Trivia: There is a lot of debate about where the nails went during crucifixion, through the palms or the wrists. In the film, director Mel Gibson chose the palms. The Shroud of Turin has the nails through the wrists and skeletal remains of other people crucified (mentioned in books about the Shroud) had the nail through the wrist also.

Doctor Who (1963)
Trivia: Throughout Doctor Who, and in many of the books about the show, there is a discontinuity about what TARDIS stands for. Some people say it is Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, whereas Susan Forman, in the first episode, "An Unearthly Child", says it stands for Time and Relative Dimension In Space (no s at the end of Dimension).

Doctor Who (1963)
Remembrance of the Daleks - S25-E1
Trivia: This story is set weeks after the time frame in which the very first Doctor Who episode, "An Unearthly Child", took place. There is a scene in a house, with a TV in the corner, where the continuity announcer begins to announce the start of a new Saturday early evening science fiction story - it is the announcement which launched Doctor Who - which cuts out just before the title is mentioned.

The X-Files Movie (1998)
Trivia: Early on in the film, just after Fox notices that the toilet in the bar is out of order and he goes outside - as he is relieving himself, he is facing a poster for Independence Day - another movie about alien invasion. Chris Carter, the producer of the X-Files, hated Independence Day and so had Mulder relieve himself nearby deliberately.
