life moves pretty fast
[Music]
if you don't stop and look around once
in a while you could miss it welcome to
watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10
craziest movie fan theories that turned
out to be wrong
i've just had the best summer of my life
and now i have to go away
it isn't fair or is it just happening
inside my head
of course it's happening inside your
head harry
do you ever hear the tragedy of darth
plagueis the wives for this list we'll
be going over the most bizarre fan
theories about films that ended up being
incorrect
despite many feeling oddly plausible
which of these theories had you fooled
let us know in the comments number 10
owens origins jurassic world in the
original jurassic park film
dr alan grant gives an annoying kid a
lesson about the respect he should feel
for velociraptors
the point is you are alive
when they start to eat you
so you know try to show a little respect
fast forward 20 plus years and jurassic
world stars owen grady
a trainer for living raptors at a fully
functioning dinosaur park
some fans have suggested that these two
characters are one in the same
and that the boy took his newfound
respect for these animals and made a
career out of it
you made them and now you think you own
them we do own them
extinct animals have no rights they're
not extinct anymore
exactly however both chris pratt who
plays owen
and witt hertford who played the boy
have shot down this theory
leaving fans feeling blue
[Music]
number nine the day ferris bueller's day
off
life moves pretty fast
if you don't stop and look around once
in a while you can miss it the movie is
called ferris bueller's day off
so naturally many fans were curious
which day is it
the legendary teenage ditcher and his
friends do a lot of fun things while
skipping school
including attending a baseball game some
eagle-eyed fans figured out who was
playing that day
and decided on the date june 5th 1985.
this does fit given that the story seems
to take place near the end of the school
year
however there's also the small matter of
the huge von steuben parade that's a
major set
piece too this takes place in september
and appears later in the movie
life does move pretty fast but we're
pretty sure you can't fit that much time
in one day
number eight sandy is dead grease
the conclusion of grease sees lovebirds
sandy and danny fly off into the sky in
a car
that's weird right
sure it's a musical when people break
into song randomly but
a flying car one theory supposed that
since sandy is said to have nearly
drowned when she and dany first met
that the whole film is a near-death
hallucination
sandy did drown and her ascent in the
convertible is actually her ascent to
heaven i've just had the best summer of
my life and now i have to go away
it isn't fair however even if this idea
is the one that you want
the musical's writer jim jacobs has
brought it down to earth
claiming its inventor must have been on
acid
[Music]
number seven andy's late father owned
woody
toy story toy story has sparked a ton of
theories
such as why the toys come to life in the
first place i'm gonna teach that boy a
lesson
yeah sure you go ahead melting with your
scary laser
be careful with that it's extremely
dangerous but one of the strangest
has to do with its human characters the
rumored original source was supposedly
the late joe ranft
once head of story for pixar it posits
that andy
the boy who owns woody and the rest of
the toys was not
woody's first owner instead the andy
written on woody's boot refers to andy's
father the theory further states that
andy senior died of post-polio syndrome
and passed his toys on to his son woody
doesn't even realize that his
original owner has passed away or that
the andy playing with him now
isn't the andy who wrote his name on his
boot
however toy story writer andrew stanton
has poisoned this water hole
calling it fake news
number six donnie is imaginary the big
lebowski
the two main protagonists of this
hilarious movie are walter and the dude
although they're sometimes joined by
donny their bowling teammate
were you listening to the dude's story i
was lulling
so you have no frame of reference here
donnie you're like a child who wanders
into the middle of a movie
walter what's the point man far less
assertive than his friends
donnie is frequently ignored by the duo
except when walter tells him to shut up
he peed on my rug he peed on the dude's
rug donny you're out of your element
this inspired the theory that donny is
just a figment of walter's imagination
the cast members have even mentioned it
at a reunion however not only do the
writer directors the coen brothers not
abide with this idea
the movie doesn't either the dude
responds to donny several times
and then there's the memorable moment of
donny's ashes being blown into the
dude's face
after his death this theory will not
stand man
uh the dude minds this will not stand
you know this aggression will not stand
man
number five max isn't max mad max fury
road
when a character is recast it's bound to
create some concerns with continuity
such was the case with the newest mad
max film which saw tom hardy take over
the title role
max my name is max
however some fans thought that his new
appearance could be explained another
way
the theory supposes that hardy's
character is really an adult version of
the unnamed feral kid from the road
warrior
the biggest pieces of evidence are their
mutual fondness for nonverbal
communication
and a music box similar to the one that
max gave the feral kid showing up in
fury road
sadly it was not a lovely day when
director george miller debunked this
theory
pointing out that the road warriors
narrator is an adult feral kid
as for me i grew to manhood in the
fullness of time i became the leader
the chief of the great northern tribe
and the rogue warrior that was the last
we ever saw of him
number four harry potter and the
imaginary wizards
the harry potter franchise the harry
potter fandom is a large and devoted one
which has led to a plethora of wild
theories as tempting as it was to
discuss
the one where dumbledore is secretly a
time traveling ron
this one is even more insane almost
literally
according to some fan's ideas harry is
not a wizard at all
but rather a mentally ill young man
whose abusive upbringing leads him to
imagine his adventures at hogwarts
i'm warning you now boy any funny
business
any at all and you won't have any meals
for a week kitty
the school is not for witches and
wizards but rather an asylum harry is
committed to
voldemort meanwhile is an
externalization of harry's darker
impulses
[Music]
jk rowling has debunked this theory
however either way of course just
because something is inside your head
doesn't mean it isn't real right is this
all real
or is it just happening inside my head
of course it's happening inside your
head harry
why should that mean that it's not real
number three
darth jar jar the star wars franchise
star wars has generated its own fair
share of fan theories
do you ever hear the tragedy of darth
plagueis the wise
no i thought not it's not a story the
jedi would tell you
while the idea that supreme leader snoke
was palpatine's legendary master
darth plagueis was also off the wall an
even more unbelievable mastermind would
have been jar jar binks
you know i find that jar jar creature to
be a little odd
the floppy-eared cgi comic relief
character is a low point in the
franchise in many people's books
but some theorists have suggested that
he was smarter than he seemed
the theory holds that jar jar was
actually a sith lord
secretly influencing those around him
with mind control to help bring
palpatine to power
misa proposed that the senate
give immediately emergency powers
to the supreme chancellor higher ups
connected to the franchise like jj
abrams have debunked the theory
and given that jar jar was made to
appeal to kids it seems
very unlikely number two pixar universe
pixar films so all encompassing that
it's usually just called the pixar
theory
this idea holds that every pixar movie
ever made is actually part of a shared
universe
so today we're simplifying things and
making a new
updated pixar theory covering everything
from toy story
through the incredibles 2. the origins
of it are generally the easter eggs
referencing previous movies that pixar
tends to put in their films or
background characters that look like old
characters showing up in new movies
theorists have used these minute
connections to construct an elaborate
timeline
with braves magic giving people
superpowers in the incredibles
and movies like cars or wall-e taking
place in the distant future
in a 200 lap winner takes all tiebreaker
race now bob you know i got a lot of
miles on me but let me tell you
something buddy i never thought i'd see
anything like this
however pixar animators and executives
like mark nielsen have revealed that the
easter eggs are just winks at the
audience
and similar characters are just reused
assets

number one the code name the james bond
franchise
no not double 07 we're talking about the
name
bond james bond i admire your luck
mr bond
james bond this popular theory suggests
that like the real world
role james bond is a code name passed on
to different men within the story
proponents point to the different actors
who have played the part as well as a
few tongue-in-cheek references
this never happened to the other fella
however even the movies themselves pull
holes in this idea
for instance continuity like the death
of bond's wife
as well as recurring characters like q
and m illustrate that it's different
men as the same character additionally
casino royale being a definitive reboot
origin story
as well as the appearance of the bond
family home in skyfall make it clear
that the spy was born bond
not made this is where you grew up
how old were you when they died
you know they also do that
you know the whole story do you agree
