Former WWE superstar Dave Bautista and funny-man Kumail Nanjiani join forces to stop a sadistic, bloodthirsty terrorist from wreaking havoc. Here’s what you didn’t know.
Stuber

1. Stuber is the first R-rated film to be released by 20th Century Fox since its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company.

 

2. The movie is considered to be a remake of 1998’s Taxi.

 

3. We’re not quite sure if it is an homage or a spoof but, after the shootout in the vet’s office, white doves fly around the room. This is reminiscent of action director John Woo’s films in which white doves fly around during big action scenes.

 

4. Throughout most of the film, Stu wears a T-shirt from the St-Viateur Bagel Shop, a well-known Montreal Canada bakery open 24/7.

 

5. Karen Gillan may only have a 5-minute cameo in Stuber, but it’s not the first time she and Dave Bautista have worked together. They have also appeared together in the MCU and you can catch them in Avengers: Endgame on DStv Now.
