TedStixon

Trivia: Originally intended to be a sequel to "Beverly Hills Ninja," and was written and co-directed by one of the writers of that film, but was eventually retooled into a stand-alone film. There are still some minor similarities and similar bits of dialogue, however.

Trivia: The film is written by Samuel D. Hunter, who also wrote the original stage-play. The play and film were inspired partially by Hunter's own life as a gay man who had struggled with eating disorders in the past.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After Cordelia wins May Queen, Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking, and right before she walks away, you can blatantly see an on-set light reflector being reflected in Buffy's sunglasses.

Nightmares - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Buffy goes to find Giles, who is going through newspapers, she asks him if he's found anything and he says "I don't know." Between shots Buffy goes from looking at him to glancing downwards with her eyes and then looking back up again between cuts.

TedStixon

Trivia: The film has had some controversy with the use of an actor wearing a prosthetic "fat suit," and perceived "fatphobic" themes. Director Darren Aronofsky defended the film, saying that he wanted to create a realistic film that showed characters who aren't all good or all bad, and that he didn't understand why the prosthetics for his film were specifically being criticized, as special effects makeup have always been a tool used by actors and films.

TedStixon

Trivia: Director Darren Aronofsky wanted to make the film ever since the play it's based on debuted, but struggled to find the right actor to play Charlie. He happened to see a trailer for a film starring Brendan Fraser and realised he was the perfect actor for the role.

TedStixon

Trivia: The prosthetic suit Brendan Fraser had to wear for the film weighed nearly 300 pounds, caused his muscles great strain and would leave him with vertigo when it'd be removed at the end of the day. He said that wearing it gave him much more respect and empathy for people who struggle with obesity, as he realised how strong they have to be both physically and mentally.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the earthquake happens at the start of the episode, and we see the Master celebrating, his hands instantly change positions at least twice between cuts. (Sometimes it matches perfectly between cuts other times they're in an entirely different position between cuts).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy stakes the first vampire at the beginning, in the first shot, his hands are in towards his abdomen. When the camera cuts behind him, and he falls back, suddenly they're instantly extended partially outwards to either side.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Cordy stops kissing her boyfriend and says "What was that?" at the beginning of the episode, the lighting on Cordy's face changes completely as it cuts between the two camera angles. In the first angle, the lighting is much darker and shadowy, while in the second angle, her face is suddenly much brighter.

Trivia: Co-star Pedro Pascal actually is a massive Nicolas Cage fan and was thrilled to get the part of Javi, an obsessive fan. Pascal has said that Cage wasn't nearly as weird or eccentric in real life as you might expect based on his reputation, and was totally professional every day.

TedStixon

Trivia: There's a subtle meta-joke in the end credits scroll. While Nicolas Cage is credited as playing "Nick Cage," the imaginary "Nicky" is credited as being played by "Nicholas Kim Coppola," which is Nicolas Cage's legal name. (He adopted "Nicolas Cage" as a stage name after his first few films.) As "Nicky" is supposed to be an imaginary representation of his younger self, they credited him as being played by Nicolas Cage's original name that he used to use before he chose his stage name.

TedStixon

Trivia: Nicolas Cage suggested swapping parts with Pedro Pascal at one point, and having Pascal plays the "character" of Nicolas Cage while Cage would play his biggest fan Javi. He thought it might give the movie a weird, extra-meta edge. But the idea was quickly dropped when he realised Pascal was perfect for the part of Javi.

TedStixon

Trivia: In the movie, all of Nicolas Cage's tattoos are hidden with makeup and his nickname is spelled "Nick" instead of the usual "Nic" to subtly indicate that while the character is indeed inspired by the real-life Nicolas Cage, it's an exaggerated "movie version" of him.

TedStixon

Trivia: Nicolas Cage originally didn't want to make the film, as he felt uncomfortable with the idea of playing himself in a movie. The director wrote him a very nice note, explaining why the movie was important to him and how they wanted to celebrate Cage's wild and varied career, which won Cage over.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: After Buffy cuts herself out of her chair, she unties Cordy's left wrist. The scene cuts away to Giles, Xander, Willow and Angel. When the scene cuts back to Buffy and Cordy, suddenly Cordy's wrist is tied again. There's no indication that it was retied in the meantime.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Cordy and Buffy are tied up, at one point Marcie the invisible girl punches Buffy. As it cuts from a closeup of Buffy back to a wideshot, the position of Buffy's head and the expression of her face instantly changes between cuts. She goes from having her head crooked with a pained expression and her eyes half-shut to having her head straight with a shocked expression and her eyes wide open.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Giles, Willow and Xander are trapped in the storage room with the leaking gas, at one point you can blatantly see a massive set-light reflected in Giles glasses. (This is fairly common, as often lights are reflected in his glasses, but it's particularly noticeable here).

TedStixon

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When the invisible girl pushes Buffy, and she falls through the ceiling and onto a table, the position of Buffy's arms changes slightly between edits when it cuts to a high-angle shot of her knocked out. Some of the debris around her also changes position.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Audio problem: When Cordy and Buffy are talking and Cordy says "Well it beats being alone all by yourself, " pay attention. It's clear that part of the line was dubbed in, as there is a very hard cut between the words "Well" and "It."
