History Trivia / SuckerPunch

** [[TheReveal That scene the executives meddled to the point it got taken out almost drives the point of the movie home entirely, but alas...]] [[spoiler: consensual sex featuring a female lead being loved and discovered as herself, we can't have that]] Moral Guardians shall have their way. UnfortunateImplications aside.

*** AmandaSeyfried was originally cast as Baby Doll but she was forced to turn it down when the producers of ''BigLove'' refused to let her go. Also EmmaStone and EvanRachelWood were also originally cast as Amber and Rocket respectively, but turned it down due to other commitments.

* DoingItForTheArt: ''Seriously''. The studio wanted the film post-converted to 3D, but Snyder refused. [[LegendOfTheGuardians He's done 3D before]], but he didn't film ''Sucker Punch'' for 3D, and he felt converting it would make an inferior film. What makes this especially odd is that he claimed not to know why he made such an odd film, saying ''That is basically my comment on the film as well. "Why are you making this movie? You need to make a movie more commercial. It shouldn't be so dark and weird."''

*** But with an ass like that...

* DeletedScene: Almost 20 minutes worth on the special edition DVD. Extended fight sequences, the love scene, some more motivational speeches all cut.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The test screening of the film included a mild love scene [[spoiler:following Baby Doll getting knocked out by one of Blue's men while Sweet Pea escapes]] between Baby Doll and [[spoiler:the High Roller]] in his suite that is initiated by ''Baby Doll'' when he offers her freedom while in reality [[spoiler:she's getting lobotomized.]] The [=MPAA=] did not approve of it and wanted the scene cut down; Zack Snyder cut it down to the point that it looked like [[spoiler:the High Roller]] was taking advantage of Baby Doll, and the ultimately cut the scene altogether because that wasn't the message he wanted to give. However, the full uncut scene will be featured in the Director's Cut. In the original ending (that will not be included in the Director's Cut), [[spoiler:when the police shines his light on Baby Doll post-lobotomy, she starts singing "O-o-h Child," followed by the rest of the girls appearing, and they all sing it stage before the curtains fall.]]

* ShownTheirWork: In this fantasy movie you will see better, more tactical use of firearms than in any Syfy Channel original movie about or including the military. Heck, it's also better than about 50% of other movies about the military (drops to 30% after 1985). The girls keep their rifles on their shoulders, roll in their steps rather than bouncing, and never cross lines of fire when clearing a room (and clearing the room they went from cover to cover, interlocking fields of fire). The firearms savvy troper will recognize EoTech holographic sites, historically accurate firearms (even the Samurai's [[{{BFG}} 20mm version minigun]]), and a suppressed M4. Even handling a semi-automatic firearm, Baby Doll only crosses her thumbs in back once, but with hands that tiny it's believable she didn't catch the Colt Hammer Bite (when the slide comes back in the cycling of the action and cleaves any flesh in its way).

[[Film/{{Watchmen}} Silk Spectre]] also shows up, and [[RobinHood2010 King John]] and [[MadMen Don Draper]] are the film's antagonists.

** Also, after they clear the room, Rocket signals to Sweet Pea (who is covering the stairs leading away from the room and thus not looking back at the others behind her) that they're ready to move on by giving her a pat. [[LesYay Of course, in real life, one pats the shoulder, not the ass.]]
