Trivia

When defending herself from comic book guy's attack on Stratego the movie, the studio executive says that Brett Ratner had the final cut. Ratner doesn't have the final cut of his movies and has been quoted as saying "Why do I need final cut? Final cut is for artistes quote unquote - directors whose movies don't make a lot of money. Maybe Scorsese should have final cut because a guy like Harvey Weinstein or a studio might change it to make it a little more accessible or a little more commercial and he has a vision of what he wants it to be. He wants it to be four hours long or whatever." See more »
