Did you know

• (at around 1h 18 mins) When Shazam attempts to fly in the mall during his battle with Dr. Sivana, a group of seemingly unimpressed shoppers can be seen in the background paying him little mind. Those were actually visible crew members that were filmed by accident. Shopping bags were inserted digitally to give them the appearance of shoppers and cover the mistake up.

• In the original comics, the seven evil statues on Shazam's Rock of Eternity were originally known as the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man, a more family-friendly version of the same idea. Sloth was called laziness, wrath was called hatred, gluttony was selfishness, and lust was injustice.

• (at around 58 mins) At the abandoned factory where Freddy trains Billy and records his powers, the sign "Ace Chemicals" can be seen in the background. That's the factory where the Joker was born. (Batman (1989) renamed the factory Axis Chemicals.)
