Before it settled on the simple, blunt title we all know, Matt Reeves' film was going by the working title 'Vengeance' during production. Given how much the movie leans into Bruce's obsession with payback (and that improvised line he screams at the train station), it's honestly a fitting alternate name.
Look closely at WoW's original launch cinematic and you'll notice something missing: no gnomes, no trolls. Both races were added so late into alpha development that they never made it into the trailer, long after the other six playable races had already been locked in.
Not long after the Acapulco remake aired, Thailand's Kantana Public Company put together its own 18-part local adaptation of Gossip Girl, part of a bigger wave of Warner Bros. formats being reworked for different countries around that time.
Rename a Vindicator 'Johnny' and it stops caring about teams entirely, turning hostile toward every other mob in the game except Ghasts and fellow illagers. It's a direct nod to Jack Nicholson's iconic 'Here's Johnny!' moment from The Shining, and once that name tag goes on there's no calming him back down.
During the Downfall mission inside the Reichstag, you can hear the exact same eerie shrieks, roars and ghostly laughter that show up on the Verrückt zombies map. It's a strange, spooky bit of audio overlap between the grounded campaign and the far more supernatural side mode.
In the training mission F.N.G., if you retry the CQB test and start doing worse, Captain Price grumbles that maybe it was a mistake letting you skip the obstacle course. Funny thing is, there really was a much larger obstacle course planned for that mission before it got cut, so the line is basically a joke about content that never made it in.
Jonathan Nolan wrote the first draft of the screenplay, and it clocked in at roughly 400 pages. Since a page of script usually equals about a minute of screen time, that would've made for a genuinely absurd runtime before anyone started trimming it down.
Subject 16 hid twenty encoded Glyphs across the Animus recreation of Renaissance Italy, five in Florence, one in Monteriggioni, five in Tuscany, two in Romagna, and seven in Venice, each unlocking a fragment of the video known as "The Truth."
Stick around for the credits and you'll hear the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme from Super Mario Galaxy playing over the top, widely considered one of the best pieces of music Nintendo has ever put in a Mario game, so it's a genuinely lovely way to send the audience off.
