Continuity mistake: After the train explodes at the end, you see a closeup of Zorro and Elena behind a small stone wall. Zorro is covering Elena, and his head is to her left and he has his hand against the wall. However, when the camera cuts to a wideshot, suddenly his head is to her right and his hand is no longer on the wall.

Trivia: The deformed baby's nickname on set was "Spike."

Trivia: David Lynch has never explained how the disturbing "baby" was created for the film, even coyly suggesting at one point that it was something he found that had been "born nearby." A popular theory is that the baby is actually an animal fetus that had been hollowed out and made into a puppet, but this has never been confirmed.

Trivia: "Twister" was the first theatrical Hollywood feature-film released on the DVD format. While a few other films had been released on the format prior, they were primarily direct-to-video B-movies and documentaries that were never shown in theaters.

Trivia: Originally, there were many more scenes set in Kansas at the start of the film, including a scene of Dorothy and Aunt Em painting their faces and Belina getting into the kitchen of the farmhouse. They were removed for pacing reasons, so Dorothy would arrive in Oz earlier and the story could get moving.

Trivia: The scenes featuring Ozma at the end of the film had to be reshot months later after filming had wrapped. Originally, Ozma wore a long, regal golden-colored gown. During editing, the crew realised that due to the lighting and all the gold paint used on set, Ozma blended in too much with the background, like she was wearing camouflage. They then scrambled to reshoot the scene, with Ozma now wearing a white and green dress to help her stand out.

Trivia: Director Walter Murch's daughter redubbed the voice of Princess Ozma, as it was decided in post-production that the original actress' British accent didn't quite suit the role.

Trivia: The film's interpretation of the Emerald City and Mombi's castle are featured as a location on the Storybrook Land Canal Boat attraction at Disneyland Paris.

Trivia: Among others, Drew Barrymore and Alanis Morissette auditioned for and were considered for the part of Dorothy before Fairuza Balk was cast.

Trivia: Fairuza Balk did all of her own stunts in the film, which is something of a rarity for child actors.

Trivia: Christopher Lloyd and Tim Curry were both considered for the part of Dr. Worley/The Nome King.

Trivia: Alan Ritchson, who portrays Rafael in this film and the sequel "Out of the Shadows," has stated that the actors portraying the four turtles were mistreated on-set and by the studio. As they were technically portraying animated characters through motion capture, their contracts were reportedly "full of loopholes" that didn't afford them equal treatment with the rest of the live-action cast, despite them being on-set full-time doing grueling work in motion-capture suits. One particular instant included the four turtle actors being kicked off set at the end of a 14-hour day without transportation home, while the rest of the cast and crew were given rides. They also weren't paid overtime like the rest of the crew, were barred from giving interviews despite portraying the titular characters, weren't invited to the premier, and were subsequently denied back-end profit shares from the sequel that they had been promised.

Trivia: Early on in production, the film was actually meant to be an epic two-part story. Part one would be called "Phoenix," while part two would be called "Dark Phoenix." The studio eventually pulled the plug on the second film for unknown reasons, forcing writer/director Simon Kinberg to fold the scripts together into one single film. Many elements of the story fell by the wayside when this happened since they couldn't be fit into one single film.

Continuity mistake: Throughout the "Everybody Needs Somebody" song number, pay attention to the band member in the background smoking a pipe. More specifically, watch the smoke coming out of his pipe. Sometimes it's consistent from shot to shot, but at other times, it changes completely. (Ex. When Jake sings "When my soul's on fire," all of the smoke disappears between cuts).

Trivia: Co-writer Josh Stolberg has confirmed that the movie will take place in the same "universe" as the previous eight "Saw" films, but won't be a direct sequel. Instead, it will focus on a new story and new characters.

Trivia: The film is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman. He previously directed "Saw II," "Saw III" and "Saw IV," before taking a step back from the series to work on other projects. He decided to return to the series to direct this entry.

Trivia: The film's working title was "The Organ Donor."

Trivia: This Japanese horror film, and its 2005 American remake, are notable for having eerie similarities to a real-life case. Elisa Lam was a student who disappeared in Los Angeles in 2013. Her body was later found in a water-tank at the hotel where she was staying after other guests complained their water was discolored and had a strange taste. A security tape featuring a distressed Lam was also released to the public. To this day, the circumstances of Lam's death remain partially unknown, and there are many conspiracy theories revolving around the case.

Trivia: This film is directed by Hideo Nakata and based on a novel by Koji Suzuki. Nakata had previously directed the film "Ring" (also known as "Ringu"), which was also based on a novel by Suzuki.
