* Negasonic Teenage Warhead nonchalantly throws her phone over her shoulder before charging Angel Dust. Seems out of character for the PhoneaholicTeenager to ditch her phone, right? Except shortly afterwards, we see that using her powers destroys her clothing... so it was going to get wrecked anyway. It's probably safer on the ground where she threw it (most cellphones can take a little fall without damage) than it would be anywhere near her. It is probably also why she keeps her hair short, since that can easily catch fire with her powers. Alternately, her hair might be burned off at that length every time.

* At the laundromat, Blind Al advises Wade to use seltzer water and lemon to wash blood out of clothing; "Or wear red, dumbass." She obviously can't ''see'' him, but she easily tell that someone's standing next to the washers with along with something that reeks of blood, so an idiot rubbing blood-soaked clothing with a pre-treat pen is a reasonable conclusion.

* Deadpool uses twin .50AE Desert Eagle Mark XIX magnum pistols. Widely regarded as a terrible handgun for a variety of reasons (loud, expensive, high recoil, difficult to conceal carry, ostentatious, finicky gas system, etc) using such a gun fits Deadpool's character really well; like him it's loud, brash, impractical, powerful (especially since he mainly goes for headshots, a .50AE is not a round a target will survive being shot in the head or body with), holds a manageable number of rounds (7+1 in the chamber, meaning less time spent loading magazines) and is intimidating as hell. Since he has superpowers he can also handle the immense recoil of such a gun one-handed with little problem.

Before he became Deadpool he used a Para-Ordnance P14 .45, an M1911 variant that holds 14 rounds of .45 ACP which is a proven man-stopper.

* While it's hard if not impossible to ever feel bad about any injury Ajax receives, his ability and what it means for injuries is certainly horrifying. Ajax can't feel any pain from his injuries but that doesn't mean he's OK when he gets hurt. The damage is still done and he doesn't heal any faster than a normal person. That means that he could have a life threatening or even lethal injury and not know it until he keels over or drops dead. Great example in his second fight with Wade when wade pins him through the leg with his sword. The position of the sword in Ajax's leg suggests that if it hasn't nicked it then it was at least dangerously close to Ajax's femoral artery.

* Meghan's situation is pretty scary if you think about it. What the hell was her stalker doing that made her desperate enough to hire a ''mercenary''? How long has this been going on? Why did she resort to a place as shady as Sister Margaret's instead of calling the police? Did she feel like she couldn't go to them for some reason, or did she already try that, only for them to fail to help? She must have been genuinely scared for her safety if she was willing to hire Wade for what we can assume was a ''lot'' of money, and she seems to be in her late teens or early twenties at the ''oldest''. And if she ''is'' still a teenager, ''where the hell are her parents during all this''? We can rest easy knowing that, thanks to Wade, her stalker won't ever go near her again, but the whole situation is pretty horrifying, especially if you consider that Meghan is ''not'' a BadassNormal -- she's just an ordinary girl.

* Deadpool is knocking off and hunting a lot of people associated with a mutant trafficking ring. The X-Men probably realize that despite his methods, he is the good guy, and sending Colossus to recruit him is a way of trying to do damage control. If they knew of his other activities pre-Deadpool they'd see he's very much a good guy. In contrast, Wade in the comics was more amoral and Deadpool leaning less heroically/more ultimately neutral.

They probably do know, since Colossus refers to him as Wade on the bridge - Wade Wilson is supposed to be dead, so Colossus knowing his name means he's familiar with at least part of Wade's backstory.



* There's no telling how many mutant puppet soldiers have already been sold and are already committing the types of atrocities that Ajax describes.

* Wade is reckless and uncaring about his own safety (as he knows he can heal) but as soon as Angel gives the order for Ajax's mooks to start firing Wade runs at and tackles Negasonic behind cover, this shows that while he does rib her and is careless with himself he does get serious when she is in danger.

However [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis the story is being told to the audience by]] [[UnreliableNarrator Deadpool]]. Colossus is behaving like that because it's how ''Wade'' sees him.

* Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead's kills are much more on the side of BloodlessCarnage, which would be odd for an R-Rated movie. What's even odder is that they don't fall victim to ClusterFBombs, as most R-Rated features employ. Now remember that most X-Men movies are PG-13.

* Prior to Wade's escape, Ajax has no objections to Angel chewing on a match. Later on, after Wade returns as Deadpool (and a long time after he caused Ajax's current base of operations to burn to the ground), a scene we see with Ajax and Angel has the former wordlessly remove the match from the latter's mouth, like a parent removing a cigarette from their kid's mouth. He probably put two and two together at some point, figuring that Wade had caused that fire and escaped by getting Angel's match from her. So now he's trying to prevent repeat incidents by getting her to quit the habit.

added a Fridge Brilliance moment about the style of the film changing



to:

* When Deadpool says "Oh did I say that this was a love story, no, it's a horror movie", the style of the film becomes that of a "Monster Horror" film: Horrible disfiguring of Wade, then there's Ajax coming down the stairs to the basement to see what the noise is, then he fights the "Monster" (Wade) until he finally defeats the "Monster"...and gives the Monster a cheesy one liner. The sequence ends when...Wade crawls out of the ground, like a Monster that just wont die.

* The only time Wade misses any of his shots while counting the bullets is when he's shooting at the motorcycle driver, who we later learn in Ajax. If you look closely while Deadpool is shooting at him, Francis is turning his head aside before each gunshot so they miss, which is a very subtle foreshadowing to the fact that Ajax has SuperReflexes.

* ''Technically'', Wade was completely honest when he told Colossus that "That guy was already up there when I got here." After all, "here" as far as Deadpool was concerned, was beyond the sign, and the goon in question had already hit the sign before Deadpool and the SUV had rolled to a stop around where he was standing.

* ''Of course'', the writers of the movie would be credited as "The Real Heroes Here." [[ButHeSoundsHandsome Who else would've written the opening titles?]]
** Alternatively, since {{Deadpool}}'s greatest strength is his dialogue, of course the writers are the real heroes. They're the ones who made the movie funny!

** It could also be seen that Warhead was tossing her phone at Deadpool, who just ignored it and let it drop to the ground.

** Might be also a reference to the past movie where he was shown to know multiple languages.



** Even worse is that given how his cancer and healing factor is balancing itself he might be numb to most damage because he is already in pain.
*** In the comics, he describes the cancer repeatedly killing his cells as an incessant "burning, itching feeling". Ever nearly gone crazy from an itch you couldn't scratch? The sharp pain from the numerous injuries he sustains probably feels like a ''relief'' compared to that.



* Ajax's facility is horrific enough but you have think how many people have they taken in without dormant mutant genes? Are they just tortured without any end in sight, are they still sold as slaves or are they simply "disposed" of? If they don't, that means they have some way of secretly finding out that people have dormant X-Genes. Which indicates that they've been tracking people and possibly giving them secret genetic testing.
** Francis outright says they torture people until they either mutate or die.
* Remember the highway scene, the one that was copied from the test footage? Some of those cars were civilians.
** When Deadpool lands in the SUV, it causes a BMW to crash.

Jeremy obviously thought he had just [[HeKnowsTooMuch turned into a witness]] to armed robbery and/or murder, and asking for a big tip was his way of saying, "Look, just give me a huge tip, and I won't say a word."
