HIDDEN THINGS FOUND IN SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE FILMS

X MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

When Wolverine is on the island and he gets to the caged

mutants, the scene shows one tied up and moving very fast.

In case you noticed or wondered, that mutant was Quicksilver.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

In the opening sequence, which is repeated later in the film,

Keyser Soze shoots Dean Keaton before dropping his cigarette

butt into a pool of oil, igniting an explosion aboard the Tanager.

At the end of the film we are shocked to discover Keyser Soze

is the poor, innocent-looking Verbal (Kevin Spacey), but the hand

seen dropping the cigarette butt wasn’t his but that of the film’s

director, Bryan Singer, as the scene was shot in his backyard.

TRON: LEGACY

Do you remember the two DJs in this movie? Well, in case you’ve

speculated about it, you were right: these DJs are actually Daft Punk,

who composed the top-selling soundtrack to the film.

TRANSFORMERS

In the final battle of the movie, after Bumblebee loses his legs,

look at the tow truck Mikaela Banes starts to hot-wire.

The truck is actually Longarm from the video game.

THE DOORS

During one of the opening scenes a young Jim Morrison is

hitchhiking. Just after a car stops and he picks up his bag to get in,

the camera pans across the ground to a lizard that whispers

“Morrison.” You can hear the whisper again in the cave after

the peyote scene in the desert.

TAXI DRIVER

At the end of the movie, Travis has pasted newspaper clippings

of articles about him and Iris, the prostitute he saves, on his walls.

One of the articles has a picture of Iris’s parents. The picture is

actually a picture of Scorsese’s parents.

THE GOONIES

At the end of this beautiful ’80’s film, all the Goonies reunite with

their families. This scene was an awesome way to see the actors’

true family members. Each actor reunites with his real parents

and sometimes even siblings, well except for Josh Brolin and

Sean Austin, who had actors portraying their mother and father.

THE EXORCIST

William Friedkin, the film’s director, purposefully put many moments

of “subliminal direction” in the movie. All of which can be seen if

you pay attention. They flash by very fast but not too fast to pick up.

Keep in mind, however, that according to Friedkin the “subliminal”

effects were not really subliminal, just quick disturbing images to

add more horror to this already disturbing film.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

In the beginning of the movie when the dude is buying milk at

Ralph’s he makes out the check for September 11^th, 1991, then

glances up and sees George Bush Sr. on the TV talking about

invading Iraq, saying “This aggression will not stand.”

Astonishing coincidence?
