00:00A great movie doesn't need to be densely packed with incredible secret details, but
00:04it's almost never made a movie worse, right?
00:08It's always great fun to revisit a film and stumble across secrets you'd never noticed
00:12before, from deftly hidden easter eggs to low-key character and plot developments.
00:17You'll never be able to watch these scenes the same way again, but thankfully in each
00:21case it's most certainly for the better, and will give you something fun to point out
00:26to your friends during your next group viewing.
00:28This is war culture, and here are film secrets that were hiding in plain sight.
00:33It's set in 1962 – The Incredibles
00:36No matter how many times you've seen The Incredibles, have you ever stopped to think
00:40about its time period?
00:42Pixar's classic superhero animation adopts a retro-futuristic aesthetic, which makes its
00:48precise year tricky to pin down, featuring a mix of technology both decades old and brand
00:54new in its then-release year of 2004.
00:57Almost likely assumed that the film took place in that year, and I mean, what a year, right?
01:02Its true setting is actually revealed early on, when we see Mr. Incredible reading a newspaper
01:08at home after a long day at the office.
01:11Look closely, and the date can be made out – May 16th, 1962.
01:16Director Brad Bird has since stated that he modelled the film's visual style off what people
01:21in the 1960s thought the future would look like, hence the collision of period and contemporary
01:27tech.
01:28Furthermore, given that the movie's prologue, where supers are outlawed, takes place 15 years
01:33prior to the rest of the story, we can deduce that the film kicks off all the way back in
01:381947, back during the golden age of comics.
01:42Neat.
01:43The Squad's Criminal Records, Guardians of the Galaxy After being jailed at the end of
01:47the first act, each member of the Guardians of the Galaxy is put in a matching yellow jumpsuit,
01:52with the only differences being the pattern and colour of the lines on the left leg.
01:57Fans quickly put together that these must be a reflection of their criminal records, an
02:00idea which director James Gunn later expanded upon.
02:04Apparently, the colours stand in for different crimes, including murder, arson, burglary,
02:09and grievous bodily harm.
02:11Gamora's are almost exclusively the same colour, reflecting her long list of murders
02:16and assassinations as the daughter of Thanos, while rockets cover pretty much everything
02:20previously mentioned, as well as breaking out of prison and public drunkenness.
02:25We've all been there, little guy.
02:26Not only is it a nice little detail, but also expands upon both the character's history
02:30and personalities.
02:32Acting is a great reflection of the criminal past they eventually leave behind.
02:36Well, mostly leave behind.
02:38The clock tower is being unloaded in the background, Back to the Future Part 3.
02:43No matter how many times you've seen the Back to the Future movies, this is a pretty
02:46easy one to miss.
02:48In the third film, when Marty and Doc are talking to the train driver about the train's maximum
02:52speed, pay attention to what's going on behind them.
02:55That's right, you can see a giant clock being unloaded from the train, which is obviously
02:59the very same clock that adorns the top of Hill Valley's clock tower in the future.
03:04The clock tower is, of course, one of the town's major monuments and plays a significant
03:08part in the series' events, with Doc climbing the tower in the first movie to install a lightning
03:12rod, which eventually allows the DeLorean to travel through time.
03:16Seeing its origin here is an extremely cute touch, even if the overwhelming majority of
03:21viewers totally missed it.
03:23The couple from the beginning are still together at the end.
03:26Die Hard
03:27Early on in John McTiernan's Die Hard, you'll surely remember the seemingly drunk, loved-up
03:33couple who accidentally stumble into Holly's office while John McClane is getting changed.
03:38They promptly duck out, and once Hans Gruber and the boys siege the Nakatomi Plaza, we see
03:43them being accosted in another office, all while they're in the middle of rocking around
03:47the Christmas tree.
03:49That seems to be the end of the matter, but if you look closely during the film's final
03:52moments once Gruber and his men have been defeated, the pair can once again be seen in
03:57the crowd, outside the plaza.
03:59What would Christmas be with that bit of romance?
04:01Bellwether's true motivations, Zootopia.
04:04Though pretty much every Disney movie features a twist in regards to its main villain, one
04:08of the most surprising in recent memory came in Zootopia.
04:12Uncovering a plot about corrupt officials attempting to frame predators for allegedly turning feral,
04:17it turns out that a seemingly innocent sheep, Assistant Mayor Bellwether, is actually responsible
04:22for the whole thing.
04:23She's a wolf in sheep's clothing, if you will, yeah yeah, don't worry, I'll be here
04:28all week.
04:29As it seemingly comes out of nowhere, one small sticky note on her desk at the beginning
04:33of the movie actually revealed her relationship to the conspiracy plot straight away.
04:37In between everything is the scribbled down number of Doug, a name which means nothing
04:41to the viewer initially.
04:43However, it's later revealed that he's the one responsible for shooting animals and making
04:47them feral, of course, on Bellwether's orders.
04:50Loki's sceptre causes the Avengers to argue the Avengers.
04:54One of the Avengers' most memorable scenes is the sequence where the heroes start arguing
04:58amongst themselves in Bruce Banner's lap.
05:01But what isn't made immediately obvious is that this squabbling is in fact caused by
05:05the presence of Loki's sceptre, which houses the Mind Stone.
05:09Granted, it wasn't known at the time of the film's release that the sceptre contained the
05:12Mind Stone, and it possibly wasn't even conceived yet.
05:16But re-watching the scene today, it's a plot point quite literally hiding in plain sight.
05:21For starters, Joss Whedon briefly focuses on the sceptre when the argument breaks out, and
05:25the camera even flips upside down to indicate that something untoward is happening, along
05:29with a high-pitched sound being emitted.
05:31This sound rings out again later in the scene as Tony Stark appears to have a headache, suggesting
05:36the sceptre is affecting the heroes' minds.
05:38Elsewhere, you've got that distinctly off-kilter Dutch angle shot of Thor that feels totally
05:44at odds with the rest of the scene, and also Banner instinctively grabbing the sceptre
05:48at the end of the confrontation.
05:49It's easy to take the scene on its own terms, especially if you haven't watched the movie
05:53in quite some time, but all the evidence is quite blatantly laid out for viewers.
05:57Little did we know that this stone would also later become Vision.
06:01The supreme beings are hovering above a tiny convenience store, Bill and Ted's Excellent
06:06Adventure.
06:07Here's an especially mind-melding secret because it only became noticeable once the movie was
06:12released on 4K, more than 30 years after its original theatrical release.
06:18In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the titular duo, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves, eventually
06:23travel to the far future, where they discover a utopian society that worships them and their
06:29music.
06:30In the scene, we meet three supreme beings who were shown levitating on top of a large
06:34bench-like object.
06:35In previous releases of the movie, it simply wasn't possible to get a clear look at the
06:40object, but per the high-resolution 4K release, it's revealed to be a miniature version of
06:46the Circle K convenience store where Rufus first locates the duo and sets their glorious future
06:52in motion.
06:53Evidently, the Circle K has itself become a totem of worship with the future society, a fact which
06:59surprised both Alex Winter and the film's writer, Ed Solomon, neither of whom had any
07:04memory of this prop appearing on set.
07:07Tesla vs Edison, The Prestige.
07:09While The Prestige, like each one of Christopher Nolan's movies, has a fair share of details
07:14which become more meaningful when you know the full story, it's an entirely missable subplot
07:18between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison that's the most interesting.
07:23The film never actually shows Edison on screen, opting to focus on David Bowie's Tesla, but
07:28it does show how he's just as committed to ruining his rival's inventions as the two
07:32magicians are to ruining each other's magic shorts-sorry, sorry, illusions.
07:38Ruining each other's illusions.
07:40When Tesla shows off his latest machine on stage, he's heckled in a blink and you'll
07:43miss it shot by a bearded man in the audience, apparently there to highlight how risky the
07:49inventor's new creation is.
07:50However in another shot towards the end, the same man is present at a hotel, and the receptionist
07:56refers to him as one of Thomas Edison's men.
07:59Not only does this add an extra meaning to the prior sequence, but it hints even more
08:03strongly to the rivalry between the two inventors going on behind the scenes.
08:08Marla's bus driver has a black eye and is a Fight Club member.
08:12Fight Club.
08:13In Fight Club's third act, the narrator puts Marla Singer on a bus for her own safety, and
08:18for maybe a second, we get a brief look at the bus driver.
08:21His face isn't terribly well lit in the scene, but keen-eyed viewers might have noticed that
08:25he's sporting a black eye, subtly implying that he himself is a member of Fight Club,
08:31and explaining how Marla ends up kidnapped by Tyler Durden for the film's explosive climax.
08:36Slightly more obvious is the fact that as the bus drives away, several of the passengers
08:40can be seen standing up and approaching Marla, but again, the scene's low lighting makes
08:44it incredibly easy to miss this fact, or simply dismiss it as passengers getting up to disembark
08:49the bus.
08:50Norrington cleans the black pearl with his old wig.
08:53Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest.
08:56James Norrington was introduced in the original Pirates of the Caribbean as a major foil for
09:00the roguish heroes, the wig-wearing Commodore attempting to capture Jack Sparrow while quote-unquote
09:06rescuing the object of his affections, Elizabeth Swann.
09:10By the time the first sequel, Dead Man's Chest, rolls around, a disgraced Norrington has resigned
09:16from the British Navy and disappeared to parts unknown, until he's discovered boozing it up
09:21in the dirty remnants of his uniform in Tortuga.
09:24A desperate Norrington eventually joins the crew of Sparrow's ship, the Black Pearl, where
09:29we briefly see him scrubbing away at the ship's deck.
09:32But look again, Norrington isn't merely using any old rag to clean the ship.
09:37He's using his old Commodore's wig, which is naturally now a ratty, sodden mess.
09:43If nothing else, it's a slightly amusing indication of just how far Norrington has fallen, using a
09:50symbol of his former status to scrub the scum off his enemy's ship.
09:54Luke's projection didn't leave footprints, The Last Jedi.
09:58With the full might of the First Order facing down on him, everything was set for the confrontation
10:03between Luke and Kylo Ren in The Last Jedi to be the highlight of the movie.
10:07Everything was in place, except for one tiny little detail, Luke wasn't actually there.
10:13While it's obvious in hindsight, I mean, how did Luke have the time to get a fresh trim,
10:17dye his beard, and grab his old lightsaber, while the fate of the entire galaxy was hanging in the balance?
10:22There is one key detail which makes this even clearer. The surface of the planet thereon is
10:27initially white salt, which turns into a dark red when anyone touches it. Consequently, the pristine
10:33surface is completely different colours by the time Luke turns up to the battle, however he doesn't
10:38seem to be able to impact it. Multiple times we see him walking on the salt without leaving any
10:43footprints, while Kylo and everyone else does. Obviously, to a lot of fans' chagrin, it's because he's not there.
10:51Bond learns a poker trick from earlier in the movie, Casino Royale.
10:55Casino Royale features many moments demonstrating 007's sly intelligence, such as the outstanding
11:01parkour sequence where he uses his cunning to outmaneuver a much faster opponent,
11:05and the iconic poker game in Montenegro which sees him utilising a neat trick he had inflicted
11:10upon himself earlier on. In the first act, Bond is playing poker in the Bahamas when his mark,
11:16Alex Dimitrios, uses his beautiful wife, Solange, to distract his fellow players.
11:21That doesn't stop Bond winning Dimitrios' Aston Martin DB5, though. 007 clearly took
11:26note of this trick, however, as in the high-stakes poker game in the Casino Royale later, he has
11:31Vesper Lind make an attention-grabbing entrance in a stunning purple dress, leaving the other
11:36poker players totally stunned and slack-jawed.
11:39It's a small moment, but one that nevertheless gives Bond a temporary psychological edge in the game,
11:44and given the movie is all about 007 learning on the job and amassing his signature calculating
11:49intelligence, it was a brilliantly subtle way to imply that.
11:53Eddie's clown training lets him kill the weasels. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
11:58Near the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, hero Eddie Valiant, played by the brilliant Bob Hoskins,
12:03performs a goofy vaudeville-esque slapstick routine, injuring himself in comically over-the-top fashion
12:10in order to make the Tomb Patrol, a gang of cartoony weasels, laugh themselves to death.
12:15Yet Eddie's pratfalls didn't just come out of nowhere. They were surreptitiously set up earlier
12:21in the film, when we catch a brief glimpse of a photo on his desk, showing both himself and his
12:26brother as children, on the road with their father, who was a clown for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum
12:33and Bailey Circus. Given that the picture even shows young Eddie himself dressed up as a clown,
12:38it's reasonable to deduce that this is where he honed his unexpected penchant for physical comedy,
12:43as ultimately served him so well decades later, allowing him to rescue Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
12:50How Two-Face got in Moroni's car, The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is a pretty grounded film,
12:55but it still features a handful of fantastical moments, usually involving the ridiculous plans
13:01of the supervillains that you just have to go with. One which became a source of contention after release,
13:06however, was just how the hell Two-Face managed to slip into Moroni's car unnoticed. There is,
13:11however, a pretty obvious explanation for this. If you watch the scene of Moroni and his men getting
13:16into the car again, you can actually see Dent take out one of his goons if you keep your eyes focused
13:22on the left side of the frame. Ingeniously, Christopher Nolan made sure that that was the
13:26last place you would ever be looking, not only by putting Moroni himself on the opposite end of the
13:31frame, but by moving the camera to the right to keep you following it. Still, once you do notice,
13:36it's hard to not see the move every single time, but that only makes it even more satisfying.
13:42Woody Harrelson's character tampers with his grenade before it kills him, the thin red line.
13:47Woody Harrelson has a small but memorable role in Terrence Malick's war epic as Sergeant Keck,
13:53who memorably dies during an enemy engagement after reaching for his grenade and accidentally
13:57pulling out the pin. Before he has time to react, he's mortally wounded by the exploding grenade,
14:03and though it's not immediately apparent to viewers, Keck essentially ended up getting himself
14:07killed. Earlier in the film, Keck is seen using a knife to bend the pin on the grenade,
14:12a classic army tactic intended to make pulling the pin faster in the heat of battle,
14:16but one that obviously comes at the expense of safety. To most, it simply seems like Keck got a
14:21bum rap with a defective grenade, but if you're really paying attention to him earlier,
14:25he compromised the explosive device all by himself.
14:28The Melting Marshmallow Man does the Terminator 2 thumbs up.
14:32Ghostbusters Afterlife
14:34You probably remember the scene in Ghostbusters Afterlife where ghosts are let loose at a Walmart,
14:39and we witness tiny versions of the stape of Marshmallow Man coming to life,
14:43before cheerily melting themselves and being turned into s'mores.
14:47But pay close attention where one of the delicious little fellas is melting on top of a barbecue grill.
14:52As he turns to Sugary Goop and disappears through the grill, he makes a very distinctive hand gesture.
14:59Yes, the little marshmallow man raises up his thumb, in what's clearly a reference to the ending
15:04of Terminator 2 Judgment Day, where Arnie's T-800 does the very same thing while being lowered into
15:10the molten steel and destroyed.
15:12The T-Rex isn't Chasing Claire, Jurassic World. Despite Jurassic World being a very, very dumb movie,
15:19the one small leap in logic that took the most flack post-release came from Claire,
15:24managing to outrun a T-Rex whilst wearing heels.
15:27That initially does seem a bit dumb, but there's one detail everyone overlooked which explains everything.
15:33Early in the movie it's established that flares are used to train the T-Rex and other dinos to eat on command,
15:39with the camp operators throwing them at other animals to devour.
15:43There's an association so that the creatures will follow the flare with the expectation
15:47that food will be waiting for them on the other end. Consequently then,
15:50when Claire cracks open a flare at the very end and starts to run away from the T-Rex,
15:55the reason she isn't instantly eaten is because the dinosaur isn't actually chasing her,
16:00but rather following her. It's being conditioned to understand that flare equals food,
16:04so it isn't necessarily trying to get her, but rather find something it can chow down on.
16:09A medieval version of The London Eye appears in one shot, A Knight's Tale.
16:15A Knight's Tale is a ludicrously entertaining medieval adventure romp that, with its soundtrack
16:20of contemporary pop music and plentiful anachronistic dialogue, hasn't even the faintest pretense
16:25of period accuracy. Keep your eyes peeled deep into the movie's third act, however, and you might
16:30stumble across one especially hilarious hidden gag, the presence of a medieval version of The London Eye,
16:36some 600 plus years before it was actually built, and roughly 500 years before the first Ferris wheel
16:42was even invented. It gets even better though. You probably assumed The London Eye was simply a CGI
16:47addition in post-production, right? Nope. The $65 million movie spent a ludicrous $500,000 of its
16:54budget constructing an actual scale model of the damn thing. There's no way that expense would be
16:59justifiable to any producer with basic business sense, but you have to admire their tangible commitment
17:05to the joke. I'd say it was worth it, even if it is just for this.
17:08Miles Braun's Upside Down Rothko, Glass Onion and Knives Out Mystery
17:13There's one very early indication in Glass Onion that the film's ultimate antagonist,
17:18the Elon Musk-esque tech bro Miles Braun, played by Edward Norton, isn't so much a criminal mastermind
17:25as he is a superficial dumbass simply posing as one. Look around his lush surroundings and you can spot
17:32Mark Rothko's 1961 painting number 207 hanging up, an immediately recognisable colour-feel painting
17:39comprised of red and dark blue blocks. But more crucially, as will only be apparent to art aficionados
17:47and I'm not one, Braun has actually hung the painting upside down, with the block of red colour
17:53incorrectly appearing at the bottom rather than at the top. Even if this isn't a smoking gun which pegs
17:59Braun as the killer, it does nevertheless indicate that he is only at most a passing,
18:04pretentious interest in fine art rather than a genuine knowledge or enthusiasm for it.
18:10The Unbreakable connection? Split. M Night Shyamalan's Split blew everyone's freaking minds back in 2016
18:17when the end credits revealed that it was actually a stealth sequel to the cult classic Unbreakable
18:21the whole time. There's not many connections between the two to be found in the movie itself,
18:26aside from old misery guts Bruce Willis showing up at the end anyway, but there was one gigantic
18:32clue featured in Split's poster that teased a relationship to Unbreakable months before it even
18:37came out. At first the cracks in the poster just looked to be reflecting the Split personalities
18:42referenced in the title, yeah yeah, nothing to see here, but if you line it up side by side with
18:48Unbreakable's poster you'll realise they actually continue the same design. Likewise they're both cracks in
18:54Glass, itself a reference to Mr Glass, a supervillain in this universe. Man this is so good it almost
19:00makes me forgive him for the last airbender. Oh my god, I can't believe I just said that.
19:06Howard is wearing earplugs before he shoots Emmett, 10 Cloverfield Lane. Perhaps the most viscerally
19:12jarring sequence in 10 Cloverfield Lane sees psychopathic creeper Howard holding Emmett at gunpoint
19:18after discovering that he and Michelle have stolen some of his tools. Howard ends up callously shooting
19:23Emmett in the face totally out of nowhere, and if you're really paying attention to the scene you
19:27might notice one demented added wrinkle. Howard is wearing earplugs. On the one hand, this explains why
19:33Howard isn't deafened by discharging the gun in such a confined space compared to Michelle whose
19:38hearing is temporarily affected. And on the other, some fans have speculated it also implies that Howard
19:43knew he was going to murder Emmett before the confrontation even started. For his part,
19:48director Dan Trachenberg says that the visible earplugs are actually a goof, but in the very
19:52least they explain how Howard's hearing is clearly unaffected by the gunshot, which without the
19:57earplugs would otherwise make no sense. A happy accident then? The shot of the VFX team making the
20:02movie. Everything Everywhere All At Once
20:05Due to post-production on Everything Everywhere All At Once being completed during one of the worst
20:10phases of the pandemic, the VFX team worked together remotely, using Zoom to collaborate on shots.
20:17And hilariously enough, directors the Daniels even included a screen grab from one of the teams in
20:22the final film itself. During the multiversal montage of all the different versions of protagonist
20:27Evelyn, played by Michelle Yeoh, we catch blink and you'll miss it flashes of seemingly hundreds of
20:33Evelyn's. And sneaked among them is a single frame shot of Michelle Yeoh stood against a green screen while
20:39the movie's VFX artist can be seen discussing the shot on the Zoom interface.
20:44The bride's name, Kill Bill. For much of the first Kill Bill, the audience is purposefully
20:48left out of the narrative. While the basics are established, the full extent of the story is
20:53kept under wraps, to the point where even the name of Uma Thurman's character is obscured.
20:58Dubbed either The Bride or Kiddo, there's even a scene where her full name is bleeped out,
21:02in order to keep her real identity a secret even to the people watching.
21:06However, despite going to great lengths to obscure it, her name actually does feature in the movie,
21:12albeit written down in a brief close-up. It's stamped on The Bride's boarding pass,
21:16revealing her name as Beatrix Kiddo. Director Quentin Tarantino actually extends this mystery
21:21into the second films, but for those scouring the fine details of that first flick, they'd
21:26already figured it out. The first shot spoils the movie's twist, Us. Much like his debut Get Out,
21:33Jordan Peele's Us is absolutely a movie that rewards viewers who pay attention,
21:37be it in the form of Easter eggs or visual gags which expand the movie's universe.
21:41And hilariously, observant viewers might notice that the spine of the film's plot is effectively
21:46spoiled in its very first shot, which focuses on a TV playing an ad for Hands Across America,
21:52with a VHS case of the 1984 cult classic horror film CHUD visible on the left-hand side. In its namesake,
22:01CHUD stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, and though Us's villainous tethered aren't
22:07ultimately revealed to be cannibals, they are underground dwellers who, much like in that other
22:11film, emerge above ground to terrorise well-to-do humans. The nod goes deeper than that though,
22:17as Peele revealed in an interview that his first childhood girlfriend was none other than the
22:21daughter of Douglas Cheek, the director of CHUD. Incredible! Though the VHS is easily missed,
22:28or even dismissed as merely a playful reference to a trashy classic, knowing how densely symbolic
22:34Get Out's visuals were, eagle-eyed audiences may well have put two and two together right from the
22:39jump. Meek's whiteboard spoils the entire film. Thor Love and Thunder
22:44Remember when Midsommar kicked off by showing a mural that not so cryptically revealed the plot of
22:49the entire movie? Well, Taika Waititi apparently thought that was a brilliant idea, because he just
22:54did the same thing in Thor Love and Thunder. Early on we see a very dapper Meek standing by a white
23:00board in New Asgard, and if you hit the pause button, the board is actually full of illustrations
23:06which basically show off the movie's entire narrative trajectory. The drawings clearly show
23:11Gorr getting Stormbreaker, Thor encountering Zeus, a fleet of children being imbued with Thor's powers,
23:18the appearance of Eternity, and even Jane Foster's demise. This shot comes and goes quickly enough
23:24that anybody watching the movie on the big screen had no time at all to make sense of it, but on
23:30streaming? Absolutely. The shot was also included in Love and Thunder's trailers, though was given a
23:35sneaky edit to ensure that enterprising fans didn't deduce the whole story months in advance,
23:40instead serving as a summary of the trailer itself. That is seriously sneaky.
23:45The guard's not giving a damn. Shutter Island. Shutter Island's final twist reveals that the
23:50whole narrative is a form of therapy concocted to snap psychiatric patient Teddy out of the delusions
23:56he's convinced himself are real, with pretty much everything in the film being constructed purely for
24:01him. This is obvious if you observe the entire cast though, as the employees of the island constantly
24:07mess up the roles they're given. Teddy's alleged detective partner, actually a doctor on the island,
24:13struggles to even get out his badge when he first arrives because it's attached to his gun holster,
24:18something which he's not used to wearing. However, the most obvious indication that everything is
24:23a show comes when the guards are searching for an allegedly missing patient. Though some are indeed
24:28pretending to search for her, a few shots make it clear that other guards are just relaxing.
24:32They're surprisingly laid back considering there's a missing person at hand, but that's because they know
24:37there really isn't, and have no drive to actually look around.
24:41Vincent and Jules are actually in the opening scene, Pulp Fiction. It's of course no secret that
24:47Pulp Fiction's terrific finale circles back to the movie's opening scene where Pumpkin and Honey Bunny
24:53are robbing a diner. But did you know that Tarantino actually hints at such during the iconic opening
24:59itself? While Pumpkin is talking about how much more sense it makes to rob a diner rather than a bank,
25:04you can faintly hear Jules having his famous moment of clarity dialogue in the background,
25:09and a few seconds later, Vincent can be seen walking to the toilet on Honey Bunny's left.
25:13Better still, the timing between the two versions of the scene matches up perfectly down to the very
25:19second. In a movie that already must have been an editing nightmare, this is insanely impressive.
25:24A man is laying next to Joy while she accuses Craig of cheating.
25:28Friday
25:29Cult Classic Comedy Friday has more layers than you ever imagined, given that so many of its fans
25:35have missed this hilariously sneaky gag no matter how many times they've seen it. When Craig's
25:39girlfriend Joy memorably calls him up and accuses him of cheating, look to the side of her and you'll
25:44see that she's actually got a man sleeping in her bed. As if Joy's not shown to be crazy enough,
25:50she's off accusing Craig of being unfaithful while doing the very same thing herself.
25:55As a mere screenshot, this is obviously too damn obvious to miss, and yet take a peek online and
26:00you'll find that loads of fans are only recently discovering it for the first time.
26:05Thor not being the firstborn, Avengers Age of Ultron. Thor's nightmare in Avengers Age of Ultron
26:10turned out to be a pretty iffy scene in the grand scheme of things, as while the prophecy of the
26:15end of Asgard did come into play, Thor Ragnarok's apocalyptic narrative didn't really reflect this
26:20scene. That said, it's still an important part of the franchise for one reason, it actually
26:25revealed that Thor wasn't Odin's first child. While interacting with a crazed Heimdall, Thor is
26:30referred to as the first son of Odin, rather than his firstborn or first child. While that could just
26:37be strange phrasing, it could also be a reference to the fact that while Thor was indeed Odin's first
26:42son, the goddess of death, Hela, was eventually revealed to have been born before him.
26:47John Wick's new dog was scheduled to be put down, John Wick. The first John Wick ends with the
26:53titular assassin breaking into an animal clinic and freeing a pit bull, taking it as his own pet,
26:58and eventually naming it Good Dog in the sequel. But if you're not paying incredibly close attention,
27:03it's easy to miss the precise nature of what John is up to here, and many assumed on initial viewing
27:08that John might have just nicked somebody's beloved dog. It's only clearly visible on screen
27:12for maybe half a second, but Good Dog's case notes have a to-be-put-down stamp on the front.
