RED (film)/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Marvin comments to Victoria that he remembers the Secret Service being tougher. John Malkovich, who played Marvin, also played the would-be presidential assassin Mitch Leary in the movie In the Line of Fire.
 * Frank declares a lock to be Unbreakable.
 * Mary-Louise Parker's character briefly gets high.
 * Victoria is played by Helen Mirren, and was the name of a Queen of England.
 * All-Star Cast: One of the best and most impressive of the year, only surpassed by that of The Expendables and Inception.
 * Awesome, Dear Boy: Helen Mirren loved working on Red so much, thanks to the action-heavy role she had in the film, that she has said "I'm there!" to any planned sequel.
 * Warren Ellis agrees. Saying that despite minimal input on the loosely-adapted film, getting to write something that led to Helen Mirren with an M60 is a career highlight.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Probably the most radical example out there: The Queen is a beast with firearms.
 * And for a true "that guy," Brian Cox (William Stryker, the original Hannibal) is the russian agent.
 * David Addison is Frank Moses.
 * Easy Reader is Joe.
 * Alternately, Joe is God.
 * Cooper is both Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Eomer of Rohan.
 * Lzherusskie: Brian Cox (a Scot) as Ivan.
