Arguably, EVERYTHING is trivia.

KeyZOid

No, anything obvious, common knowledge, or easily seen by viewers is NOT trivia. Also, things unrelated to the film or those involved is not trivia.

Bishop73

The "easily seen by viewers" is a bit of a grey area, because people (well, I) do read trivia listings before seeing a movie just for background info. But I agree that not everything can be trivia - it needs to be broadly of note, although granted that's highly subjective!

Alone picture

Trivia: Some/many on-line reviewers are asserting that this movie is a remake of the South Korean movie "#Alive", but the opposite is true. "Alone" was reworked for "#Alive", but "#Alive" was released a few months earlier than "Alone" (which may explain some of the confusion).

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge picture

Trivia: After defeating Baraka, Johnny Cage quips the word "Toasty!" This is a reference to an Easter-Egg from the video-game series, in which sound designer Dan Forden would appear in the corner of the screen and say "Toasty!" in a high-pitched voice. (The word came from Forden playfully taunting his friends at video-games. He used to say things like "You're toast!" or "I predict toast!" when he was doing well. It eventually morphed into the catchphrase "Toasty!").

2067 picture

Trivia: Ethan had to be "thrown" into the future. His wild ride from the... 3, 2, 1 countdown to landing on the ground lasts about 20 intense seconds and is worth watching - that is, if you'd like to have an idea of what it looks like getting thrown into the future. (00:28:37)

Unhinged picture

Trivia: "Aggressive driving" and "Road Rage" are not the same thing, but there is some overlap: Not all aggressive driving is road rage, but road rage is an extreme form of aggressive driving. In general, aggressive driving (such as tailgating) is classified as a traffic offense or summary offense (typically punishable by a fine but can result in suspension of driver's license and possibly include a short jail sentence) whereas road rage is classified as a criminal offense (and also falls under civil offenses or torts) because the intent is to cause harm. Road rage can take the form of an aggravated assault by vehicle (felony offense); less serious incidents are sometimes written up as "reckless driving", lowering the classification to a summary (traffic) offense. When a driver becomes angry, wants to cause harm to another person/driver, and a person is injured, the driver's behavior is deemed violent and subject to criminal prosecution as a felony offense.
