Hidden secrets in your favorite movies

The Lord of the Rings

There are many details in our favorite films that you can only notice when you watch them carefully. For example, in The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf wears together the two most significant items in his life - the staff and the pipe. In this article you will find 15 more of the same interesting facts about cult films. The fine folks at King Billy simply love movies and share this love with you.

Meet the Fockers

The creators of the Meet the Fockers comedy had to prove to the American Film Company Association that there really was a person with the same surname (Focker), otherwise the film would not have been released due to consonance with an obscene word.

The Shawshank Redemption

Young Red on the photo in the movie The Shawshank Redemption is the son of Morgan Freeman, Alfonso.

While working on the film Guardians of the Galaxy, the requisites had four months to find a Sony Walkman cassette player with original orange MDR-3L2 headphones, which the protagonist never parted with.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

In the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, many figurines are real mentally ill

Red Sparrow

Spectators of the film Red Sparrow had a serious discussion on Twitter about whether it is possible to get a loan for the main character. If in the film about Jason Bourne instead of a surname and a name we see just a set of Russian letters, then in Red Sparrow the passport is quite realistic. But you cannot be given a credit for it anyway: there is one digit more in the number and other data do not correspond to reality.

Sherlock

In the 3rd season of the Sherlock series, the couple appear. Parents of Sherlock and Mycroft. Their real parents are playing Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Thing

Scientists at the South Pole tweeted about a strange tradition: every February, when the polar winter begins and scientists are cut off from the whole world until November (the weather deteriorates so much that planes cannot fly), they arrange to watch all the films. According to the plot of the film, something terrible happens at the Antarctic base during bad weather.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Attentive fans noticed that in the films Avengers: Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok Thor wears a lock of Loki woven into his hair. Why - it is unknown, but one of the theories says that at that moment Thor thinks that his brother is dead, this lock is a kind of tribute to Loki's memory.

Inception

The duration of the film Beginning (2 hours 28 minutes), also known as Inception, is a reference to the Edith Piaf song “Non, je ne regrette rien,” whose first studio recording lasted 2 minutes 28 seconds. It is this song that helps the heroes get out of sleep. And if you add the first letters of the names of the main characters - Dom, Robert, Eames, Arthur / Ariadne, Mal, Sato - you get the word Dreams.

A Quiet Place

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who played a married couple in the movie A Quiet Place, are married in real life.

Fight Club

During the filming of the movie Fight Club, Helena Bonham Carter asked the make-up artist to do her makeup with her left hand, because her heroine would never spend her time on a neat make-up.

Game of Thrones

The actor of the role of John Snow - Kit Harrington once admitted in an interview that his great-great-grandfather had invented the flush toilet.

WALL-E

The development of Eva's robot from the WALL-E cartoon was done by Jonathan Ive, a designer who gave the world an iPod, iMac, iPhone.

Snatch

Ed, who played Tyrone, came to the Big Jackpot, also known as Snatch, to get a job as a security guard. But Guy Ritchie saw him and offered a role in the film.
