27 Random Bits of Movie Trivia That Got Stuck to the Bottom of Our Shoe on the Way Out of the Theater

After the movie in our hometown movie theater ended, we shook our heads in disgust at all the garbage on the aisle floors. We thought that we lived amongst a bunch of filthy litterbugs, but once we peeled off our shoes, we realized that the movie itself dropped them there. 

It wanted these fun little facts about itself to come home with us. We’ve watched a ton of movies there since then, and here’s all the messy tidbits we gathered up afterward. You guys check these out while we go wash our hands.

Inside Out

Inside Out was inspired by the creators trying to figure out their kids. Specifically, trying to figure out what was happening in their kids' heads as they grew up and changed dramatically in the span of a few years. CRACKED.COM

The Iron Giant

Brad Bird's loss of his sister partly inspired The Iron Giant. She died of gun violence, and he approached the movie from the angle of What if a gun had a soul? The connection was subconscious when he pitched it, but his feelings about gun violence definitely ended up in the movie, he says. CRACKED.COM

Star Wars

CAPTAIN PHASMA IS A TRIBUTE TO A 1979 CULT CLASSIC. If this one doesn't scare you... You're Already Dead!

Dracula

Bram Stocker's Dracula Dracula's castle is modeled after 1903's The Black Idol, by František Kupka - a Czech painter with a keen interest for the occult. CRACKED.COM

Dr. Strangelove

Peter Sellers based Dr. Strangelove's voice on a little-known photographer's. Sellers couldn't figure out what voice to do for Dr. Strangelove, so he eventually based it on the kind of strangled-sounding voice of the photographer Weegee, who Sellers had heard around the set. CRACKED.COM

Se7en

David Fincher was convinced to make Se7en after the studio sent him the wrong script. The studio didn't want the head-in-the-box ending but accidentally sent Fincher a script with the scene left in. The producer still objected to it, but Brad Pitt refused to act in the film unless the scene was kept. CRACKED NOW YOU KNOW

The Day After Tomorrow

CLIMATE CHANGE MOVIES THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW THE SCRIPT WAS SOLD IN A FLASH AUCTION. Studios had only 24 hours to decide if they bought it, and they had to guarantee that the movie would get made, no buts. Most studios replied with buts, with only Fox saying yes. CRACKED.COM
