Trivia: Liev Schreiber took the role of Cotton to help pay off some school debt. He was offered a small pay-day for a day's work where he basically just had to walk a short distance then get into a car. He figured it'd be a simple paycheck, and didn't realise his character would end up becoming a principal player in the sequel.

Trivia: Originally, acclaimed director Rian Johnson was meant to have a cameo in the film as the director of the fictitious "Stab 8." He would have appeared alongside "Scream 4" co-star Hayden Panettiere as her character Kirby in a short scene. However, scheduling conflicts prevented this from happening. Nevertheless, a photo confirming that Kirby survived "Scream 4" is briefly shown, and Panettiere has a small voice-over cameo during the party scene alongside other cast and crew from the series.

Trivia: There are tons of hidden voice cameos from former series cast/crew. Drew Barrymore provides the voice on the school loudspeaker. Matthew Lillard is the voice of "Ghostface" in "Stab 8." And during the party, Barrymore, Lillard, Adam Brody, Hayden Panettiere, Jamie Kennedy and Henry Winkler provide background voices, alongside series crew members Kevin Williamson, Marco Beltrami, Patrick Lussier and Julie Plec. Original director Wes Craven's widow Iya Craven also has a voice cameo at the party.

Trivia: Due to being filmed during the COVID pandemic, the studio reportedly spent over $1 million on COVID tests for the cast and crew during production.

Trivia: Series star Johnny Knoxville has stated this will be his final "Jackass" movie, and that he will be retiring from the franchise. He has cited his age as a factor, in addition to a severe brain injury he sustained during the film, which caused him to lose cognitive function and develop severe depression for a period of time. He also said that he feels he doesn't have anything left to prove after having worked on the franchise for over 20 years.

Trivia: According to former "Jackass" co-star Bam Margera, the original working title for the film was "Jackass 4: We're Not Dunn Yet," as a darkly comedic reference and tribute to cast member Ryan Dunn, who passed away 2011. However, it has never been 100% confirmed whether this was an actual working title for the film, or if Bam was just making it up.

Trivia: The original three "Jackass" movies were released four years apart each. By comparison, this fourth film was released 12 full years after the release of the third film, "Jackass 3D."

Trivia: Future "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville was actually Keanu Reeves' photo-doubled for the poster and promotional pictures, since Reeves wasn't available due to a packed schedule.

Trivia: With this film, Jamie Lee Curtis has surpassed Donald Pleasance as the actor with the most on-screen performances in the franchise. Pleasance appeared as Dr. Loomis in "Halloween," "Halloween 2," "Halloween 4," "Halloween 5," and "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers." Curtis has appeared as Laurie Strode in "Halloween," "Halloween 2," "Halloween H20," "Halloween Resurrection," "Halloween (2018) " and "Halloween Kills," and will reprise the role again in 2022's "Halloween Ends."

Trivia: SOME SPOILERS: Harold Ramis' daughter Violet got to visit the production a few times, and was even able to try on her father's original proton pack, which was being kept in storage. She has greatly praised the movie and the effects used to add her father into the film as a ghost, and feels he would have definitely approved of it.

Trivia: The original Myers house was relocated in the 1980's to avoid demolition, and is currently being used as office rental space. The owners reportedly have no problem with people taking photos outside, but have had to occasionally put up signs politely but firmly asking people not to bother the tenants or approach the porch unless you are a renter there. Evidently overzealous movie fans have caused some annoyances for them over the years.

Trivia: Original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle did shoot one scene as Michael, but it was cut from the theatrical release. (He appeared as Michael in a reflection in a bathroom mirror, similar to how he appeared as Michael in "Halloween (2018)" in a mirror-reflection).

Trivia: Contrary to popular belief, the cameo from Dr. Loomis was not achieved through CGI. Turns out one of the crew-members (Tom Jones Jr.) actually looked a great deal like the late Donald Pleasance, who played Loomis. They simply threw some small prosthetic pieces and a hair-piece on him, and he looked virtually identical to Loomis in the original movie. He was then dubbed over in post-production by a voice actor doing a (pretty spot-on) impression of Pleasance.

Trivia: Was originally meant to be filmed back-to-back with the third film, "Halloween Ends," but the idea was dropped due to scheduling conflicts.

Trivia: "Halloween Kills" has a bizarre celebrity cameo hidden in it. In one scene, a yearbook photo of the character "Bob" from the original film is shown. However, the production crew couldn't find an actual high-school photo of the actor who played Bob in the original movie. Coincidentally, they happened to see a yearbook picture of actor/comedian Bob Odenkirk and realised that as a teenager, he looked just like the actor who played Bob. So the crew ended up using the photo of Odenkirk instead.

Trivia: There are 12 jack-o-lanterns in the opening credits. Somewhat appropriate, as this is actually the 12th film in the overall franchise.

Trivia: "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is one of the most notorious box-office bombs in history, losing the studio nearly $100 million.

TedStixon

Trivia: The film was originally written in the mid-1980's, but was passed around back and forth until it finally went into production nearly 15 years later.

Trivia: !MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR "SCREAM (2022)! Towards the end of the movie, it is revealed that Tara's friend Amber is one of the two killers. If you look at the credits, the movie was co-written by famed screenwriter James Vanderbilt... whose wife also happens to be named "Amber." This is either an incredibly bizarre coincidence, or Vanderbilt decided to include a truly odd tribute to his wife in the film by naming a psychotic killer after her... either way, it's pretty darned funny.

Trivia: !SPOILERS! Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield gave a lot of notes on their characters, which the writers gratefully accepted. For example, Maguire didn't want too much revealed about what's been happening with his Peter, aside from the fact that he was still with Mary Jane. (Presumably to leave his adventures up to the fans' imaginations.) And Garfield wanted his Peter to be a bit more ferocious/emotional compared to his first two films to show how Gwen Stacey's death changed him.
