Trivia: When Mario and Luigi are racing to their first plumbing job at the start of the film, there's two really fun easter eggs. First, the entire scene is shown from a profile perspective to emulate the look of the classic side-scrolling Mario games. And second, the construction equipment and supplies they are running past are arranged to look almost exactly like the layout of World 1-1 from the original "Super Mario Bros." video-game. It's subtle and easy to miss, but once you see it, it's obvious.

Trivia: Luigi's cellphone ringtone is a slightly modified version of the startup sound for Nintendo's Gamecube console.

Trivia: Nintendo originally started out in the late 1800's as a company that produced a style of playing cards called "hanafuda." In the scenes taking place in Brooklyn, you can see a billboard for hanafuda playing cards as a reference to Nintendo's more humble beginning.

Trivia: The studio was unhappy with the first cut of the film, as it was more character-driven and would have got an R-rating, whereas they wanted a dumbed-down PG-13 action movie. The studio forcibly cut about 30 minutes of character and story development scenes out, and dumped it into theaters as quickly as possible. This forced the effects teams to use unfinished renders and animatics in many scenes, which explains why the effects are so bad... the studio didn't give them time to finish them.

Trivia: Keanu Reeves remained friends with Laurence Fishburne after the original "Matrix" trilogy concluded. One day they meet for dinner and Fishburne talked about how much he loved the first "John Wick." Reeves had a script for the sequel sent to him shortly after. In less than 24 hours, Fishburne responded by saying "I'm in!"

Trivia: Grossed more in its domestic opening weekend ($56 million) than the first film made in its entire domestic release ($43 million).

Trivia: In the original ending, Mrs. Tingle didn't go to jail, and eventually made a truce with the students who were holding her captive, with everyone going free. This was changed in reshoots, as audiences felt she was so unlikeable, she needed to be "punished."

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Xander, Willow and Cordy are checking Ted's underground "apartment" and Xander opens the door, he goes from holding his flashlight down by his side to up by his head instantly between cuts.

Trivia: The movie was originally shot as an R-rated movie, but was cut down to PG-13 before release. It's most notable in the scene where Jo-Lynn re-enacts scenes from "The Exorcist." The actress had to re-dub herself screaming "F*** me!" with "Take me!" over and over again.

Trivia: Helen Mirren has given different reasons for taking the part of Mrs. Tingle. She was reportedly intrigued by the devilish role because it was unlike anything else she had ever played, and she enjoyed how the film showed the turbulence of adolescence. She also quipped that she got paid a "shitload of money" and that it was an easy job because she spend most of the film tied to a bed in a comfy nightgown making catty comments.

Trivia: The film was originally titled "Killing Mrs. Tingle" and was set to premiere earlier. After the Columbine Shooting, the film was retitled "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" due to fears that it would feel too exploitive following the tragedy. Its release date was also shifted back slightly.

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Buffy's mom sets down the carton of orange juice on the table after the golf trip, watch closely. The continuity is nightmarish. The carton rotates multiple times between cuts. The cap is on, then off, then back on again between cuts. And Buffy's mom's hand keeps moving on and off the carton between cuts.

Revealing mistake: When Buffy knocks Ted down the stairs, the camera angle gives away the fact that the last two kicks Buffy hits him with don't come close to hitting him.

Ted - S2-E11

Deliberate mistake: The second time Buffy and Ted fight, Buffy stabs Ted with a nail-file and exposes circuitry under Ted's skin, revealing he's a robot. However, the "wound" on Ted's arm is far too huge to have been exposed by a single stab from a nail-file.

Audio problem: When Willow and Jenny jump in Cordy's car, Cordy mentions that she saw "these things coming at me!" However, her mouth isn't moving for the last few words.

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After the mini-golf scene, Buffy comes down to her kitchen. Her mother greets her and sets down a carton of orange juice. In the first shot, her mother is holding the carton with both hands. But in the next shot as she sets it down, she only has one hand on the carton.

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking at the school near the beginning in front of the vending machine, watch the way Buffy is holding her pink binder. First she's holding it to her side, but shifts it in front of her chest. Instantly, in the next shot it's back by her side. Then it's back in front of her chest again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Giles and Buffy are talking at the beginning of the episode in the park, whenever Giles looks up at Buffy, you can see a light bounce card being reflected in his glasses.

Ted - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Buffy stakes the vampire that she beats up for a long time, watch when she lifts the stake. The hole in the vampire's chest is a solid 8" below where she actually hit him with the stake. (It's an effects shot, so somehow, they just didn't line up).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Plot hole: Angel says he cannot give Buffy mouth-to-mouth because vampires have "no breath." However, throughout the entire series, vampires are shown to breathe, and are able to do things like smoke, gasp, get choked out, etc. (Granted, the franchise also confirms a vampire cannot die from asphyxiation, but still they're shown to breathe regularly).
