Voice actor Wes Johnson returned to the Elder Scrolls series to voice Sheogorath, Emperor Titus Mede II, the Spectral Assassin, the Wretched Abyss (Hermaeus Mora), and the game's Dremora, plus Hermaeus Mora again in the Dragonborn expansion.
Forget the guy in a purple suit and glider from other adaptations. This Green Goblin takes his cue from the more monstrous version found in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, ending up as a hulking, scaly, 22-foot-tall creature with a purple tongue rather than anything resembling a costume.
Stan Lee's cameo in this one isn't just his little shop scene. The 180-odd animators on the film were all diehard Marvel fans and every single one of them wanted a shot at drawing him, so the directors let them sneak him in wherever they could. Pause the movie any time a subway train rattles past in the background and there's a very good chance you'll spot him sat inside it. It ended up being his last ever voice role.
Outside of the name players know him by, Diablo also goes by al'Diabolos in older Horadric texts, and followers of the Triune sect refer to him as Dialon, the Spirit of Determination. Different cultures in Sanctuary clearly weren't on the same page about what to call the Lord of Terror.
For his audition, Pattinson didn't get a custom suit, he was put in Val Kilmer's actual Batman Forever costume. The cowl was way too big and made him look like a bobblehead, so the crew swapped it for George Clooney's cowl from Batman & Robin instead. Funnily enough, Christian Bale went through basically the same setup for his own Dark Knight screen test years earlier.
As part of their heavily localised English version, 4Kids replaced the original Japanese opening 'We Are' by Hiroshi Kitadani with an entirely new track called 'Pirate Rap.' It's one of the more infamous relics of that early dub era and a big reason fans steer newcomers toward later, more faithful releases instead.
Harry Lloyd, who voices the chronically ill genius Viktor, first became widely known playing Viserys Targaryen in the very first season of Game of Thrones. He layers on a distinct accent for Viktor, so it's an easy one to miss unless someone points it out.
Pickle Rick didn't just become a fan favorite, it also won Rick and Morty its first ever Emmy, taking home Outstanding Animated Program at the 2018 Creative Arts Emmys. It beat out some genuinely stiff competition that year, including episodes of The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and South Park.
New Reno has no mayor and no police force. Instead, four crime families, the Bishops, Mordinos, Wrights, and Salvatores, run the whole city between them, keeping just enough order to protect their own businesses while shipping troublemakers off to a nearby graveyard town. It's basically a wasteland Vegas run entirely by the mob.
