    • Trivia
      Ryan Reynolds personally talked to Mariah Carey for the rights to use her song "Fantasy" in the film.The rights issue was a little complex, however, as the song was directly sampled from the Tom Tom Club hit, "Genius of Love" (1981), the live version of which can be found in the Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense (1984). Tom Tom Club was essentially Talking Heads without its leader, David Byrne. Samples of Genius of Love have appeared in over thirty songs attributed to other artists.

    Video Game Movie Done Right
    While the majority of video game movies suck due to not being like the game they're based on, Free Guy has the advantage of being an original story based in a video game. Ryan Reynolds performance as Guy is great as per usual, the plot is original enough to be interesting, and the comedy (for me) hits right! Without getting into the spoilers, the pop culture references work better than expected. The only complaint I have is the streamer cameos were kind of dumb and they spent way too much time with them. Besides that Free Guy is a great popcorn movie and I highly recommend it!

    FAQ3

    • What does NPC stand for?
    • When Antwan first appears, he's wearing a little jacket made to look like a U. S. Navy uniform piece, with Petty Officer 3rd Class chevron. He also has a ship/squadron shoulder badge that says 'U. S. S. ..? . Anyone see what that might say?
    • Can the characters in Millie's and Keys' original build respawn if killed?
