Trivia

To make the Ravagers' belts, prop master Russell Bobbitt had his team cut the leather themselves, rather than buying existing belts, and then parts from different electronic devices, such as radios and cell phones, were glued together to make each belt unique and specific to the character.

Goofs

The trailer dialogue between Star Lord and Gamora about her holding a rifle is different from the final release, but it should be noted that some scenes in a trailer could be changed or deleted in the final cut.

User Reviews

Great tone

I liked the humour, the characters the cgi and the production design. I liked the father-son relationship on display. It's not a perfect film and not especially memorable, but amongst the Marvel Canon it's one of their best.
