Revealing mistake: When Hellboy is seen filing his horns towards the beginning, as he runs the file along them (right before Broom takes the file), the prosthetic horn stumps are moving up and down unnaturally for a moment. As they are meant to be protruding from his head, they shouldn't be moving up and down as he moves the file back and forth.

Revealing mistake: When the elevator crashes down and Hellboy wakes up and starts to move, the prosthetics on his head move unnaturally around his horns and forehead as he gets up, revealing they aren't real.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Trivia: While Bryan Singer is the sole credited director, three different people served as director for the film. Singer started production, but was fired because he began to behave erratically on-set and would frequently disappear for days on end. (Singer claimed his behavior was due to "pressing health matters.") Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel then stepped in to direct the film for the period immediately after Singer's departure. Finally actor and filmmaker Dexter Fletcher was hired by Fox to direct the final two weeks of principal photography and oversee the editing and reshoots of the film. Due to union rules, Singer was the only credited director, with Fletcher instead being given an executive producer credit for his contributions.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)
Trivia: In an incredibly uncommon move for a Japanese anime, the movie was produced with English as its primary language. The director, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, felt it made sense for the movie to be produced in English given the nature of the material and European influences. This marks a rare instance where the Japanese audio is actually the "dub" in a Japanese film.

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Audio problem: Right before the film ends, the giant spectral Shao Khan says the line "You weak, pathetic fools! I've come for your souls!" His mouth more-or-less matches "You weak, pathetic fools!", but it doesn't match "I've come for your souls!" in the slightest. (It looks as if he's saying something else entirely, and they dubbed in a new line in ADR).

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Lui and the others are walking up to Raiden during the ending, we see a cute shot of Johnny putting his arm around Sonya. The movie then cuts to a wideshot, and he puts his arm around her a second time.

Mortal Kombat (1995)
Continuity mistake: During the ending, watch Liu and Kitana closely as Raiden says the line "I've been looking for you! What took you so long?" Kitana has her arm around Liu's, but lets go and stands a few feet away from him. The camera then cuts to a medium-shot of Liu and Raiden talking. (Kitana is not visible in this shot, as she is standing several feet away.) Then, the camera cuts again to a wider shot, and suddenly Kitana is standing literally right next to Liu and has her arm around his once again.

Romancing the Stone (1984)
Trivia: The studio was so sure the film would be a flop, they preemptively fired director Robert Zemekis from his next project, "Cocoon," and instead gave the job to Ron Howard. Ironically, the film ended up being one of the top-ten grossing films of the year.

Romancing the Stone (1984)
Trivia: The film was written by Diane Thomas. Thomas was a struggling waitress and actress, and had been working odd jobs to make ends meet when she wrote the script. While there is some dispute over how it happened, eventually the script made its way to actor Michael Douglas, who championed Thomas and helped get the movie made. The script was so well-liked, she ended up getting numerous offers, and at one point was even attached to help write one of the "Indiana Jones" sequels. Sadly, she was killed in a car accident only a year after this movie's release, and it remains the only film she was credited for writing.

Trivia: An alternate cut of the film was released on the movie's 10th anniversary in 2017. Dubbed the "Editor's Cut," this version of the film reinstates several deleted scenes, in addition to removing several other scenes for pacing reasons. It also features some alternative musical cues in key scenes. It was initially released as a digital exclusive, before being included in newer Blu-Ray and 4K releases of the "Spider-Man" trilogy.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Trivia: Spoilers. The iconic character Mary Jane Watson was originally meant to be in the film. Actress Shailene Woodley was cast and filmed several scenes, which would have set her up as a love-interest for a potential third film after the death of Gwen Stacey at the end of this movie. However, the character was cut out of the movie during the editing process for pacing reasons.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)
Trivia: A few years after the movie's initial release, an extended cut of the film entitled "Advent Children Complete" was released. It featured updated visuals and twenty minutes of new scenes that helped flesh out the story and supporting characters. "Complete" was released exclusively on Blu-Ray to help promote the format, and was never given a DVD release like the original cut.

Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
Trivia: This film has some notable connections to the comic-book company Marvel. To start, is was released the same summer as the 2002 film "Spider-Man." The Sheriff's family has the last name "Parker," which is the same last name as "Peter Parker", aka Spider-Man. At one point, the mayor asks what attacked, to which another character replies "A spider, man!" as a cheeky reference to the character. And Scarlett Johansson plays a fairly major role in the film... and she would later go on to play Natasha Romanov in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who goes by the codename "Black Widow " which is a breed of spider.
