When Ophelia turns the camera on the audience, a life-size skeleton is visible sitting in the audience, wearing a coat and sitting near the aisle in the front row.
Another embellishment with no supporting text, Pitman uses a green overlay of a virus and inserts Claudius' line "Hebanon!" to suggest the poison Laertes procured from a 'mounteback' doctor on the way to the castle is the same type of poison Claudius used to slay his brother.
At the end of the movie, it is revealed that the events of the stage play were an amalgamation of Ophelia's dream state, as she snoozed to a nearby television set presumably showing a film of Hamlet; the writing credit is given to William Shakespeare, whilst Richard Burbage, Henry Condell and John Heminges were contemporary actors, colleagues and friends of Shakespeare's on the Elizabethan theatre scene.
A complete embellishment with no supporting text, Pitman appears to suggest Claudius is about to poison Laertes as well when they are interrupted by Ophelia's arrival.
The appearance of two armed thugs wearing masks, credited as 'Fear & Hate Incarnate' are in the style of the Ancient Greek prosopon 'tragedy and comedy'. Pitman developed this theme from another line in a different play of Shakespeare's; in Henry V, the king refers to "...two yoke devils..." treason and murder.
