Top 10 Hunger Games Franchise Facts


get ready for red-hot details about the
girl on fire welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten Hunger Games franchise
facts for this list we’ve looked at the
most interesting facts and trivia
surrounding the International
blockbuster movie series The Hunger
Games unfortunately not everyone in the
district fell for it number 10 Jennifer
Lawrence has expensive hair I remember
the first time I saw you your hair was
in two braids instead of one well at
least she does when she’s on set a
natural blonde Jennifer Lawrence didn’t
want her hair dyed and experimented with
on an almost daily basis for fear that
it would become damaged oh you look
beautiful too so to avoid doing so the
head hair designer for the Hunger Games
Linda flowers rented five six thousand
dollar lace wigs in different shades of
brown to achieve the most natural of
effects that’s thirty thousand dollars
in total made Jennifer comfortable to
know that we weren’t gonna experiment
with her color but the signature Katniss
badass braid was a little less taxing
looks lovely darling when did you start
wearing it like that everyone at school
wears it like this now grandpa it took
just 20 minutes to style
I think that’s there to be very
functional so that her hair is nicely
pulled back and not gonna fall on her
face too too much number 9 Jennifer
Lawrence’s squirrel skills
any squirrel on screen with Jennifer
Lawrence best run for cover quickly the
People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals quickly ascended onto some parts
of the Hunger Games because of the
squirrel slaughter implied in it my
father buys our squirrels
he says she hits him right in the eye
every time no animals were actually
harmed during filming but Lawrence has a
reputation she was previously criticized
for another notorious squirrel skinning
seen in Winter’s Bone Oh all hard before
being quoted as responding with quote
screw PETA she talks about the scene and
says quote I should say it wasn’t real
for PETA but screw PETA
and she’s admitted that she can actually
hunt in real life to the Katniss actress
can be quite controversial help me fool
truth put your finger out there number
eight the swear jar up quite the potty
mouth Jim you I have experienced it yes
you do Jennifer Lawrence is well known
for being a less than typical a list
actress she says what she wants when she
wants and how she wants what and that
last bit literally cost her while on the
set for Mockingjay the cast and crew
introduced a swear jar now is it true
there’s a rumor that you guys set up a
swear jar on the set of Hunger Games the
basic rules being that any time a swear
word is said money must be donated
especially if said in front of a younger
cast member would you know what
alright then it’s thought that Lawrence
handed over around half of the final
total mother balls number 7 Donald
Sutherland awesome job application you
should imagine thousands upon thousands
of your people dead this town of yours
reduced to ashes imagine you’ve gone
every great hero needs a great villain
to fight against and Donald Sutherland
as president snow has proven exactly
that from even before the first day of
filming I mean if we just wanted to
intimidate the district’s why not
round up 24 of them at random and
execute them all at once
be a lot faster Sutherlands first point
of contact with Hunger Games director
Gary Ross was to write him a three-page
email discussing ideas of power evilness
and criminal psychology all noted down
with an ominous touch of snows own
tyrannical voice he feels very strongly
that he’s doing the right thing
afterwards that particular casting
question was closed the Rose Garden was
Sutherlands so you like an underdog
everyone likes an underdog I told him
number six
Philip Seymour Hoffman was a week away
from finishing this is poo talk
heavensbee head GameMaker Philip Seymour
Hoffman passed away February 2nd 2014
with just two scenes left to be shot for
Mockingjay part 2 tribunals power the
people it can all be the bedrock for the
new Panem but one more time I think even
the noblest of causes can be bent a
little bit right initially it had been
suggested that Hoffman would be
digitally recreated in order that his
character Plutarch heavensbee
could still feature as previously
planned it’s a tough act to follow
however in a December 2014 interview
with Empire Magazine the film’s director
Francis Lawrence revealed that CGI would
not be used lawrence said that he had no
intention to fake a performance for
Hoffman who many critics considered one
of the greatest actors of his generation
brilliant number five Jennifer Lawrence
gave Josh Hutcherson a concussion it
turns out Jennifer Lawrence is just as
lethal off screen as she is on it behind
the scenes for the first film of the
series Jalen nearly knocked out her
co-star Josh Hutcherson by kicking him
in the head and giving him a concussion
by accident the pair was fooling around
in between takes practicing their
fighting skills when Lawrence
accidentally landed a heavy head shot
leaving Hutcherson with one hell of a
headache and she tells me she can kick
over my head and I’m like you can’t kick
over my head and she was watch
Hutcherson soldiered on himself though
and wasn’t diagnosed with a concussion
until sometime afterwards when he had
trouble recalling his home address
number four The Hunger Games is based on
Greek mythology Athens has to send seven
youths and seven maidens to Crete where
they are thrown into the labyrinth to be
devoured by a monster called the
Minotaur hunger games writer Suzanne
Collins has revealed where a lot of her
inspiration came from firstly the
Vietnam War a conflict in which her
father fought when I was a child my dad
fought in Vietnam the year I was six he
was gone for the whole year secondly a
channel hopping experience during which
news items on the Iraq war contrasted
with images of reality TV and these
images sort of began to meld together in
my mind in a very unsettling way and
that’s when it sort of struck me this
idea for the games thirdly and perhaps
most predominantly Collins cites her
love for Greek mythology as a child The
Hunger Games is particularly influenced
by the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur
a story which scared Collins as a child
and stuck with her as an adult and even
when I was a little kid this just
stunned me because it was so cruel it
was the cruelest thing that he could
think to do to the people of Athens it’s
worse than killing them he’s killing
their children number three
Jennifer Lawrence went temporarily deaf
while filming Lawrence has a reputation
for being accident-prone well I was just
hoping that I wouldn’t burn to death and
it was clearly demonstrated while
filming Catching Fire the Katniss
actress actually went deaf in one ear
for one week during shooting for the
second movie Janet
she’d originally picked up an ear
infection while diving into stagnant
water on set but the matter was worsened
when in a later scene she took a water
jet to the side of the head and lost her
hearing entirely Lawrence still reports
occasional pain especially when yawning
she should really get to the doctor okay
number two Suzanne Collins is super rich
well I don’t like jewels and I have more
money than I need so it probably goes
without saying that Suzanne Collins made
a lot of money out of The Hunger Games
but the scale of her riches is quite
incredible the lone Victor bathed in
riches would serve as a reminder of our
generosity and our forgiveness in 2013
she was listed as the third highest
earning author in the world an
especially commendable feat given that
her books were released in 2008 2009 and
2010 respectively to critical isn’t the
film adaptations have seen Collins
finances go through the roof
a far cry from where she started as a
staff writer on Nickelodeon working on
shows like Clarissa explains it all and
Oswald it’s not gonna rain it’s bright
and sunny outside oh sure now it is
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
but when I got to the conclusion of that
I knew that there had to be a sequel
because something happens one of the
main characters does something that
would never go unpunished they can be
arrogant and arrogance can be a big
problem now here you can shoot get to a
ball they may not have a will if you
show them how good you are they just
want a good show that’s all they want
number one the rise and rise of Jennifer
Lawrence I thought they hated me they
must have liked you good – Katniss
Everdeen the girl on fire oh damn an
actress who has more than made a name
for herself away from the Hunger Games
franchise Jayla’s rise to the heaviest
Heights of Hollywood has coincided with
her playing Katniss Everdeen you have to
make people like you that fact is most
apparent when the stars paychecks are
put against one another between five and
six hundred thousand dollars for the
first film ten million for the second
congratulations
like Katniss Lawrence turned a modest
beginning into a monumental achievement
thank you
very consideration not bad for someone
who calls herself a big mistake she says
quote I’m a troll I hate myself I think
the movie is great but their biggest
mistake was testing me do you agree with
