Trivia:Stan Lee plays a rejected wedding guest in a cameo, in a tribute to his own fictional comic book incarnation. more
Goofs:Errors in geography: in the London scene, after a hole is created in the River Thames, it is shown that the entire river has been dried up as a result of this (presumably, he entire river fell into the hole). But only the down-river part should have dried up - there should still be water coming from the river source. more
Quotes:Susan Storm: Reed, I *know* you. I'm glad you had your fun.
Reed Richards: Thank you.
Susan Storm: Besides it was *nothing* compared to my bachelorette party. Talk about *wild*
