Mistakes
When Dr. Doom is trying to eliminate the Fantastic Four, he makes Ben 'normal', then he freezes Reed, incapacitating him, and then he believes he destroys Johnny with the missile. He then says, "Two down, two to go." He should have said, "Three down, one to go". He thought he had taken Reed, Ben and Johnny out of the picture and he had no way to know that Ben had regained his powers. See more...
Fantastic Four (2005) - 7 trivia entries
starring Chris Evans, Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Julian McMahon, Michael Chiklis (add more)
It has been stated by FF creator Stan Lee that their powers are based on the four elements: Mr. Fantastic's stretching ability is based (loosely) on the malleability of water, the Invisible Woman's power is based invisibility of air, the Thing's rocky appearance is based on earth, and the Human Torch's is obviously based on fire.
A Fantastic Four movie was filmed in 1994 with the intention to not release the movie to the public. The film's distributor, New Horizons, had the Fantastic Four license for some time and would have lost it if they didn't make a movie promptly. When rumors circulated that Chris Columbus wanted to make a movie version of the comic, New Horizons scrambled to film their own version so they could hold onto the license for a few more years. The actors and most of the crew were unaware that the movie was never to be released, but many began to suspect it when the director made no effort to ensure any level of quality in the film. The 1994 version continues to circulate via illegal bootlegs, similar to the Star Wars Holiday Special.
The Thing suit weighed 60 pounds and required six hours to put on. It became so hot that two holes were put in (one on the back of the head, one on the posterior) to allow air conditioning units to cool down the actor inside. Michael Chiklis observed that he spent the entire time either filming or with an air conditioner stuck up his ar*e.
