All I Want for Christmas picture

Trivia: In "All I Want for Christmas" (1991), Hallie [Thora Birch] told her dad that Pluto is her "favorite planet." Pluto was reclassified or re-defined as a "dwarf planet" (now one of five) by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. Many people were - and still are - unhappy about the "demotion" of what used to be the ninth planet and previously known as the smallest planet. Compared to one Earth year to revolve around the sun, Pluto takes 248 (Earth) years. (00:56:58)

Necessary Roughness picture

Trivia: One of fictitious Texas State University's (TSU) opponents is Southwest Texas Bobcats (SWT), which was a real school. In 2003, SWT changed their name to Texas State University at San Marcos (they kept the Bobcat nickname). Eventually, when the other schools in the Texas State University System didn't change their names, "at San Marcos" was dropped and they are known just as Texas State University (TSU).

Highlander II: The Quickening picture

Trivia: The producers didn't want to make a sequel to the original, but were pressed to do so by foreign investors due to the original being a hot-seller on VHS. During production, filming became a nightmare, as the script was constantly being re-written to contrive different ways to continue the story, and the film went over budget, causing the insurance companies involved to take over production and further "mess with" the storyline and effects to get it done quickly and cheaply. Director Russell Mulcahy was so ashamed of the finished film, he walked out of the premier before the end of the first act, and co-stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Michael Ironside have all admitted that the film was absolutely terrible. Lambert only finished filming because he was contractually obligated to the sequel, whereas Connery only made the film due to his friendship with Lambert and the steep paycheck he received, which he wanted to donate to charities he supported.

Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge picture

Trivia: The filmmakers wanted to make a puppet that would be the perfect "opposition" to the evil Nazis in the film. They came up with the idea for a cowboy puppet, since he could represent a popular American archetype, and of course the Americans opposed the Nazis in the war. They then combined the cowboy with an old idea for a six-armed ninja puppet, resulting in the popular puppet "Six Shooter."
