Fallout (2024)
Trivia: Cooper/The Ghoul makes a comment about being "sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time" at one point during the first season. This is a reference to the video games, which feature dozens and dozens of side-quests that players can complete, and often can distract the player from the main narrative.

Serial Mom (1994)
Trivia: Kathleen Turner almost didn't take the lead role because she finds gory movies too disturbing. At first she said she would only be in the film if the violence was portrayed cartoonishly and unrealistically. Director John Waters convinced her that the violence needed to be portrayed very realistically, because that would be even funnier... the absurdity of so much twisted violence coming out of a seemingly perfect sitcom-style housewife. Turner eventually agreed with Waters and signed on.

Man's Best Friend (1993)
Trivia: When Max is chasing the cat, the scene was accomplished by training the cat and dog together so they'd be comfortable. The cat was being trained to run towards a toy, while the dog was trained to run towards a trainer making hand signals a short distance away from the cat-toy. If you pay very close attention, there's actually one point in the scene where you can tell that they're running in ever-so-slightly different directions.

Community (2009)
Trivia: Creator Dan Harmon was fired during season four and rehired for season five. Harmon attracted some controversy when he finally watched season four and made several vulgar jokes about it, as he felt it was like an "unflattering impression." He later apologized and stated that he had a lot of respect for the writers and season four showrunners for trying their hardest to replicate his work and keep the show alive, and said he thought many of the jokes and the Rachel character were great.

Silent House (2011)
Continuity mistake: After Sarah finds her father in the bedroom and goes downstairs to get help, the blood pattern on her shirt/upper breasts changes. While the movie is edited to look like one continuous shot, it was filmed in bits and pieces, and the blood pattern was not consistent in some of the shots, it seems.

Trivia: Chad Stahelski was a close friend of Brandon Lee and was working as his stunt-double on the film. After Lee tragically died, Stahelski served as his body double for unfinished scenes. Stahelski later became famous as a film director, helming all four "John Wick" films. Due to Lee's death, he is reportedly incredibly strict on his sets when it comes to firearms safety.

Scream 2 (1997)
Trivia: In an attempt to manipulate the MPAA into giving the movie an R-rating, Wes Craven sent them a copy of the film that was far more violent than he actually wanted the movie to be. His idea was that when they demanded cuts so it wouldn't be NC-17, he could submit his actual director's cut with less violence, and they'd likely accept it. To his horror and amusement, they gave the far more violent version an R-rating. Regardless, he still released his less violent cut of the film in theaters.

Revealing mistake: When Chucky is sawing Michelle in half, as her body starts to split, a few times you can briefly see where her body has been "pre-scored" to split apart as the chainsaw moves down.
