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. Curiously this makes Warden Rankin's bitter and homicidal hatred towards Manny (which included welding him into his cell for 2 years) rather questionable as safe cracking isn't remotely as serious as murder.

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.

Trivia: Ally Sheedy was mortified after learning that she had to perform a sex scene as she presumed that it would be offscreen and simply implied. Director Joel Schumacher convinced her to do it by agreeing to only shoot her and Andrew McCarthy from the neck up. Also the scene where she accidentally pushes the shower screen down was unscripted and McCarthy's laughing reaction was genuine.

Gavin Jackson

Trivia: On the DVD commentary, Kevin Bacon stated that at the time of release that despite the studio's insistence, he refused to go around telling reporters that he did all his own dancing in the film (he was mostly doubled) after the backlash that Jennifer Beals copped after Flashdance where she was forced by the studio to say she did all her own dancing despite only doing close-ups.

Trivia: The now-famous "I'll have what she's having" line spoken by the lady in the diner was Billy Crystal's idea.

Gavin Jackson

Trivia: In the trailer Martin Lawrence gets out of the passenger side of Will Smith's valuable car and his door gets damaged hitting a fire hydrant. This is a reference to an actual behind-the-scenes moment in Bad Boys 2 when Lawrence did the same thing, hitting a concrete barrier whilst exiting the expensive Ferrari used in the film. It infuriated Michael Bay and Lawrence was highly apologetic.

Trivia: The scene at the end when everyone is running and the priest is saying "As I walk through the valley of death" to which an annoyed Jack responds "Could you walk a little faster" was taken from 1969's Paint Your Wagon where Lee Marvin and the preacher have the exact same exchange when fleeing the cave collapse.
