Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gosling broke his thumb during the bathroom stall scene and kept filming. The scream is real, the genius is permanent.
This bombed at the box office despite being Shane Black's return to form after Iron Man 3, proving audiences don't deserve nice things. It's since become a cult classic that Twitter won't shut up about.
