Trivia: So much pink paint was used for set production in this film that it actually led to a global shortage.
Trivia: This film features appearances from WWE alumni John Cena and Dwayne Johnson. There used to be real-life acrimony between the two, as Cena was critical of Johnson for leaving the WWE to pursue a film career, alleging he abandoned his fans and the business he claimed to love. Cena would later apologize for this disposition after pursuing a film career of his own, acknowledging that he didn't make the effort to view things from Johnson's perspective.
Trivia: The way Donna attempts to get the bus stopped is a direct nod to the 1994 movie Speed. The bus driver is even named Sam, the same as the driver in that film.
Trivia: Willem Dafoe previously played Max Schreck (and by extension, Count Orlok) in Shadow of the Vampire, which is a fictionalized telling of the filming of the 1922 Nosferatu film.
Trivia: Robert Downey Jr. declared this was "the best film I've ever been in" at the UK premiere.
Trivia: Following the release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", co-star Jim Carrey stated that he was considering retiring from acting, as he felt he had "done enough" in the film industry and was becoming somewhat burned out. However, he eventually agreed to star in this film because he loves playing the evil-genius Dr. Robotnik. Carrey also laughingly admitted that the huge paycheck he got was one of the deciding factors, especially because he "buys a lot of stuff."
Trivia: Before release, the film became symbolic of a strange issue for cinema-goers, with many cinemas stating that singing along with the film wasn't allowed as it's disruptive to other people who came to watch the movie. "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo and action-movie star Dwayne Johnson stated that they support singing along with movies, drawing extremely mixed responses, with some praising them, but many more harshly criticizing them for supporting behaviour that could be seen as extremely rude.
