Trivia: When Frank D'Amico and Red Mist assume that their chief bodyguard (called Huge Goon in the movie's credits) has finished Hit-Girl, Frank calls for him with the name "Stu," the actor's real name. Not necessarily a mistake, given the bodyguard is otherwise unnamed.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Trivia: When King Théoden rallies his men before the first charge into the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, he rides along the first rank of his army brushing their lances with his sword.

X-Men 3 (2006)
Trivia: The combat simulation the X-Men are running on their first appearance in the film features the dread Sentinel robots. Originally, these were meant to appear in the second movie already, but the idea was scrapped. The simulation also bears a close reference to the parallel comic storyline and later movie X-Men: Days of Future Past, where the Sentinels rebelled against humanity, killed most of Earth's superheroes and erected a totalitarian regime in the US.

X-Men 2 (2003)

In X2, in the sequence where Xavier inadvertently attacks the mutants around the world, it was originally decided that McCoy should be shown mutating into the blue-furred form in which he appears in X3. The idea was dropped from the final cut, however.
