Hank's Christmas Wish picture

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)

Expend4bles picture

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.

Five Nights at Freddy's picture

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.

The Devil Comes at Night picture

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)

No Hard Feelings picture

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.

Rent-a-Groom picture

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)
