The Wrestler (2008)
Trivia: Following the release of the film, Mickey Rourke was scheduled to compete in a match at Wrestlemania 25 against Chris Jericho. The two even appeared on "Larry King Live" to sell the feud. Rourke later dropped out of the match, and ended up being a special guest at the event, and "punching out" Jericho after his match. According to Jericho, Rourke pulled out of the match because his agents felt associating with WWE would ruin his chances of winning an Oscar for his performance in the film.

The Wrestler (2008)
Trivia: Hulk Hogan claimed he was offered the lead role in this film, which director Darren Aronofsky has disputed. Randy the Ram appears to be partially inspired by Hogan, given he was a megastar in the 80's, has bleach-blonde hair and a tanned skin complexion, and occasionally calls people "brother."

The Prestige (2006)
Trivia: There are a couple times in the movie, where if you listen carefully, you can hear Angier's English accent slip through (such as when he says to Olivia "He lives his act").

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Trivia: Peter disrupts Strange's spell 5 times, resulting in the same number of multiversal villains appearing in this universe. Strange initially erroneously states that Peter disrupted the spell 6 times. This is likely a reference to the supervillain team that Spider-Man frequently faces in the comics: the Sinister Six.

Trivia: SPOILER: Near the end of the film when the fabric of reality has been torn open and Spider-Man villains from other universes are preparing to enter, one of the silhouettes shown is of the Rhino in a more comic book accurate outfit than the mechsuit he donned in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. A silhouette of Scorpion is also visible just before Rhino.
