[1] The year 1924 was listed during his lifetime, after Menšík falsified his documents for fun.
Because he did not enjoy performing on a daily basis, he then left the theatre and became a member of the acting ensemble of the Barrandov Film Studio.
The cause of his death was asthma combined with his lifestyle – he was a heavy smoker and had problems with alcoholism.
In addition to acting in films, he became famous as a guest of entertainment shows and live performances.
In his native Ivančice, a primary school bears Menšík's name.
[4] In the Cultural and Information Centre in Ivančice is an exposition of life and work of Vladimír Menšík.
