Vince Gilligan revealed that AMC allowed only one use of the term 'fukk' per season. Gilligan took this opportunity and used it with effect at all times.

Samuel L. Jackson showed up unannounced during filming on the Pollos Hermanos set one day, dressed in his Nick Fury outfit from The Avengers (2012). Both productions of Breaking Bad and The Avengers were happening on the same studio lot, and Jackson wanted to be an extra during the scene being filmed. The producers denied his request to appear as Nick Fury on the show.

The popularity of the TV series spawned a cottage industry for a variety of Albuquerque (NM) citizens, including everything from cosmetics, spa, bathroom and 'blue rock' candy products to a tour of both the good and bad locations used in the series. They actually had a real tombstone buried in a lot in Albuqueque dedicated to Walter White, and was removed after all the disruptions it caused.

I just interviewed the director of Anchorman 2 Adam Mckay which I will post on here when it runs. He told me who were potentially up for the main roles:
Paul Rudd's role came down to him and Bob Odenkirk or Sal from Breaking Bad, James Spader wanted to play Steve Carells part but they picked Steve, Leslie Mann, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams were also up for Christina Applegates role.

In the new Anchorman 2 some of the cameos they tried to get but got turned down:
Oprah, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama

Viggo Mortensen parried a real dagger thrown at him shooting LotR. The stuntman who threw it was suppose to miss him and hit a tree but due to his makeup obscuring his vision, the knife was heading straight for Mortensen. Had he not blocked the knife, he would have been seriously injured or dead. The director thought the parry was so awesome that he left it in the film.

Ironman series and avengers

The script was not completely prepared when filming began, since the filmmakers were more focused on the story and the action, so the dialogue was mostly ad-libbed throughout filming; Jon Favreau acknowledged this made the film feel more natural. Some scenes were shot with two cameras to capture lines improvised on the spot; Robert Downey Jr. would ask for many takes of one scene since he wanted to try something new. Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other hand, had a difficult time trying to match Downey with a suitable line, as she never knew what he would say.

400 extras were meant to be filmed standing at Tony Stark's press conference, but Robert Downey Jr. suggested they ought to sit down, as that would be more realistic and comfortable. To avoid spoilers about the final press conference, the extras were told that it was a dream sequence.

Jon Favreau wanted Robert Downey Jr. because he felt the actor's past was right for the part. He commented: "The best and worst moments of Robert's life have been in the public eye. He had to find an inner balance to overcome obstacles that went far beyond his career. That's Tony Stark. Robert brings a depth that goes beyond a comic book character having trouble in high school, or can't get the girl." Favreau also felt Downey could make Stark "a likable a$$hole", but also depict an authentic emotional journey once he won over the audience.

The montage of Tony Stark's life story was created by editor Kyle Cooper, and contains real-life photos of a young Robert Downey Jr. and his father Robert Downey Sr..

Ghostface Killah, a long-time fan of the Iron Man comics (he uses the aliases "Ironman" and "Tony Starks", titled his 1996 album "Ironman" and samples clips of Iron Man (1966)), got a cameo as a Dubai tyc00n. However, his scene was cut from the final film. Jon Favreau apologized to Ghostface and used his "We Celebrate" video in the film.

A lot of Whiplash's identifying features were suggested by Mickey Rourke himself. He wanted to perform half of his role in Russian, and consulted on the character's tattoos and gold teeth as well as having a pet cockatoo. In fact, Rourke paid for the bird and the gold teeth out of his own pocket.

The DJ at Tony's birthday party is DJ-AM who died after principal photography had wrapped, making this his last film project. During the end credits, the film is dedicated to him.

The rooftop where Tony and Pepper kiss at the end of the movie is located on an apartment building overlooking Flushing Meadows where Jon Favreau lived as a child.

'Robert Downey, Jr.' kept food hidden all over the lab set and apparently nobody could find where it was, so they just let him continue doing it. In the movie, that's his actual food he's offering and when he was eating, it wasn't scripted. He was just hungry.

The final end credit scene was added after Robert Downey Jr.. encouraged a scene rewrite: after Tony Stark falls back to Earth, he originally awakens and asks, "What's next?". Robert Downey Jr. thought the line could be more interesting, and the idea of going to a local shawarma restaurant was born. The scene was added one day after the global premiere. Since then, shawarma sales in Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Boston have reportedly skyrocketed.
In the final end credit scene, Captain America is the only one not eating. That is because Chris Evans got a buzz cut and grew out his beard after The Avengers was done filming. He was called in later to do this extra scene and refused to shave off his beard due to having been filming Snowpiercer (2013) at the time, so they gave him the prosthetic jaw. He holds his hand over his face because the prosthetic made him look like he'd been attacked by a hive of angry bees. He also is unable to eat or talk with the prosthetic on. The wig he wears as Captain America is also quite clearly visible in certain shots of this scene.

Thor is knocked off screen three times: once by Iron Man and twice by Hulk.

The shocked expression of Loki after being slammed by Hulk was created by animation director Marc Chu shaking Hiddleston violently and repeatedly.

The Post-credit scene at the end of Iron Man 3 with Bruce Banner was Robery Downey Jr's idea

  • For the Simpsons Movie, the script for the voice work was to be kept so secret that the producers personally shred the script after every voicing session and since 2003 158 different scripts were written.
  • Homer is the only character to have a voice in every episode
  • Three of The Beatles have appeared on the show - George Harrison (Homer's Barbershop Quartet), Ringo Starr (Brush With Greatness) and Paul McCartney (Lisa the Vegetarian). There is an episode dedicated to the memory of George Harrison. John Lennon died long before the show premiered, however his song 'Mother' was used in an episode, meaning all four Beatles' voices have appeared on the show in some shape or form. Also, Paul McCartney would only appear on the show if Lisa remained a vegatarian for the rest of series.
  • In the episode "Lisa the Greek" Lisa, angry at Homer for tricking her into helping him gamble on football, makes a bet that if she loves him the winner of the Super Bowl will be The Washington Redskins and if she doesn't The Buffalo Bills would come out on top (Washington won). Actually when the show premiered just before the Super Bowl those two teams were actually squaring off in Superbowl XXVI and Washington came out on top 37-24. Over the next three years Fox made it a tradition to air the episode just before the Super Bowl and change the dialogue so that the teams would include whatever teams were playing that year. According to the DVD commentary Lisa accurately picked the winning team every single year.
  • In the scripts, Homer's "D'oh" is written as "(ANNOYED GRUNT)", Marge's disapproving murmur is written as "(FRUSTRATED MURMUR)", and Professor Frink's mumblings are written as "(FRINK NOISE)".
  • Marge Simpson "posed" naked for Playboy in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the show. The issue was released October 16th, 2009.
  • Lionel Hutz says he got his law degree from Princeton. Although most Ivy League schools offer a law degree, Princeton does not, which helps confirm that he is phony.
