Trivia: One of the first weapons the suit creates is an almost exact replica of the Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon System from the movie "The Fifth Element." The only major difference being that it's blue instead of the original tan camouflage color.
Trivia: Fabian Marta, one of the patrons who helped crowdfund this film, was ironically arrested and charged with child kidnapping in August 2023. Additionally, Tim Ballard, on whom this film is based, stepped down from Operation Underground Railroad in the same year after receiving multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
Trivia: Nicolas Cage is well-known for turning down roles if he doesn't play the lead character. However, he agreed to do this film as he's always wanted to play Count Dracula, even though Nicholas Hoult is the lead character.
Trivia: This is the first movie in the Rocky franchise not to feature Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa.
Trivia: "Traditionalist" Hank insists, "There's no green in candy canes. Green is for peppermint sticks. They [candy canes] should be red [striped]." Original candy canes are solid white (no red stripes) and are straight sticks (not shaped like canes). Hank's age is not disclosed, and traditions can change over time, so Hank's assertions cannot be classified as a "character mistake." (00:03:17)
Trivia: Sylvester Stallone originally exited this film in 2017 over creative differences with producer Avi Lerner. Arnold Schwarzenegger exited as well in solidarity with Stallone. The film ended up being shelved for several years until Stallone returned, albeit in a much smaller and final role. Schwarzenegger, as well as other key actors from the franchise, ultimately did not return.
Trivia: At the end of the film Audrey (Jennifer Aniston) and Nick are in the helicopter there is a piece of cloth behind them that says Vikram. Vikram is the name used by Ross on Friends (starring Aniston) for Phoebe's fake boyfriend.
Trivia: The filmmakers wanted to honor the fact that the villains are animatronic robots and decided to use practical effects instead of CGI. The Jim Henson Creature Shop actually built fully-functional animatronic puppets for each character, in addition to suits that could be worn by actors for movements that were too complex for the animatronics to do.
Trivia: The "Prime Video" includes a goof/factual error stating: "At 18:26 when Ben looks in the refrigerator there is definitely light illuminating the interior despite there supposedly being no electricity in the house. In addition, he sets his flashlight on the table so it can't be from that." To the contrary, there is no apparent power outage. Jack leaves Ben a note stating "Keep lights off. Stay hidden" and Ben later flicks off the light switch. The reported "factual error" is nonfactual. (00:04:35 - 00:12:07)
Trivia: This is the second consecutive Ninja Turtles film in which Rocksteady is portrayed by a professional wrestler. He was played by Sheamus in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and voiced in this film by John Cena.
Trivia: When the film was released, a big deal was made about the fact there's a 10+ year age gap between stars Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman, with many expressing that they felt it was inappropriate that Lawrence was older. However, the cast and crew pointed out this as being immensely hypocritical, as Bradley Cooper is 15 years older than Lawrence and played her love-interest in "Silver Linings Playbook," which nobody complained about despite her only being only 22 at the time.
Trivia: The final film starring Bruce Willis to be released, coming out almost exactly one year after he announced his retirement due to Frontotemporal Dementia (initially diagnosed as Aphasia). Like many of his final films, it was created primarily for the VOD, streaming and home-video market, but was also given a token limited release in certain overseas markets.
Trivia: The correct spelling of Kylee Bush is "Tracey", as shown on the "Congratulations" banner at her office and under "Cast" at the end of the movie. Movie-related websites (including IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and The Movie Database) apparently receive the same listing for "Cast", which incorrectly spells her name "Tracy". (00:22:30 - 01:26:28)
