Audio problem: When Shelly is being wheeled away in the beginning, she makes a strained gasping sound right before they put the oxygen mask back on her. But her gasp doesn't match her mouth movements. In fact, it's impossible to make the sound she made with the mouth movements she made. Try it yourself. It almost looks like she's saying "F**k" or something similar, and they just dubbed it over with a gasp. Additionally, the gasp is far too loud and clear given how softly she's speaking. Bad looping.

Deliberate mistake: When Eric first enters his old apartment, watch very closely. When he first wanders in the room, his body has a slightly weird jitter and blur to it that doesn't quite match his movements. This is because the footage of Eric walking through the doorway is actually taken from the scene in the alley. They "cut" Brandon Lee out of that scene and inserted him into the apartment since they didn't have a shot of him. But unfortunately, it has some odd "glitches" due the footage not quite matching.

Trivia: YouTuber Jay Bauman from RedLetterMedia was actually an extra during the filming of one scene, but quit before it was done shooting because he hated the long hours.

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action-scene, as Rick backs away from the wall when the raiders start to leap over, there's a shot behind him where the camera pulls back... and you can see a near-perfect row of white markers (likely for the extras or actors) in the sand. There's at least five of them in a line.

Revealing mistake: In the first shot of the movie, the camera moves from the Sphinx through a town square. If you pay attention to the people in the crowd, it becomes painfully obvious which people are real (who were filmed in front of a green screen and composed into the scene) and which people are CGI. There's at least 4 (likely more) CGI people in the town square to populate it more, and they all noticeably move with a stiff, generic "walk-cycle" and even look slightly "blocky," like they're low-polygon models.

Trivia: Star Rooney Mara reportedly hated the script and only took the lead because she needed a career boost. She said the experience making the film was awful, though she has not divulged exactly why. Her experience making the film and its very poor reception even nearly made her quit the industry before David Fincher cast her in his films "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which garnered her critical acclaim and revitalized her career.

Trivia: Original series star Robert Englund was very supportive of the film during production, but admitted after it came out that he disliked how it turned out, feeling Krueger's makeup design was poor and that the characters weren't likeable or empathetic enough.

Trivia: Around the time of the movie's release, the creators and studios behind the "Jackass" franchise were sued by a man who had legally changed his name to "Jack Ass" in the 90's to raise awareness of drunk driving. Mr. Ass (don't laugh) sought over $10 million in damages, claiming that the franchise would ruin his reputation, but the case was eventually tossed out by the court, presumably because "jackass" is a very common word.

Trivia: The Crypt Keeper's eyes are actually taken from another famous animatronic monster... Chucky the killer doll! The Crypt Keeper was made by the same special effects wizards that created Chucky, and they decided to reuse some of the eyes they made for Chucky when they created the Crypt Keeper puppets, since they fit the design. (Albeit they were ever-so-slightly repainted to look a bit more "rotted").

Other mistake: During the opening action scene, as Rick is firing the pistols after he backs up from the outer wall (shortly before he finds Beni and is locked outside the tomb), pay attention... you can see that many of the extras in the background aren't really doing much of anything even though the two groups are supposedly in battle. A lot of the raiders and doreign legion members are just standing around or aimlessly walking. Only a few of them are (poorly) pretending to "fight." (00:09:50)

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening action scene, when the raiders start firing their guns towards the French Foreign Legion, there's a wide-shot of several French troops being killed, and a few of them fall over a balcony to their death. As some of the soldiers on the left side of screen fall of screen and land behind some piles of sand, you can briefly see the edge of an air bag (or some other form of padding) pop up a few times with each one. (00:09:06)

Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning of the film, when Ardeth Bay is first seen and talking about how "We, the Medjai, the descendants of pharaoh's bodyguards, kept watch," look closely. You can see the shadow of the camera move up Ardeth's horse's head as it closes in on him.

Trivia: The original script was written in 1990, but no studio was interested. When "Scream" became a hit, Miramax quickly bought the script and hired "Scream" writer Kevin Williamson to rewrite it to make it more hip and funny. Williamson was originally going to direct the film, but chose to instead direct the black comedy "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," since that film was based on an original script he wrote. Unfortunately, that film flopped while "The Faculty" was successful and became a cult favorite.

Trivia: Eric Freeman plays the lead Ricky and was criticized for his performance. According to Freeman, nobody agreed on how the role should be played, and the crew would ask him to perform scenes in wildly different ways, which is part of the reason his performance is so unnatural. For example, he wanted Ricky to be cold and quiet, while the director wanted him to be a wisecracking smartass, and the writer wanted him to be over-the-top and absolutely nuts. His performance is thus an odd mish-mash.

Trivia: The animated sequences were actually filmed in live-action with the actors on-set, and then rotoscoped with 2D animation. Director James Gunn wanted to emulate the films of Ralph Bakshi, which often employed similar techniques of live-action footage being rotoscoped with animation.

Trivia: When it's severed, Anton's hand is portrayed by the hand of actor and magician Christopher Hart. If that name is familiar, it's because Hart actually briefly made a career of playing disembodied hands. He played "Thing" in the 1991's "The Addams Family," "Addams Family Values" and "Addams Family Reunion." He played Anton's severed hand in this film. Then he played two animated severed hands in the television show "Angel," in the episode "I Fall to Pieces." He has an... oddly specific career.

Trivia: When Walt blows up Tuco's office, listen closely. Mixed in with the screams is a distinct sound of a man shouting "Yeah!" That is a clip of the infamous "Dean Scream." In 2004, democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean let out an excited "Yeah!" after giving a rousing, over-the-top speech. However, his giddiness and the scream were viewed as unprofessional by the public, and the moment briefly made Dean into a laughing stock in the media. The scream then became an infamous soundbite.

Trivia: When Mario briefly walks by the antique store, a Toad asks if the gizmo he is holding works, and the shopkeeper in the background can just barely be heard saying the Toad might have to blow into it to make it work. This is a cute callback to the popular theory that blowing into Nintendo cartridges makes them work better, since it helps get rid of dust that could block the connectors... although it's not unanimously agreed that this actually works.

Trivia: Every episode starts with the word "Kimmy" and is followed by a brief description. (Ex. "Kimmy Goes on a Date!") Only two episodes don't follow this rule, and both are in the fourth and final season. "Party Monster: Scratching the Surface" is primarily based around the Reverend character, so Kimmy's name is not in the title, and "Sliding Van Doors" is an "alternate history" episode referencing the movie Sliding Doors, showing how the series would play out if Kimmy was never captured, hence a different title since it's non-canon.

Trivia: The character Titus famously sings a song called "Peeno Noir" (derived from "pinot noir", a type of wine) in season one. The song became such a viral hit that actor Tituss Burgess actually started selling wine for a brief period of time, including of course a pinot noir.
