you a rapid fire dose of movie trivia you never thought to look for. Screen Rant presents:

Know Your Movies: 20 Amazing Movie Secrets That Will Blow Your Mind!

Jurassic World

The product placement in the Jurassic Park sequel stuck out like a sore thumb - but it

wasn't the studio's work. The director actually requested the sponsors, claiming that if the

park were opened today, every part of it would be branded.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

The final battle is set in Sokovia, but it was filmed at a London police training college.

The statue in the town square was given a fake beard, since it's a well-known monument

to Robert Peel, the inventor of the modern police force, and the reason British cops

are still called "bobbies."

Furious Seven (NOT "7")

The director James Wan ("Juan") confused everyone when he said that the seven in the title was

the WORD, not the movie's place in the series. Why? Apparently the movie's title is actually

a tribute to the classic Japanese movie Seven Samurai, with Wan seeing Dominic Toretto and

his team as Hollywood's modern - horsepowered - Samurai.

The Martian

The secret NASA mission to save a stranded astronaut is given the title "Project Elrond,"

a reference to a secret meeting in The Lord of the Rings. When Ridley Scott realized Sean

Bean was actually IN that movie scene, and would also explain the name in this film,

he wanted to change it. But the crew demanded it stay, since the joke was actually a hilarious

coincidence.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation Tom Cruise is famous for doing his own massive

stunts, climbing skyscrapers or hanging onto an airplane. But the actor's training even

covers the stunt driving in Rogue Nation. It wasn't to meet the star's demands, either

- the stunt coordinator claimed he didn't have a stunt driver who was better than Cruise.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Back in 1983, when interviewed about Return Of The Jedi, Mark Hamill gave an interview

to TV-AM in the UK and told reporters George Lucas spoke of bringing Luke Skywalker back

as an Obi-Wan type character training a new generation of Jedi in Episode VII. He also

said Episode VII wouldn’t happen until 2011…

Ant-Man

Any superhero actor has to hit the gym before shooting their scenes, but apparently, Paul

Rudd was more committed to getting into shape than Marvel expected. When they started shooting,

the Ant-Man costume had to be altered to compensate for Rudd's added muscle and lost fat. And

an unscripted shirtless scene was added shortly after.

Mad Max: Fury Road

The villain of Fury Road is larger than life in every way - except for the weapon he seems

to be praying to. That's an authentic Australian waddy, a weapon used as recently as World

War I. When the actor's mother-in-law left it to him, he asked the director to work it

into the movie, and the rest is history.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel may be churning out blockbusters, but they don't spend money if they don't have

to. The massive set constructed for the Kyln prison in Guardians of the Galaxy was so expensive

to build, the studio only agreed to foot the bill after planning to melt down all the steel

after filming, and sell it back to the supplier.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The Nick Fury chase scene through city streets was a hit with fans because it actually seemed

realistic - but they didn't know just how realistic it was. The sequence was based on

a 2010 Brazilian police chase that looks exactly the same, and the directors even played the

police video as part of their original pitch to Marvel.

The LEGO Movie

A major highlight of the movie is Liam Neeson's role as both Good Cop and Bad Cop. The directors

wanted to record them separately, but Neeson thought it would be better to rapidly switch

from one to the other. The result was a crazed, manic split-personality filled with improvisation

- and fans loved every second.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

The movie that rebooted the X-Men movie universe had it all: new mutants, returning favorites...

even a romance between Wolverine and Storm. The future scene was deleted, but it showed

the movie versions of the heroes finally gave in to their attraction like they had multiple

times in the comics. Maybe the second time is the charm.

Dawn of the Planet of The Apes

The movie's original ending saw the apes watching as battleships approached in San Francisco

Bay, promising an imminent war. Director Matt Reeves decided to go with a more emotional

ending between the movie's ape and human leads. It's a incredible ending scene, even though

it was filmed weeks before release, Reeves directing via Skype, and a stand-in for Andy

Serkis' actually on set.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

It may have killed Sony's solo Spider-Man series, but the original ending would have

had fans talking for years. Peter's father Richard Parker coming back from the dead is

one thing, but showing Venom in OsCorp's basement - along with the frozen head of Norman Osborn

- leaves every fan with unanswered questions of what would have come next.

Gone Girl

In all the suspense and twists and turns of this story, audiences probably missed some

time-consuming CG effects. According to director David Fincher, with the number and variety

of wigs that star Rosamund Pike had to wear, there isn't a single shot of her in the movie

that didn't require a special effects team to retouch her hairline. Who knew to even

look?

Man of Steel

When Henry Cavill showed up for his Superman screen test, the prototype costume wasn't

available - so they used the classic Christopher Reeve version instead. When Cavill stepped

out of wardrobe in the brightly coloured, outdated suit with bright red underwear, and

everyone on set grew quiet, he knew he had found the man for the job.

Interstellar

The sprawling corn field used in just a few scenes required 500 acres to be planted and

grown. It might sound like insanity on Christopher Nolan's part, but when shooting wrapped, the

corn was sold - for a hefty profit.

Frozen

Most fans know this Disney hit is based on "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen.

But the main characters' names are no coincidence. Say them out loud fast enough, and "Hans,

Kristoff, Anna, Sven" is clearly a play on the author's name that few will catch on their

own.

Jurassic Park

Director Steven Spielberg had young actresses record blood-curdling screams to see how they'd

handle the movie's terrifying twists. When he played actress Ariana Richards' tape, and

it was the only recorded Scream to raise his wife from bed in a panic, he realized he had

found his Lex.
