Trivia: The footage of the parade was shot well before production officially began or a script was written. The crew just decided to shoot footage of the parade for production value, then wrote a scene around it.

Trivia: The reporter during the parade scene is played by famous film director Sam Raimi in a cameo appearance.

Trivia: "Star Trek: Generations" was the first ever film to have an official website made to promote it.

Trivia: When Scott goes sub-atomic during the climax, pay close attention. For a very brief instant, there are a few flash-frames of a human figure, and a human silhouette can briefly be seen reflected on Scott's mask. It's very easy to miss the first time you watch the movie. These are indeed meant to be hints that Hank's wife Janet is still alive in the quantum realm.

Trivia: Ghost is typically portrayed as an unnamed male in the comic books. Director Peyton Reed said the decision to make Ghost a woman was made simply because they thought it was "more interesting." They felt that given the fact that Ghost in the comics has never been given a definitive true identity, they could completely reinterpret the character to fit the film.

Trivia: In order to prepare for the film and get to know each other, the principal cast actually held a game night shortly before shooting began.

Trivia: Major Spoilers: In the beginning of the movie, when Max and Annie are kissing on the subway, there's a scrolling LED display behind them. If you pay attention, the screen reads "Don't trust Gary." This is (pretty blatant) foreshadowing towards the twist where Gary is revealed to have staged the kidnapping of Brooks to create his own "game night."

Trivia: The trivia announcer at the start of the film is played by co-director John Francis Daley in a cameo.

I remember seeing trailers for a TV show a while back. It was either the very late 90's or the early 2000's. (I'm leaning more towards early-2000's.) I don't remember too much, but it was about a cop who had something wrong with his mind. He was a little unhinged and didn't seem to have any sort-of mental filter... like it he had a thought, he would immediately verbalize it without control. Ex. I swear I could remember a bit in the trailer where he was talking about having a song stuck in his head, and he was like babbling about it to someone in a car. It might have been as a result of an injury or like a mental breakdown or something. If I recall correctly, it was a hard-boiled cop show and I'm pretty sure it was on one of the major networks. Does this ring anyone's bell? (For reference, I'm in the US, so it was most likely an American show).

Trivia: Natalie Portman originally exited the MCU due to her being unhappy with the production of "Thor: The Dark World" for various reasons, including the firing of original director Patty Jenkins. After she agreed to do a small voice-over cameo in "Avengers: Endgame" as a favor to the production, she agreed to take a meeting with director Taika Waititi. According to producer Kevin Feige, Waititi quickly won her over and convinced her to return to the MCU by the end of the meeting.

Trivia: With this movie, Thor will become the first MCU hero to have four stand-alone movies. He's also the first Marvel character overall to have four stand-alone movies within the same franchise. The closest before then was when Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 was in pre-production before being canceled and rebooted.

I remember seeing a haunted-house movie on TV in the early/mid 90's. I don't remember much about it outside of a scene where the family cat is found dead early in the film. (I think it was a black or darker-colored cat, and I seem to remember there's blood on or around it, too, but I'm not 100%.) That's literally all I remember. It may have been a TV movie just from what I recall based on how it looked. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I remember a cartoon we used to have on VHS back when I was a kid. So the cartoon would have been from sometime in the 80's or at very latest the early 90's. I think it might have been Japanese, but I'm not sure. I just remember there was either a light pink or baby-blue creature that I wanna say was a dragon (I can't remember what color it was)... but it would float on the water. The only comparison I can make is that it kind of looked like a "Lapras" from "Pokemon." I wanna say it was a movie, but it honestly could have just been a few back-to-back episodes of a series on the tape we had. Does this ring anyone's bell? I've been curious about it for years, because I have memories of watching it, but can't remember what it's called.

Trivia: Charlie Cox auditioned for the role of Loki. While he didn't get the part, he would later go on to play another Marvel character - "Daredevil" from the MCU Netflix series.

Continuity mistake: When Howard is killed, he's set on fire by all the explosions. Yet just a few seconds later in a wideshot, he's no longer on fire.

TedStixon

Trivia: As a bit of an easter-egg, Mel Gibson included a single-frame of an actor dressed as Wally/Waldo from the "Where's Wally/Waldo?" book series in the theatrical version of the film. It was reportedly seen as being in poor taste, so it was removed from the initial DVD release. However, he was allegedly added back into the film for the Blu-Ray release.

Trivia: The final movie in the MCU that was shot entirely on 35mm film. Starting with the next film ("Captain America: The First Avenger"), the series moved into primarily digital photography.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When the car Howard Saint is tied to explodes, watch Howard's body - it's clear that he's been replaced with a hilariously obvious dummy. It's especially comical if you look at his legs, because it appears that the dummy doesn't even have legs inside of its pants given how they "wobble."

Trivia: The studio originally wanted Amanda Seyfried for the role of Gamora. But despite loving the screenplay, Seyfried feared that given the obscure nature of the characters and the inherent weirdness of the script, the movie would bomb at the box office. She didn't want to be in the only MCU film to fail commercially. The film ended up going on to be a massive success, and Seyfried has expressed some regret over the decision.

Revealing mistake: When Frank kills Howard Saint at the end of the film, pay close attention when the cars start to explode. About a second-and-a-half after the first explosion, the camera cuts to a high-angle shot looking down at the cars exploding. Pay attention and you can see a lot of errors. For example, there are two cars (one red and one blue) on the right side of the screen that are teeny-tiny models and aren't properly blended into the background with blurry edges around them. Additionally, the three cars on the bottom left of the screen also have noticeable black lines around them. (Likely from a poor compositing job.) It appears the shot was created with different miniatures layered over a background plate, and the various miniatures weren't properly comped into the shot.
