Trivia
- The Pyro has two animations for this taunt: one somewhat feminine, another more masculine.
- This is a common film gesture that is often stereotypically attributed to directors and photographers. By placing one's index finger against the opposing thumb on both hands, a natural square is created that mimics the widescreen aspect ratio of film. When placing this "square" over a prospective scene or event, one then can imagine or explain how the scene would look to a viewer if filmed or photographed, whilst keeping note of what may get cut off on the sides.
- Some of the classes use a different method of the gesture in which both thumbs oppose each other and the index fingers are parallel.
- An unused texture exists in the game files that depicts the previous backpack icon being made,
taunt_replay_large_layers.vtf. Notably, by disabling the alpha mask, Engineer's legs are visible, which weren't previously seen with the previous backpack icon, which weren't there even by checking thetaunt_replay_large.vtftexture through external tools.
