Trivia: The bridge used in the movie was a bridge that was no longer used. The film crew bought the entire bridge from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for just 1 dollar.

Trivia: Only one shot of this entire movie was actually filmed in New York. That is the shot where they pan down, showing the Statue of Liberty and several guards walking around on it. In other parts where you see the city from afar it's actually a miniature, not the real thing. (00:06:15)

Trivia: During the beginning of the movie, as the female voice starts telling about what has happened, there is a map showing the island of Manhattan and illustrates the prison. This part was added very late in production because producer Debra Hill realized that a lot of kids in early screenings did not know that the Manhattan was an island. (00:03:10)

Trivia: If you can get to where you can see an enemy without him seeing you, and he is standing still, just sit and watch for a moment. The solders in this game can have some funny idle animations. The best is when they start swatting at the air for a moment like a bug is bothering them. Then they'll even point their gun around as if they're threatening to shoot the bug.

Trivia: On the second Surface level, one of the buildings has some models on the tables. One is a motorcycle, and one is a chopper. They are obviously models, possibly remote control toys. Shoot either one even once and it will fall off the table and explode with very deadly force.

Trivia: The blade that Gandalf presents to the high Elves and Saruman is the same blade that Frodo gets stabbed with in Fellowship of the Ring on Weathertop. Confirmed in the director's commentary. How the blade makes its way back to the witch-king hasn't been revealed.

Trivia: Kurt Russell says that the character of Snake Plissken is his favorite role he's ever played.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: This movie has approximately 1200 shots that are composed of CG animation. The director Gary Ross' previous movie, The Tale of Despereaux, was also composed of approximately 1200 CG animated shots. The Tale of Despereaux was a fully CG animated movie, yet the live action Hunger Games had just as many CG shots.

Trivia: When Hydell makes "Hairdo" open up all the stasis chambers, a prisoner steps out of one and is disoriented from still being half frozen. He steps out and falls over the edge, and lets out a Wilhelm scream. (00:18:55)

Trivia: The release date of this game in Japan, 1987-12-17, was used as Dr, Wily's Swiss Bank Account number in MegaMan 9. 19-871-217.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: The promotional commercials in Japan for this game show MegaMan using the wrong weapons against the MasterBots. Like using ThunderBeam on Gutsman, who is weak to HyperBomb.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: It is of popular belief that the stag music on ElecMan's level was inspired by the Journey song, "Faithfully" from their 1983 album called "Frontiers." The songs do indeed sound very similar, and are even played in the same key signature. However, nobody from Capcom USA or Japan has confirmed this to date. The song also has similarities to "All the Right Friends" by R.E.M.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: The names Rock and Roll are a pun, named after the musical genre. In later games more are added, like Blues (ProtoMan) as well as Bass and Treble.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: Rock, Roll and Dr. Right go unnamed throughout the whole game; they are only seen at the end. (Rock goes unnamed; NOT Rockman.) The Yellow Devil, the Copy Robot, and the seven CWU-01P(s) are also unnamed in the game, although the Copy Robot can just as well be referred to as MegaMan; it's an exact copy. Dr. Wily is the only part of his name given; there's no "Albert W." The weapons are not given names either. (M stands for Magnet, and P may stand for Power or Player.).

Quantom X ★

Trivia: In the following games, replaying a level and getting to the boss room just shows an animation of MegaMan warping away and the level ends. But MegaMan 1 is the only game where replaying a level, you have to fight the MasterBot boss all over again.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: During the time this game was in development, there was a large push for "Westernization" of Japanese game box arts. The cuteness of the character was thought not to be attractive to the eyes of the US public. That is also the reason for changing Rock to Mega, and Rockman to MegaMan. However, the designer of the was asked to make the box art for the US version of the game with little to no time before the game was actually released and never got to see any source material or the game. So he made a cover that had almost nothing to do with the game. The cover to this game is also rated one of the worst box art covers in video game history.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: This is the only game of the original series to have 6 MasterBots as level bosses. In the second game it was made 8 MasterBots which became the series standard. But only 6 in the first game.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: When Sergeant Slaughter and his men infiltrate the Cobra base, one Cobra minion activates the alarm. Reflected in his visor, you see the word INTRUDER. Watch closely, as just after that he is punched in the face. A visual joke was placed here, as soon as he is punched, the word OUCH goes across his visor. (01:00:45)

Quantom X ★

Trivia: When Pythona comes out of the river and breaches Cobra's defenses, she uses a 4 headed eel like creature to bite through the electric fence. As sparks fly, the highly recognizable sound effects used here were obviously pulled from a lightsaber duel in Star Wars. (00:07:05)

Quantom X ★

Trivia: After the opening battle, the Cobra base is shown. Several flying fighters emerge from it and fly off. The sound effects of these are blatantly pulled from the snow speeders in the Battle of Hoth in Empire Strikes Back. (00:04:15)
