- You know, my favorite movie theories are
anything to do with Christopher Walken.
Yes, come on, ladies.
Show me a movie boom bag, come on.
Okay, well that sounded crazy,
but what's even crazier is some
of the most amazing and insane theories
that the Internet has come up with
about some of the most famous movies
of all time, that will completely change the way
you look at these movies.
Seriously, get ready for these.
Here are 10 crazy movie theories that will blow your mind.
Number 10 is More Than One Bond.
Whether it's Sean Connery, Roger Moore,
Daniel Craig, or any of the other men
who have donned the super spy's tuxedo,
James Bond is an iconic character.
Since 1962, when Connery first took
on the role, Bond has appeared
with several different faces, even going back
to a previous actor's after that actor left the franchise.
And while it could simply be explained
as asking the audience to suspend disbelief
that his features age and accent keep changing,
there's a fan theory that suggests
that James Bond isn't a specific person at all.
What if the title is just that, a title,
and it's given to a new spy, along
with the 007 status when the previous one dies or retires?
It would explain the different appearances,
and how Connery can somehow keep coming back to the role.
Moneypenny, why don't you take off
that blouse so I can get to know you better?
Number nine is Sandy Drowns.
The 1978 musical, Grease, redefined the genre,
and many of its songs are still stuck in people's heads
I'm greased lightning!
Oh, sorry.
It also raised questions about
why nobody ever seems to break
into song while discussing things.
To answer it, a theory formed that sounds pretty solid.
Basically, it says that Sandy did
actually drown at the beginning of the film,
and everything that unfolds is
her oxygen-deprived brain making her hallucinate,
while Danny tries desperately
to resuscitate her on the beach.
Yeah, this one's kinda dark.
In the end, as the two lovers drive
away from their friends, waving goodbye,
and the car rises into the clouds,
for some reason, that's Sandy letting go
and ultimately dying.
Creator Jim Jacobs heard about the rumor
and quickly squashed it, though many
still believe that he's wrong.
I mean, what does the guy
that made the whole thing know, anyway?
Number eight is In Cameron's Head.
On the surface, it seems like Ferris Beuller's Day Off is
just a story about a kid who wants a day
off school, and has an adventure,
and winds up putting himself center stage in a parade.
Pretty standard day for the rest of us.
But there's another way fans are seeing the movie,
and it involves the hero of it,
Ferris himself, not actually existing at all.
Yes, if the theory is correct,
then everything that transpires is
in Cameron's head, and his best friend, Bueller,
is, in fact, just the depressed teenager's alter ego,
a version of himself that he wants to be, but he can't.
Think about it, in a matter of hours, the three teens seem
to get all around Chicago, which is impossible
to do in such a short time, and in the end,
the entire imagined ordeal does
what it was meant to do, force Cameron
to stand up to his father.
Bueller, Bueller.
No, you're not real, kid.
Bueller.
Number seven is Bill's Spared.
At the end of the second volume
in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill film,
we see protagonist, Beatrix Kiddo,
use a famously feared move,
the five-point palm exploding heart technique.
She does this to end the life of Bill,
the man responsible for the deaths
of her loved ones, but if you buy
into one particular fan theory,
she could not have performed that move,
and thus Bill faked dying as a gesture
that Kiddo could take her child
and he would not come after her.
Essentially, the pair forgave each other.
Bill states earlier in the film
that Pai Mei never teaches the
deadly move to anyone, and if you look
closely, his feet have moved when
his body is shown again, later.
Plus, as the final credits roll,
while all the other assassins' names are crossed off,
David Carradine, who plays Bill,
is not, suggesting that he's not dead.
Kill Bill 3!?
Who's ready for it?
Yes!
Number six is All In the Future.
With all of it's talk of Arabian Nights,
it's pretty clear that the animated film,
Aladdin, and its sequels all took place in the past.
However, as many fans have since pointed out,
there are a number of inconsistencies
that more so support the fact that the Disney film
actually takes place in the future.
In fact, a very distant future.
For example, look no further than
the late Robin Williams' amazing performance as the Genie.
When he's transforming Aladdin
into a prince, he quickly measures him,
stating that his look is too third century,
but earlier in the film, he claims
to have been trapped in the lamp for 10,000 years.
This would mean that, at the earliest,
the date would have been in the 10,300s,
and 83 centuries from now, apparently people have
not turned their backs on technology,
but totally embraced magic.
But do they have cell phones that have a battery
that can last more than a day?
Seriously, it's 2018.
Let's get on that.
Number five is Jack is a Time Traveler.
Since its release on December 19th, 1997,
Titanic has drawn a number of tears
from viewers, and nearly an equal number of confused stares.
There was so much room on that door for Rose!
But one fan theory adds a big splash
of sci-fi, claiming that Leonardo DiCaprio's character,
Jack Dawson, is not just a poor artist,
but a time traveler from the future.
The theory says he had to gamble
for his ticket because he had no currency
for that time period.
He claims that he's been fishing in Lake Wissota,
and will take Rose on the roller coaster
on Santa Monica Pier, however,
neither of which existed when the ship sank.
Plus, his hairstyle, cigarettes, and backpack were
all not around until many years later.
Could it be that he was sent back
to stop Rose from taking her own life?
It makes more sense than you might think.
I'll never let go, Jack.
I'll never let go!
Oh, I let go.
Yeah, you're frozen.
Okay, bye.
Number four is Little Iron Man.
In the climax of Iron Man 2,
the armored Tony Stark is battling a horde
of killer robots while trying to protect the citizens
who are attending his company's expo.
But during the fight, one
of the machines targets a young boy
who's dressed up cosplay style, like Iron Man himself.
Before he can vaporize the poor child,
the real Iron Man lands, blasts the bot
into pieces, and comments, nice work, kid,
before flying off again.
And while you might think that
that's the last time that we see the young character,
it may surprise you to learn it's not.
In fact, he's got his own movie, now.
Apparently, the wannabe superhero is
none other than Peter Parker.
Incredibly, this theory was made even
more popular when Spider-Man himself,
Tom Holland, claimed it was true in June of 2017.
Is your mind blown, yet?
Amazing, 'cause we got three more,
so put it back together, and keep going.
Number three is Demons.
At first viewing, M. Night Shyamalan's horror thriller,
Signs, appears to be a film about an ex-priest
who's turned his back on his faith
to support his suddenly smaller family,
only to then be faced with an alien invasion.
You know, average everyday stuff.
But a popular fan theory suggests that what Mel Gibson
and Joachim Phoenix's characters are fighting
off aren't aliens at all, but demons.
The first piece of evidence to back
this idea is that, in order to defeat the invaders,
a series of events has to perfectly line up,
including several glasses of water
randomly being left all over the house,
and a baseball bat being nearby.
Now, are these truly random, or an angel intervention?
Plus, why would water burn the creatures when air doesn't?
Perhaps all of this water that's
in the priest's home was blessed,
and therefore deadly to demons.
Number two is Harry Makes People Evil.
Here's a question for all the Harry Potter fans out there,
would the Dursleys have been the awful human beings
they appear to be if they'd
never taken Harry in, in the first place?
While many may feel that they were
truly terrible from their course,
from the beginning, an enlightening point
of view has quickly spread amongst the fandom,
which claims that the only reason the family turned
on the lightning-scarred orphan was
because he was, in fact, a Horcrux.
When Volde-- I mean, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, attempted
to kill Harry, and instead forced a piece
of his shattered soul into him,
he imbued Mr. Potter with some evil
that festered inside of him.
Harry may not have been conscious
of this, but the evil's effects took hold
on those who spent large amounts of time near him,
thus the Dursley's could have been nice people
if not for adopting Harry Potter (laughs maniacally).
And number one is Wallace's Soul.
Considered one of the biggest mysteries
purposefully left behind by a film,
the contents of the briefcase
in the Quentin Tarantino picture,
Pulp Fiction, have had a great number
of people speculating since its release
on October 14th, 1994.
However, one fan theory has apparently found
its way to the top of likely suspects,
and it claims that the briefcase
actually contains gangster Marsellus Wallace's soul.
The first time that we, as viewers,
see Wallace, it's just a shot of the back
of his head, complete with a bandage covering one spot,
theoretically, the place where the devil
normally removes the soul from a human body.
Then, whenever we see the briefcase open,
its contents are off-camera, but we get
to see a golden glow, and the amazed look
on people's faces as they stare at wonder at it.
'Cause, you know, the soul's a beautiful thing.
And also, what does Marsellus Wallace look like?
Does he look like a--?
Okay, no, I don't wanna get demonetized.
We'll move on.
