The movie kicks off with Logan getting nuked in Nagasaki like it’s just another bad day at the office. The scene closely mirrors a moment from the Chris Claremont/Frank Miller Wolverine comic, where our favorite feral X-Man gets obliterated and starts regenerating mid-annihilation. Because not even an atomic bomb can keep this crazy canuck down. 4. Tao Okamoto, who played Mariko, joined the film partly because she had a teenage crush on Hugh Jackman after seeing him in the first X-Men movie. By that logic, I should’ve starred in a movie with Drew Barrymore by now. 3. The Silver Samurai battle was all CGI, thanks to WETA, but here’s the cool part—there was actually a real 9-foot-tall, fully poseable mechanical prop made from over 600 individually designed parts. It was built using cutting-edge rapid prototyping tech, which is just a fancy way of saying big nerd magic. 2. Hugh Jackman is notorious for his extreme diets when prepping for Wolverine—high calories, tons of protein, basically all the chicken breast in existence. His ex-wife even said that his diet put him in a mood that was way too close to his character. So yeah, a hungry Wolverine is a grumpy Wolverine. Somebody get this man a Snickers. 1. To get that extra shredded look for his shirtless scenes, Jackman went on a dehydration diet, cutting out all liquids for 36 hours before filming. He said it made him feel "headachy" and faint, but hey, sacrifices gotta be made if you want peak ab visibility. And let’s be honest, the ladies definitely didn’t mind his hard work. Neither did some of the fellas. No judgments here.

The Merc With A Mouth: 5 Fun Facts About Deadpool

🔴 Subscribe for more Fun Facts: https://www.youtube.com/@i.am.michael.angelo?sub_confirmation-1 5 Fun Facts About Deadpool: 5. Deadpool, like Ryan Reynolds, relies heavily on facial expressions to get you to like him. The hope was to get that in-camera but with the mask's hard-shell design there was no way. VFX house WETA came in, shot reference footage, and, you could say, gave Reynolds over 250 facials. ["money shot" clip] 4. For the scrapyard fight between Angel Dust and the 7 ½ foot tall Colossus, Gina Carano performed the choreography in two passes: once with the stuntman who's a dainty 6'11, and then by herself fighting thin air so the mo-cap CGI character could be added later. 3. Negasonic Teenage Warhead was picked because of her cool name [insert clip], but her mutant abilities were dramatically changed from those of her comic book counterpart whose powers included precognition and telepathy. 2. In the comics, Vanessa is actually a shape-shifting mutant named Copycat. According to director Tim Miller, he and the writers didn't want to bog down the storyline dealing with her powers...but hinted they might save that for another time. 1. Ryan Reynolds wept the first time he saw the suit, which he describes as a work of art. 9 were made, 7 were destroyed during shooting, and one was liberated by Reynolds who took it home without asking.

5 Fun Facts About Ghostbusters #Shorts

🔴 Subscribe for more Fun Facts: https://www.youtube.com/@i.am.michael.angelo?sub_confirmation-1 5 Fun Facts About Ghostbusters: 5. A serious “Coke” problem nearly shut down the production. Just four months before filming, Coca-Cola bought Columbia Pictures and freaked out over the movie's budget. They wanted to axe it, but Columbia CEO Frank Price didn’t like being told what to do. Just before quitting, he gave director Ivan Reitman full creative control and saved the day! 4. Peter Venkman was originally written for the late John Belushi; in a weird twist of fate, Dan Aykroyd was actually writing a line for Belushi when he got the call about his friend’s death. Bill Murray took over the role, but Belushi still got to cameo—in a way—as the inspiration for Slimer. 3. The first design of the library ghost was so terrifying it got scrapped. Fast forward a few months after Ghostbusters wrapped and the FX team had moved on to "Fright Night" where they repurposed that same spooky skull-puppet for Jerry Dandrige’s explosive demise. 2. The original script was set in a future with flying cars, trips to space, and Ghostbusters were basically blue-collar, ghost-busting plumbers. Reitman brought in Harold Ramis to rewrite the script with Aykroyd. This move also landed Ramis a spot as one of the Ghostbusters! 1. If you look closely in the scene where Ray gets a mouth hug from a sexy lady-ghost, you’ll notice he’s wearing a vintage French officer’s uniform. That’s because it was originally part of a scene where he and Winston go on a call to a historic fort. The duo splits up...and Ray loses his ghost cherry.

The LAPD got their panties in a bunch over their depiction, so to avoid a lawsuit the producers had the unies switch from wearing their badges over their heart, as is tradition, to over their right breast starting with episode 3. 4. Vic Mackey's iconic Polo Sport shades were a happy accident. The first day of filming was bright and Michael Chiklis didn’t have any sunglasses so he snagged a pair from a nearby bodega for $5. 3. Claudette was originally a man named “Charles” in the pilot script. When C.C.H. Pounder’s manager pushed for her to get an audition, she crushed it and creator Shawn Ryan immediately made the change. 2. The fisticuffs between Mackey and Kavenaugh at Lem’s murder scene was a little more real than intended. Equal parts miscommunication and misunderstanding, Chiklis’s shoulder smashed into Forest Whitaker’s face who responded by busting Chiklis’s lip. Nobody was seriously injured and the two were cool a few days later. 1. At 42 seconds long, the pause before Mackey gives his confession in the penultimate episode is one of the series’ heaviest moments. To bring it to life, Chiklis sat there playing out all his memories of the show, not just as his character, but as the actor who shared 7 years' worth of raw, vulnerable moments with his co-stars.
