10 Things You Didn't Know About Deadpool

[@oscarpaz27]

As a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, I can tell you that production was no secret. I drove past the filming of the bridge sequence for a week, traffic was a pain in the butt, but Ryan's a local kid that was making sure there was work for us folk out there, so we cut them some slack. This sort of thing is kind of hard to keep a lid on, especially when you can see it from every building. Deadpool 2's scooter sequence was filmed across the street from my office so again, not much of a secret, but as a city used to this, we didn't rubberneck or get in the way ( but it was kind of cool to be that close to a location).

[@littleboo2002]

My neice worked at this expensive grocery store that was attached to this expensive hotel that a lot of famous people stay at. She told me that Ryan had come to the store, and so grabbed a basket of items to go back on the shelves, someone tried to take the basket from her, but she was like "I already have it." So she went an stalked him around the store. And then during that visit, she saw him talking to the deli meats guy for some meat. And she said that she went to talk with another employee and both of them were like "HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HIM!" I laughed at the story and told her to stop stalking famous people...but I feel I would have done the same. XD

[@Gixsir]

@@littleboo2002good help is hard to find everywhere I guess 😂

[@DarthKilaj85]

Ryan fought to get this movie done for 16 years he deserves the success for it as he never gave up on making it.

[@eliashuapilla]

Yes. And we should thank that nameless employee who "accidentally" leaked the footage

[@mckid2683]

The wait was worth it! Had to wait long enuf to get the studio execs to agree with a "superhero movie" with an "R" rating was a must and wouldn't have been the same without it. Great movies., Deadpool 1 and 2

[@bryndal36]

Deadpool is an example of how to make a movie without the studio execs getting involved. Definitely one of the best action comedy movies of all time.

[@littleboo2002]

Its so frustratining when studio execs are involved. I remember hearing back in the 80s, George Lucas. Steven Speilberg, etc made films THEY wanted to see. And those are some of the best films. Studio heads ruined Batman 3 because they wanted to sell toys. TMNT was ruined because they wanted to sell toys. Hell, some of the greatest songs on the radio had to fought by the band to play because studio heads "no one will want to hear that". Studio execs are so out of touch they are the reason their companies lose money.

[@mckid2683]

I really hope they don't screw everything up with Deadpool 3 with the MCU crossover finally happening! But I don't think they will. As long as Ryan Reynolds is still involved with how the character is written and portrayed I think it'll be fine. He knows exactly how to play Deadpool

[@EvaFull]

Thank You Ryan Reynolds & crew for fighting to give us the Deadpool Franchise we always wanted on the big screen. Can’t think of anyone else that could have pulled the character off & made it as fun as you all have done so far.

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

In a time when so many movies are done wrong and remakes are trash - Deadpool came through. It's just a damn good well made movie.

[@normanmccultureboy6492]

Can’t wait for Deadpool 3 especially with Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine after Logan

[@retrogamingnmore2513]

I'm wicked hyped. Can't wait

It's Shit, it is DISNEY POLLUTED! Forget about it!

[@ianashby3626]

Awesome film

[@chadfalardeau5396]

Just when I thought Ryan Reynolds couldn't be anymore awesome he pulled that one off

[@DeathBYDesign666]

You realize that Logan was a future version of wolverine right? It takes place the same time as the days of future past timeline but an alternate version of it. Besides that it's actually an alternate alternate version of wolverine in the next Deadpool, not necessarily the Fox timeline.

[@vanhattfield8292]

It doesn't hurt that the movie co-stars Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, who is one of the most gorgeous women out there.

[@ndowroccus4168]

Yeah, Ryan & Co. really nailed the casting here…I mean you can’t perfectly cast blind Al….but she does great!

Thanks simply mc Simpson

[@Flixartist]

TRUTH.

[@kraevgames]

Ryan definitely leaked the footage himself. He's a marketing genius. "If I knew that would happen, I would've..." is just his sarcastic way of saying "I knew that would happen, so I did".

[@BigDaddyJinx]

That was a HUGE gamble though, to be fair. The studio saw it and passed and it was a big gamble to leak it to the public, who could've just as easily passed on it. It was a 50/50 shot though so he really lucked out, if he was the leaker. Regardless, I'm glad it leaked and led to it being made as-is.

[@xerothedarkstar]

Allegedly.

[@littleboo2002]

@@BigDaddyJinxI feel he knew it would be more on the good side of the 50/50 because of the Deadpool fans out there. But agree, there's always a chance it could have gone south.

[@zonesproductions]

This film deserves all the praise it can get. So much was riding against it, but it shines through. I really hope its heart doesn't get watered down in the MCU.

[@gwfanimations]

they said it'll be r rated

[@daelkolwitz3509]

Shows that studio executives are so clueless as to what makes a good movie. And now they want to use computers to replace the people who actually know what they are doing.

[@kraevgames]

Ryan Reynolds said if he has to pay for it himself to keep it R rated he will. He'll scrap the whole thing before he lets them ruin it.

[@raymondcroteau]

@@kraevgamesHe paid for the shirt of Bea Arthur (to a charity her family wanted it to go to) in the first movie alone! I mean, honestly, worst case, he pulls the Bootleg Universe and we get KZbin Movies of him being Deadpool because, let's face it, he is Deadpool. With Canada's most powerful superpower: Health Care!!!

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

Ryan Reynolds isn't going to let them ruin his beloved franchise

[@georgeheilman885]

I love watching this movie with Ryan's commentary. We get 24 walls broken!

[@crazieanimefan1]

I love Deadpool. When I saw it at the theater, they were asking for IDs as the lady told me, teenagers were showing fake ones to see the movie. I don't blame them as it was rather good. Can't wait for the third one! Edit: Forgot to mention, one of the advetisements was to help men find out if they had testicular cancer as well. This helped a friend of mine get checked as he actually had it and they caught it early. So all thanks to Deadpool, it saved his life.

[@2429Ryanspeer]

Honestly Ryan Reynolds fits this roll perfectly and I cannot wait to see him in deadpool 3 alongside Hugh Jackman Wolverine

[@jayaskme2942]

Agreed, this movie for some reason reminds me allot of the first Robocop movie. For me it hits those same chords of surrealistic life meets hollywood wackiness with a dose of corrupt power mania in the best way. Also big props Minty for the marvel post scene '-)

[@Andys12169]

Very true, it’s been a long time coming and I hope it’s awesome.

[@Beltheczar]

Even before the movie, Deadpool always said that he looked like Ryan Reynolds in the comic

[@tommythecooldudescan]

Apparently I read that he's not but someone playing wolverine

[@DarthKilaj85]

No one is more perfect or could have made Deadpool as successful as Ryan Reynolds especially as in the comics Deadpool was a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a sharpei.

[@wstine79]

I was happy that Ryan Reynolds was able to redeem Deadpool after X-Men Origins Wolverine. The jokes were funny, the action was Bloody hilarious, and Colossus was my favorite character.

[@redefv]

Will he do the same for Green Lantern?

[@JamesHardenoverKobe]

I credit Marvel more than Ryan.

[@tolunart]

Colossus as a big boy scout was a great straight man to Deadpool's act. His reaction to a female opponent's wardrobe malfunction was hilarious, if unrealistic.

Let's face it, Reynolds IS Deadpool. The movie just allowed him to have the costume on lol. Great video Minty, one of my favorite films of all time.

[@ash8207]

Let's face it, you don't live in reality. LOL, Reynolds is just Reynolds. There is no Deadpool, it's a fictional character. Just enjoy the movie without being delusional & silly.

[@SavageP.9000]

@@ash8207 You just completely missed the mark on what the comment is about. What he means by "Reynolds IS Deadpool" is that Reynolds is irreplaceable as Deadpool. Reynolds just doesn't act like Deadpool, he transforms to Deadpool.

[@MrSunDevil23]

Never was a fan of Ryan Reynolds or Deadpool but after seeing this and what a nice guy he really is (visiting the sick child) and the trouble he went thru as a passion project I’m gonna watch it.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

The Joe Kelley run from the 90’s is awesome.

[@richieb7692]

You will not be disappointed, the film is Fantastic

[@kudukilla]

Sick child’s name was used as an Easter egg in Deadpool 2

[@huntery3568]

From what I've heard, the whole "no mouth" thing in Origins was because Reynolds himself just would not shut up about how badly they were mis-using the character, so the producers got rid of Deadpool's mouth purely to spite him. "Supposed to be The Merc with a Mouth, huh? Well..."

[@ShadowCthulhu]

I remember an interviews with Ryan where he said that after playing Hannibal King a fan sent him a box of Deadpool comics with a letter saying that he basically played Deadpool in Blade 3. Deadpool is defiantly one of his best movies though I am worried about part 3.

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

@ShadowCthulu Now that'd be a good movie.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

It received many awards and nominations, including two Critics' Choice awards and two Golden Globe nominations.

[@dragonmaster613]

Another fun fact about his creation is: they wrote him with the thought that he'd be a one-off and not have more issues, so they gave zero Fs and that's why he was as absurd as heck. Ironically, that made him popular enough to continue on.

[@sudzonicful]

Ryan was born for this role, I can't picture anyone else playing deadpool.

[@nsasupporter7557]

He plays Deadpool in all of his other movies anyway

[@rndmpinkiepie64]

I always felt the Reynolds Deadpool was closer to the Ultimate Universe version, being slimmer instead of the comic version being so ripped

[@weerwolfproductions]

Part of that was because Rob Liefeld could only draw incredibly bulked up male characters - without feet. Once other artists got their hands on both Cable and Deadpool, both characters were brought back to somewhat more humanly proportioned characters that could actually see their feet looking down their chest. Seriously, if you want to get a few laughs in, check out his splash page art. It is utterly ridiculous (and he never draws feet, they're always hidden or waaaaay back in perspective so really tiny).

[@rndmpinkiepie64]

@weerwolfproductions I get that. I love to draw but I *suck* at drawing feet. I usually cut off the image just under the knee

[@DEADPOOL_LK-4T7]

I may have missed them, as your catalogue is incredible. Your segments always make me smile, and I genuinely become excited when a new topic appear. Thank you!

[@thomaspayton436]

this movie is an instant classic

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

I honestly can’t think of a reason not to absolutely adore Ryan Reynolds! If he isn’t one of the nicest, sweetest, most kindhearted people on the Planet, I don’t know who is!! And apart from the also amazing Nolan North- who lent his voice to The Merc with A Mouth in the 2015 video game- nobody comes close to embodying Deadpool the way Ryan does! The first film was great, so was the second and I am eagerly (but patiently) awaiting the third!

[@smartchai]

"DEADPOOL" is a masterpiece & I absolutely positively LOVE how much respect Ryan Reynolds has for the source material ! Modern comic book superhero movie writers seriously need to learn that one of the essential keys to success is sticking closely to the source material which would be the comics (in this case) ! Starting with the costume ! Looking at you, Jeremy Renner's HAWKEYE and Hugh Jackman's WOLVERINE ! I'd better see Hugh wear Wolvie's trademark outfit AND iconic mask in "DEADPOOL 3" !

[@robertcatania1120]

Deadpool had by far the best marketing campaign for any movie ever! It undoubtedly played a huge role in the movie's financial success. Marketing teams need to take lessons from what this film did. The first movie is probably one of my favorite comic book movies and really hope the 3rd one will be even better. One Minty note I was hoping to hear was that the comic book itself described Wade Wilson as "a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a shar-pei"...so Reynolds literally was perfect to play this role. I don't think there has ever been a role in history more perfect for an actor.

[@georgejones3526]

I would have to add Chris Evans as Captain America to that.

[@robertcatania1120]

@georgejones3526 my second runner up was Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark aka Iron Man

LMBO! I absolutely LOVED this movie in the theater, and the WHAM connection and love story were ACTUALLY what got my girlfriend to give it a chance. After she watched it with me, she admitted that she went to see it in the theater and walked out not long after it started because of the violence. She was glad that I got her to give it another try. Needless to say, her heart was broken by Deadpool 2 (which I hope you make a video for soon), but she still got me both the first Christmas 2 was available 😂 GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO MINTY!!!!

#8 -- he didn't get to play Deadpool in Origins. He got to play Wade Wilson, not Deadpool. Wasn't that thing labeled Weapon XI?

[@richardrobbins387]

It is true. He's never called Deadpool in the movie. Same shtick, however. And he already has mutant powers for the most part (slicing bullets and whatnot) Making things all the more meta in a way. Modern DP has the luxury of poking fun at his previous iteration...which he of course, does.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

Another great movie and another great movie review. There were moments that made you wince, but in the best way possible. Such a fun movie to watch because it doesn't take itself too seriously.
