Sypnosis


With Von Doom back in his homeland of Latveria the fantastic four have new troubles when Galactus has decided that Earth is his next target. When his henchman, The Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd), is sent to Earth he discovers that he's getting more than he bargained for when he encounters the Fantastic Four. But that's not all when Dr. Doom decides that after two years in the homeland he is ready to return.

Trivia


• Don Payne has said the film is based upon Fantastic Four issue #48, in which Galactus also makes an appearance, as well as issues 57-60 in which Doom steals the Surfer's power. Payne has also said the film takes inspiration from the Ultimate Marvel limited series Ultimate Extinction.

• Stan Lee plays a rejected wedding guest in a cameo, in a tribute to his own fictional comic book incarnation.

• Was given a PG rating by the MPAA, the first Marvel film since Howard the Duck (1986) to earn this rating.

• Release prints were delivered to theaters with the fake title 'Broom Field'.

• Although the film uses the premise that the Silver Surfer gets his powers from his board, this is clearly not the case in the comics. In the comics, the Surfer is able to fly on his own and use his full gamut of powers without the aid of his surfboard. He uses it, however, as it significantly decreases the energy required for flight.

• When The Torch falls into the sand in the Middle East and rolls over to his back, in close up shots you can see the "4" logo in the sand next to his head.

• Reed's speech to General Hager about being a "good little nerd" is taken nearly verbatim from Ultimate Extinction #2 (in there, he was speaking to Nick Fury).

• Supporting character "Captain Frankie Raye" shares her name with comic-book super-hero Nova's alter ego. In the comic-books Frankie Raye was a love interest of Johnny Storm and, as Nova, succeeded the Silver Surfer as herald of Galactus
