Speed (1994)

Trivia: In the original script. Jack's partner Harry would turn out to be the mastermind behind the bus bomb (with Dennis Hopper simply being his accomplice). When Ed Harris, who was originally cast as Harry, left and Jeff Daniels got the role, producers felt that Daniels was too nice and likeable to be truly convincing as a villain and changed it to just make Hopper the sole baddie.

Mad Max 2 (1981)

Trivia: After Max reloads his gun, the gyro captain asks "How do I know that one's not a dud" to which Max responds "Let's find out." As they walk to the Gyro-copter and the captain is ranting on, Mel Gibson tries to holster his shotgun but fails. He quickly tries again with no luck and finally gives up and just carries the gun in frustration.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Trivia: According to the DVD commentary, director Stephen Elliot wanted the drag queens to scale Ayers Rock (Uluru) at the end. But the park owner refused, claiming that he thought the film sounded dumb (and probably because climbing Ayers Rock is generally dissuaded). Elliot wanted to beat him up badly but didn't. In the end, he settled for Kings Canyon for the finale.

Mad Max (1979)

Trivia: In a Q&A session, Steve Bisley stated that he came up with the idea of Goose laughing after he crashes into the car to show the character's reckless and crazy nature. On the day of filming, it was hot and Bisley was hardly feeling cheerful. So to make him laugh, Mel Gibson got on top of the car bisley was under and started dancing and exposing his genitals. That got Bisley laughing.

The Goodies (1970)

Kitten Kong - S2-E7

Trivia: On many recent specials and Live-shows, Tim has mentioned that in the scene where the Cat is dragging him face-down along the ground in the park a dog came out of nowhere and laid some do-do in his path. Since Tim didn't want to ruin the scene, he decided to continuously move himself right over it. Clearly it's something he hasn't forgotten.

Hot Shots! (1991)

Trivia: When the camera crew were rigging the bridge to be blown up, the supervisor in charge of the detonation who didn't speak any foreign language thought he had been given the instruction to blow up the bridge and proceded to do it. Trouble was, the camera crew hadn't finished setting everything up and it was not filmed at all. Sergio Leone was (according to Clint Eastwood) the angriest anyone had ever seen him. As a result, the army agreed to rebuild the bridge for free and it hired a detonator who did speak the right language. This time they got the shot.
