don’t forget we’re the bad guys sure
they’re the bad guys but doesn’t that
make them more interesting welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
Suicide Squad movie facts for this list
we’ll be exploring the most amazing
anecdotes remarkable rumors and fun
facts relating to the third entry in the
DC Cinematic Universe Suicide Squad but
what do you think of Batman’s connection
to the Suicide Squad and whose side do
you think you’ll be on in this epic
fight between DCs and biggest
powerhouses number 10 first comic book
movie to star a team of villains
let’s check in some work but I finally
have them the worst of the worst the
relatively young DC Cinematic Universe
has its work cut out for it in
distinguishing itself from its marble
counterpart but if Suicide Squad is a
hit it’ll truly be breaking new CBM
ground Marvel has released team-up films
like The Avengers and Captain America
Civil War underoos hey everyone they’ve
even given us a team of Outlaws in
guardians of the galaxy but they were
more anti-heroes than villains question
what if I see something that I want to
take in it belong to someone else you
will be arrested but what if I wanted
more than the person who has it still
illegal Sony has discussed a sinister
six movie and Fox has toyed with the
idea of a Hellfire Club milk but Suicide
Squad officially takes the title of
being the first bill in centric
comic-book team-up film with its main
roster of characters coming straight
from the rogues gallery there bad guys
exactly
and if anything goes wrong we blame them
we have built-in deniability number nine
micro bombs Suicide Squad isn’t just a
name this is the deal you disobey me you
guys try to escape you die no boyfriend
you irritate or vex me I’m known to be
quite vexing I’m just for warning you
you die in keeping with their
contemporary comic-book counterparts
these bad guys are kept on a really
short leash well technically they have a
significant amount of mobility because
quite frankly their job description
involves a lot of running jumping
shooting and impressive feats of
strength so much for low profile but
thanks to a micro bomb implanted in each
member of The Suicide Squad Amanda
Waller has the ability to end the lives
of squad members with the click of a
button
nobody screws the wall do it again look
maybe the skin is too thick
that’s about the most effective leaks
you can ask for if you’re trying to keep
tabs on this band of career criminals
and Psychopaths Suicide Squad
instructions read as follows
you can kill but only the people we tell
you to or be killed
number eight that man’s rule holiday
chit-chats gonna get charged in an
interview with Empire magazine Zack
Snyder revealed that most members of the
Suicide Squad have something in common
apart from being extremely dangerous
criminals they have Batman to thank for
their current stay in prison it’s
unclear as to how much screen time the
Dark Knight will get in this villain
centric flick but the first trailer
revealed that he’ll be interacting with
the Joker or at least taking a ride on
the hood of the Joker sports car it’s
hard to imagine the Caped Crusader being
okay with Amanda Waller letting
criminals out of prison which has led to
speculation that will most likely be see
him trading words with the brains behind
the Suicide Squad as well Waller you
knew when you sent your little Suicide
Squad into Arkham they’d go off-script
numbers have it Harley Quinn’s long
short list what was that I should kill
everyone and escape sorry
the voices I’m kidding than what they
really said the teaser trailer for
Suicide Squad took Comic Con and the
world by storm in 2015 and Margot
Robbie’s Harley Quinn was central to
this eerie and captivating first peak
hey if this first look and subsequent
trailers have made fans hopeful for one
thing it’s that Harley Quinn will not
disappoint the hell’s wrong with you
people
you’re bad guys it’s what we do it’s
hard to believe the WB ever considered
anyone else but they reportedly
shortlisted Alison Brie Mila Kunis Emma
Watson kat dennings Jennifer Lawrence
and many others suggesting that the
character could have gone in many
different directions WB and David Ayer
seemingly had full confidence in their
final choice however as according to
Robbie she didn’t even have to audition
I actually got offered this one I didn’t
want this audition which is a real step
up as an actor when you can get offered
things number six prioritizing practical
effects
so save the world CGI and film has made
leaps and bounds since it was first used
to digitize the worldview of Yul
Brynner’s robotic gun slinger in the
1973 film West world but for all the
progress it’s still hard to deny that
CGI when used too liberally take
something away from contemporary action
films Christopher Nolan might have
prioritized practical effects over CGI
in his bat films but Zack Snyder’s
Batman vs Superman was criticized for
overusing CGI especially in the
climactic panel yeah we’ll do it what
have you done
thankfully David Ayer has stated in
interviews that suicide squads
production focused on practical effects
as much as possible with characters like
enchantress and El Diablo in the lineup
will surely see some CGI magic but
hopefully it’ll be in moderation
number 5 matching tattoos I was writing
a word and I spelt it wrong apparently
David Ayer strongly encouraged his
Suicide Squad cast to bond over the
course of filming if they were to become
a believable ragtag team of misfits
on-screen they needed to be a tight-knit
team off-camera first they hung out
together in a communal rec room where
they had birthday parties watched sports
and played ping-pong
according to Killer Croc himself a day
while a Akeno at ballet Will Smith took
the lead in team-building activities
beer whiskey what am i 12
how are you hot stuff water a number of
cast and crew members seemingly went so
far as to tattoo sk w ad on each other
and in photos it appears that margot
robbie performed some of the tattooing
herself she actually admits to having
made a spelling mistake once
oops how did you spell it whoa everyone
willing it as sk w ad but i went
straight from the s to the w swad
unfortunately there’s really no take to
when you’re tattooing remind me not to
let you tattoo but if you still want one
number four
ryan gosling almost played the Joker
let’s play Hollywood what if what if
John Travolta hadn’t turned down the
role in Forrest Gump what if Tom Hanks
had played Jerry Maguire what if Ryan
Gosling hadn’t walked away from being
the Joker apparently he was offered the
role first Jared Leto is a respected
actor but Ryan Gosling is one of the few
contemporary actors with comparable
clout and film resume to back it up I
got this sweet job coming up how about
this shut your mouth I’ll kick your
teeth down you throwing now Shia for you
he was initially interested but the
multi film contract killed the deal
Joker maybe the role of a lifetime but
not necessarily the one he wanted to
spend a lifetime playing Ryan Gosling
hasn’t committed to a long-running
project since young Hercules hey can you
blame him for wanting to keep his
options open though hey nice
Hado number three Tom Hardy originally
cast as Rick Flagg brick you’re a good
soldier your father would be proud it’s
hard to believe that this 1998 male
modeling competition winner became one
of Hollywood’s biggest names The Dark
Knight Rises failed to please everyone
but the sheer brutality of Hardy’s
grounded
Nolan verse interpretation of Bane was
certainly a standout performance
stock-exchange
there’s no money you could steal right
now why are you people here fans rejoice
to hear that he’d be joining the Suicide
Squad but filming overlapped with the
revenant forcing him to drop out start
out and feel nuttin I just heard the
sound of knife scraping against my skull
as sad as was to lose him it’s still a
testament to David Ayer script that
Hardy took the role Jai Courtney had
vowed to never do a comic book movie
until he heard David Ayres pitch here’s
hoping that the compelling script
translates to the screen and maybe Hardy
will get another shot to join the team
in a sequel
fine
number two reshoots so that’s it huh
we’re the passes
with some kind of Suicide Squad it’s a
word that media outlets love to jump on
the dreaded reshoots reshoots have
garnered the reputation of meaning this
movie is a train wreck but in reality
most big-budget films involve some
reshoots hi boys
with a film of this scope it’s often
worth going back and fine-tuning to get
the best results even in situations
where reshoots are used to fix major
issues as World War Z certainly proved
according to the rumor mill Suicide
Squad underwent reshoots to add more
levity despite a few jokes in the
trailer it was supposedly turning into a
pretty dark movie after the mediocre
reception Batman V Superman received
with its somber tone insiders claimed
that the studio ordered a comedic
booster shot for Suicide Squad however
the film’s director David Ayer maintains
that the reshoots are not to adjust the
film’s tone y’all Joker’s must be crazy
but before we reveal our top pick here a
few honorable mentions
this ain’t no task force let’s call it
like it is welcome to The Suicide Squad
number one Jared Leto’s method acting oh
I’m not gonna kill ya
I’m just gonna hurt you really really
bad method acting has been used by many
of the greats including Marlon Brando
Sally Field Daniel day-lewis Jack
Nicholson and tragically Heath Ledger
when he took on the mantle of the Clown
Prince of Crime – the Dark Knight
whatever
I believe whatever doesn’t kill you
simply makes you a stranger thankfully
Jared Leto seems to have successfully
come out the other side of his time as
mr. J but things still got pretty dark
and weird during his time and character
he reportedly sent his fellow cast
members gifts that only a true gang of
sadistic killers could appreciate things
like bullets sly brats a dead pig used
condoms and more he sent a dead pig
Margo got a live rat the rat is a tane
gift I still have the snake he gave me
pinky Leto describes the role as walking
on hallowed ground and in order to do it
justice he needed to live as the Joker
