Trivia: Pennywise's constant drooling was a happy accident. Bill Skarsgard kept drooling due to the false teeth he was wearing, and director Andy Muschietti loved the look of it and incorporated it into the character.

It (1990)
Trivia: Director and co-writer Tommy Lee Wallace reportedly hadn't read the book when he made the mini-series. He based his writing and direction around the pre-existing work of Lawrence Cohen, who had written earlier drafts of the series. Wallace felt that the film should stand on its own, and thus he didn't feel the need to read the book at the time. He has since read the book and admitted he felt the mini-series fell a little short as an adaptation.

Trivia: Jarred Blancard, who played young Henry Bowers, was very much the polar opposite of his savage character.

Trivia: The film was comprised of 160,000 still images. At the time, it used a record 327 different colors - many of which were created specifically for the film. Part of the reason it used so many colors was because a lot of the film takes place at night, which requires a completely different set of paints.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
Trivia: Originaly, Sheeva was meant to have a larger presence in the film, and was even going to have a two-on-one fight scene with Liu Kang and Raiden. Unfortunately, last minute budget cuts meant that most of her scenes had to be scrapped. This explains her limited screentime and rather abrupt, unceremonious death.

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Trivia: Actor and stunt performer Steve James was reportedly cast (or at very least was the favorite pick) for the part of Jax, which was originally meant to be a larger role. Tragically, he passed away from cancer nine months before filming started. The part ended up going to Gregory McKinney.

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Trivia: The producers desperately wanted the techno and electronic dance music featured in the film, but reportedly many record companies fought against it and turned down the project. One record company even suggested that instead of techno and EDM, Janet Jackson should provide most of the music, and that it should all be pop based. The producers persisted, and it eventually worked out - they got the music they wanted and the soundtrack album ended up going platinum.
