The Four Hobbit Actors From Lord Of The Rings (2003) All Confirmed On Podcasts That An Orc Leader's Look Was Based On Harvey Weinstein, After He Wanted Miramax To Cut The Trilogy Down To One Film (And All That Other Stuff) Before A Deal Was Made And New Line Cinema Rescued The Epic Saga
In Encanto (2021), The Multicoloured Water Was Inspired By A Real Place In Colombia...the Caño Cristales River. The River Is Commonly Called The "River Of Five Colors" Or The "Liquid Rainbow," And Is Noted For Its Striking Colors
To get to know more about the significance of hidden details and Easter eggs in movies, we reached out to Michael W. Boyce, Ph.D., writer, educator, administrator and host of the podcast, Geek 4.
As it is written on his website, Dr. Michael Boyce has taught a wide selection of literature and film courses, including Film History, British Film, Religion and Popular Culture, Fantasy Literature, and Television Studies, Film Adaptation, Film Noir and Film Genre. He writes, speaks, and tweets about literature, film, media, TV, comics, and multiple aspects of popular culture.
In Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) You Can See That Dobby The House Elf Became A Model For Gucci After The Harry Potter Series Wrapped
In The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), You Can See Velma From Scooby-Doo In The Crowd. When Asked Why The Other Members Of The Gang Weren’t Included, The Director Said "In A Post-Apocalyptic World, Velma Would Have Been The Only One To Have Survived. The Other Kids Wouldn’t Have Made It"
In The Mummy (1999), Brendan Fraser’s Character Is Shown Loading Individual Rounds Into His Rifle, In Spite Of Its 8 Round Capacity. This Is Consistent With French Military Training, As The Lebel 1886 Was Equipped With A Magazine Cutoff; So That Soldiers Could Hold Rounds "In Reserve"
Firstly, we wanted to know what value Easter eggs add to a movie. Boyce thinks it’s a matter of rewarding fans of these films for spotting something – usually visual references to other works – that other people don’t notice. "This is especially true with large-budget superhero films with highly invested and passionate fandoms who will pay to see a film multiple times to spot as many of these Easter eggs as possible. Many people enjoy that kind of secret knowledge, whether to feel like they’re a better audience member for noticing the minutia of a scene or that they’re a more avid fan of a film than the average filmgoer."
In Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), The Poolside Bartender Is Played By An Actor Credited Under The Nickname Dr. Toad, But His Real Name Was Robert Todd Williams, And He Was Robin Williams’ Older Brother. A Vintner By Trade In Real-Life, This Was His Only Film Appearance
In Forrest Gump (1994), Because Forrest Is So Fast, Nobody Can Tackle Him, Making Him The Only Player On Either Team To Have A Spotless Uniform
In Frozen/Frozen 2 (2013/2019), The Only Time Olaf Bends His Elbows Is During His Own Dreams/Fantasy (See: “In Summer”). Otherwise, His Arms Are Always Straight, As Real Twigs Would Be
Due to the trickiness of Easter eggs, sometimes it's hard to rule out their authenticity. Boyce told us that most generally accepted eggs have a number of people agree that it is indeed an Easter egg. "That typically means the more obvious ones (i.e. the Star Wars references found in the early Indiana Jones or a blue Tobias Funke in Guardians of the Galaxy), more often than not, modern filmmakers are more than happy to confirm them. If the reference seems obscure – a shot that looks a little like a shot from another movie – you could always consider whether the filmmaker has claimed to love that other film and has a history of including such Easter eggs."

But why do filmmakers hide some details that are not necessarily contributing to the plot? Dr. Boyce explained that many modern filmmakers are passionate fans themselves and are the sort of moviegoers that like searching out Easter eggs. "They grew up as rapid consumers of popular culture and their work reflects that love. Also, do it, it seems, to directly appeal to those fans, fans who would be willing to pay for multiple trips to the theatre and (sometimes various versions of) collector’s edition DVDs and Blu-rays."

I LOVE that they put that in the movie. It's a bit of trivia I'd read previously about Dolph Lundgren (the Chemical Engineering) - and I was just like "Really? Someone got waaaay more than their fair share of awesome points."
Lastly, Boyce shared that superhero films seem to have an abundance of Easter eggs and probably the most Easter eggs on average right now, in part because of the passion of the fan base and the wealth of material to reference (comics, television adaptation, previous film versions)."

In Birds Of Prey (2020), Harley Owns A Stuffed Beaver. This Is A Reference To The 2014 Harley Quinn Comic, Where She Owned A Similar Beaver Named Bernie

In Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Tom Hardy Wears A Mumford Phys. Ed. Dept. Shirt And A Detroit Lions Jacket As A Tribute To Eddie Murphy's Character In Beverley Hills Cop (1984) Because He Is A Big Fan Of Axel Foley And The Franchise
Aww that's so cool. I'm such a fan of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise also. The first two movies are excellent.

I just really miss the captain in the third one, it makes a difference that he wasn't in the movie.

This Is A Direct Quote From Agatha Christie, The Writer Of The Novels, Who After 40 Years Of Writing Had Grown To Dislike The Character
Christie did write him that way though. He does come off as incredibly pompous and his arrogance is overwhelming on occasions but he's always right. At times I do like that about David Suchet's Poirot, especially when he's confronting the villains that think they're more intelligent than he is.

An actually good Encanto detail: In “Waiting on a Miracle”, Mirabel sings that she’d move mountains, make new trees and flowers grow, she’d heal what’s broken, and show her family something new. She moved mountains literally and figuratively when her argument made the mountains crack and when Abuela realized she was pushing everyone too hard. She made new plants grow when she helped Isabela find what else she could do. She healed what was broken when she fixed her relationship with Abuela, Abuela relationship with the family, and Bruno’s relationship with the family. And lastly, she showed her family that they could live in a way that made their powers a blessing and not a burden.

For all those gamers out there, in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, a meme called Sanic is shown when the only townsperson who has seen Sonic tries to tell people what he looks like by drawing him. Loved the many game references in that movie.
And for those who really want to mess their brains up..In Godzilla (2014) Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen play husband and wife Ford Brody and Elle Brody....But in Avengers: Age of Ultron, they are brother and sister Pietro Maximoff and Wanda Maximoff.
Also, at the end of the credits for the first Avengers movie, you will see all the Avengers sitting in the Shawarma restaurant eating. All except Captain America who appears to be so tired as to be holding his face in his hands..when in reality...Chris Evans is covering up the beard that he had during his filming of Snowpiercer.

In Back to the Future Marty finds himself speeding through a farm after hitting 88mph in the Twin Pines Mall parking lot. In 1955 he runs over 1 of 2 pine trees before crashing into the farmers barn. When back in 1985, it is now Line Pine Mall. One of many callbacks in the series.
