In Timesplitters (3): Future Perfect's character selection screen one of the undead characters will say "Do I have red on me?".
A nod back to Shaun of the Dead.

Oh, that's cool, I haven't noticed that. I played TS3 Arcade all the time with my cousins a while back.
in back to the future 1 the mall had a large vacant building so to enforce the fact that this scene takes place at a mall the set builders installed a JC penny sign on the wall in the background.
there was no jc penny at the mall at the time of filming

Timesplitters was the best game series ever in my opinion. So many hours upon hours spent playing splitscreen arcade with friends on my GameCube.
[QUOTE=Alaskan Wolf;31059088]I'm pretty sure this is well known, but Three actors died in a helicopter crash while filming the move 'The Twilight Zone.' The deaths were captured on film from different angles.

jesus christ the video paused to buffer the second they get struck
The head of Universal Pictures wanted the title of Back to the Future to be changed to Spaceman From Pluto, he also wanted the line ''I'm Darth Vader from planet Vulcan'' to be replaced with ''I am a spaceman from Pluto!''
Spielberg sent a response memo saying how funny of a joke it was, the head of Universal was too proud to admit that he was serious so the title and line were kept as they were.
In Sam Raimi's [b]Darkman[/b], you will notice that he has included a '73 Oldsmobile, the one used in his Evil Dead trilogy, but that's not what makes it special. During a closeup of it you will notice the men inside it. They are none other than Joel and Ethan Coen.
everybody probably knows this
In [b]Cast away[/b]. Robert Zemeckis was asked at a Q&A session at USC what was in the unopened packaged. He replied that it was a waterproof, solar-powered, satellite phone.
no spices, bro

[quote=Cast Away Script]For a long time he studies the wings on it. With a stick, he
tries to draw a similar wing on the dusty floor of the cave.
Dissatisfied, he wipes it away. He looks at the Angel Box.
Casually he reaches over and cuts it open with a stone knife.
Inside he finds two bottles of green salsa. And a letter.
He reads over it.
CHUCK
You said our life was a prison. Dull.
Boring. Empty. I can't begin to tell
you how much that hurt. I don't want to
lose you. I'm enclosing some salsa, the
verde you like. Use it on your sticky
rice and think of home. Then come home
-- to me. We'll find the spice in our
lives again. Together. I love you.
Always. Bettina.
Visibly moved, Chuck puts down the letter.

Samuel L. Jackson personally requested a purple lightsaber in [i]Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones[/i] to make Mace Windu stand out. Purple is Jackson’s favorite color and it is often featured on his movie characters. Jackson also knew that Windu was to die in Revenge of the Sith, so he reportedly told Lucas that he would only do the film if he went out in a blaze of glory and not “like some sucka.”

That old car is in all of Raimi's films.
It's funny since he got pushed out a window by a whiny bitch. That's as "Like some sucka" as you can get.

His hilt also has the Initials "BAMF" on it.

I don't think it's in The Quick and The Dead which, for the record, is a Western.

I'm sorry. He got launched out of a window by the pope.
The character of Freddy Krueger was inspired by a hobo who frightened Wes Craven as a child.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31422831]pretty well known one:
The original title for that shitty movie "Cop Out" was "A Couple Of Dicks".[/QUOTE]
The original title for [b]No Strings Attached[/b] was "Fuck Buddies," and you can see why they changed.
There are two posters for Battle Royale in the background of the house in Shaun of The Dead.
Sylvester Stallone broke some ribs in Rambo when he fell down the cliff and landed on the tree branches.
In 'Tokyo Godfathers' and 'Paprika' posters for Satoshi Kon's previous films appear in the background.
If you were to price each sequein on Dorthy's shoes in the original wizard of OZ when they were sold, each one would be worth $290.00.
Because many aspects of the B-52 were classified at the time, the crew of [B]Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb [/B] designed the cockpit set themselves, extrapolating from other designs and using known data to get what they thought would at least be an authentic (if not accurate) result. As it turned out, their design was so close that they ended up receiving attention (and questioning) from the FBI.
I guess this kinda fits in here.
I compiled a thing of a TV crossovers.

L&O character John Munch appeared in the Xfiles episode where they explain the Lone Gunmens' backstory.
I just noticed I have the Lone Gunment-L&O arrow backwards and forget two links with L&O.
[editline]31st July 2011[/editline]
Some interesting stuff about the links.
Assuming that because they're all interconnected, they're in the same reality, that means that every series is under the influence of the alien colonists and governmental bad guys form the X-Files.
And it also means that none of them really exist. St. Elsewhere ended their show by explaining that the entire show,a ll the characters, all the world in the show, and by extension all the worlds that are connected to it, were the hallucination of an autistic boy. Y'know?
And a non-noted connection, In Dr. Who, S1:E2, he compares his dress to Arthur Dent of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and says "Now there's a nice man," suggesting that he'd met him. If both THHG and Dr. Who exist together, then they would contradict each other in the fact that the Earth was destroyed in THHG, unless the Earth in Dr. Who is actually Earth 2, the complete copy of Earth fabricated in case Earth was destroyed, meaning that all of humanity isn't the first version, and that the Doctor seemed to have left that fact out to his companions.
My brain exploded.

That is pretty damn awesome! Who knew so many shows were intertwined.
Also I hate to be the massive bastard that points this out...But it says that Frasier first appeared in Fraiser and then moved to Cheers. But it should be the other way around.
Disney was considering to produce [b]A Nightmare On Elm Street[/b] if Wes Craven cut down on the violence. You can see where that went.
Disney was the original choice for Back to the Future, but turned it down due to the Mother + Son relationship

I met him once- he was engaged to my mom's friend.
Nicest dude ever. He was working on Ben 10 at the time, and was engaged to my mom's friend. Just because I liked his show and I was a young lad at the time, he basically spoiled me for really integral surprises of Ben 10: Alien Force, which didn't come out for a year or so. He was a really great dude.
Unfortunately he passed away this year due to heart complications. It was a real shame too... :(
