Trivia: Barry Morrow, the writer of "Rain Man," wrote a draft for the film that went unused. It was noted that his draft strayed very far from the source material, and was reportedly a low-key drama about the relationship between the two brothers that was described as being very much like his script for "Rain Man." When producers asked him to write a more adventurous script like the video-games, he refused, and was booted from the project.

Jack's Back (1988)
Trivia: The film's original title was "Red Rain" and the Peter Gabriel song of the same name was meant to be featured in the film. However, they couldn't get the rights to feature the song, so the song "Red Harvest" was commissioned and written specifically for the film. Shortly before the film's release, the studio decided that the title "Red Rain" no longer made any sense without the Gabriel song in the movie, and instead retitled the film "Jack's Back."

Midsommar (2019)
Trivia: Jack Reynor himself suggested that he run away nude after the sex scene. He was originally scripted to have grabbed a robe. Reynor felt this would make him look more pathetic and vulnerable. He also reportedly was influenced by seeing numerous women in horror movies run around naked, be sexually assaulted, etc. He felt it only made sense that male characters should also be forced into similar compromising and undignified situations.

The Craft (1996)
Trivia: At one point in time in the early 2000's when direct-to-DVD sequels were quite popular, a direct-to-DVD sequel focusing exclusively on Fairuza Balk Nancy was considered, but it was never made.

Midsommar (2019)
Trivia: Throughout the early scenes, Dani's clothing is all loose, ill-fitting or otherwise unflattering. However, when she is given clothes by the cult, they all fit her perfectly. It has been widely speculated that this is a very subtle hint that she fits in better with the cult than normal society.

Midsommar (2019)
Trivia: The flower dress Dani wears at the end of the film took weeks to build, and included over 10,000 artificial flowers. The crew wanted to use real flowers, but it would have been impossible to keep them all alive. It was reportedly incredibly heavy and unwieldy, and actress Florence Pugh could barely move in it.

Trivia: Near the end of the film, as Dani is lifted and being carried to the dinner table, if you look closely, you can see the ghostly image of her deceased sister's face (with the exhaust hose in her mouth) in the background. It's been superimposed over the trees in the distance. It's very subtle and easy to miss, but if you know where to look, it's there.

Scream (1996)
Trivia: The school scenes were originally meant to be filmed in the Santa Rosa High School. However, right before filming began, the school officials pulled out of the project. The crew was forced to scramble to find another school at the last second. Director Wes Craven was furious at the school board, and decided to poke some fun at them in the credits. If you wait around long enough, you'll see the message "No thanks whatsoever to the Santa Rosa City School District Governing Board."

The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (2008)
Continuity mistake: In the first movie, Mathayus has an older brother named Jesup who is killed by the villain. However, in this prequel, Mathayus has a younger brother named Noah who is killed by the villain, and there is no mention of Jesup whatsoever. Given that Mathayus and Jesup were supposed to both be warriors with the same tribe, it makes absolutely no sense that he isn't at least mentioned in the film, and the movie seems to pretend he never even existed.

The Craft (1996)
Trivia: The film features the Love Spit Love cover of the song "How Soon is Now." The very next year, the series "Charmed" premiered, which used the exact same cover of the song as its theme song. The series "Charmed" is also about a group of young witches. (And in fact, several cast and crew members of "The Craft" have alleged that the series "Charmed" was a complete rip-off their movie, and the fact it used the same song is further proof of that).

The Craft (1996)
Trivia: Some strange things happened on set during production. Particularly during the beach ritual scene - every time they'd start filming the scene, the tide would go crazy... and then immediately settle down when the director called "Cut!" A flock of bats also mysteriously appeared and hovered over set. Finally, when Nancy screamed the line "Manon, fill me!", all the power on set went out.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Trivia: Fix-It Felix was originally meant to be the main character early on in the writing process. However, director Rich Moore eventually shifted the focus to Wreck-It Ralph because everyone involved thought Ralph seemed like a much more fun character to follow.
