The Human Centipede picture

Trivia: The movie spawned from a dark joke the director made. He had jokingly blurted out that a sexual predator he saw on TV should "have his mouth stitched to the a** of a fat truck driver." He and his friends found the idea so gross that he decided to develop it into a horror movie.

Dragonball Evolution picture

Trivia: The house used in the film as the one where the master lives, is the house in the news called the "nail house," where the owners refused an order to move because of construction. In the southwestern Chinese municipality of Chongqing, the modest two-story brick structure - a dot on the decimated landscape - is called the "nail house" because it seems to be nailed to the ground by its owners' stubbornness.

The Box picture

Trivia: "The Box" was based on a short horror story entitled "Button Button" by prolific and legendary sci-fi author Richard Matheson. Matheson's original story was first published in a 1970 issue of Playboy Magazine. He adapted his own story for the screen in a 1985 episode of the new "Twilight Zone" TV series, but it was significantly rewritten after he submitted it. Matheson was so angered by the Twilight Zone rewrite that he refused to allow his real name in the episode credits and instead used his pseudonym, "Logan Swanson."

The Art of War III: Retribution picture

Trivia: Despite being the third film, this sequel was actually filmed second. At the point it went into filming, Wesley Snipes, who starred in the original, hadn't signed on for a sequel, so his role was recast. During production, Snipes signed on to return to the series and a new sequel was commissioned, while this film was shelved while producers figured out what to do with it. It was going to be re-titled at one point and any references to the previous films cut-out to make it stand alone, but after "The Art of War II: Betrayal" became a hot-seller, this film was quickly released as the "third" entry in the series.
