Added DiffLines:

* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/AlanRitchson originally auditioned for Finnick Odair, but was rejected because he was too old (he was 30 at the time, whereas Finnick was in his early 20s). He was cast as Gloss instead.

* DeletedScene: One deleted scene showed Plutarch Heavensbee burning the envelope containing the originally planned twist for the Quarter Quell, confirming a theory many fans of the book had that the "Tributes Selected From Past Winners" twist was a specific attempt to target Katniss.

* FanNickname: The appearance of the white-haired, bearded Creator/DonaldSutherland in winter scenes has now led to fans referring to Snow as President Santa Claus, or Evil Santa.

Added DiffLines:

* CaliforniaDoubling: Whereas the entirety of the first movie was shot in North Carolina, ''Catching Fire'' and both parts of ''Mockingjay'' were filmed in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}, Georgia. Notably:
** The town square and Justice Building of District 11 is actually a warehouse complex on Murphy Avenue, southwest of downtown Atlanta
** President Snow's mansion is the 1920s Swan House in Buckhead, in northern Atlanta. The estate's Morning Room was transformed into Snow’s office.
** The Justice Building of District 12, where Katniss and Peeta once again find themselves drafted to fight the deadly games, is the Goat Farm Arts Center, a complex of 19th Century former industrial buildings on Atlanta’s west side.
** The victors’ living quarters in the Capitol is actually Atlanta’s Marriott Marquis Hotel
** The backstage area for the chariot parade, where Katniss meets Finnick, is actually the parking garage for the Georgia World Congress Center. The Victory Tour stage itself is the city’s Peachtree [=DeKalb=] Airport – embellished with CGI.
** The island of Oahu, Hawaii represents the Quarter Quell arena.
** Because Georgia apparently couldn’t provide the wintery backdrop for the opening scenes of Katniss suffering post-traumatic flashbacks as she hunts in the woods with Gale, the scene was filmed in Ramapo Mountain State Forest in northern New Jersey.

Hey Its That Guy and Hey Its That Voice examples are being cut per TRS.


* HeyItsThatGuy:
** Johanna is [[Film/SuckerPunch Rocket]] and Finnick is [[Film/SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman William]] and Plutarch is [[Film/{{Capote}} Truman Capote]].
** Enobaria used to be a BAU agent named [[Series/CriminalMinds Jordan Todd]].
** [[Film/PrideAndPrejudice Mr. Bennet]] is the President of Panem and his daughter, Lydia, sure can use an axe.
*** So Johanna is not just angry at Snow for messing up her Panem life, she's also mad at him for what happened in her RegencyEngland life!
** [[Series/BoardwalkEmpire Valetin Narcisse]] is Beetee. The effect was enhanced by the film being released at the same time season 4 of ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'' was broadcast.
*** Alternatively, Beetee is also CIA Agent [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Felix]] [[Film/QuantumOfSolace Leiter]].
** Gloss has some experience with [[Series/{{Smallville}} water-based combat.]]
*** Or maybe we just found out the reason that [[Series/BlueMountainState Thad Castle takes rabies shots]].
