HIDDEN STUFF TO FIND IN SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE FILMS

RESERVOIR DOGS

Next time you see this movie try to focus on the scene

where Mr. Pink is describing how he got away from the

cops near the beginning. As he’s running from them, the

famous Wilhelm scream sound effect can be heard by

someone as Mr. Pink shoves him out of the way. The

Wilhelm scream is used in a lot of other films. It’s often

put in as a joke by the sound people.

GREMLINS

Shortly before the eggs hatch the protagonist’s dad calls

from the convention while his mom’s making Christmas treats.

Take a good look behind the dad: there’s a large machine in

the background with several gadgets moving on it, right?

When the scene cuts back to the mom and then back to the

dad, the machine is gone. What happened to the machine

we don’t know, but what we do know is that the machine

was from the movie The Time Machine.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL

During the scene where everyone’s out for Halloween, while

Looking through the eyes of E.T. you can see a lady whom his

eyes seem to follow. It’s a woman in a monster mask carrying

a poodle. In case you ever wondered what the big deal is about

this scene and a woman you never see again, keep in mind

this woman is Debra Winger, the voice of E.T.

BLADE: TRINITY

During the scene where Blade is being told about how Dracula

is being revived by the vampires, Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds)

shows Blade a copy of the comic book The Tomb of Dracula.

This is the comic where the character Blade was originally

introduced.

BEDAZZLED

During the scene of this hilarious comedy where

Brendan Frazer has changed into a super sensitive guy

and tries to kiss his dream girl Alison, he gets

interrupted by Elizabeth Hurley with her two Dobermans

that she calls back by their names, Peter and Dudley.

In case you didn’t know, this was a reference to the

stars and screenwriters of the original Bedazzled,

Dudley Moore and Peter Cook.

APOLLO 13

Jim Lovell, the astronaut portrayed by Tom Hanks,

makes a cameo at the end of the film when the

astronauts are retrieved from their capsule and brought

safely aboard the ship. He was asked by Ron Howard to

wear the uniform of a US Navy admiral for his appearance

but Lovell said that he would prefer to play the role in his

old captain’s uniform because that was the rank he held

when he retired from the navy. Hence the “admiral” listed

in the film’s credits is only wearing the four bars of a

captain on his shoulder boards.

ALIEN

When entering the alien vessel, looking for the source of

the SOS signal, the Nostromo’s crew comes face to face

with the remains of the vessel’s alien navigator still

sitting in its chair. In one take, the crew is dwarfed by

its size. The actors used in this scene are actually

children (Ridley Scott’s), dressed up as astronauts.

By doing so Scott could make the set look larger than life.

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY

By the end of the movie, in the factory, two Sarah Connors

can be seen in the same take: the “real” Sarah and the

T-1000 disguised as Sarah (confusing her son as to who is

his real mother). The fake Sarah is actually Linda Hamilton’s

real life twin in her first and only film role. In this case,

no special effects or stand in were necessary.
