Trivia: The horrendous box art for Megaman 1 has a notorious design for the titular character and is regarded as one of the worst box arts in history. But as a nod to this, Bad Box Art Megaman appears as a playable character in Capcom x Tekken and appeared in the cancelled Megaman Universe game. Bad Box Art Megaman appeared a few times in the Archie Megaman comics, usually in the Short Circuits comedy strips, or even on a variant cover of Issue #33.

Trivia: In the original game, Megaman was able to crouch to avoid projectiles. However, it was removed before the game shipped as they felt it made it too easy. This would be later revisited in Megaman 3 when he was given the ability to slide.

Trivia: Funny enough, this game, based on a movie made by Sony, which was released on the Sony PlayStation 2, had exclusive content only available on the Xbox version of the game. This being a series of levels and missions where Spider-Man is hunted by and faces off against Kraven the Hunter. This content was not included in the PS2, GameCube, GBA, or PC versions of the game, only Xbox.

Trivia: Michael Rosenbaum, who was the actor who played Lex Luthor in the Smallville TV series, does the voice of one of Lex's Raptors in this film. A sort of subtle passing of the torch moment.

Trivia: The popsicle torture scene was taken directly from Punisher War Zone #1 from 1992, where he did the exact same things by pressing a popsicle into a man's back while using a blow torch on a slab of meat, even ending by putting the popsicle in the man's mouth after finishing.

Trivia: Dave is a character from the Welcome Back Frank comics and has facial piercings in that issue. To be more comic accurate, actor Ben Foster got his face actually pierced IRL before filming his part. Some serious dedication to the role.

Trivia: The earrings that Howard Saint gives to his wife in the film were actually real earrings and not fake ones for the movie. They were actual real Harry Winston diamonds and apparently worth a million dollars, and were used as a prop on set.

Trivia: As Frank is holding his dead family in his arms on the dock, you can see that his thumb is looking kind of strange and grey, with his thumbnail being grey. This is because, not long before filming this scene, Frank's actor, Thomas Jane, got his thumb stuck in a door in real life, and it had not yet fully healed.

Trivia: The mansion used for the Howard Saint family (John Travolta) was actually the mansion from former NBA player Matt Geiger, who allowed the film crew to use his home for the set filming of this movie.

Trivia: The Sunken Ghost Ship is one of the haunted house levels in the game and is a partially sunken ship next to the stone ring that leads to the Valley of Bowser. In the manual for the game, this ship is actually described as being one of the air ships that Mario had previously taken down in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Trivia: In Bowser's Castle, there is a Thwomp locked behind bars, and if you bump the bars he will make a face and laugh at you. The laugh used is actually the same laugh from Wario but slightly slowed and pitched down. Rumours about this Thwomp circulated around playgrounds for years and players nicknamed him Marty. Developers even gave a nod to him in later Mario Kart games reusing the laugh. And Marty has also become the subject of several creepypastas.

Trivia: Something you probably would not realise unless you stopped to look at the train coming at you, but in the Kalimari Desert there is a train going around the tracks in the desert. If you look at the front of the train, the engine number is actually 64. Like the Nintendo 64 console, the game is on and this being Mario Kart 64.

Trivia: In a pretty clear reference to The Matrix scene with the red pill and blue pill between Morpheus and Neo, there is a part in the first level where two chairs are situated in front of a fireplace with a table between them. And there is a red syringe and a blue syringe on the table.

Trivia: The Halloween skin, Zombie Outfit, for Roy, if you watch closely in the attack animations, he actually is ripping off his own arm and beating his enemies with it.

Trivia: Originally, Megaman 1 was intended to have 8 Robot Masters, which would become the standard starting with Mega Man 2, but they had to reduce it to 6 due to limitations at the time. One of the cut Masters would have been Bond Man, a robot who used glue as his main attack. He was later planned to be included in the Powered Up remake of Megaman 1, but they went with Oil Man instead.

Trivia: There's an Easter egg for Shademan's stage. If you hold down the B button when selecting his stage, the Ghosts 'n Goblins theme will play instead of Shademan's theme during the level.

Trivia: To get the pale, colorless skin of the programs in the cyberworld, all the footage of the actors was filmed in black and white/grey scale, with the neon colors added in post production.

Trivia: The sound that the Identity Disks make when being thrown was the recorded sounds of yelling monkeys filtered through a Fairlight CMI synthesizer. This same synth was also used on the director's cat to make the low growls the MCP makes in the background.

Quantom X ★

Trivia: In the arcade, there's a shot of a man dressed in black going up and hugging a girl. Even though he's only seen from behind, this is actually a small cameo by the movie's director, Steven Lisberger. (00:17:32)

Trivia: The character Alan Bradley in Tron was inspired by real-life computer scientist Alan Kay, one of the pioneers of modern computing. Kay helped invent the concept of the personal computer, including early ideas resembling today's laptops with graphical user interfaces. He was also instrumental in developing object-oriented programming, a key software design principle. Fittingly, Kay served as a consultant on Tron, bringing authenticity to its digital world.
