This Online Community Is Uncovering Fascinating Movie Details, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones (New Pics)
Everyone loves a good movie, but sometimes it's not until we rewatch a production again and again, and see all the little details that went into making it, that we can really appreciate the film. Some of us, however, don't have the time nor the knowledge of how to gather Easter eggs and dig out trivia. Luckily, there's an online community dedicated entirely to that.
Appropriately titled r/MovieDetails, the subreddit is relatively young—it was created in June 2017. But the content on it is so good, over 2 million people have already joined it. Bored Panda covered it about half a year ago, but the subreddit deserves all the attention it can get, so we just have to release an update. From Men in Black to Inglourious Basterds, here are some of the most popular discoveries movie detectives have recently uncovered. For more, you will have to join r/MovieDetails!

In Maleficent (2014), The Young Aurora Was Played By Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Vivienne. The 5-Year-Old Got The Part Because She Was The Only Child Who Wasn’t Terrified Of Jolie In Her Maleficent Makeup. Several Other Younger Children Auditioned And Wouldn’t Go Near Her
Hahaha... makes sense, your mom is your mom even if she looks like the devil or a witch
Same with baby in Labyrinth. Was a puppeteer's child who was used the being surrounded by his dad's creations. Was too scary for all the other kids who were auditioned. .
Also fun fact: when she touches her horns she was rly just trying to get her mom's attention
Hahaha...well, it makes sense, your mom is your mom even if she's dressed like a witch.
Cool, the first one isn’t even a movie detail. That’s a behind the scenes thing.
Of course...she only got the part because the other kids were scared....yeah right!
Ah, don't be sad. Most kids that are out on a stage like that don't want to be there anyway. It's the parents and that's worse than a tiny part for a kid that just gets to hang out with her mom because mom is a famous actor.

Reddit user Niiue, one of the moderators of r/MovieDetails, thinks the subreddit has become so popular because it just has a really neat premise. "People like hearing about these types of small details in movies, and there wasn't really a subreddit for that before. In the words of a famous misquote... 'If you build it, they will come," they told Bored Panda.
There are 6 types of posts people share on the subreddit: Easter Egg, Prop/Costume, Trivia, Continuity, Foreshadowing, and Actor Choice. Although there isn't an easy way to calculate how many posts belong to these categories, Niiue believes Trivia posts are definitely the most popular, with Easter eggs as a close second. "In my experience, those types of details are also the most common."
In Kingpin (1996) Bill Murray Plays The Infamous Pro-Bowler Ernie Mccracken. In Addition To Improvising Nearly All Of His Lines, Murray Actually Bowled Three Strikes In A Row On Camera To A Live Audience In One Take. Their Thunderous Applause Was Real
One of their colleagues, who remained anonymous, had similar thoughts. "In my opinion, the most popular posts are Easter Eggs. It's easily the most well-known type of detail. On our subreddit, we have a list of 'common reposts' and most of them are easter eggs," they said. "Trivia posts are the second most popular. Although, it depends on the popularity of the movie/actor that the post is about. For instance, we get a lot of posts about comedians such as Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler going off script and improvising some of the more hilarious moments in their movies."
Both moderators think that all of these details, however, only enrich a movie, as noticing them brings so much satisfaction when you're watching them. "It shows the dedication and affection that the director and film crew have for their craft," Niiue's colleague said. "It also feels like they're rewarding the audience for being perceptive."

Watching Deadpool 2 (2018) And Noticed A Certain Supreme Court Justice’s Headshot In The Squad Interview Scene. None Other Than Ruth Bader Ginsburg In Consideration For A Spot On X-Force
A bit off-topic, but in this film I noticed also something I've never seen mentioned on the Internet so far: the ancient Latin chorus style background music during the action scenes, somewhere at the culmination of the story, if I remember correctly. The actual lyrics are just "oh, s**t!" on repeat.
When Liam Neeson Was Asked To Play The Antagonist In A Million Ways To Die In The West (2014) (Directed By Seth Mcfarlane) He Accepted Due To A Scene In Family Guy Where Peter Says “Imagine Liam Neeson In A Western! Ha! With That Funny Accent Of His!”

In Potc: At World’s End (2007), A Young Boy Is Hanged For Piracy. This Is Historically Accurate; 18th Century Britain Had A Capital Code That Punished Children And Adults Equally. In Fact, One Of The Crimes That Had A Death Sentence Was "Strong Evidence Of Malice In A Child Aged 7–14 Years Of Age"
Reminds me of the scene from Sweeny Todd where the evil judge sentences a thief to be hanged on the grounds that he has a heinous criminal history and then you find out it's a little boy. Geez, you could have just given the kid a timeout, judge.

In The Big Short (2015), There's A Shot Of A Man Standing Near The Front Door Talking On The Phone. It's The Real Michael Burry (Portrayed By Christian Bale In The Film), The Investor Who Predicted The 2008 Housing Market Crash
Actually over 500 economist predicted in 2003 that there would be a major crash between 2006 and 2012 from the housing Market. GW Bush's chief economic advisor N. Gregory Mankiw proposed a solution to prevent the collapse and minimize any fallout. Bush proposed it in 2003 and retracted it because it had such bi-partisan opposition. What is more is that when Andrew Cuomo was head of HUD under Clinton, most economists predicted his brainchild program for affordable housing would lead to exactly this. He called his critics racist and the media went along. Thus a bad policy caused it, political opposition to a rational solution prevented it from stopping, etc. This guy did not predict anything.
