Total Recall is a simple enough story: an everyday Earthling in the not-too-distant future, Douglas Quaid, dreams of a passionate affair with a beautiful woman on the surface of Mars. So when a business offers to implant false memories for a price, Quaid decides to make his dream a reality – at least as far as his mind is concerned. The procedure goes awry, and Quaid’s false memories disappear, game news|https://Movietriviafocus.com/ revealing that he really WAS a secret agent working on Mars, and the woman from his dreams wasn’t imaginary. At least, that’s what he thinks. The movie never states whether Quaid’s return to Mars really happened, and whether he succeeded in releasing air into its atmosphere, and saving its poor population. But taking a quick glance at just how closely the film’s final scene resembles Quaid’s dream, those suspecting it was simply a fantasy have even more evidence to back up their cl
Considering how many directors give themselves cameos in the background of their biggest blockbusters, you would think George Lucas would have joined in on the fun at some point. But the writer and director waited until Revenge of the Sith to make his triumphant debut, painted blue to play the blue-skinned Baron Papanoida, alongside his daughter, Katie. It’s a tiny cameo, but both of the characters ended up getting a lot more screen time in the animated Clone Wars – unfortunately, Lucas didn’t reprise his r
Furthermore, the post-credits audio message isn’t the only secret in Cloverfield – as the film also contains three hidden frames from classic monster movies: Them! , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms , and King Ko
David Fincher had an incredible challenge adapting the novel Gone Girl to film, but the opening shot is a hard one to forget. Showing what should be a loving scene between a husband and wife, star Rosamund Pike’s sudden stare into the camera and Ben Affleck’s narration put audiences on edge, warning them that the story about to unfold was anything but simple. A kidnapping, lies, and murder all led the estranged couple back to eachother, forced to decide just how willing they were to keep lying for the sake of a marriage – and public perception. Having the couple end up right back where they started from may have been a hard pill for viewers to swallow, but Fincher makes the message loud and clear, ending the movie with the exact same shot he opened on – but the audience’s opinion of the woman in frame has completely chan
Before the scientists of Jurassic Park had learned the dangers of growing dinosaurs firsthand, they developed a unique method to control breeding – grow only female dinosaurs. Ian Malcolm warned that the solution wouldn’t work forever, but Alan Grant had already proven the theory earlier in the film. During the group’s bumpy arrival on the island, Alan struggles with his helicopter seatbelt. Why? He’s trying to connect two female ends. Rather than swapping buckles or giving up, he fashions his own solution, just as mother nature would later in the movie. Grant, like Life “found a w
However, in the case of Peter Jackson’s King Kong remake, the director included a tongue-in-cheek message for savvy moviegoers who actually took the time to do translation work. Just before reaching Skull Island, SS Venture captain Englehorn intercepts a coded message calling for the arrest of Carl Denham (Jack Black). Yet the audible code does not actually say anything about an arrest and instead reads: ” Show me the monkey! ” – a campy hidden message in honor of the film’s titular ape that will probably make readers think twice the next time they see morse code depicted on scr
The prequels tend to get a rough ride from fans, but what if we told you one of the saga’s greatest moments was hidden in the background of Revenge of the Sith ? Believe it. When Obi-wan is hunting down General Grievious, clone troopers are fighting battle droids all around him. For a split second, one clone trooper can be seen squaring off against a droid, dropping it with a stiff jab to the head, and a brutal body blow. Easy to miss or not, why this trooper isn’t worshipped as one of the franchise’s coolest heroes is beyond us – but now’s a good time to st

The galaxy far, far, away is getting a lot bigger in the coming years, which means plenty of writers, directors and actors each getting a chance to throw in nods to the original films. But even though the Star Wars saga has been pored over for decades, there are still a TON of details, secrets and easter eggs we’re willing to bet fans have never cau
Backstory: After tensions rise at the station, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) visits a Mexican restaurant with other women from the KVWN Channel 4 – plotting a practical joke to get even for the continued arrogance and sexism displayed by Ron Burgandy and the rest of San Diego’s “Number One News Team.” The restaurant the ladies visit is the “Escupimos en su Alimento” – which, when translated in Spanish, actually means ” we spit in your foo
