5'''Deadpool:''' Easy now, hey. The only F-bomb we're using around here is Fred Savage. Now, I want you to take a deep breath an listen very carefully, Frederick. You're in a PG-13 version of ''Deadpool 2'', which means we only get two "sh**"s, one "f**k", and a glass of white wine.\

80->As I think back on the original {{Wrestling/Goldust}} character, it’s pretty amazing how different it wound up being. The original premise was that he [[TheMovieBuff loved movies]] and would thus quote them throughout his promos...This also leads to a fascinating discussion wherein [[Wrestling/JerryLawler The King]] notes maybe Goldust is related to ''Goldfinger'' and {{Wrestling/Vince|McMahon}} saying he remembers “Miss Galore” but doesn’t remember her first name. I bet this is the exact moment when Vince decided they needed to do the Wrestling/AttitudeEra. Just so he could mention the first name of '''MISS GALORE.'''

86->''Monsters, for some unexplained reason, [[NoBodyLeftBehind explode in a ball of fire]] rather than leaving bodies behind; presumably suicide-bombers are somehow more family friendly. Rather than ritual murders, you investigate [[NeverSayDie kidnappings]]...There's really no reason to play this game at all. Please don't.''

89->''It might be worth noting that a terminology change was made in the North American localization of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. The English script refers to Edea as [[VainSorceress a sorceress]], but what she's called in the original Japanese is evidently a lot closer to "[[WickedWitch witch]]." Interesting choice. "Witch" is a bit of a loaded term; Square's American branch probably worried that players would associate it with pointy hats and broomsticks, inadvertently softening the impact... Edea speaking of the populace's deep-seated hatred and fear towards sorceresses isn't terribly evocative; the scene probably would have struck more of a chord with English-speaking audiences had she referred to people hating and fearing ''[[BurnTheWitch witches]]'' instead. Ah, well.''

105->''"Then the word came down from a lawyer at Columbia working for [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnie]] that he didn't want to be associated with violence and the game should not feature him wielding guns. Even dynamite was included which messed up the plans for a toy company that was ready to go with a ''Last Action Hero'' doll holding dynamite -- I heard they ended up [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms recoloring it bright orange so it doesn't look quite like dynamite]]."''
