Honestly, it’s a miracle Deadpool ever got made when you think about it. Deadpool is one of the LAST comic book characters I’d ever thought would make it to the big screen, let alone be a smash hit.
'The sequence was called 16 bullets but due to budgetary constraints its now 12 bullets' is the most deadpooly phrase ever spoken and it's not even part of the movie. It's behind the fucking scenes. Even the BTS is breaking the 4th wall.
Isn’t it crazy. All that effort, talent and expensive equipment to get the motorcycle camera to follow the stunt driver… and only 1 or 2 brief shots from that were used in the final cut.
That opening scene is unforgettable honestly....seeing it for the first time, especially in the theater was pretty epic, the only other movie I personally can relate it to was the first Guardians of the Galaxy, which was something I'd never seen before
Here in 2024. Incredible to see this footage, what a journey Ryan Reynolds and team have made with the character. And incredible to see so many records being broken by the movie. Well done all that were involved.
8:20 that's so interesting. Almost every behind the scenes I've ever seen there's someone who's so proud of an all new movie creation to get the shots they want
It seems like they spent more time on one scene than a lot of films do on their whole project. Had the potential to be a HUGE disappointment and they didn't let that happen. One of the best comic book films ever. Well done.
Tim Miller went to the same comic book store I did over in Culver City. I remember the day he was showing people the finished Deadpool test footage on his cell phone. He was kind enough to show me as well. Super nice guy. I was extremely happy to see him go on to succeed with the film years later.
