Nilbog is also the name of a fictional town in the film Troll 2. In this case it is also significant that the town's name is "Goblin" spelled backwards, as the film, despite its title, features not trolls but goblins. Upon realizing the true meaning of the town's name, the film's protagonist Joshua becomes terrified, as he realizes Nilbog is the goblins' kingdom.
