Deadpool 2

Trivia: Deadpool refers to Cable being like Thanos from the Marvel films - both characters are played by the same actor.

Trivia: Spoilers! The end credits feature Deadpool using Cable's time travel device to "fix the timelines." He goes back and saves Vanessa, then travels to X-Men Origins: Wolverine and kills the awful version of Wade Wilson from that movie (also played by Ryan Reynolds). He finally goes and shoots Ryan Reynolds in the head before he appears in the Green Lantern movie. Also in the Blu ray version, he finds a newly born Adolf Hitler and after some working up, decides to kill him (offscreen).

Trivia: A promotional poster for the PG-13 version of this film (Once Upon a Deadpool) was released as a parody of a painting commissioned by the LDS church called "The Second Coming." This was reportedly done in response to the state of Utah - known for the LDS church having unconstitutional influence over its state laws - fining a theater that served alcohol for showing the first film, alleging that it violated state liquor laws by serving alcohol while showing nudity or simulated sex.

Trivia: Domino, as played by actress Zazie Beetz, did not shave her armpits, visible during the fight on the prisoner transport convoy. Beetz felt that the character should reflect a changing female aesthetic.

Trivia: With a budget of $110 million, Deadpool 2 is nearly twice as expensive as its $58 million predecessor.

Continuity mistake: Near the start when Wade and Vanessa are discussing families, in most shots facing her she's got her thumb lying along his jawline, but in most shots facing him it's sticking up by his ear.

More quotes from Deadpool 2

Question: Why is the man's groin blurred out in the fight-scene at the Japanese sauna? It's an R-rated movie (or unrated, depending on the cut of the film you watch), so it's not like they couldn't have shown it. The best I can figure is that it's a reference to the fact that genitals are blurred out in Japanese media due to "decency" laws. Is that what the joke was?

TedStixon

Answer: It is a possibility. In Japan, the showing of a person's genital area and/or pubic hair is considered obscene.
