FILM 1237: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
TRIVIA: The soundtrack album
"Awesome Mix, Vol. 1" reached number one on the US Billboard 200
chart, the first film soundtrack ever to reach number one without a single
original song.
Vin Diesel recorded all of
his "I am Groot" lines in several different languages, including
Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French so that they could
use his real voice in the film around the world.
The mid-credits scene where Groot
dances to "I Want You Back" was animated using footage of James Gunn dancing
privately to the song.
Drax's comment about Groot's
ability to release "fireflies", "When did you learn to do
that?" is an inside joke, as Groot has never shown this ability in the
comic books.
Chris Pratt cites heroes
Han Solo and Marty McFly as influences on his performance as Star-Lord.
Prior to release, Bill Mantlo, the comic
book writer who created Rocket Raccoon and has been permanently
institutionalized since a crippling traffic accident in 1992, was granted a
private screening by Marvel Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures. According
to his brother, Michael Mantlo, Bill was pleased with the adaptation (which
credits him by name as the character's creator) and considered the occasion a
happy day for himself and his family.
Rocket Raccoon was modeled on a
raccoon living in the UK named Oreo.
James Gunn compared the
Avengers and the Guardians to music bands: "The Avengers are like the
Beatles, but the Guardians are like the Rolling Stones!"
Benicio Del Toro described
the Collector as "Liberace
in outer space."
Nathan Fillion is the blue
alien that Groot picks up by the nostrils during the escape scene in the Kyln.
Adam Sandler, David Tennant, Sharlto Copley, Jim Carrey and H. Jon Benjamin were
considered to voice Rocket Raccoon.
London's Millennium Bridge can be
seen during the the Battle of Xander.
