National Security picture

Trivia: It just so happened that on a day when they needed a wide angle lens to get a shot, for the over head view of Hank shooting through the wall at Nash, that the Spider-Man movie was being filmed only a few blocks away. The director of Spider-Man let the director of National Security borrow their lens long enough to get that shot, which was on screen for only about a second. (01:04:55)

Mimic: Sentinel picture

Trivia: Writer/Director JT Petty got the approval to make this follow-up after a simple pitch. He went into a meeting and told the produces that he wanted to "make Hitchcock's 'Rear Window, ' except with giant cockroaches." Not only was it a novel approach to a sequel that allowed the studio to take the series in a new direction, but it also helped the production save money, since most of the film would be set in and around a single location (in this case an apartment complex.) He was given the greenlight almost immediately after.
