This Online Group Is Dedicated To The Obscure Details And Easter Eggs Found In Movies, Here Are 30 Of The Most Interesting (New Pics)
Filmmakers love using little details to send their audiences secret messages. They're called easter eggs and finding them in movies is a great pleasure; it's like you're communicating with the artist through a secret language, not bound to the constraints of time and space. All it takes is keen observation and a little experience.
However, there's a way to enjoy this visual lingo even if you're not fluent in it. As we at Bored Panda have already shown you here, here, and here, there's an online community where attentive viewers share all the hidden gems they uncover. It's a 2.8-million-member subreddit called "Movie Details."
Since our last publication, these folks have made plenty of new discoveries, so we thought it's about time we paid them another visit. From old classics ("Jaws") to recent hits ("Blade Runner 2049"), continue scrolling to learn more obscure facts and trivia about some of the most beloved productions.

In Jaws (1975), The TV Reporter Is Played By Peter Benchly, The Author Of The Book
In Thor (2011) One Of The Asgardians Is Played By Walt Simonson. He Wrote The Thor Comic Book From 1983-1987
Again, we managed to get in contact with Niiue, a moderator of the subreddit who routinely takes the time to tell us all about the community, and they agreed to do it one more time.
Since "Movie Details" is so massive, I asked Niiue if the mod team has to 'police' it much.
"Honestly, not a whole lot. Most of the time, all we have to do is remove reposts and posts that aren't movie details," they told Bored Panda. I guess cinephiles are a cultured bunch!
In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 (2018), The Old Couple Taking Photos Are The Parents Of James Gunn. They Are Credited As "Weird Old Man" And "Weird Old Man's Mistress"
Ego? I had this vision of Ratatouille's Anton Ego putting down the poison pen and taking up more direct weapons.
In The Princess And The Frog (2009) The Villains Shadow Turns This Wallpaper To Skulls And Crossbones In This Scene
Some Good Advice In The End Credits Of The Naked Gun (1988)
As you can see from the pictures, all sorts of movies contain easter eggs, and from what they've seen moderating the sub, Niiue agrees that they're pretty universal.
"I'm not sure if any genre has more easter eggs on average than the rest," they said. "Some genres get featured more often on the sub, but that could have a variety of explanations (e.g. certain genres being more popular with the userbase)."
Niiue said that if there's one piece of advice they can give that can help people uncover these storytelling elements, it's rewatching a film. Once you are familiar with the characters and the plot, your eyes and mind have more time to scan around them.
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Han Drops His Parka On The Floor When He Arrives At Starkiller Base
When he leaves, Chewbacca hands it back to him, and he reacts with confusion. This part was improvised by Chewbacca's actor Joonas Suotamo, who went off script, confusing Harrison Ford.
In Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), The Blond Man On The Right Is Gal Gadot's Husband, Yaron Varsano. And The Little Girl Is Maya, Their Younger Daughter
In Bohmian Rhapsody (2018), The Trucker That Eyes Freddie Is Played By Singer Adam Lambert
Since 2011, He Has Been Touring With Queen As Their Frontman
But easter eggs are not limited to the big screen. The earliest known instance in a video game, for example, is in Moonlander (1973), in which the player tries to land a spaceship on the moon. If they fly it horizontally enough, they encounter a McDonald's restaurant and if they land next to it, an astronaut will visit it instead of standing next to the ship. More elaborate easter eggs can include secret levels and entire developers' rooms - fully functional, hidden areas of a game.
The Google search engine famously contains many easter eggs, activated by the user typing in certain search queries. Search for “askew” and sure enough, your results will be displayed slightly akimbo. They still function as 'normal' search results. They just look crooked. Pretty neat!

In The Matrix (1999) In The Real World Both Cypher And Mouse Are Bleeding From Both Ears In Every Scene
I FOUND THE ANSWER!
It’s a hidden detail in the original script.
“MORPHEUS This will feel a little weird.
There are several disturbing noises as he works the needle in.
We MOVE IN as Neo’s shoulders bunch and his face tightens into a grimace until a LOUD CLICK fires and his ears pop like when you equalize them underwater.”
When you enter the Matrix, your ears pop. Scuba divers often can get blood in their ears from this effect. So, the “jacking-in” causes the ears to pop. If repeatedly done (to talk to the machines or to see a woman in a red dress) would mean repeatedly popping your ears—causing them to eventually bleed.

In Joker (2019), Arthur Performs At Pogo's Comedy Club. It Was Named After Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy. Gacy Would Regularly Entertain Children As "Pogo The Clown"
This nickname has been with my family for generations. Wayne Gacy didn't help.
I don't think he was trying to help. Or maybe he was. Sometime you just don't know what goes on in the mind of a serial killer.
Load More Replies...
I don't understand it, either. For a while I lived on the same block as the gas station that Gacy brought his car to for service. Almost everyone in that neighborhood knew him, knew of him, knew people who worked for him. He'd post flyers in the local drug store advertising for young men to come and work for him. He was a creep. I don't think the half of it came to light. People romanticize serial killers because it's never personally affected them or theirs, I think. It's fantasy vs. real life.

Wasn't Pogo the possum a cartoon character from years ago? https://daily.jstor.org/the-most-controversial-comic-strip/
Yes, quite brilliant, too. Very subtle political commentary because you had to be back then.

Pretty obscure, i knew abt jwg and pogo but would not have put it together. Shitty story that one, only he went down for it, but its obvious he wasnt the only one involved
He was the only one involved. That's what was so horrifying about it. Gacy was a public figure, very involved in community stuff, "good deeds", had his photo taken with First Lady Rosalyn Carter, had a huge construction business, knew everyone. He did it for decades. The part that always got me is his WIFE (yes! wife) claims she had no clue Gacy was burying 29+ bodies in their crawlspace and they were rotting. I don't believe you couldn't know that. The site of the house. The house was torn down and another built in its place. That was up for sale recently. I can't imagine wanting to live on that site. They were going to make a public park out of it, but no one wanted their children to "play" on that ground https://www.chicagotribune.com/history/ct-john-wayne-gacy-timeline-htmlstory.html
Load More Replies... Oh cmon did this one really need explaining. At least for people in the US
I knew about as much about Gacy as you probably know about the famous pirate Klaus Störtebeker. The world is a big place and everybody knows hardly anything at all. So it often helps to explain things. By the way: Störtebeker's legend is that he got caught and beheaded -and won a barter that every one of his crew that he managed to walk past headless would be pardoned.

The Dark Knight is a phenomenal movie! I love so many things about it and think it's a stand out to the three in the series. However, I've often wondered if Heath Ledger hadn't put so much darkness into the character, utilizing the methods that he did to put himself into that headspace, would he have survived? I know it's a question that will never be answered and it may have only prolonged the inevitable, if he hadn't been associated with The Dark Knight movie. One will never know. There's just a lot of sadness associated with situations like these and how such talented people are often gone far earlier than anyone would expect.

In the Chipmunks movie, Dave's house number is the year the Chipmunks started
The entire Star Trek franchise is riddled with number "47" This because Joe Menosky graduated from Pomona College in 1979 and went on to become one of the story writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

They documented various 47 sightings, and professor Donald Bentley produced a false mathematical proof that 47 was equal to all other integers. The number became a meme among the class, which spread once the academic year began and snowballed over time.
