The Wrestler (2008)

Trivia: Following the release of the film, Mickey Rourke was scheduled to compete in a match at Wrestlemania 25 against Chris Jericho. The two even appeared on "Larry King Live" to sell the feud. Rourke later dropped out of the match, and ended up being a special guest at the event, and "punching out" Jericho after his match. According to Jericho, Rourke pulled out of the match because his agents felt associating with WWE would ruin his chances of winning an Oscar for his performance in the film.

The Wrestler (2008)

Trivia: Hulk Hogan claimed he was offered the lead role in this film, which director Darren Aronofsky has disputed. Randy the Ram appears to be partially inspired by Hogan, given he was a megastar in the 80's, has bleach-blonde hair and a tanned skin complexion, and occasionally calls people "brother."

The Prestige (2006)

Trivia: There are a couple times in the movie, where if you listen carefully, you can hear Angier's English accent slip through (such as when he says to Olivia "He lives his act"). These are subtle clues to the later revelation that Angier is a British aristocrat pretending to be an American magician.

The Simpsons (1989)

Mothers and Other Strangers - S33-E9

Continuity mistake: A teenage Homer and his father travel to Utah to look for Homer's fugitive mother, whom they find. This completely contradicts the episode Mother Simpson, where Homer didn't reconnect with his mom until he was in his late thirties, and was told all his life by his father that she was dead, even believing that the grave of Walt Whitman belonged to his mother.
