Jackie Brown (1997)

Trivia: Max Cherry tells Jackie about a procedure he had done on his hair. When Robert Forster (who plays Max) was first talking to Quentin Tarantino about the role, he told Tarantino that he had a procedure done to give himself more hair. They decided to write that in for the character of Max.

Snatch (2000)

Trivia: When Mickey and Turkish are discussing the terms of the bet regarding the rabbit, one of the dogs lunges at Mickey, being played by Brad Pitt. Clearly, this was unscripted, but Brad Pitt stays in character and calls the dog an expletive in the character's accent.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Magic Man - S5-E1

Trivia: Robert Forster filmed his scene in this episode at the same time that he filmed his scene in El Camino. He is having a phone conversation with Bob Odenkirk, but Odenkirk shot his part later. Unfortunately, Forster passed months earlier (coincidentally on El Camino's release date) and sadly never got to see his work in neither this nor El Camino.

Trivia: When we see the Elvis impersonators in the middle of the movie, one of them is a small child. That is a very young Bruno Mars.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Trivia: Filmmakers attention to detail: When Angel first arrives at his new place and calls the old lady a hag, if you rewind and look at the crossword puzzle, that is indeed the clue and answer for 12 down.

Frequency (2000)

Trivia: Towards the beginning, when Frank is teaching John how to ride a bike, John is wearing the badge and whistle that gets mentioned later in the movie.

Trivia: When Abbott is going through Axel Foley's file, the first page is a report on the Victor Maitland incident from the first movie. The photo is covering most of it, but if you pause it (which I believe is permissible for trivia entries), you can tell that the report is almost exactly how Bogomil recited it to the police chief in the first movie. It also has Bogomil's signature.

Trivia: When Axel first arrives in Beverly Hills, he gets arrested by two female officers, driving the very small police car. One of the officers is Eddie Murphy's real-life daughter.

Die Hard 2 (1990)

Trivia: Most major airlines wisely did not show this movie for their in-flight entertainment, due to the scenes of airplanes crashing.

Trivia: Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, is a character in the movie. When he is introduced, he introduces himself as "Fleming, Ian Fleming", which is a nod to how James Bond has introduced himself throughout the years.

Trivia: The scene when Ramona delivers the package to Scott and he signs for it, he takes the package and throws it over his shoulder into the trash can, some several feet behind him. In the outtakes reel, they show that no special effects were used. Michael Cera made the shot over his shoulder on his 33rd attempt.

Breaking Bad (2008)

Season 2 generally

Trivia: For most of season 2, Skyler is pregnant, but Anna Gunn (who plays Skyler) was not. The opposite is the case for the character of Marie: Betsy Brandt (who plays Marie) was pregnant during season 2, even though Marie was never pregnant during the show. In an episode early in season 2, we see Skyler rubbing lotion on her belly. That is Betsy Brandt's pregnant belly standing in for the close-up shots.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Mabel - S3-E1

Trivia: As Jimmy is showing a lady client out the door, she mentions a "Lily of the Valley" flower. That flower was part of a huge plot point in Breaking Bad - the Season 4 finale closed with a shot of it growing in Walter White's garden, showing that he had poisoned a child.

Californication (2007)

The Trial - S4-E10

Trivia: At the beginning, Hank is putting on a suit and says, "I look like an FBI agent." A nod to one of Duchovny's more famous roles: FBI agent Mulder on The X-Files.

Suggested correction: This is not true, he's actually singing "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream".

Big Game

Trivia: Towards the beginning of the movie, we see that Los Pollos Hermanos has become a restaurant called "Twisters." This is also what happened to the filming location in real life, and is still in business as Twisters to this day.
