Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues picture

Trivia: Netflix uses the International Theatrical Version of the film (which they tend to do a lot), that cuts a few jokes or changes some scenes from the US Theatrical Version. For example, instead of Tony Montana from "Scarface" in Ron's eyes, it's Frank Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) from "Bloodsport", which is also a mistake since the film came out in 1988.

Birdemic 2: The Resurrection picture

Trivia: After the underground success of the original film (considered a "so bad, it's good" cult classic), a sequel was eventually greenlit. Many feared the sequel would be self-aware and therefore not as unintentionally funny as the original. While it is true the cast and some of the crew were "in on the joke" and some inside-jokes were inserted for fans of the original, reportedly writer/director James Nguyen was trying his hardest to create a serious and legitimate sequel to the original film, which he considered an un-ironic "romantic thriller." Most of the self-referential inside-jokes in the film are the result of the producer and editor or the cast messing around... the script is actually almost completely earnest. (This is especially evident if one listens to the two audio commentaries for the film... Nguyen doesn't find the film nearly as amusing as the cast does).
