20 Things You Somehow Missed In X-Men

8. The Score Was Composed By Michael "K-Men"

X-Men's sweeping original music was scored by the late, great, Oscar-nominated composer Michael Kamen (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Don Juan DeMarco), who was nevertheless given a cheeky, easily missed special credit on the movie's original score CD.

The cover art credited Kamen as "Michael K-Men" in a playful nod to the film's own title, and presumably also because he was the only major member of the crew with the word "men" in his name. Hugh Jackman was close, though.

While Kamen thankfully received a proper credit in the movie itself, clearly a bored intern decided to have some fun with this soundtrack cover.
