Trivia: According to Eddie Murphy, Reverend Jesse Jackson came up to him and personally thanked him for casting so many elderly actors in the barbershop scene. When Eddie responded that he, in fact, played all of them, Jesse was mortified and said he needed to watch the film again.

Trivia: Richard O'Brien, who played Riff Raff and also co-wrote the film as well as writing all the songs used in the film, originally wanted the film to start off in black and white and suddenly turn into colour during the Time Warp number when they all run into the huge room and see everyone singing and dancing. But the studio refused.

Docked - S19-E7

Trivia: When Alden Parker and McGee are chatting inside the safe house, Parker says, "I come from a big family, like Brady Bunch big." This is an in-joke reference to the fact that Gary Cole, who plays Parker, also portrayed the dad, Mike Brady, in three Brady Bunch films. (00:22:00)

Trivia: During the opening fight scene, Deadpool fights and dances to the song "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC. Ironically, this is the same song from X-Men 2 (2003) that briefly plays when Pyro is messing with the car radio during the mansion escape. Wolverine's irritated reaction to the tune is a possible early sign that he and Deadpool won't get along. (Then again, maybe because it was just loud. So, that's anyone's guess.)

Trivia: The restaurant near the bookstore where Charlie works is called the Double Deuce. Double Deuce was the name of the Road House in the 1989 film version.

Trivia: Brian Thompson, who played the Night Slasher, admitted in a recent interview that during filming, he had no idea what his character was about or why he and his gang were randomly killing people. When he asked Stallone who wrote the script, he couldn't even give him an answer. (Director George Pan Cosmatos made no effort to help.) Brian was eventually forced to come up with his own explanation to assist his performance. He wrote a two-page essay and just worked from that.

Trivia: SPOILER The film marks the third time that Patrick Stewart playing Professor X has died. The first time was in X-men 3 (2006). The second time was in Logan (2017). So his death in this makes it three times.

Trivia: When Pinocchio and Lampwick are going through the clock smashing factory on Pleasure island, Lampwick stands and fires a slingshot at a master clock. The face on the clock he fires at is the original Geppetto from the 1940 animated Pinocchio.

Gavin Jackson

Trivia: When Geppetto's cuckoo clocks first start ringing, the first one features Woody from Toy Story who was voiced by Tom Hanks who plays Geppetto in this film. The second one features Roger and Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit - directed by Robert Zemeckis who also directed this film.

Trivia: Russell Crowe winning the Best Actor Oscar makes this the only Ridley Scott film to ever win any acting Oscars. None of his others have.

P.S. I Love You - S2-E20

Trivia: When Colt finds Syringes in Cassie's bag, she explains that she is a Type 1 Diabetic which stunted her growth. In real life Dana Hill who played Cassie was indeed a Type 1 Diabetic which did indeed stunt her growth. Sadly the actress would pass away from a diabetes related illness in 1996.

Trivia: In the original script Manny was supposed to be a convicted killer but writer Edward Bunker changed it to a safe-cracker because he didn't feel the other prisoners would respect a killer.

Trivia: This show pays many homages to the 1968 film Bullitt which was also set in San Francisco. Firstly officer Rebecca Madsen's car is the exact same make, colour, and model Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in Bullitt. Also the final episode (Tommy Madsen) features a car chase which recreates many shots from the 1968 film. It even includes the green Beetle Volkswagen coming down the hill as seen in the movie.

Trivia: When David is grabbing Sam as he is escaping from the cave, he looks at his burnt hand and a tear comes out of his eye. The reason for this was Kiefer Sutherland had been wearing his vampire eye contact far too long and when he looked at his burning hand, the extreme light caused his eye to water up. This has been confirmed by Kiefer himself.
