Gear 5 Was Inspired by Tom and Jerry
Oda has said the slapstick, cartoon-logic battle between Luffy and Kaido drew directly from watching Tom and Jerry. He initially worried that kind of pure physical comedy wouldn't fit a story where Kaido is meant to be deadly serious, but he found a way to let Luffy's newfound goofiness collide with Kaido's menace without undercutting either.
The Ridge Racer Track
One of the more fiddly secrets in the game unlocks a genuine little race track. You have to stand in two very specific spots and aim your reticule just right, and the payoff is a wink to Ridge Racer. It's the kind of thing that only exists because someone on the dev team clearly loved that series.
Night Versions of the Maps Almost Existed
Digging through old build files shows Infinity Ward experimented with night-time versions of several multiplayer maps, including Ambush, Strike, District and Overgrown. They were basically identical to the day versions bar the lighting, and none of them made the final cut.
A 96% Audience Score That Silenced Doubters
Given Netflix's rocky track record with anime adaptations, expectations were shaky going in. The show ended up landing a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes from over ten thousand ratings, one of the highest audience scores any Netflix original had earned at that point.
Marceline's Dad Is Voiced By Her Real Dad

John Marston Had Already Been in the Gang 15 Years
By the time Red Dead Redemption 2 opens, John Marston has already spent fifteen years riding with Dutch's gang, having only recently come back after running off for a year. It's a detail that quietly reshapes how you read his whole arc once you know just how long he'd been in this life before the story even starts.
The Pizza-on-the-Roof Scene Was One Take
Walt hurling a pizza onto the roof in frustration looks effortless, and that's because it basically was — Bryan Cranston nailed the throw on the very first try, and the crew reportedly considered it a one-in-a-million shot.
The Jaximus Skin Honours a Make-A-Wish Kid
The Jaximus skin has a genuinely heartfelt story behind it. It was created to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation after a young patient visiting Riot named Jax as his favourite champion, and every so often Jax will still say "here's to you, kid" as a small tribute to him.
Writing Started During Civil War Shoots
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely didn't just sit down one day and bang out Infinity War and Endgame. They started plotting both films years earlier during downtime on the Civil War set, scribbling ideas while the cast was off filming other scenes.
