Trivia / Rampage (2009)

• Acting for Two: At the start of the first movie, Bill's parents are listening to a TV playing a shopping channel advertising jewelry rings, and you can clearly tell Brendan Fletcher is the voice of the man talking about the ring while Bill is also present but sipping coffee and having a croissant not paying attention to TV (the sequel states that Bill doesn't trust television and frowns on commercialism).
• Creator Killer: Not necessarily the movies' sales or reception, but the fundraising campaign on both Indiegogo and Kickstarter to finance Rampage: President Down were so unsuccessful (the goal was $50,000) that Uwe Boll chose not to make any more movies after he finishes making President Down. He's been making movies since 1990 (starting with German Fried Movie) but then gave up filmmaking altogether in 2016 and lashed out at Hollywood for not taking interest in his work. He later came out of retirement, however.
• Descended Creator: Director Uwe Boll plays Andy the producer in an uncredited role during the sequel.
• Fake American:
  • The film was shot in Vancouver, and the entire cast (except for Michael Paré) is Canadian.
  • Uwe Boll, who is German and has a strong German accent, plays the American news station assistant manager Andy. Boll then said he's come to regret starring in his own movie. Boll himself wasn't very fluent in English at the time of the film being shot, but he did gradually improve on it throughout the 2010s decade and now speaks in it comfortably.
• Similarly Named Works: Uwe Boll gets easily angry if he sees the words "Rampage" or "Bill Williamson" attached to another work of fiction, especially if it's gotten bigger attention than his own movies. He threatened legal action against the Dwayne Johnson blockbuster Rampage (2018), which is based on a video game of the same name that came out in 1986 as while this film came out 2009.
• The Cameo: Katharine Isabelle, one of Brendan Fletcher's frequent castmates, pops up as one of the salon employees his character kills.
• Throw It In!: There was no script used at all for the first film. Just a 10-page treatment written by Uwe. The cast ad-libbed and improvised their dialogue.
• Written by Cast Member: Brendan Fletcher co-wrote the second and third film.
