Trivia
Seth Rogen proclaimed the film was a "nightmare", chalking it up to studio executives paying little attention to the most expensive portions of the film, and its inflated budget.

Goofs
When Britt and Kato arrive back at the Reid mansion right before their brawl through Britt's rooms, it is night. But during the fight, daylight can be seen through a window.

Quotes
Britt Reid: Kato, I want you to take my hand, and I want you to come with me on this adventure.
Kato: I go with you, but I don't want to touch you.

Crazy credits
The light coming from the torch is green, instead of its usual combination of rainbow, twinkling colors. This green quickly dominates the screen after the appearance of the word "Columbia" and flares to a white hot burning image mixed with the green.

Alternate versions
Also released in a 3D version.

Funny action, but not going to blow you away

What I expected from a Seth Rogen film. I enjoyed the goofy humor mixed in with very cool weapons, and kick butt martial arts action. I would have to say this movie targets guys and people under the age of 30 or so. You have to take the movie for what it is worth, if you are a serious person looking for A+ acting with a top-notch storyline then you should skip this movie. However, if you still have a kid inside you that enjoys laughing, not taking things to seriously, and comic's/super hero action then you will enjoy this film. The villain Christoph Waltz who also starred in Inglourious Basterds also helped make the film worth seeing in my opinion, and he had one of the sweetest gun's I've seen in a movie. Other big actors in the film include Cameron Diaz & Tom Wilkinson.

Even though I liked this movie, I think most people would not feel liked they missed out on anything too special if they waited for DVD. It's a fun movie, with good special effects, fight scenes, and a laid back attitude, but nothing that will blow you away.
