Trivia
Nicolas Cage thought Javi was the best written character in the movie, so much so he even asked to trade parts, as he thought playing his own biggest fan was more meta than playing himself. It wasn't until Pedro Pascal was cast that Cage eventually relented.

Goofs
Javi loads the shotgun with an empty shell.

Quotes
Nick Cage: Paddington 2 is incredible.
Javi Gutierrez: I fucking told you.

Crazy credits
Nicolas Cage is credited twice in the end titles: under his own name Nicolas Cage, playing "Nick Cage", and also under the name Nicolas Kim Coppola (his real birth name), playing "Nicky".

That's our guy!

Caught an advance screening tonight and I thought it was super fun. I'm a huge Nicolas Cage fan, and it was over the top and crazy and chaotic and heartwarming. And there's definitely some cuckoo stuff mixed in, I'm actually a little surprised he didn't take the weirdness even further. And he yelled a lot but I would've taken even more. Haha Definitely a light silly night at the movies :) LONG LIVE CAGE.
