Trivia: The waiter who asks Jane and the others if they'd like to order lunch is played by YouTuber Matthew Patrick, who has a video series called "Game Theory" and has done dozens of videos based around the "Five Nights at Freddy's" video-games. Him saying "That's just a theory!" when someone mentions breakfast being called "the most important meal of the day", is an inside joke. (He ends every "Game Theory" video by saying "That's just a theory... a game theory!").

Trivia: The filmmakers wanted to honor the fact that the villains are animatronic robots and decided to use practical effects instead of CGI. The Jim Henson Creature Shop actually built fully-functional animatronic puppets for each character, in addition to suits that could be worn by actors for movements that were too complex for the animatronics to do.

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Maddie says, "How the fuck am I supposed to pay my taxes just bartending?!" her hands go from being in front of her to down by her sides between cuts.

Trivia: Dammers' death was originally far less graphic, with him being shot in the chest and there being little-to-no on-screen blood. However, the MPAA gave the movie an R-rating, shocking director Peter Jackson since he shot it to be PG-13. As an act of defiance, he went back and used CGI to change Dammers' death and make it far more graphic and "R-rated," by having his head explode with a fountain of blood and gore. Dammers' original death was later used in the edited-for-TV version of the film.

Trivia: Gary Oldman did the movie as a favor to Luc Besson, who helped him raise money for another film he was trying to make. Oldman reportedly wasn't too keen on the film... in fact, he hated it and didn't understand why so many people found it appealing. When asked what he thought about it being a major cult-classic in an interview once, he simply laughed and said, "I know, I know... that's just the wacky world we live in!"

Trivia: The giant indoors explosion at Fhloston Paradise was actually the largest indoor explosion ever filmed. It was so huge, the fire actually almost burned down the soundstage, and it took nearly a half-hour to get it under control.

Trivia: Model and actress Maïwenn wasn't originally supposed to play the diva. However, for whatever reason, the original actress cast just... never showed up for filming. Since Maïwenn was married to director Luc Besson at the time and was around set, she was recruited to fill in for the part at the last minute.

Trivia: The Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon would later make a cameo in the DC comics movie "Blue Beetle", as a weapon briefly conjured up by the Blue Beetle suit.

TedStixon

Trivia: One of the first weapons the suit creates is an almost exact replica of the Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon System from the movie "The Fifth Element." The only major difference being that it's blue instead of the original tan camouflage color.

Continuity mistake: When Jim walks over to Maddie and Sarah after surfing at the beginning of the film, the board flips instantly between cuts between the second and third shot. (The fins are facing him in the first two shots, then facing away in the third.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie and Sara are telling Jim about all the reasons they've had sex with men, the pile of whittled wood chips in front of Jim vanishes between cuts right as the scene is about to end.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is reading the Craigslist ad, she goes from handing Sarah back her phone with her left hand to suddenly having her left hand up under her chin instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is talking to her pregnant friend Sara while she's folding napkins at the beginning, the way her friend is holding her phone changes multiple times between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is put on napkin-folding duty at the beginning of the film, the way she's folding and stacking the napkins and silverware changes multiple times between cuts. Ex. At one point a napkin appears in front of her that wasn't there in the previous shot. Some of the silverware moves around between shots. Etc.

Audio problem: When Maddie is at her job and she says, "These people are the reason I'm losing my house!" pay attention. The word "house" doesn't quite match when the shot cuts from a wide shot to a medium shot.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie's car gets pulled back up on the by the tow-truck with her inside, the angle of the car in the wideshots doesn't match the background when we see the shot of Maddie inside. (Ex. At one point, the ground behind Maddie looks almost "level" even though the car was at a near-45 degree angle in the wideshot prior.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie tries to steal her car back from Gary, there are two girls sitting out front of the little food stand he's shopping at. At one point, they notice what's going on and get up and start walking towards the car. But then they're suddenly back to sitting a few shots later and "notice" it a second time.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Maddie is talking to Gary, the way her hair is down over her shoulders changes subtly between shots a few times despite the fact she's not moving much.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie comes out of her house at the beginning, she has her bathrobe open. She closes it, but doesn't tie it shut. It's suddenly tied shut starting in the next shot. (She's facing away from the camera, but you can tell it's tied shut from how tight the "belt" is around her waist.)

Trivia: The plot was reportedly inspired by a real Craigslist ad, one of the producers saw online. They brought it to Jennifer Lawrence, who fell in love with the concept and joined the production as both star and producer.
