There’s another city in the world named "Los Angeles". It’s in Chile, in a region called Bío Bío, and is actually written as "Los Ángeles".

The M78 Nebula (where most of the Ultraman warriors come from) is actually a real nebula in the Orion constellation. Of course, there has been no evidence of any giants of light actually coming from there...

EDIT (11-26-21): Corrected some typos I only caught just now. Sorry about that.

The original cut of Erich von Stroheim's Greed was said to be nine hours long but the newly-merged MGM trimmed it down to 140 minutes. The film would get a four-hour extended cut in 1999, using existing stills of cut scenes to reconstruct it.

In The Matrix, Trinity's line "Dodge this" was originally "Dodge this, motherfather" (please note that I censored the MF-bomb with a minced oath).
