Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and today I watched Deadpool 1 at 0.25x speed and found
13 new details that I'm pretty sure you haven't seen before!
Now this one is gonna be a small but a sweet video, and a lot of the details will make
you smile and appreciate the movie even more!
So without wasting any of your time, let's begin!
Number 1: Remember this epic Gun-Battle from the opening of this movie?
Well, in the opening credits, we see a super slow-mo shot of this Gun-Battle in the background.
But notice, notice there's a keychain where a male figure seems to be going down on a
female figure!
We even see a business card for No5 Orange, a local strip club in Vancouver, which happens
to be Ryan Reynolds' hometown.
This is the same strip club that they later visit to find Vanessa.
Number 2: Now, who doesn't remember Dopinder right?
Well, he loves a girl but that girl loves his cousin Bandhu aka Dopinder's romantic
rival!
So in order to win the girl back, Dopinder kidnaps his own cousin Bandhu and traps him
in the trunk of his taxi!
Who we hear screaming at the top of his lungs!
Now this screaming was actually voiced by Ryan Reynolds himself but he wasn't given
credits for it.
Number 3: The first time Deadpool ever mentions Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds actually mocks Hugh
Jackman's Australian accent.
Number 4: At the beginning of the film when we see Deadpool in a gun-fight, at one point
Deadpool gets shot in his right arm.
It actually creates a massive hole in his right arm and the suit.
But notice this hole was actually getting smaller and smaller.
Showing us just how fast Deadpool's healing ability is!
In fact in a later scene, we see his flesh has perfectly healed up again.
Kudos to the VFX team for paying attention to such small continuity details!
Number 5: In the comics, Deadpool gained his healing powers from an experiment involving
a sample of Wolverine's blood.
Now notice in this movie, the serum Wade is injected with can be seen to have drops of
blood in it, implying that those drops of blood came from Wolverine.
Number 6: When Negasonic Teenage Warhead attacks Angel Dust, she fires up and as a result it
burns her coat.
And we see her yellow and black X-Men uniform.
But there's very clever hidden detail here.
Notice just before Negasonic fires up, she tosses her phone towards Deadpool.
This is because she knew that once she activates her powers, it will completely disintegrate
her regular clothes.
Therefore even if she did keep the phone back in her pocket, it would have gone along with
her coat.
And that's why she handed it to Deadpool first.
Number 7: During the final fight, Deadpool uses the bodies of the soldiers he killed
to spell the word 'FRANCIS' , the name of the antagonist.
Now notice, he used the severed head of this soldier to put the "dot" over the letter "i".
And I'm assuming this is the reason the director had Deadpool decapitate this soldier earlier,
because they were gonna need a severed head later!
Number 8: In this same scene we see a similar pattern of bloodstain for each body because
Deadpool had to drag them, except for this severed head.
The bloodstain for this head is not spread enough.
This is because unlike the bodies, Deadpool didn't have to drag it here, he could just
simply lift it and put it there.
Now the reason I'm counting this as a detail is because this scene is heavily CGI'd.
Except for the bodies and the actors, almost everything in this shot is CGI, especially
this severed head.
So hats off to the VFX team who made sure each bloodstain matches with specific body
type or a severed head in this case.
Number 9: On the highway where Deadpool confronts Francis and his henchmen, two signs can be
spotted for Nicieza Street and Liefeld Street.
Now, Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld both co-created the character Deadpool.
And of course Liefeld has a cameo in the movie as well, along with a coffee mug that has
his name on it.
But for details like this, please watch my first breakdown with the link below.
There's a few more road signs that pay tribute to more Deadpool creators.
For instance, Fort McGuinness, Ditko Avenue and Wernick Parkway.
Now, Ed McGuinness is one of the illustrators that worked on the character while Paul Wernick
is one of the writers of this movie.
Now, Steve Ditko didn't have a hand in this particular character, but he is one of the
creators of Spider-Man, one of Deadpool's favorite teammates in Marvel comics.
Number 10: After being diagnosed with cancer, Wade tries to convince Vanessa to leave him!
But notice the shirt Wade is wearing here!
It has the logo for the Broadway show RENT.
This is the official logo sold to promote the musical.
And it's such a perfect easter egg too because the musical features numerous characters with
life-threatening illnesses, just like Wade Wilson!
Number 11: When Francis brings Vanessa to the top of the helicarrier, she is wearing
a red coat with white trim.
This is Wade's jacket that he can be seen wearing at the beginning of the film.
Meaning, Vanessa had kept it and used it regularly even after Wade left her and she presumed
him dead.
Number 12: The handgun Blind Al gives to Deadpool, which he later uses to kill Francis with is
a Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket .25 cal, but Weasel incorrectly refers to as .45 caliber.
Indicating his knowledge about guns isn't that well in the movies.
Number 13: Wade talks with Weasel about meeting new people in Jacksonville.
Later he finds Bob who he hasn’t seen since TGI Friday’s in Jacksonville.
Now, Bob is a relatively common name, but if you're a comic book fan, you will know
it's a nod to Deadpool's frenemy, a Hydra agent named Bob.
Deadpool also references Bob's wife Gail.
This is a nod to Gail Simone, a prolific comic book writer who has worked on Deadpool comics.
And that's it, this would be my 2nd breakdown of Deadpool 1 at 0.25x speed.
