Question: Why is the man's groin blurred out in the fight-scene at the Japanese sauna? It's an R-rated movie (or unrated, depending on the cut of the film you watch), so it's not like they couldn't have shown it. The best I can figure is that it's a reference to the fact that genitals are blurred out in Japanese media due to "decency" laws. Is that what the joke was?

Answer: It is a possibility. In Japan, the showing of a person's genital area and/or pubic hair is considered obscene.

Trivia: Deadpool briefly mentions that Domino's powers sound like an idea from a "crackpot" who "can't draw feet." This is a nod to Deadpool and Domino's co-creator Rob Leifeld, who is known for his somewhat unique style... and also a bit infamous because he's really bad at drawing ankles and feet.

Trivia: When Deadpool retrieves the cocaine from Blind Al's apartment, the bags of coke are sitting next to another object labeled "The Cure for Blindness." This is a bit of a callback to the first film, in which Deadpool facetiously told Al that he had cocaine stashed somewhere in the apartment next to "the cure for blindness." Evidently, he literally did have a cure for blindness.

Trivia: It was revealed after the film was released that Ryan Reynolds himself was the voice of Juggernaut, in addition to portraying the facial motion-capturing work for the digital model. They simply deepened his voice in post-production. In the credits, the voice of Juggernaut is listed as "himself".

Trivia: Tim Miller, who directed the original film, left production early on and was replaced by "John Wick" co-directer David Leitch. Reportedly, Miller and star Ryan Reynolds had vastly different visions for the sequel, and Miller was already in early prep for the next "Terminator" film, so the two amicably agreed that Miller should step away and allow a new director to take over.
