Trivia: The Man as Panda had difficulty breathing after he got outside. He gasped for a while, then started to breathe through his mouth and was OK. The significance of this "cat turns into man" scene is that cats are "obligate nasal breathers" (automatically breathe through their nose) whereas humans can choose their nose or mouth. Cats can also breathe through their mouth, but it is a sign that something is wrong (overexertion, difficulty breathing, or other medical problem) = Get Cat to a Vet.
Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger's "performance" in this movie "merited" a nomination in the 2021 Razzies (Raspberry Awards) for WORST supporting actor, but he lost [or would that be "won"?] to Rudy Giuliani! Arnold's nomination had some good company: Chevy Chase, Shia LaBeouf, and Bruce Willis. Bruce was nominated for THREE of his movies - Breach, Hard Kill, and Survive the Night.
Trivia: Stay for hilarious outtakes after the credits with Eryka Badhu giving psychic feedback.
Trivia: Marks the fourth "Ring/Ringu" film to be directed by original "Ringu" director Hideo Nakata. Nakata had previously directed the original Japanese film "Ringu" in 1998 and its sequel "Ringu 2" in 1999. He also directed the film "The Ring Two" in the American remake series. This will be the first Japanese "Ringu" film he has directed in 20 years.
Trivia: When the screenwriter was pitching the film back in the 90's, reportedly at one meeting an executive suggested in all seriousness that Julia Roberts should play Harriet Tubman. When another person in the room mentioned that it wouldn't make any sense for the (very white) Roberts to play the role of Tubman, he responded "It was so long ago! Nobody would know the difference!"
Trivia: The Mermaid spit "ink" at Dr. Beyer in his car. This suggests a Mermaid is similar to an octopus, squid, or cuttlefish (which have "ink sacs" - though anal, not oral!) and is a type of mollusk, not fish. However, mollusks are invertebrates, and the Mermaid in the movie apparently had a spine/backbone. (01:13:28)
