Question: Why wouldn't the vampire elders just kill Deacon Frost if he's such a problem for them? It's not like they have a code of ethics to follow, plus it would send a message to any other rebellious vampires.

Spawn (1997)
Question: How exactly did they make John Leguizamo look so short? Was he just sitting on some seat concealed inside the fat suit?
Chosen answer: He is squatting the entire time in every scene. The suit probably helped in ways to balance himself whilst squatting, so he could hold on much longer than normally.

American Sniper (2014)
Trivia: Because of his role in this film, many American conservatives assumed Bradley Cooper was a Republican, only to be dismayed to find out he was a Democrat when he was spotted at the Democratic National Convention in 2016. Some even vowed to boycott his future movies over the revelation.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Deliberate mistake: When Casey is hiding behind the boxes waiting to knock out a Foot soldier and steal his outfit, you can see he is still wearing his denim vest. After he knocks out the Foot soldier, he is able to put on his entire outfit in roughly three seconds. (01:10:15)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Question: What's the deal with the awful looking costumes in this movie? Were the costumes from the previous two no longer available?
Answer: Jim Henson's Creature Shop didn't work on the third entry, so they went with someone else.
Why would Jim Henson's Creature Shop have to specifically work on the film? There were already existing suits. Shouldn't the studio have owned the suits, or did Jim Henson's Creature Shop only provide them on a rental basis?
All Effects was the company that provided the suits for the 3rd film. They had similar technology as Jim Henson's Creature Shop but underbid Jim Henson's Creature Shop to get the job.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Raphael is fighting the Foot Clan on the roof of April's building, after he tells them that they must be studying the abridged book of ninja fighting, he kicks one of them in the stomach and then cartwheels over his back to kick another one in the face. You can tell he misses the second one by a mile, but the man still groans and collapses unconscious into the chair behind him. (00:40:45)

Happy Gilmore (1996)
Question: Is there any particular reason why there is some kind of wire either hanging or protruding from the golf club when Happy hits a ball for the first time? It's most noticeable when says "Look at this stupid thing."
Chosen answer: The wire is actually some sort of line that would be wrapped around the club attaching the club head to the shaft.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
Question: When Dr. Evil demands $100 billion in 1969, the President laughs it off and says that amount of money doesn't even exist. However, the U.S. budget in 1969 was $186 billion. Does the President just mean that much physical money doesn't exist? If so, how did the government pay for things back then? Did they just reallocate funds?
Answer: I think it was just exaggerated as a gag. But he was asking for a huge amount of money that probably couldn't get pooled together. He was asking for almost 10% of the U.S. GDP and more than 50% of the budget. So it would have been like asking for $1 trillion in 1999 (or over $2 trillion today).

Independence Day (1996)
Trivia: When Steve is dragging the unconscious alien through the Bonneville Salt Flats, at one point he shouts out "What the hell is that smell!?" This was not in the script, but rather Will Smith ad-libbing in response to the strong sulfur-like smell emanating from treated wastewater near the Great Salt Lake. (01:07:40)

X-Men (1992)
The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is getting ready to attack Dark Xavier, the ticket booth behind him is unoccupied. When Dark Xavier deflects Gambit's kinetically charged playing card to the ticket booth counter, a man is now inside the booth. The bottom center window also goes from being closed to being open. (00:12:16)

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Trivia: This film marks the debut appearance in the MCU of the classic Marvel villain The Mandarin. He was referenced all the way back in the first Iron Man film and was promoted as the main antagonist of Iron Man 3, with the iteration of the character ending up being a bait and switch. Part of the reason the character took so long to make it to the screen is because of the problematic stereotypes associated with him, combined with Disney's business partnership with China.

Chosen answer: It would seem Deacon has gathered a lot of strength around himself, in followers of "young" vampires like himself. After he kills Gitano he just abducts all the vampire elders, showing his followers are a lot stronger than the elders are. So they probably couldn't have killed him even if they wanted to, not unless they want to unleash a war. They thought his pursuit of the vampire god was totally pointless, so they let him waste his time and were probably trying to find a way to get rid of him.
