Trivia: Just an odd little comparison: Richard Brooks plays the villain - a sadistic, mentally unhinged character named "Judah Earl." Six years later, he'd also play a sadistic, mentally unhinged villain in the series "Firefly" with the incredibly similar name "Jubal Early."

Trivia: When Buddy is startled by the Jack-in-a-Box toys, his reaction is genuine. Director Jon Favreau actually had a remote control that controlled the toys - Will Ferrell didn't know when they'd go off.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Trivia: In this film, at the start of the Big Market scene, a character named Hawker is told he has a "nice hat" by Laureline. In the 1997 film "The Fifth Element," a mugger is told he has a "very nice hat" by Korben Dallas. Both characters are played by Mathieu Kassovitz. Just a cute little inside joke you might not have noticed the first time.

Godzilla (1998)
Trivia: The film was meant to be the start of a trilogy. The second film would have involved the surviving "baby Godzilla" growing up into a full-sized beast and battling an insect-like creature in Australia with an army of adolescent Godzillas that it had birthed. It also would have had an emotional attachment to Matthew Broderick, who was expected to return. The third movie would have built on the second film, and would have possibly included new versions of other Japanese "Godzilla" universe monsters. However, due to the mixed-to-negative reception of this installment and budgetary concerns, the sequels were ultimately scrapped.
