30 Movie Trivia Tidbits

By:: Cracked Plasticians

January 28, 2013

DVD commentary tracks require you to slog through hours of actors complimenting each other and barely interested directors to find a single interesting fact. And you know what? We found ‘em. We found basically all of them! Did we put them all in this article? No. That would be selfish. But we found some of the best ones.
