Trivia: Whistler's apparent death in the previous film was meant to be permanent, but he proved to be so popular with fans that they decided to bring him back for this film.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Factual error: When Drake is about to go into the Dracula shop, you can see a marquee that says "Hastings, V6B 1H6" indicating it is in Hastings, Vancouver, British Columbia. Later in the scene when he throws the man through the window, the sign next to the window mentions Canada's Labour Party, and also says "Canadian International" on it. The movie was filmed in Vancouver, but is supposed to take place in an unspecified city in the United States, given that the FBI is trying to bring Blade down, plus the chief of police mentioning the vampires are pulling the homeless off the streets of America.

Blade II (2002)
Question: If Blade knew the bomb on the back of Reinhardt's head wasn't actually a dud like Scud believed it to be, why didn't he detonate it and kill Reinhardt instead of using it to kill Scud? Surely Reinhardt is a bigger threat than Scud. Blade could kill Scud with his bare hands if he wanted to.

Blade (1998)
Question: At the end when the Russian vampire has his would-be victim in a choke-hold, she says something to him, and he says something in return, but neither lines are subtitled. What are they saying?
Chosen answer: I have taken the Russian subtitles and machine translated them, then edited for clarity. Here they are with and compared to the hard subs from the theatrical release of the movie. Russian version is in brackets. Here is the full conversation... MOSCOW Woman: (A good show. I'm glad we went.) Vampire: (It went well, I thought?) Woman: (Yes, keep up the good work.) Vampire: (I will try.) Woman: It's cold. Where are we going? (I'm so cold. Where are we going?) Vampire: It's a surprise. Woman: Surprise? (Surprise? Really?) Man: (Yes.) Woman: I like surprises. (You know, I like surprises.) Vampire: Then you'll like this - (Then you'll like it very much.) Vampire: (You have such sweet skin!) Woman: (Peter, what are you doing? You're hurting me!) Vampire: (You will live forever.) Woman: (Don't touch me!) Blade: (Hey, good evening.) Blade: Catch you at a bad time - Blade: - Comrade? Vampire then growls until blade draws his sword and it cuts to credits.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Trivia: Sean Connery never appeared in another live action film following this one. The stress he experienced making it is what led him to retire from acting until his death in 2020, with the only exception being a voice role for an animated film in 2012 called Sir Billi. He strongly considered coming out of retirement for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but ultimately declined, as he found retirement to be a lot of fun.

Blade (1998)
Question: Why wouldn't the vampire elders just kill Deacon Frost if he's such a problem for them? It's not like they have a code of ethics to follow, plus it would send a message to any other rebellious vampires.
Chosen answer: It would seem Deacon has gathered a lot of strength around himself, in followers of "young" vampires like himself. After he kills Gitano he just abducts all the vampire elders, showing his followers are a lot stronger than the elders are. So they probably couldn't have killed him even if they wanted to, not unless they want to unleash a war. They thought his pursuit of the vampire god was totally pointless, so they let him waste his time and were probably trying to find a way to get rid of him.

Spawn (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the paramedics are covering Zack's dead father's head with the blanket, his left eye briefly twitches. Note: timecode refers to the director's cut. (01:05:19)

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the paramedics are draping the blanket over the body of Zack's dad, his head is tilted towards his left shoulder. When the shot changes, his head is now titled towards his right shoulder. Note: timecode refers to the director's cut. (01:05:15)

Spawn (1997)
Question: How exactly did they make John Leguizamo look so short? Was he just sitting on some seat concealed inside the fat suit?
Chosen answer: He is squatting the entire time in every scene. The suit probably helped in ways to balance himself whilst squatting, so he could hold on much longer than normally.

Trivia: Warner Brothers offered James Gunn the opportunity to direct a sequel to Man of Steel, but he chose to do this film instead. Gunn would later go on to direct a new iteration of Superman with "Superman: Legacy."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Deliberate mistake: When Casey is hiding behind the boxes waiting to knock out a Foot soldier and steal his outfit, you can see he is still wearing his denim vest. After he knocks out the Foot soldier, he is able to put on his entire outfit in roughly three seconds. (01:10:15)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Question: What's the deal with the awful looking costumes in this movie? Were the costumes from the previous two no longer available?
Answer: Jim Henson's Creature Shop didn't work on the third entry, so they went with someone else.
Why would Jim Henson's Creature Shop have to specifically work on the film? There were already existing suits. Shouldn't the studio have owned the suits, or did Jim Henson's Creature Shop only provide them on a rental basis?
All Effects was the company that provided the suits for the 3rd film. They had similar technology as Jim Henson's Creature Shop but underbid Jim Henson's Creature Shop to get the job.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Revealing mistake: When Raphael is fighting the Foot Clan on the roof of April's building, after he tells them that they must be studying the abridged book of ninja fighting, he kicks one of them in the stomach and then cartwheels over his back to kick another one in the face. You can tell he misses the second one by a mile, but the man still groans and collapses unconscious into the chair behind him. (00:40:45)

Happy Gilmore (1996)
Question: Is there any particular reason why there is some kind of wire either hanging or protruding from the golf club when Happy hits a ball for the first time? It's most noticeable when says "Look at this stupid thing."
Chosen answer: The wire is actually some sort of line that would be wrapped around the club attaching the club head to the shaft.

Chosen answer: Killing Scud with it probably was more satisfying for Blade than Reinhardt, who he easily beat as well. He hates familiars and that moment he used the bomb to have Scud reveal his betrayal, and then kill him, so he won't get away. Reinhardt he knew would not try to run, he was killing him anyway.
