Action: Captain America: Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. Trivia: In several scenes, Natasha Romanoff wears a necklace with an arrow on it. This is a reference to her teammate, Hawkeye. The necklace was Scarlett Johanssons idea. There is a brief mention of a Canadian agency called Department H by Natasha Romanoff, which was the organization that experimented on Wolverine and gave him his Adamantium-bonded skeleton in the Marvel comics. In addition, it is the organization that created the Canadian superhero team, Alpha Flight. Anthony Mackies appearance in this film fulfills his dream of playing a Marvel comic book character. He wrote a series of e-mail pleas to Marvel wanting to play any comic character that would appear on film. Though the studio repeatedly replied to him that they will respond in due time, Mackies emails caught the attention of Kevin Feige who subsequently offered him the role of Falcon. When Helicarriers look for their targets on one of the monitors there is a wire-frame model of formerly Stark Tower in New York now sporting the Avengers Sign. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) relates a story of his grandfather being an elevator operator. In real life, Samuel L. Jacksons father was an elevator operator. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson wrote their own dialogue for several scenes they had together. During filming, Sebastian Stan would walk around all day practicing his moves with a plastic knife because he wanted his movements to feel natural. Unlike the other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Winter Soldier minimizes the use of visual effects as much as possible. Anthony Mackie, elaborated: The Russos, what they did that was so great was, they wanted to stay with live action, which is a dying art form...If they could build it, they built it. If we could do it, we did it. They wanted to do as little CGI as possible. Thats why the movie looks so great. When the Helicarriers are revealed for the first time, Fury mentions to Captain America that Stark insisted on making changes to the propulsion systems. In The Avengers (2012), Iron Man struggled to restart the damaged propeller-based engines of an earlier generation Helicarrier. The new Helicarriers seem to use jet or repulsor technology instead of propellers to create lift. In battling the Winter Soldier, Captain America needs all the resources he can get, including his iconic shield, which has a lot more uses in the film. The shield is traditionally used mostly as a defensive weapon, but in Captain America: The Winter Soldier the filmmakers wanted to explore using it more as an offensive weapon. There are two handles on the shield and Steve Rogers can hold onto the handles in order to utilize it in an eastern style of fighting. Robert Redford wanted to do the film because his grandchildren are fans of Marvel films and he wanted them to see him in one. UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre plays a French mercenary in the film. For the filmmakers, landing the popular MMA fighter for the role was a stroke of luck and good timing but is was equally a stroke of luck for Georges St-Pierre who was excited to get his first chance at being in a big action movie. In the scene where Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff encounter the Arnim Zola supercomputer, it identifies Natasha as being born in 1984. Scarlett Johansson, who plays Natasha, was born in 1984. Natasha Romanov disguised as Councilwoman Hawley, wearing a holographic mask of Councilwoman Hawley is a nod to 2012s Total Recall, which in the film, Colin Farrels character Douglas Quiad disguises himself as a Japanese man by wearing a holographic mask. Quotes: Nick Fury: Get me Agent Hill. Fury Car: Communications array damaged. Nick Fury: Whats not damaged? Fury Car: Air conditioning is fully operational. Natasha Romanoff: Did you do anything fun Saturday night? Steve Rogers: Well, all the guys from my barbershop quartet are dead, so, no, not really. Natasha Romanoff: You know, if you ask Kristen out, from Statistics, shed probably say yes. Steve Rogers: Thats why I dont ask. Natasha Romanoff: Too shy, or too scared? Steve Rogers: Too busy! Natasha Romanoff: Hey, fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? Im here to pick up a fossil. Steve Rogers: Thats hilarious. #captainamerica #wintersoldier Trailer: https://youtube/watch?v=7SlILk2WMTI Elevator Clip: https://youtube/watch?v=jqIBGEcKhGs
