HIDDEN THINGS TO FIND IN SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE FILMS

Added on: 14th Jul 2016

 

BACK TO THE FUTURE

16 gamesradar

When Marty crashes into the 1950’s, he ploughs into a family

farmhouse. The irate farmer refers to his son as Sherman,

before the mailbox he shoots reveals his name to be

Peabody. Sherman and Peabody are a cartoon double-act

with access to a time machine. It’s a knowing salute

to a pair of fellow time travellers.

 

 

SUPERMAN RETURNS

15 wikia

In a scene fairly early on, Superman saves a woman in a car

after the brakes have been cut. Only a few moments later,

Perry White shows two pictures of the event to Jimmy and

Lois. The picture of Superman holding up the car is based

on the cover of Action Comics 1, in which Superman first

appeared. This might be painfully obvious to fans of the

Superman comics, but this doesn’t necessarily apply

to many fans of the Superman movies.

 

 

SUPER 8

14 hoodedutilitarian

In this J. J. Abrams sci-fi flick the air force’s plan to catch the

alien is called Operation: Walking Distance. “Walking Distance”

was the name of a popular episode of The Twilight Zone and

dealt with a man who returns to his hometown to find that

literally nothing has changed.

 

 

STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE

13 wikia

If you pay attention, you can spot a Jedi by the name of Quinlan Vos

eating near where Sebulba was eating before Jar Jar’s antics

got him in trouble. Just before Anakin comes into the frame

for the first time in the scene, you can see Quinlan’s face.

You might want to play it in slow motion, though, as he’s

quickly covered by Anakin. Quinlan Vos is the man with the

yellow stripe going horizontally across his nose. You can

even visit the movie set where this was shot if you’re really

interested in reliving the magic of Star Wars.

 

 

STAR WARS EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

12 metro.co.uk

During the scene where Luke enters Cloud City and runs into

the guards escorting his friends away and Leia yells, “Luke don’t,

it’s a trap,” the guard who uses her as a human shield is

Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett). The actor who was originally cast

to play the guard didn’t show up for filming that day, so they

had Bulloch fill in for him. So if any of you have ever wondered

who the man behind Fett’s mask is, now you know.

 

 

STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH

11 ilmfan

On the first disc, the one with the movie, at the main menu,

you can press Shuffle on your remote (but pay attention here

because not all remotes have this feature), and a video of

some Star Wars characters will appear, mainly Yoda, and they

will start to dance.

 

 

SPIDERMAN 2

10 johnevenden

In the scene where Dr. Octavius is first putting on his

mechanical tentacles, there is a slightly altered version

of the music from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Sam Raimi used

this music because of the power and beauty of the notes

and because he was friends with the composer. Not only

is the music there, but in some scenes, Doc Ock is in a

very similar pose, held by his tentacles, to that of Dr. Channard

(held by his fleshy, disturbingly shaped claw), the crazed

doctor from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. This can best be seen

when Doc Ock screams “NOOOOO!” in the warehouse

where he later builds the new sun.

 

 

ROBOCOP

9 craveonline

When Robocop is first booted up and turned on in the film a

series of hexadecimal numbers appear at the bottom of the

screen. If you convert the numbers into ASCII it spells

“Ed Solomon”, one of the film’s producers.
