Blade II (2002)

Trivia: Michael Jackson was supposed to make a guest appearance in the House Of Pain. If you watch the deleted scenes, Nyssa watches a man empty human entrails from a box in one of the rooms upstairs. This part was supposed to be Jackson, be he had to drop out.

Trivia: Danny Trejo, who played Cucuy in this film, is director's Robert Rodriguez's cousin. This might be why Trejo is in almost every film Rodriguez has made.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end when the alcoholic Mariachi is about to use his guitar case as a RC car, he opens it to get the control and shuts it. A cut to a different shot shows the box open again, but then when it rolls to the truck, it is closed. (01:23:10)

X-Men (2000)

Trivia: On the X-Men 2 DVD, the filmmakers mentioned this. If you think about it, in X-Men (only really relevant to the first film, given Nightcrawler and Deathstrike turn up in the second one), all of the X-Men are beautiful and handsome actors and actresses, but all the villians are weird-looking, ugly beasts, or freaks of nature. Magneto's the one exception.

The Lost Boys (1987)

Trivia: The plot of the movie was intended to involve middle-school aged kids as the vampires, just like the lost boys in Peter Pan. The director loved the title but hated the idea as he didn't want it to come off as a 'copycat' of The Goonies, which featured middle-school aged kids, so he changed it.

Trivia: In the credits, the source (the big machine head that speaks to Neo) is credited as "Deus ex machina" which means "a god from a machine." In ancient Greek and Roman dramas, a deus ex machina referred to a god lowered by stage machinery to resolve a plot or extricate the protagonist from a difficult situation.

Trivia: In the end, we see Lloyd and Harry turn down the Felcher twins. Freda Felcher was mentioned in the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd and Harry were in the hot tub. Harry was explaining why he was not with her anymore and then we find out at the end of the film that Lloyd hooked up with her.

Trivia: The cat that appears at the end when Sati wakes up is the same cat that was in the first film when Neo said he had a case of deja vu. It even shakes the same way when the matrix changes.

T Poston

Trivia: The man who yells at John when his car is hit is Billy Lucas, Arnold's personal stuntman. Lucas has stunted for many of Arnold's movies including Terminator 2. (00:31:25)
