* Tywin was famous enough that an extremely popular song was written about something he did as a teenager (The Rains of Castamere), and had children long before he was as old as Benedict is in this film. They would surely recognize that he was replaced by someone else, especially since...
* He would not know the language spoken around him, as the text is translated to English and is not supposed to represent literally what is being said.

Danny's living experience really sucks, which explains why he's so into watching action movies. Considering he's such an action film fan, he eventually grows up to expand his palette to other films and eventually goes to film school. He eventually starts his film career and he does a rendering of his adventure with Jack as a SerialNumbersFiledOff version of the events. It isn't well received because it goes up against a film from a high profile director and ends up becoming a cult classic.

[[WMG:Danny disappears after the ending of the movie]]
There is no way he's staying in the real world after getting his ticket. The one thing that his character development doesn't cover is moving on from his constant escapism. He's probably going to leave his mom a letter inventing some excuse and then disappear into movie land for the next few decades. Maybe the plot of the sequel would involve him returning to the real world in the 2020s and realizing how terrible and unoriginal movies have become since his time.

*** Also, assuming the timeframe of the real world in the film is 1993 and Tom Noonan himself isn't seen at the premiere, he was probably on the set filming an independent film called ''What Happened Was...'', which he starred, written, directed, edited and composed (based on a stage play of his). So, he may not have even been in New York at the time of the filming if it's the same.

** This is never stated, it only allows transport from movie worlds.
* Another reason it might fail is because of YourMagicsNoGoodHere, Jack is shown to not be able to do most of the things he can do in his movie's world, he can't walk off bullet wounds or a smash a car window barehanded, while Death is shown maybe killing someone, it could just be that he knew the person was going to die, Benedict could summon all of those horror creatures but they would just be freakishly looking creatures here with no power.

If Danny hadn't ended up in the film, Jack's daughter Whitney would have been Jack's sidekick for the film. This would explain why Whitney was featured in the promotional standee (if she was a one-scene wonder, she wouldn't have been featured in any promotional material). The whole setup with kissing the French student makes sense in a comedic stance, so she would have still applied to the "comedic sidekick" trope that Danny recognizes himself as while also being the bad-ass sidekick as well.

[[WMG: Had Benedict's plan to kill Arnold had worked, Jack simply would have been recasted.]]
It seems rather smart that Benedict would send Ripper to kill Arnold, thus making it impossible for there to be more ''Jack Slater'' films. However, Benedict failed to do his research on movies while figuring out the real world. If the ''Jack Slater'' films were successful, even if Arnold had died, there's a good chance that Jack would have been recasted. There are many examples of times where actors have replaced other actors in roles due to certain circumstances, which includes death. A great example of this is Richard Harris and Michael Gambon playing Dumbledore in the ''Harry Potter'' film adaptations. Due to Richard Harris' death, Michael Gambon was casted as his replacement for the remainder of the series. Another great example is literally brought up by Benedict himself: Hannibal Lector. Though at the time, Anthony Hopkins was known for his portrayal as Hannibal Lector, but people forgot that Brian Cox played Lector in ''Manhunter'' (even Clarice Starling ended up being played by two different actresses in two different films due to Foster pulling out of the project after Jonathan Demme left the ''Hannibal'' project, with Julianne Moore taking her place when Ridley Scott took over as director). And James Bond has been portrayed by multiple actors over the years due to previous actors wanting to move on from the project. So, if Arnold had been murdered, Hollywood would have pumped out another Jack Slater film with a new actor in the role (and, more than likely, it would have been Sylvester Stallone to take over for Arnold).
