The Wicker Man (1973)

Trivia: Edward Woodward saw the Wicker Man structure for the first time on the day the climax was shot, so his cry "Oh, God. Oh, Jesus Christ" is part him acting and part his own genuine reaction.

Trivia: Voice recording sessions were all done ensemble, with the cast together in the same room. In order to generate the manic energy required to play the Joker, Mark Hamill was the only actor permitted to perform his lines standing up.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One - S5-E9

Trivia: One question Marv Wolfman continues to get asked at fan conventions is why he killed Kara off in the "Crisis" comics. With so many characters established as having survived Krypton's destruction - including Clark, Kara, Krypto the Superdog, criminals banished to the Phantom Zone, and the bottled Kandor - his goal was to make Superman unique as the planet's sole survivor; killing Kara gave him the creative freedom to return Clark to his origin as the Last Son of Krypton.

Smallville (2001)

Hothead - S1-E3

Trivia: The 9/11 attacks occurred during production. As all planes were grounded, Annette O'Toole had Michael McKean drive her to and from Vancouver; during those car trips, they wrote the songs which later appeared in A Mighty Wind. They later earned a Best Original Song Oscar nomination for "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow."

Aladdin (2019)

Trivia: Carrie Fisher's appearance is made up of unused scenes from The Force Awakens, with the writers and editors coming up with clever ways to re-purpose them. Clearly with some CGI assistance at times.
