While watching the special features on the X-Men DVD, I cam across the amusing story of a kid who had come across an X-Men filming site, snuck in and deduced from the labels on some huge pieces of stainless steel that there would be a massive, satellite dish shaped laser in the film. Unfortunately for the kid, Laser was simply the name of the company who made the steel.

However other hollywood films have not been as lucky with their contractors. Oh My God Data Dies in this One Water Coolers were foolishly hired to provide the Star Trek: Nemesis set with it’s water dispensers. Fight Club director David Fincher was appalled to discover in 1999 that Ed Norton IS Tyler Durden, Dipshit! Electrics were doing the wiring on the set. And who could forget the massive 90s set design company – Leo DIES at the end! Ha ha. Loser Constructions?
