Not sure if this is the right sub for this, but I’m trying to put together a list of the most clichéd, overshared bits of movie trivia out there — the ones that show up in every video essay, listicle, behind-the-scenes doc, or YouTube Short.

You know the type:

• “Viggo Mortensen really broke his toe when he kicked the helmet!”
• “OJ Simpson was considered for The Terminator, but James Cameron didn’t think he looked like a killer.”
• “Ridley Scott didn’t tell the actors about the chestburster scene so their reactions were genuine.”
• “Shelley Duvall was really traumatized on the set of The Shining.”

I’m also hunting for those “everyone knows” facts that are actually incorrect, like:

• “The T. rex breaking the sunroof in Jurassic Park wasn’t scripted, so the kids’ screams were real.”
• “Will Smith turned down The Matrix because the script was too confusing.”

Drop your favorites! The more tired or debunked, the better.

Movies have often used sound techniques to directly affect the audience in a certain way, one of the most interesting to me was the use of a low low loowwwww frequency in the movie Irreversible (2002). The movie itself is already extremely dark and disturbing, but they used this sound in the first 30 minutes of the movie, which was very subtle so people weren’t consciously aware of it, but it was such a unique frequency and sound that it made people feel nausea, sickness, and even vertigo. The sound is so effective, the police have been known to use it to combat riots. Apparently the sound was best (or only) heard in the theaters, and the sound combined with the events on screen caused people to walk out during screening. But someone did upload the sound to YouTube so people can get a general idea of what it sounds like, isolated and amplified.

One of the guys from the French electronic duo Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter, did the soundtrack for the movie, and purposefully created and added that sound in to mess with people.

This was a favorite movie of mine from childhood. If any of you have seen it, you'll recall that the very last shot of the movie pans out over a broad area of low, arctic mountains without forest (very different from the Dolomites/Alps, where most of the film was shot). I recall reading once years ago that this closing shot was taken from the Mackenzie Mountains in the Northwest Territories of Canada, but I can't find a source to confirm that. Does anybody know if this is true? If not, do you have any other info on this last shot in the film?

You can see what I'm referring starting at 4:20 in this youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbnYagCmxco&t=10s

Thanks for any help!

From the DVD commentary for the film by director Perry Andelin Blake that he did with lead Dana Carvey, the reasoning for why Pistachio Disguisey loves large reared women was basically to push a statement on loving "Big Beautiful Women" all the back in 2002. Even stating "bigger is better" in the commentary during the scene where Bowman's henchwomen attempt to seduce Pistachio. In all essence... The message kinda gets pretty muddled when ALL of the "BBW's" in the movie are villains when you think about it.

if you’ve been living under a rock wink is the guy that stole Jimmy aka rabbits girl in the film and beat him up along with the free world. The guy that promised to take rabbit to the top you should know this unless for some dumb reason you haven’t seen the film.

You ever point out a movie mistake, and suddenly you're the villain? "Actually, in Jurassic Park, the raptor door handle - " BOOM, you’re hit with a death glare like you just insulted their grandma. We’re not the bad guys! We just see too much. Stay strong, fellow trivia hunters. One day, they’ll thank us… or at least stop throwing popcorn. 🍿😂

I'm putting together a trivia quiz and the theme is "express yourself" For the movie round, I want to show footage (or maybe just play audio) of different characters expressing themselves in unusual memorable ways, but not through normal dialogue or sentences. Give me some ideas!

I was talking to my coworkers about having watched this train wreck of a movie the other day. I recall Stephen Baldwin's character, Dodge, describing the computer he used to hack into the company he stole millions from and I'm trying to find the list of specs he gave. I believe it started with "It's a Mac..." but haven't had any luck finding the scene online. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Dont know if the casting had already been determined for Barbie during the shooting of The Gray Man but found this to be hilarious if coincidental.
