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.
00:56While most likely assumed that the film took place in that year, and I mean, what a year,
01:02right?
01:02It's 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.
01:14May 16th, 1962.
01:16Director Brad Bird has since stated that he modelled the film's visual style off what
01:21people in the 1960s thought the future would look like, hence the collision of period and
01:26contemporary tech.
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.
01:41Neat.
01:42The Squad's Criminal Records, Guardians of the Galaxy.
01:46After being jailed at the end of the first act, each member of the Guardians of the Galaxy
01:50is put in a matching yellow jumpsuit, with the only differences being the pattern and colour
01:54of the lines on the left leg.
01:56Fans quickly put together that these must be a reflection of their criminal records, an
02:01idea which director James Gunn later expanded upon.
02:04Apparently the colours stand in for different crimes, including murder, arson, burglary and
02:10grievous bodily harm.
02:11Gamora's are almost exclusively the same colour, reflecting her long list of murders and assassinations
02:17as the daughter of Thanos, while rockets cover pretty much everything previously mentioned
02:21as well as breaking out of prison and public drunkenness.
02:24We'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, acting as a great reflection of the criminal past they eventually leave
02:35behind.
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.
02:47In 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.
03:03The 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
03:32couple 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.
03:48That 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?
04:01It's Bellwether'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 and recent memory came in Zootopia.
04:12Uncovering a plot about corrupt officials attempting to frame predators for allegedly
04:16turning feral, it turns out that a seemingly innocent sheep, Assistant Mayor Bellwether,
04:21is actually responsible for 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.
04:29While 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, but what isn't made immediately obvious is
05:03that this squabbling is in fact caused by the presence of Loki's sceptre, which houses
05:07the Mind Stone.
05:08Granted, it wasn't known at the time of the film's release that the sceptre contained
05:12the Mind Stone, and it possibly wasn't even conceived yet, but re-watching the scene today,
05:17it's a plot point quite literally hiding in plain sight.
05:20For starters, Joss Whedon briefly focuses on the sceptre when the argument breaks out,
05:25and the 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.
05:39Elsewhere, you've got that distinctly off-kilter Dutch angle shot of Thor that feels totally at
05:44odds with the rest of the scene, and also Banner instinctively grabbing the sceptre at the
05:48end 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
06:12was released 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.
06:29In the scene, we meet three supreme beings who are shown levitating on top of a large bench-like
06:34object.
06:35In previous releases of the movie, it simply wasn't possible to get a clear look at the object,
06:41but per the higher resolution 4K release, it's revealed to be a miniature version of the
06:46Circle K convenience store, where Rufus, George Carlin, first locates the duo and sets their
06:52glorious future in motion.
06:54Evidently, the Circle K has itself become a totem of worship with the future society,
06:58a fact which surprised both Alex Winter and the film's writer, Ed Solomon, neither of
07:03whom had any memory 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
07:18subplot between 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
07:33magicians are to ruining each other's magic shorts.
07:35Sorry!
07:36Sorry.
07:37Illusions.
07:37Ruining each other's illusions.
07:39When 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
08:25that he'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.
08:42But again, the scene's low lighting makes it incredibly easy to miss this fact, or simply
08:47dismiss it as passengers getting up to disembark the bus.
08:55James 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,
09:05unquote, rescuing 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
09:21it up in 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.
09:33Norrington isn't merely using any old rag to clean the ship.
09:36He'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
09:50a symbol 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
10:02between 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
10:21in the balance?
10:22There is one key detail which makes this even clearer.
10:25The surface of the planet thereon is initially white salt, which turns into a dark red when
10:30anyone touches it.
10:32Consequently, the pristine surface is completely different colours by the time Luke turns up
10:36to the battle.
10:37However, he doesn't seem to be able to impact it.
10:40Multiple times we see him walking on the salt without leaving any footprints, while Kylo,
10:45and everyone else, does.
10:47Obviously, 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, and the
11:06iconic poker game in Montenegro which sees him utilising a neat trick he had inflicted
11:11upon himself earlier on.
11:12In the first act, Bond is playing poker in The Bahamas when his mark, Alex Dimitrios, uses
11:17his beautiful wife Solange to distract his fellow players.
11:20That doesn't stop Bond winning Dimitrios' Aston Martin DB5, though.
11:25007 clearly took note of this trick, however, as in the high-stakes poker game in the Casino
11:29Royale later, he has Vesper Lind make an attention-grabbing entrance in a stunning purple dress, leaving
11:35the other poker players totally stunned and slack-jawed.
11:39It's a small moment, but one that nevertheless gives Bond a temporary psychological edge in the
11:44game.
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.
11:56Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
11:58Near the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, hero Eddie Valiant, played by the brilliant Bob
12:03Hoskins, performs a goofy vaudeville-esque slapstick routine, injuring himself in comically
12:09over-the-top fashion in order to make the Tomb Patrol, a gang of cartoony weasels, laugh
12:14themselves to death.
12:16Yet, Eddie's pratfuls didn't just come out of nowhere.
12:18They were surreptitiously set up earlier in the film, when we catch a brief glimpse of
12:23a photo on his desk showing both himself and his brother as children, on the road with their
12:29father who was a clown for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
12:34Given that the picture even shows young Eddie himself dressed up as a clown, it's reasonable
12:39to deduce that this is where he honed his unexpected penchant for physical comedy, as ultimately
12:44served him so well decades later, allowing him to rescue Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
12:52The Dark Knight is a pretty grounded film, but it still features a handful of fantastical
12:58moments, usually involving the ridiculous plans of the supervillains that you just have
13:03to go with.
13:04One which became a source of contention after release, however, was just how the hell Two-Face
13:08managed to slip into Moroni's car unnoticed.
13:11There is, however, a pretty obvious explanation for this.
13:14If you watch the scene of Moroni and his men getting into the car again, you can actually
13:18see Dent take out one of his goons if you keep your eyes focused on the left side of
13:23the frame.
13:24Ingeniously, Christopher Nolan made sure that that was the last place you would ever be
13:28looking, not only by putting Moroni himself on the opposite end of the frame, but by moving
13:33the camera to the right to keep you following it.
13:35Still, once you do notice, it's hard to not see the move every single time, but that only
13:40makes it even more satisfying.
13:42Woody Harsen's character tampers with his grenade before it kills him, the thin red line.
13:47Woody Harsen has a small but memorable role in Terrence Malick's war epic as Sergeant
13:52Keck, who memorably dies during an enemy engagement after reaching for his grenade and accidentally
13:57pulling out the pin.
13:58Before 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
14:06himself killed.
14:08Earlier in the film, Keck is seen using a knife to bend the pin on the grenade, a classic army
14:12tactic intended to make pulling the pin faster in the heat of battle.
14:16But one that obviously comes at the expense of safety.
14:19To most, it simply seems like Keck got a bum rap with a defective grenade.
14:23But if you're really paying attention to him earlier, he compromised the explosive device
14:27all by himself.
14:28The Melting Marshmallow Man does the Terminator 2 thumbs up.
14:32Ghostbusters Afterlife You probably remember the scene in Ghostbusters
14:36Afterlife where ghosts are let loose at a Walmart and we witness tiny versions of the
14:41state of Marshmallow Man coming to life before surely melting themselves and being turned
14:46into s'mores.
14:47But pay close attention where one of the delicious little fellas is melting on top of a barbecue
14:52grill.
14:52As he turns to Sugary Goop and disappears through the grill, he makes a very distinctive hand
14:58gesture.
14:59Yes, the little marshmallow man raises up his thumb in what's clearly a reference to the
15:04ending of Terminator 2 Judgment Day, where Arnie's T-800 does the very same thing while
15:09being lowered into the molten steel and destroyed.
15:12The T-Rex isn't chasing Claire, Jurassic World.
15:16Despite Jurassic World being a very, very dumb movie, the one small leap in logic that took
15:21the most flack post-release came from Claire managing 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
15:32everything.
15:33Early in the movie it's established that flares are used to train the T-Rex and other dinos
15:38to eat on command, with 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.
15:49Consequently then, when Claire cracks open a flare at the very end and starts to run
15:53away from the T-Rex, the reason she isn't instantly eaten is because the dinosaur isn't
15:59actually chasing her, but rather following her.
16:01It's been conditioned to understand that flare equals food, so isn't necessarily trying
16:06to 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.
16:27Keep your eyes peeled deep into the movie's third act, however, and you might stumble across
16:31one especially hilarious hidden gag.
16:33The presence of a medieval version of the London Eye, some 600-plus years before it was
16:38actually built, and roughly 500 years before the first Ferris wheel was even invented.
16:43It gets even better, though.
16:44You probably assumed the London Eye was simply a CGI edition in post-production, right?
16:49Nope.
16:49The $65 million movie spent a ludicrous $500,000 of its budget constructing an actual scale model
16:56of the damn thing.
16:57There's no way that expense would be justifiable to any producer with basic business sense,
17:02but you have to admire their tangible commitment to the joke.
17:05I'd say it was worth it, even if it is just for this.
17:08Miles Braun's Upside-Down Rothko.
17:11Glass 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
17:24mastermind, as he is a superficial dumbass simply posing as one.
17:29Look around his lush surroundings, and you can spot Mark Rothko's 1961 painting, number
17:35207, hanging up, an immediately recognisable colour-feel painting comprised of red and dark
17:41blue blocks.
17:42But, more crucially, as will only be apparent to art aficionados and I'm not one, Braun has
17:49actually hung the painting upside down, with the block of red colour incorrectly appearing
17:54at the bottom, rather than at the top.
17:56Even if this isn't a smoking gun which pegs Braun as the killer, it does nevertheless indicate
18:01that he is only, at most, a passing, pretentious interest in fine art, rather than a genuine
18:07knowledge or enthusiasm for it.
18:10The Unbreakable connection split.
18:13M Night Shyamalan's split blew everyone's freaking minds back in 2016, when the end credits
18:18revealed that it was actually a stealth sequel to the cult classic Unbreakable the whole time.
18:23There's not many connections between the two to be found in the movie itself, aside
18:27from old misery guts Bruce Willis showing up at the end anyway, but there was one gigantic
18:31clue featured in Split's poster, that teased a relationship to Unbreakable months before
18:37it even came out.
18:38At first, the cracks in the poster just looked to be reflecting the Split personalities referenced
18:43in 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.
18:52Likewise, they're both cracks in Glass, itself a reference to Mr. Glass, a supervillain in
18:58this universe.
18:59Man, this is so good, it almost makes me forgive him for The Last Airbender.
19:03Oh my god, I can't believe I just said that.
19:06Howard is wearing earplugs before he shoots Emmett, 10 Cloverfield Lane.
19:10Perhaps the most viscerally jarring sequence in 10 Cloverfield Lane sees psychopathic creeper
19:15Howard, holding Emmett at gunpoint after discovering that he and Michelle have stolen some of his
19:21tools. Howard ends up callously shooting Emmett in the face, totally out of nowhere,
19:25and if you're really paying attention to the scene, you might notice one demented added
19:29wrinkle. Howard is wearing earplugs.
19:31On the one hand, this explains why Howard isn't deafened by discharging the gun in such a confined
19:36space, compared to Michelle, whose hearing is temporarily affected. And on the other, some fans
19:41have speculated, it also implies that Howard knew he was going to murder Emmett before the
19:46confrontation even started. For his part, director Dan Trachenberg says that the visible earplugs
19:51are actually a goof, but in the very least, they explain how Howard's hearing is clearly
19:55unaffected by the gunshot, which without the earplugs would otherwise make no sense.
19:59A happy accident, then?
20:00The shot of the VFX team making the movie. 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
20:16on shots. And hilariously enough, directors The Daniels even included a screen grab from
20:21one of the teams in the final film itself. During the multiversal montage of all the different
20:26versions of protagonist Evelyn, played by Michelle Yeoh, we catch blink-and-you'll-miss-it
20:31flashes of seemingly hundreds of Evelyn's. And sneaked among them is a single-frame shot of
20:36Michelle Yeoh stood against a green screen, while the movie's VFX artist can be seen
20:41discussing 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
20:53is kept 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. However, despite
21:07going to great lengths to obscure it, her name actually does feature in the movie, albeit
21:12written down in a brief close-up. It's stamped on The Bride's boarding pass, revealing
21:17her name as Beatrix Kiddo. Director Quentin Tarantino actually extends this mystery into
21:22the second films, but for those scouring the fine details of that first flick, they'd already
21:26figured it out.
21:27The first shot spoils the movie's twist, Us. Much like his debut Get Out, Jordan Peele's
21:34Us is absolutely a movie that rewards viewers who pay attention, be it in the form of Easter
21:38eggs or visual gags which expand the movie's universe. And hilariously, observant viewers
21:44might notice that the spine of the film's plot is effectively spoiled in its very first
21:48shot, which focuses on a TV playing an ad for Hands Across America, with a VHS case of
21:53the 1984 cult classic horror film CHUD visible on the left-hand side.
22:00In its namesake, CHUD stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, and though Us's
22:06villainous tethered aren't ultimately revealed to be cannibals, they are underground dwellers
22:10who, much like in that other film, emerge above ground to terrorise well-to-do humans.
22:15The nod goes deeper than that, though, as Peele revealed in an interview that his first childhood
22:20girlfriend was none other than the daughter of Douglas Cheek, the director of CHUD. Incredible!
22:26Though the VHS is easily missed or even dismissed as merely a playful reference to a trashy classic,
22:32knowing how densely symbolic Get Out's visuals were, eagle-eyed audiences may well have put two
22:37and two together right from the jump. Meek's whiteboard spoils the entire film.
22:42Thor Love and Thunder
22:44Remember when Midsommar kicked off by showing a mural that not so cryptically revealed the plot
22:49of the entire movie? Well, Taika Waititi apparently thought that was a brilliant idea,
22:54because he just did the same thing in Thor Love and Thunder. Early on, we see a very dapper Meek
22:59standing
23:00by a whiteboard in New Asgard, and if you hit the pause button, the board is actually full of
23:05illustrations which basically show off the movie's entire narrative trajectory. The drawings clearly
23:11show Gorr getting Stormbreaker, Thor encountering Zeus, a fleet of children being imbued with Thor's
23:17powers, the appearance of Eternity, and even Jane Foster's demise. This shot comes and goes quickly
23:24enough that anybody watching the movie on the big screen had no time at all to make sense of it,
23:29but on streaming? Absolutely. The shot was also included in Love and Thunder's trailers,
23:34though, was given a sneaky edit to ensure that enterprising fans didn't deduce the whole story
23:39months in advance, instead 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
24:22is a show comes when the guards are searching for an allegedly missing patient. Though some are
24:27indeed pretending 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
24:37they know there 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
24:52are robbing a diner. But did you know that Tarantino actually hints at such during the
24:58iconic opening itself? While Pumpkin is talking about how much more sense it makes to rob a diner
25:03rather than a bank, you can faintly hear Jules having his famous moment of clarity dialogue in
25:08the background, and a few seconds later, Vincent can be seen walking to the toilet on Honey Bunny's
25:13left. Better still, the timing between the two versions of the scene matches up perfectly down to
25:18the very second. In a movie that already must have been an editing nightmare, this is insanely
25:23impressive. A man is laying next to Joy while she accuses Craig of cheating. Friday
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. As a mere
25:55screenshot, this is obviously too damn obvious to miss, and yet take a peek online and you'll find
26:01that loads of fans are only recently discovering it for the first time. Thor not being the firstborn,
26:06Avengers Age of Ultron. Thor's nightmare in Avengers Age of Ultron turned out to be a pretty iffy
26:12scene in the grand scheme of things, as while the prophecy of the end of Asgard did come into play,
26:17Thor Ragnarok's apocalyptic narrative didn't really reflect this scene. That said, it's still an
26:22important part of the franchise for one reason, it actually revealed that Thor wasn't Odin's first
26:27child. While interacting with the crazed Heimdall, Thor is referred to as the first
26:32son of Odin, rather than his firstborn or first child. While that could just be strange phrasing,
26:38it could also be a reference to the fact that while Thor was indeed Odin's first son,
26:42the 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.
26:51The first John Wick ends with the titular assassin breaking into an animal clinic and freeing a pit
26:56bull, taking it as his own pet and eventually naming it Good Dog in the sequel. But if you're not
27:01paying incredibly close attention, it's easy to miss the precise nature of what John is up to here,
27:06and many assumed on initial viewing that John might have just nicked somebody's beloved dog.
27:11It's only clearly visible on screen for maybe half a second, but Good Dog's case notes have a
27:16two-be-put-down stamp on the front.
