The Black and Tans.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome - The Squad tracking down and assassinating the members of the Cario Gang, crippling British military intelligence at a stroke.
- Collins and his men disarming an entire RIC barracks armed with some empty rifles and a flaming sod of turf.
- Hilarious in Hindsight - As part of a Casting Gag, Liam Neeson suggested that Aidan Quinn be cast as the villain in the action-thriller Unknown, 15 years after they had played best buds in this film.
- Historical Villain Upgrade - Éamon de Valera.
- In part, this is due to poor communication; many interpret the film as falsely suggesting that de Valera was responsible for the assassination of Michael Collins, which was never the director's intent.
- Even though it showed De Valera being not at all aware of the plan to assassinate Collins-rather, extremely upset by the divide which occurred between them.
- Retroactive Recognition: An early role for Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who appears at the end of the film as the youth who assassinates Collins.
