Arguably, EVERYTHING is trivia.

KeyZOid

No, anything obvious, common knowledge, or easily seen by viewers is NOT trivia. Also, things unrelated to the film or those involved is not trivia.

Bishop73

The "easily seen by viewers" is a bit of a grey area, because people (well, I) do read trivia listings before seeing a movie just for background info. But I agree that not everything can be trivia - it needs to be broadly of note, although granted that's highly subjective!

American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules picture

Trivia: After the small metal ball fell on the floor and rolled toward Grant, Grant asked Michelle, "Is that a Ben WA ball?" and Michelle replied, " Yeah." Ben WA balls are also known as "Kegel Balls." Ben WA balls are inserted into the vagina, either as a sex toy or supposedly as part of Kegel exercises to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. (The balls are not necessary to perform the Kegel exercises and it is questionable if they even work). (00:21:05)

Run (2020)

Run picture

Trivia: There are several subtle references to the 2018 film "Searching" in this movie. Most notably, the stock-photo model Hannah from "Searching" is briefly seen in this film in a thumbnail image for a YouTube video. Director Aneesh Chaganty has stated that this was intentional, and that "Searching," "Run" and by extension, "Missing" (the semi-sequel to "Searching") are all set within the same cinematic universe.

Alone picture

Trivia: Some/many on-line reviewers are asserting that this movie is a remake of the South Korean movie "#Alive", but the opposite is true. "Alone" was reworked for "#Alive", but "#Alive" was released a few months earlier than "Alone" (which may explain some of the confusion).

Unhinged picture

Trivia: "Aggressive driving" and "Road Rage" are not the same thing, but there is some overlap: Not all aggressive driving is road rage, but road rage is an extreme form of aggressive driving. In general, aggressive driving (such as tailgating) is classified as a traffic offense or summary offense (typically punishable by a fine but can result in suspension of driver's license and possibly include a short jail sentence) whereas road rage is classified as a criminal offense (and also falls under civil offenses or torts) because the intent is to cause harm. Road rage can take the form of an aggravated assault by vehicle (felony offense); less serious incidents are sometimes written up as "reckless driving", lowering the classification to a summary (traffic) offense. When a driver becomes angry, wants to cause harm to another person/driver, and a person is injured, the driver's behavior is deemed violent and subject to criminal prosecution as a felony offense.

Don't Tell a Soul picture

Trivia: Many people are familiar with the "Stockholm Syndrome" wherein hostages or kidnapping victims develop a connection with their offenders - they identify with or feel empathy for the people holding them captive. The "Stockholm Syndrome" is also known as "capture bonding." Its lesser-known opposite (or inverse) is called the "Lima Syndrome" - the hostage-takers or kidnappers start identifying with or "feeling for" their victims; they bond. This movie portrays BOTH, but with a different crime.
