8. The Director Is Named After A Bomb
Taken 2 director Olivier Megaton - a former graffiti artist - actually uses a pseudonym, and was born Olivier Fonfana. He actually takes his action movie friendly name from his birthday: the 6th of August 1965, which was the 20th anniversary of day American forces dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. Which as inspirations for names go is fairly bloody grim. Incidentally, his nickname is The Rubiks Cube because he claims to always have one with me since he was twelve, to help him focus.
