Before he left the Ant-Man project, Edgar Wright actually wrote an after-credits scene intended for this film. It never made it into the finished cut, and details on what it would have shown have stayed pretty scarce ever since.
Wu Zi Mu, better known as Woozie, leads the San Fierro Triads despite being completely blind, something he reveals to CJ partway through their partnership. Somehow he still races cars competitively and wins, which the game treats as just another one of his many talents rather than explaining away.
Brotherhood shifted a million copies across Europe in under a week, which at the time made it the fastest-selling Ubisoft title the continent had ever seen. Ubisoft's own marketing chief credited the multiplayer mode for turning what had been a single-player brand into something with much broader appeal.
It wasn't just the game flying off shelves. Prima's official Halo 2 strategy guide sold over 270,000 copies on launch day, which publisher Random House said was its best first-day book sales since Bill Clinton's autobiography came out. A game guide outselling a former president's memoir on day one is a pretty good measure of how big this thing was.
During the filming of 'Grilled,' Raymond Cruz (Tuco) threw Aaron Paul through a screen door so hard that Paul cracked his head on the frame and briefly blacked out. Cruz thought he was still acting and kept the scene going until a medic stepped in.
Robert Downey Jr. has a habit of sneaking food onto set to keep himself going through long days, and a lot of Tony Stark's snack moments came from that habit rather than the script. The bit where he offers everyone food around the table apparently wasn't planned at all.
When Machiavelli asks how Ezio recruited the city's guilds, Ezio credits "Virtù," a real concept from Machiavelli's writing on leadership. Later, Machiavelli jokes about writing a book on Ezio one day, a wink at Machiavelli's real, famously short work, The Prince.
Composer Marty O'Donnell didn't just score the game — his own voice was recorded and processed to create the guttural sound effects used for Hunters, Jackals and the Flood, so in a strange way the monsters of Halo all share one vocal cord.
When Downey Jr first read the script he pushed hard for Tony to lead the opening sequence, telling Whedon 'I need to be in the opening sequence, Tony needs to drive this thing.' They actually tried filming it that way, but Downey himself admitted it didn't work, saying everyone else just ended up feeling like 'an arm of the octopus' around him.
Nicolas Cage grew up reading comics, so getting a call about Spider-Man Noir was a dream gig for him, especially once the filmmakers told him to just have fun with it. Since Noir is a hard-boiled 1930s detective rendered in black and white, Cage leaned on Humphrey Bogart for the clipped, fast-talking delivery, figuring it would land with both noir fans and kids discovering the genre for the first time.
