## Trivia

* Randall is often thought to be the first film's secondary antagonist, and Mr. Waternoose's (former) right-hand man. The reason for this is probably because at one point, Waternoose order Randall a few times and Mike explains everything to Celia as he says "Waternoose has this secret plot" as if Randall was his henchman but However, this is false information as the film itself states Randall is the real mastermind, and Waternoose the real henchman several times (despite Waternoose ordering Randall a few times as well as Mike saying "Waternoose has this secret plot" as he could have just assumed).
	+ One example is when Randall test the scream extractor on both Mike, and Boo, Randall can be seen making a evil grin which would mean he can't wait to succeeded his plans, Also when Sulley pull off the plug, Randall can be seen getting angry.
	+ A another hint of Randall being the mastermind behind of the plot is that when Mike tries to make Fungus let him go, Fungus said that Randall told him that he is not allowed to fraternize with viticms of his plan (stating that the plan was Randall's, and not Watenoose's).
	+ During Randall's first scene, When Randall said Shh? Shh? Ya hear that? it's the winds of change, a sound can be heard, and that sound is the same sound as the Scream Extractor which may mean that the sound that Randall was talking about was actually the scream extractor.
	+ When Randall gets angry that he is not the top scarer, Fungus said maybe that he should align the scream intake valve which later foreshadow Randall planning to revolutionize the scaring industry by kidnapping children.
	+ When the scarers are finished with scaring kids, Randall can be seen looking at the other scarers leaving which foreshadows that Randall plans to revolutionize the scaring industry by kidnapping children given that Randall said when everyone goes to lunch which means the scare floor will be empty.
	+ When Randall said that when he succeeded his plan, he said that Sulley will be working for him which shows that he also plans to be the new CEO of Monsters, Inc given that CEOs holds authority of all workers (despite CEOs can also be henchman or minions).
	+ Randall is seen ordering Fungus.
	+ After banishing Mike, and Sulley, Mr. Waternoose himself admits that Randall is behind everything when he told Randall that he should never trust him with the plan, and also said that because of Randall, he had to banished Sulley but Randall tells Waternoose that with the scream extractor, they don't need scarers, and Sulley got what he deserved. Plus, Waternoose angrily repiles that he (Sulley) was twice the scarer Randall will ever be which cause Randall to growl lowly in anger.
	+ When Sulley throws the scream extractor at Randall, and his henchman as well as Waternoose order Randall to stop Sulley, Randall was already enraged, and prepared to attack anyway.
	+ After Randall briefly got knocked out by Sulley, when Waternoose ordered Randall once again, and also told him "there can't be any witnesses", Randall responded in a sinister way that "There won't be", which suggests that Randall was using Waternoose as a pawn, and also plans to betrayed, and kill him after Sulley, and Mike.
	+ When Waternoose told Sulley that he, and Boo have seen too much, he meant too much of Randall's plan, and Plus, when Waternoose said that he had no choice to make things that way, This shows that Waternoose went along with Randall's plan to save the company, and when Waternoose said that he will kidnapp a thousand of children before he lets the company, and will silence anyone who gets in his way, he was doing it for Randall, and his plan.
	+ Although most of Randall's villainous acts during the first film commited while being Mr. Waternoose's boss, Randall is much prominent as the villain in the film since Waternoose's antagonistic role is only revealed near the end. Also, Randall is much more evil than Mr. Watenoose since his actions, and dispositions are more overtly malicious, and he holds a personal grudge against the protagonists, unlike Waternoose, who would have preferred them not get invovled in Randall's plan, and thus, needs to be eliminated.
	+ Randall is the most present villain in the first film, and also popular, and remembered a lot more than Waternoose.
	+ Steve Buscemi's name is listed first before James Coburn in the villain list. otherwise, it probably would have been James Coburn first.
	+ Because of Randall planning to succeed Sulley, and kidnap Boo from the the human world, he drove the plot of the film, and to mention he structured almost the whole plot of the film as well serving as the arch-enemy of Sulley.
	+ Most of the adaptations books mention that the plan was Randall's, and even said that Waternoose was cahoots or working with him instead of saying that Waternoose was behind of the plan.
	+ In the Disney As Told My Emoji episdoe which is based off the first film, Randall seem to be the main antagonist of the episode which is most likely based off that he is the main antagonist of Monsters, Inc.
	+ Randall is featured in the tribute of Pixar Villains showing that he is main antagonist of Monsters, Inc.

After waking up as the trio had escaped, he planned to kill Mr. Waternoose most likely to become Monsters Inc.'s new CEO/leader as well when he told him there cannot be withnesses to his plan.
* For some reason, Randall is the only scarer in the first film that is referred by his first name on the Scarers' Leaderboard rather than his last name where all of the others are called by their last name. This implies at one point, Randall was actually going to be his last name rather than his first name.
* In Monsters University, Randall is seen wearing glasses while in the original film, he doesn't.
