When a movie has audiences on the edge of their seats, or falling out of them, you�d
be surprised at how much they miss.
We don�t just mean mistakes or plot holes, since viewers are just as likely to overlook
clever details the directors placed into the film on purpose for an extra laugh � or
a mind-bending twist.
Here are Screen Rant�s 10 Movie Details You Definitely Missed.
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Quentin Tarantino managed to keep the real identity of Uma Thurman�s character a secret
through both Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2, referred to by Bill only as �Kiddo,� and officially
credited as �The Bride.� It was only at the end of Volume 2 that the heroine�s name
was revealed in full as �Beatrix Kiddo.� But eagle-eyed viewers could have spoiled
the surprise well ahead of time, since Kiddo�s plane ticket to Japan in the first movie shows
her name in full.
Inception
Even die-hard fans of this �dreams within dreams� heist movie may have missed one
of Inception�s most brilliant touches.
Throughout the story, the team uses a single song as a signal to wake up, with the music
growing louder and deeper as it travels down through layers of dreams.
Viewers may not notice that the entire movie�s score is built from the same song, slowed
down to match the way it sounds while dreaming �
in other words: telling audiences it�s time for them to wake up as well.
Inception
The movie�s ending has also been debated, with fans wondering if the spinning top is
meant to show that the movie�s hero, Cobb, is only dreaming his happy ending.
But a small detail may hold the answer: whenever Cobb is inside of a dream � where his late
wife is around to wreak havoc � his wedding ring returns to his finger.
When awake, it disappears.
Going only by that detail, the lack of the ring in the final scene confirms it�s not
an illusion.
Total Recall
Long before Inception had movie fans debating what was real and what wasn�t, this sci-fi
adventure was playing the same trick.
When a blue collar worker of the future pays to have thrilling memories of a top secret
mission to Mars planted in his brain, his real memories return� sending him on an
adventure to Mars.
Fans have debated whether the film is real or all in the hero�s head - but listen closely
to one Rekall lab tech who directly references the film�s final scene (insert: �blue
sky on Mars� clip).
Other hints can be explained away, but this easy to miss line is hard to argue.
Fast Five
Introduced as a new character in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, the unshakable Han (pronounced
�Honn�) � played by actor Sung Kang � would go on to become a main player in
future films, referred to only by his first name.
Director Justin Lin�s unofficial prequel Better Luck Tomorrow starred Kang as �Han
Lue,� but Fast Five revealed his full name was revealed to be �Han Seoul-Oh,� a clear
nod to the Star Wars saga�s infamous smuggler.
Godzilla
As serious a threat as a prehistoric alpha predator may pose, the minds behind the 2014
Godzilla reboot had plenty of fun with their opening credits.
The classified reports censored to conceal everything but a cast or crew member�s name
is clever, but a closer look reveals nearly every one of them to be the butt of a joke
� including a nod to Bryan Cranston�s role as Breaking Bad�s �Walter White,�
and the monster movie that put Gareth Edwards in the director�s chair.
The Lord of the Rings
No fantasy fan will forget the moment when Boromir met his end in the Fellowship of the
Ring, pierced by multiple arrows from an Uruk-Hai (pronounced �Oorook High�) bow, but it�s
Aragorn who finds the best way to remember his sacrifice.
Removing Boromir�s leather vambraces before sending his body on to Gondor, Aragorn goes
on to sport the forearm guards for the next two films � a fact never called out or noted
by any character.
Back to the Future
When Marty McFly�s time travel prevents his parents from falling in love, he�s forced
to bring them together � or risk fading from existence as a result.
Convincing his sheepish father means using all the futuristic tech and jargon he can
muster � including music by Van Halen.
Although the band wouldn�t give permission to use their name or music, lead guitarist
Eddie Van Halen did.
Marty�s cassette tape is labelled EDWARD Van Halen as a result, with the guitarist
admitting years later that he recorded the guitar riffs himself.
Jurassic Park
Steven Spielberg has a knack for terrifying moviegoers with monsters neither seen nor
heard � first with the great white shark of Jaws, and later, Jurassic Park.
The parallels aren�t lost on the cast, either: when Jurassic Park programmer Dennis Nedry
is introduced, he�s apparently enjoying a viewing of Jaws on his own computer screen.
Specifically, the scene in which the massive shark is first revealed.
You would think that he would have learned never to get cocky with deadly animals, but
Spielberg had�other plans.
The Usual Suspects
Kevin Spacey�s crippled con man, Verbal Kint may concoct one of the most iconic twists
in movie history, but the ending of The Usual Suspects isn�t as hard to guess as you�d
think.
Government agents suspect that his story is only meant to cover the escape of his friend,
Keaton.
The audience saw Keaton killed by the film�s mysterious villain, and when the interrogation
gets rough, Verbal spills the beans for one brief second (insert clip: �I killed Keaton�).
The Customs agent, like the audience, may have been too distracted to hear Verbal confess
to the crime.
