Also in The Usual Suspect's poster, it says "The Truth is Always in the Last Place You Look" and as your eyes pan from left to right over everyone, they eventually rest on Verbal, the true mastermind
Not to mention that Kevin Spacey turned up to be a villain in real life (or at least, that's how he is perceived now). That's a major meta foreshadowing-clue.
Why not mention one of the best and most subtle hints in Fight Club...after the car crash Edward Norton emerges from the driver side and not the passenger side.
The Blue Skies on Mars does *not* confirm anything. According to filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, *both* are true... It's both real, and a dream, at the same time.... “Total Recall doesn’t say whether it’s reality or it is a dream, you know? It’s really saying there’s this reality and there’s that reality, and both exist at the same time,” - Paul Verhoeven.
For the Shaun of the Dead one, you forgot the stumbling into the Winchester, which the characters had to do in order to get through a horde of zombies and into the Winchester
In the restaurant scene, you can see how Eddie does not trust that Mr. Orange is really who looks. Hence, when they are talking about Madonna's musical hits, Eddie asked Mr. Naranja: What's wrong? Do you not listen Madonna?
Psycho is my favorite film of all time, ever. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it. I've never, ever noticed that reference, and my mind is blown. I truly thank you. I'm literally giddy over this.
There's also a connection in Verbal Kint's surname to Keyser Söze as well. 'Keyser' is a Dutch name meaning 'Emperor' and, in Germanic, the word is 'Kaiser.' Kent is a variation of the name 'Kint' (when it comes to surnames) and, again in Germanic, the word 'Kent' translates to "acquainted with" so it's a hint that Verbal Kint is "acquainted with" Keyser Söze.
Reservoir Dogs: those aren't soap bottles. Those are bottles of embalming fluid. The warehouse is some kind of old mortuary or mortuary supply depot. Watch for the coffins in the background. I.e. they all die in the end.
There are many subtle clues that foreshadow in 'No Country For Old Men'. In the opening dialogue when Tommy Lee Jones is narrating, the visuals show 3 farmhouse windmills. The first 2 windmills shown change directions when the winds arise. The 3rd windmill has no tail, and therefore doesn't change positions when the wind blows. The first 2 windmills represent Ed Tom and Llewelen Moss. The 3rd represents Anton Chigurh because it never changes direction like the other two. It has one way. The other foreshadowing is when Moss is hunting deer. He hits the deer, but can't kill it and it gets away. This scene represents the fact that Moss hurts Chigurh in their street showdown, but can't kill him and he gets away. Chigurh leaves a trail of blood just like the wounded deer...
I remember seeing 'Lost boys' for the first time and when Max calls off his dog "Thorn" and I said "That's the head vampire." because Thorn is the name of a Fred Saberhagen novel about Dracula.
Another Edgar Wright movie (and the third Cornetto flick) The Worlds End actually does something similar. They list the 12 bars in the golden mile early on but what you realize on repeat viewings is that each bar name describes what's going to happen on the bar crawl from hell.
And Hot Fuzz, the second Cornetto movie, does it too, though it's more spread out rather than being all in one scene like the other two Cornetto movies.
LordRae Also if you look back at the flashback at the start. The films plot follows much of the flashback. Including the brawl at the Beehive and the deaths of other characters. Even when the younger versions pass out on the hill a meteor flying overhead shows the arrival of the Network to Earth.
Drunken Dragon do you know what's messed up lmao I took THC capsules for my back so I'm pretty high (I'm not a person who speaks about weed, no one really knows I smoke weed) anyway I digress lol I was reading your comment and I know Einhorn is German for Unicorn so when I read your comment while having a good body high and it was weird 'cause I read it as "Unicorn is German for unicorn, so her name is Lois unicorn" lmao took me a second to be like "shit that's not what it says at all, it starts with Einhorn, dammit" hahaha
How hard is it to put the movie title before the spoiler instead of after. I have no idea what movies you will show, so I have to watch every movie ever before risking seeing a spoiler here
So you have seen every movie that has ever been released before October 2012 (Skyfall release date)? Lucky you. I haven't seen every movie, so I had to skim along the bar to work out what will be shown before playing it to avoid spoiling anything that I hadn't seen. The majority of people on the planet haven't had the fortune of seeing everything ever released and therefore my comment is for them
kornfan2007 But no one made you watch this video. A video that blatantly says its about "hidden clues" in movies. And you expected this video to not have spoilers?
You can actually go further back than that in Reservoir Dogs. In the very first scene in the diner, Mr. Orange is the one who immediately rats out who didn't tip proving that he's the rat. In fact it can be argued that all of the characters' personalities and ultimate fates are predicted in that one scene
For Shaun of the Dead, I think it qualifies more as parallelism instead of foreshadowing. It's a running gag throughout the whole movie where the things that happened in his mundane life are repeated in the chaotic apocalypse. His two trips to the bodega, playing the FPS and shooting zombies at the bar, his date plan and rescue plan, winding up playing video games with a brain-dead friend, and more. This isn't foreshadowing. This is a form of thematic alliteration meant to highlight how stagnant Shaun's life is that even the zombie apocalypse can't disrupt it. When everybody else understands this (or dies) he is finally able to live life how he wants: sitting on the couch, in love with his gal, and playing video games with his mate. Most of the other ones are spot-on; some I never caught. Enjoyed it, thoroughly!
-James Franco and Seth Rogan reveal the ending to This is the End while plotting Pineapple Express 2. -Randy predicts everything in Scream ("the dad's a red herring, it's Billy.") -Cobb only has his wedding ring in dream scenes in Inception. For a split second, you can see his hand in the last scene and he is not wearing a ring!
Casablanca, when Louis lays it all out: I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds(tickets of transit)? Run off with a senator's wife(Ilsa)? I like to think you killed a man(Strausser). It's the Romantic in me. Rick: It was a combination of all three.
Wait what ? Soze doesn't mean "talks to much". In fact it's not actually a word. Söz means something like "word". It can also mean "saying", "expression" or "promise". That "e" at the end is the same thing with "to". It definetly doesn't mean talks too much.
If a clue in Turkish were intended, "sozde" would be better. That would mean "allegedly" and would indeed fit that theory. Perhaps that was the intention and it was misspelled?
In the film "Carlito's Way" the protagonist, Carlito Brigante tells in the first scene of the film what the ending will be like. As if that were not enough, Carlito's lover tells him that he "does not want to see how he dies at 3 in the morning in a hospital" and ironically in the final scene and although he is not in a hospital, I see how he dies when he is already at dawn. Sry my eng :(
Another great foreshadowing in Shaun of the Dead is when Shaun is talking to Ed as he plays a video game, and guides his shots. In the bar shooting sequence, it's the exact same directions.
Total Recall: actually the remark alone is NOT enough to confirm that it's all a dream. If you have an athmosphere you will have scattering, hence possibly blue skies! Overall Total Recall on purpose leave the ending open to interpretation or doubt. Perhaps Piers Anthony's novelization of the movie is 'canon', but the novel based on the movie was written much after. Ironically the movie itself is based on a Novel by Philip K. Dick... where what happens is NOT a dream.
That from Total Recall is nothing more than one of the many clues pointing in one direction, but it's not more definitive than any other clue in the movie.
How about how clementine's hair signifies where Joel and Clem's relationship stands in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. Green Spring They fall in love Red Summer height of passion Orange Fall on wobbly legs Blue Winter it's over
There were things put in that indicated in both directions. For one thing, a dream shouldn't have had any scenes without Quaid once he got the implant, or at least none that he couldn't see or hear.
arnold acted it as tho it was real but the director thought it was a dream. idk i watched something on the making of it. u gotta go with what the director was trying to portray
Yep psycho analyze Norman Bates and get that delightful Billy crystal to do it I bet the medication the doctor prescribes for Norman turns his in to a wobbly unpredictable monster still capable of killing just helping the doctor payoff his maserati right
The current story of "Total Recall" speaks of a dystopian future in which the protagonist is really sleeping, but that dream is slowly turning into a nightmare, when even his wife decides to kill him without mercy. The irony of all this is precisely that what the viewer is seeing at the beginning is the protagonist's dream and what happens on Mars is essentially the transition to awakening, which finally becomes reality. All this is based on my point of view, in which the character from the first scene "is dreaming" and dreams that he dies in an accidental fall. This is the sign that causes you to begin to realize things that are real and even to manifest them. If you look at the protagonist (whose name I do not remember now) he says at the beginning of the film that he has the feeling of having lived on Mars, but he has not even visited that "clinic" in which they reinplain the dream and when he goes to the clinic all fail because he really is not awake on the planet earth or who he thinks he is, although unconsciously he tries to adapt to that nightmare in which he is living at the beginning. From my point of view, which could be a mistake or not, the director really deceives the viewer, as happens in other films like Origin, Donnie Darko, Vanilla Sky, Eraser Head, etc. And I can only say: "Move your ass to Mars"
You guys couldn't have missed any harder on Total Recall if you tried. First, that's a horrible excuse for a "clue". Second, the memory technician and Rekall salesman have their argument about Quaid not being implanted yet AWAY from Quaid, so he couldn't logically incorporate that into his fantasy/memory. Meaning it's all real and Quaid over-wrote Hauser. That scene alone is the one thing the 2012 remake did better, because it made the memory implantation scene more ambiguous.
Eric R. Shelton obviously a screenwriter/director can significantly change a work when they adapt it, but it's pretty safe to say that PKD didn't expect/want it to be 100% certain what "really happened" in "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" - that's a major characteristic of his writing. Think about all the weird scenes with Mercer in DADES or the total mindfuckery of VALIS. It's not even about a "hidden" truth it Easter eggs hinting at the "real" story - rather, the ambiguity and uncertainty are the point themselves. PKD was more interested in the fundamental unknowability of reality than he was in shock twists.
Actually I realized that Verbal is Soze when he spoke about his experiences as a coffee bean picker....he claims that at the end of working days he and other pickers drank coffee made from freshly picked beans. Well, that´s not how it works, which I happen to knew, when I saw the movie. At that point in the movie I understood that most what Verbal´s says is probably lies and so I understood that he must be Soze...
Yup, especially the "drying part" makes it impossible to make coffee from freshly picked beans, as far as I remember, it takes a couple of days for the beans to dry.
Freshly picked doesn't necessarily mean instantly picked and brewed. your "freshly picked" grocery produce is probably at least week old.... likely more. You can brew coffee from beans you grew and still consider it very fresh. JUST saying.
I love Shaun of the Dead. Particularly the scene in which we see Ed playing Timesplitters 2, which he pauses to talk with Shaun. Sweet video game reference, fellas.
Hot Fuzz is also filled to the brim with such things. They go by so fast that after several viewing I'm still hearing about more. It's practically the entire first two-thirds of the movie.
You missed the best part about the Shaun of the Dead foreshadowing. The dude with the Cowboy boots in the pub. Ed says, the ladies are always all over him. Later on you seem him being eaten by a load of female zombies.
In Shaun Of The Dead they named their characters to rhyme with their fate: Ed=dead, liz=lives, Pete=gets eat, Yvonne=moves on, etc. Check the blu-ray’s trivia track.
I don't think that line in Total recall is a throwaway line. It's one of the reasons that the ending has been debated for so long. Just like the fade to white instead of black signifying waking from a dream, or the fact Rachel Ticotin's face is in the recall center when he's making choices. It's not as throwaway as Gorman's xenomorph line that has led to 30 years of idiots thinking that it is the name of the species of alien.
Vader means father in Dutch and isn’t far from the word in English, as the letters are all related. Almost 2 movies and no one got that. I’m just glad I was only 5 when I first saw Star Wars in the theater so, I am gonna claim youth as an excuse. Ahem... And Einhorn? Ein is 1 in German. One horn is a good nod. Fun stuff.
Good thing that were I'm from he was called "Lord Fener", so nothing was spoiled (Duch adapters should have changed his name too, not because they knew, obviously they didn't, but because a "Darth Father" is a ridiculous name for a character, especially a "badass" one like Darth Vader).
Shaolin Dave Maybe the "Vader" name was accidental, but then someone that knew Dutch pointed out to George Lucas the meaning of the word and he went along with it.
@@ShaolinDave I agree with you even though George Lucas has claimed this was the intention. According to an exhibition I saw recently in Sydney, Vader was shortened from Invader.
One more for the Usual Suspects. Verbal correctly identifies the language the ships' crew and protectors are speaking. Like anyone would randomly guess that.
Also in the beginning after Soze shoots that guy while he smokes, Soze lights his cigarette w/ his left hand. Then, the first scene where they introduce Verbal, it shows his limping left foot to start. Told me right away he was Soze.
In the Total Recall commentary, the director confirms that it is a dream. Another example of the movie telling you upfront is when Quade is listening to the Recall pitch from the salesman. The salesman tells us exactly what is going to happen in the movie.
i liked this entry because of the jurassic park reveal alone! i honestly, and shamefully, feel smarter for this. but victory, none the less! cheers from across the pond, gents!
Also, the thing with SOTD is that the protagonist's main problem is that he's stuck in a rut, always doing the same every day (which is the plan his mate talks about at the beginning) not being able to break the cycle. So much that even when everything around him does a 180 he sticks to his usual plan, which eventually leads him to break the cycle at the very end by revising his past mistakes on every step of the way. I think it's about how it's very hard to get out of your comfort zone or a vicious cycle (addictions, depression, etc.) if everything around you stays the same, how changing when the world just sits there can be traumatic but when all goes to shit you have no option to face yourself with brutal honesty and evolve to overcome your own set limitations.
"Blue sky on Mars" fits with either interpretation of the story, and there's nothing in the end to suggest Bobby's going to step out of the shower. Good ones with The Shining and Jurassic Park, though. And Sean of the Dead... you're right. Genius.
The biggest clue to M's death was the fact that Judy Dench reveled that she wasn't renewing her contract and at the time there we rumours of a major death. This one was so obvious.
I don't know if Total Recall was real or a dream, but what I can tell you is that it was a waste of 113 minutes. The only reason I can fathom that it gets as high a rating as it does is that it stared Schwarzenegger at the height of his popularity. I thought it was crap when it came out and I'm a huge sci-fi fan and at the time I was a huge Arnie fan as well.
Total Recall was NOT a dream - and I have no idea why there is so much debate about it. He kills his wife. Think about that. No one would put that in a dream/memory sequence, and surely, once he returned to earth, he might notice that she's alive (and know it was a planted memory and go get his money back) or she's dead (meaning it was not a dream).
To be fair, that's after the whole bit where they are supposedly trying to fix a problem with the implant. It's not like the idea was in the original program they were trying to install.
actually, blue skies are not uncommon on Mars - sunsets are usually blue, due to the way light scatters. So, you could say that this is not a clue at all! ...although, I don't think we had any photos of martian sunsets in 1988
At this point the dream is just manifesting his repressed fantasies. A bored, married man constructing a delusion in which his wife is not only a villain, but is already cheating on him with 'the heavy' so that he can kill her and get down and dirty with the love interest guilt free. It's not rocket science. As for him knowing its not a dream, that's not how recall is supposed to work. It works more like a video game- you know what you experienced wasn't real, but you have the experience. The only question up for debate is weather the recall is going as planned and the experience simply isn't over yet, or something is going wrong and his brain is being fried. Anyone who believes whats happening is real has to deliberately ignore so much evidence and coincidence its astounding.
keyser soze is a name which was made up for the movie. no turkish person has such a name except for an hardcore fan of the movie. the reference you made about the name was tried to made but not really successfully. the only word soze reminds in turkish is the word söz which means word. if it should mean verbal it could have been sözlü for example. still not your fault. what you showed was the intention behind the name which the moviemakers had. so even if you speak turkish it is not really a good hint. still a classic movie of the 90s.
i just looked it up and it seems that the writer got the name from an english to turkish dictionary. so it could be an old dictionary which had terms back from the ottoman empire but that's just a theory of mine. turkish is also a complex language that makes translating quite hard. Well sometimes.
It is not meant to be helpful, you seem to put Turkish on a pedastal when it's not special at all. It is no more difficult to translate than any other.
Craig S and you know that because you studied this language? i assume not. so your point is that you have none. i also assume that you are american because you seem not to know anything about any other language than english which is by the way not very hard since the whole world speaks it. or it could that i am totally wrong since i know nothing about you and so do you about me. i am kurdish by the way. have a nice day.
The seeming throwaway reveal line in Total Recall doesn't actually clarify the end of that movie. It's actually part of what added to the confusion and debate about whether it is real or just all in his head.
Shaun of the Dead also had the reference to shauns friend ending in the shed. When Shauns roommate screens at him for doing nothing and being loud "Why don't you go live in the shed"
If you're a movie buff, like Stanley Kubrick films, are a fan of "The Shining", or any combination of these, check out a documentary called "Room 237". It's about the making of "The Sining" and every small detail a bored genius director like Kubrick could pack into a horror movie that's about anything but a haunted hotel.
In the pre-credit sequence of 'THE TOMB OF LIGEIA", Verden Fell tells the irate preacher... "She is not dead... to me." He then says, "She will not die, because she WILLED it so." When you get to the END of the movie, these words come back to haunt you, and they were there right at the beginning!
Don't forget when Ed says "stagger back here"
They all do the fake zombie stagger at that point
Also in The Usual Suspect's poster, it says "The Truth is Always in the Last Place You Look" and as your eyes pan from left to right over everyone, they eventually rest on Verbal, the true mastermind
Not to mention that Kevin Spacey turned up to be a villain in real life (or at least, that's how he is perceived now). That's a major meta foreshadowing-clue.
Why not mention one of the best and most subtle hints in Fight Club...after the car crash Edward Norton emerges from the driver side and not the passenger side.
Brilliant
DudeMcAwesome well spotted. They also flash up an image of Brad Pitt early in the film before they meet on the plane
@@celticcc3658 Fucking both brilliant.
Never realised that ..... You the best
@@celticcc3658 Yes, but it doesn't have any meaning.
The Blue Skies on Mars does *not* confirm anything.

Daniel S "Little princess" as well
'Stagger'
for reservoir dogs you should have mentioned that at the breakfast when asked who didn't tip it's Mr orange who "tells on" Mr pink
Good one! I've seen that movie a dozen times, saw their reference already, but never thought of that nuance.
In the restaurant scene, you can see how Eddie does not trust that Mr. Orange is really who looks. Hence, when they are talking about Madonna's musical hits, Eddie asked Mr. Naranja: What's wrong? Do you not listen Madonna?
3:05 Also, Keyser Soze has the same initials of Kevin Spacey.
4:21 Also, "Ein horn" in German means "One horn".
They missed the "stagger back to the bar" part of the Shaun of the Dead movie. They pretend to be zombies in order to get back to the bar.

5:58 "When two females dinosaurs change sex". I'm no biologist, but I'm sure that wouldn't solve the problem.

Ohhhhhhh WOW I NEVER KNEW THAT. GENIUS.

Wait what ? Soze doesn't mean "talks to much". In fact it's not actually a word. Söz means something like "word". It can also mean "saying", "expression" or "promise". That "e" at the end is the same thing with "to". It definetly doesn't mean talks too much.
"sozlu" means verbal in turkish..it sounds a little like "soze"
So Söz + e would roughly translate as "to say" / "to express" Still a very verbal word.
If a clue in Turkish were intended, "sozde" would be better. That would mean "allegedly" and would indeed fit that theory. Perhaps that was the intention and it was misspelled?
It equates to 'saying' or expressing something...similar to the English word (to be) 'verbal'
Mr. Orange instantly ratting out Steve Buscemi that he didn't tip in the opening scene was also a big hint/foreshadow that he was the cop/rat.
Einhorn is Finkle? And Finkle is Einhorn? Einhorn is a man? OMG

The argument about tipping in the restaurant also foreshadows who ends up being the snitch in "Reservoir Dogs."

I usually watch these and find a mistake, but you're spot on. Wow, I never noticed most of these.

“Söz” actually means word and “söze” is genitive.

Ironically the movie itself is based on a Novel by Philip K. Dick... where what happens is NOT a dream.
Yeah there were clues to both realities being correct throughout most of the movie. That was the whole point.
It's not based on a novel, it's a Philip K. Dick short story called "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale".
That from Total Recall is nothing more than one of the many clues pointing in one direction, but it's not more definitive than any other clue in the movie.
Nice vid Benjy !
So there's no hidden clues from a movie by David Lynch, who is the master of this?
I remember Lynch included his own clues with Mulholland Drive DVD.
How about how clementine's hair signifies where Joel and Clem's relationship stands in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
Green Spring They fall in love
Red Summer height of passion
Orange Fall on wobbly legs
Blue Winter it's over
Also in Reservoir Dogs in the opening diner scene, when Joe asks who didn't chip in a buck for the tip it's Mr. Orange who "rat's" out Mr. Pink.
Brilliant work as always Benjamin
Total recall is not a dream!!!
That last one was actually quite good ;)
whatculture, good way to start the day
been waiting for this update for a while
4:23 You actually missed a much more obvious reference in Ace Ventura.
Einhorn is the German word for Unicorn...a reference to the penis.
I still dont believe that Total Recall is all dream...
It was. Deal with it.
There were things put in that indicated in both directions. For one thing, a dream shouldn't have had any scenes without Quaid once he got the implant, or at least none that he couldn't see or hear.
arnold acted it as tho it was real but the director thought it was a dream. idk i watched something on the making of it. u gotta go with what the director was trying to portray
Yep psycho analyze Norman Bates and get that delightful Billy crystal to do it I bet the medication the doctor prescribes for Norman turns his in to a wobbly unpredictable monster still capable of killing just helping the doctor payoff his maserati right
The current story of "Total Recall" speaks of a dystopian future in which the protagonist is really sleeping, but that dream is slowly turning into a nightmare, when even his wife decides to kill him without mercy. The irony of all this is precisely that what the viewer is seeing at the beginning is the protagonist's dream and what happens on Mars is essentially the transition to awakening, which finally becomes reality. All this is based on my point of view, in which the character from the first scene "is dreaming" and dreams that he dies in an accidental fall. This is the sign that causes you to begin to realize things that are real and even to manifest them. If you look at the protagonist (whose name I do not remember now) he says at the beginning of the film that he has the feeling of having lived on Mars, but he has not even visited that "clinic" in which they reinplain the dream and when he goes to the clinic all fail because he really is not awake on the planet earth or who he thinks he is, although unconsciously he tries to adapt to that nightmare in which he is living at the beginning.
From my point of view, which could be a mistake or not, the director really deceives the viewer, as happens in other films like Origin, Donnie Darko, Vanilla Sky, Eraser Head, etc.
And I can only say: "Move your ass to Mars"
In The Interview it shows them planning how it will go, and proceeds to follow that plan lol good video!
The total recall blue sky on Mars kinda blew my mind. Nice find.
You guys couldn't have missed any harder on Total Recall if you tried. First, that's a horrible excuse for a "clue". Second, the memory technician and Rekall salesman have their argument about Quaid not being implanted yet AWAY from Quaid, so he couldn't logically incorporate that into his fantasy/memory. Meaning it's all real and Quaid over-wrote Hauser. That scene alone is the one thing the 2012 remake did better, because it made the memory implantation scene more ambiguous.
Eric R. Shelton obviously a screenwriter/director can significantly change a work when they adapt it, but it's pretty safe to say that PKD didn't expect/want it to be 100% certain what "really happened" in "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" - that's a major characteristic of his writing. Think about all the weird scenes with Mercer in DADES or the total mindfuckery of VALIS. It's not even about a "hidden" truth it Easter eggs hinting at the "real" story - rather, the ambiguity and uncertainty are the point themselves. PKD was more interested in the fundamental unknowability of reality than he was in shock twists.
#1 just blew my mind Ben! I love all the hidden things he does in this movie and Hot Fuzz
Actually I realized that Verbal is Soze when he spoke about his experiences as a coffee bean picker....he claims that at the end of working days he and other pickers drank coffee made from freshly picked beans. Well, that´s not how it works, which I happen to knew, when I saw the movie. At that point in the movie I understood that most what Verbal´s says is probably lies and so I understood that he must be Soze...
NKA23 I hope you are working on the cure for cancer cause I would never think about that
Thanks, unfortunately I missed the chance to become a medical scientist. I am just a freelancing stage actor. Maybe next time around. ^^
NKA23 or he has the same deal on his hands they can't leave out In the mysterious attacker no cocaine on the boat
Yup, especially the "drying part" makes it impossible to make coffee from freshly picked beans, as far as I remember, it takes a couple of days for the beans to dry.
Freshly picked doesn't necessarily mean instantly picked and brewed. your "freshly picked" grocery produce is probably at least week old.... likely more. You can brew coffee from beans you grew and still consider it very fresh. JUST saying.
The bear and the dead person don't lay on the same spot in the shining. It is a good metre (3 feet) a part.
I love Shaun of the Dead. Particularly the scene in which we see Ed playing Timesplitters 2, which he pauses to talk with Shaun. Sweet video game reference, fellas.
Hot Fuzz is also filled to the brim with such things. They go by so fast that after several viewing I'm still hearing about more. It's practically the entire first two-thirds of the movie.
RE Usual Suspects: Also Keyser Soze shares the same initials as Kevin Spacey. When you think about it, it's actually a double dead give away.
How so?
Number 1 whats more skilled the idea to put it in, or Ben's ability to decode it?
These are some of cinemas greatest moments imho. Hidden secrets that on a 2nd look through are obvious
I disagree about Total Recall but that's me
You missed the best part about the Shaun of the Dead foreshadowing. The dude with the Cowboy boots in the pub. Ed says, the ladies are always all over him. Later on you seem him being eaten by a load of female zombies.
I’ve watched the shining countless times and never put the teddy bear scene together. Cheers!
In Shaun Of The Dead they named their characters to rhyme with their fate: Ed=dead, liz=lives, Pete=gets eat, Yvonne=moves on, etc. Check the blu-ray’s trivia track.
I didn't know any of these. That last one though, brilliant!
I don't think that line in Total recall is a throwaway line. It's one of the reasons that the ending has been debated for so long. Just like the fade to white instead of black signifying waking from a dream, or the fact Rachel Ticotin's face is in the recall center when he's making choices.
It's not as throwaway as Gorman's xenomorph line that has led to 30 years of idiots thinking that it is the name of the species of alien.
Vader means father in Dutch and isn’t far from the word in English, as the letters are all related. Almost 2 movies and no one got that. I’m just glad I was only 5 when I first saw Star Wars in the theater so, I am gonna claim youth as an excuse. Ahem...
And Einhorn? Ein is 1 in German. One horn is a good nod. Fun stuff.
Damn the Jurassic Park scene is freaking brilliant.
Good thing that were I'm from he was called "Lord Fener", so nothing was spoiled (Duch adapters should have changed his name too, not because they knew, obviously they didn't, but because a "Darth Father" is a ridiculous name for a character, especially a "badass" one like Darth Vader).
Shaolin Dave Maybe the "Vader" name was accidental, but then someone that knew Dutch pointed out to George Lucas the meaning of the word and he went along with it.
@@ShaolinDave I agree with you even though George Lucas has claimed this was the intention. According to an exhibition I saw recently in Sydney, Vader was shortened from Invader.
One more for the Usual Suspects. Verbal correctly identifies the language the ships' crew and protectors are speaking. Like anyone would randomly guess that.
Also in the beginning after Soze shoots that guy while he smokes, Soze lights his cigarette w/ his left hand. Then, the first scene where they introduce Verbal, it shows his limping left foot to start. Told me right away he was Soze.
In the Total Recall commentary, the director confirms that it is a dream. Another example of the movie telling you upfront is when Quade is listening to the Recall pitch from the salesman. The salesman tells us exactly what is going to happen in the movie.
Also in Resevior Dogs, during the scene in the coffee shop, Mr. Orange rats on Mr Pink not pitching in for the tip
i liked this entry because of the jurassic park reveal alone! i honestly, and shamefully, feel smarter for this. but victory, none the less! cheers from across the pond, gents!
Also, the thing with SOTD is that the protagonist's main problem is that he's stuck in a rut, always doing the same every day (which is the plan his mate talks about at the beginning) not being able to break the cycle. So much that even when everything around him does a 180 he sticks to his usual plan, which eventually leads him to break the cycle at the very end by revising his past mistakes on every step of the way. I think it's about how it's very hard to get out of your comfort zone or a vicious cycle (addictions, depression, etc.) if everything around you stays the same, how changing when the world just sits there can be traumatic but when all goes to shit you have no option to face yourself with brutal honesty and evolve to overcome your own set limitations.
for the usual suspects you can also tell it was Verbal, because of the movies title picture. look at the shadows.
Always loved the Jurassic Park one, never knew the others!
Great, seen a ton of videos like this. This guy actually had ones I never heard of, nearly all of them.
I think the Jurasic park seat belt scene has been a tad overthought.
That Shaun of the Dead clue was brilliant
THE ACE VENTURA ONE THOUGH OH MY GOOOOOODDDDDDDD
"Blue sky on Mars" fits with either interpretation of the story, and there's nothing in the end to suggest Bobby's going to step out of the shower. Good ones with The Shining and Jurassic Park, though. And Sean of the Dead... you're right. Genius.
another language based clue is in Star Wars.
don't know if it was done on purpose, but "Vader" actually means "Father" in Dutch
"Vader" is simply a play on the word "Invader". All Sith Lords are named in a similar fashion
Jurrasic Park hint was just amazing 👍
read the short story "we can remember it for you wholesale" and total recall will make a lot more sense
The biggest clue to M's death was the fact that Judy Dench reveled that she wasn't renewing her contract and at the time there we rumours of a major death. This one was so obvious.
I don't know if Total Recall was real or a dream, but what I can tell you is that it was a waste of 113 minutes. The only reason I can fathom that it gets as high a rating as it does is that it stared Schwarzenegger at the height of his popularity. I thought it was crap when it came out and I'm a huge sci-fi fan and at the time I was a huge Arnie fan as well.
love it, brilliant!
cool, some fascinating observations there!
Also in Total Recall, the director states that the dream starts soon as Douglas sits in the 'dream chair'
Total Recall was NOT a dream - and I have no idea why there is so much debate about it. He kills his wife. Think about that. No one would put that in a dream/memory sequence, and surely, once he returned to earth, he might notice that she's alive (and know it was a planted memory and go get his money back) or she's dead (meaning it was not a dream).
To be fair, that's after the whole bit where they are supposedly trying to fix a problem with the implant. It's not like the idea was in the original program they were trying to install.
You haven't a clue
It’s both a dream and real simultaneously as it was supposed to be
actually, blue skies are not uncommon on Mars - sunsets are usually blue, due to the way light scatters. So, you could say that this is not a clue at all!
...although, I don't think we had any photos of martian sunsets in 1988
At this point the dream is just manifesting his repressed fantasies. A bored, married man constructing a delusion in which his wife is not only a villain, but is already cheating on him with 'the heavy' so that he can kill her and get down and dirty with the love interest guilt free. It's not rocket science.
As for him knowing its not a dream, that's not how recall is supposed to work. It works more like a video game- you know what you experienced wasn't real, but you have the experience.
The only question up for debate is weather the recall is going as planned and the experience simply isn't over yet, or something is going wrong and his brain is being fried.
Anyone who believes whats happening is real has to deliberately ignore so much evidence and coincidence its astounding.
keyser soze is a name which was made up for the movie. no turkish person has such a name except for an hardcore fan of the movie. the reference you made about the name was tried to made but not really successfully. the only word soze reminds in turkish is the word söz which means word. if it should mean verbal it could have been sözlü for example. still not your fault. what you showed was the intention behind the name which the moviemakers had. so even if you speak turkish it is not really a good hint. still a classic movie of the 90s.
i just looked it up and it seems that the writer got the name from an english to turkish dictionary. so it could be an old dictionary which had terms back from the ottoman empire but that's just a theory of mine. turkish is also a complex language that makes translating quite hard. Well sometimes.
EVERY language is complex.
Craig S thank you for your comment. was really not helpful.
It is not meant to be helpful, you seem to put Turkish on a pedastal when it's not special at all. It is no more difficult to translate than any other.
Craig S and you know that because you studied this language? i assume not. so your point is that you have none. i also assume that you are american because you seem not to know anything about any other language than english which is by the way not very hard since the whole world speaks it. or it could that i am totally wrong since i know nothing about you and so do you about me. i am kurdish by the way. have a nice day.
Two apples and a banana. Reginald Perrin.
The seeming throwaway reveal line in Total Recall doesn't actually clarify the end of that movie. It's actually part of what added to the confusion and debate about whether it is real or just all in his head.
Glad Shaun of the dead was #1, a great small piece of foreshadowing
The stagger back to the bar for shots is a reference to them having to mimic zombies
Shaun of the Dead also had the reference to shauns friend ending in the shed. When Shauns roommate screens at him for doing nothing and being loud "Why don't you go live in the shed"
What, no Fight Club? How many hidden clues are there in that 15? 20?
Ben = Best man from Whatculture. No one can tell me otherwise.
If you're a movie buff, like Stanley Kubrick films, are a fan of "The Shining", or any combination of these, check out a documentary called "Room 237". It's about the making of "The Sining" and every small detail a bored genius director like Kubrick could pack into a horror movie that's about anything but a haunted hotel.
In the pre-credit sequence of 'THE TOMB OF LIGEIA", Verden Fell tells the irate preacher... "She is not dead... to me." He then says, "She will not die, because she WILLED it so."
When you get to the END of the movie, these words come back to haunt you, and they were there right at the beginning!
That's a lot of awesome details but I have to say the one from Jurassic Park is the best.
