10 Amazing Hidden Messages In Popular Movies

The religious themes and imagery of Ridley Scott’s sort-of-prequel to Alien begin in the opening scene, with an alien Engineer sacrificing himself to seed Earth with life – an idea seen in Greek, Roman and Aztec religions. But it’s not the most obvious message. When the cast of Prometheus uncovers an ancient map to a distant moon, LV-223, the film’s Christian heroine sees it as an invitation to meet her creator in person. But instead of answers, the crew finds violent creatures and an Engineer determined to destroy all human life on Ea


While some directors might shy away from fan criticism, J.J. Abrams seems to embrace and accept it. He is fully aware of the fan reaction to Star Trek Into Darkness and his movies overall. He even tries to make up for his misgivings with his next film, but he's not above admitting that he miscalculated what he thinks fans w

Additionally, Stephen Colbert also asked Abrams about his penchant for lens flares. It's no secret that Abrams is notorious about including (sometimes unnecessarily) a number of big, bright, and distracting lens flares in all of his movies. It's actually a popular Internet meme anytime Abrams announces a new project. The director is well aware of the number of lens flares he used in the past, but affirms that he reduced the filmmaking flourish for The Force Awakens . From Jordan Hoff


The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at al


We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film's start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf

In 1986, Steve Jobs purchased the Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas's Lucasfilm and established the independent company we now know to be Pixar. In honor of the man who also founded Apple, Pixar has included references to the tech company or Jobs himself in a number of films. Most notably, the titular robotic hero of Wall-E makes the recognizable Mac startup chime when he's done charging, and Apple products like computers and iPods are shown throughout Toy Story 3 . Finally, game easter eggs|https://movietriviafocus.com/ after passing away in 2011, the end credits of Brave featured a dedication to Jobs in memory of his contribution to Pixar. That last one may not necessarily be hidden, but it's worth mention


It's not often that filmmakers include messages in the credits, but sometimes they do so in order to offer special thanks to those that helped make the movie or they take the time to add in just one more joke. In the end credits of Frozen , the filmmakers included a message to assure audiences that Kristoff's assertion that all men eat their own boogers is his opinion only, and it does "not reflect the views or opinions of The Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers." However, it does seem that Disney, like Kristoff, takes the issue of ingesting nose mucus very seriou


The 2013 Disney film, Frozen , catapulted to massive popularity with help from the catchy and inspirational "Let It Go." The film also features a handful of references to previous Disney and Pixar movies, like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled attending Elsa's coronation. Some even argue Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog also attend the event. However, you have to look more closely in other scenes to catch Frozen's nods to Monster's Inc. and the Mouse House. At Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna a wooden figurine of Mike Wazowski is sitting on the counter, while a Micky Mouse doll is hidden on a shelf. However, Anna decides to buy winterwear instead of these references to other Disney and Pixar characters, which we're sure was the best cho


There have been countless examples of people finding sexual imagery hidden in the frames of Disney movies, and not every one of them is convincing. But one film that definitely has a sexy subliminal secret is 1977’s The Rescuers . The animated adventure about two mice on a quest to find a kidnapped girl has a not-so-innocent image inserted during a sequence where Bianca and Bernard are flying on the back of Orville the albatross. A topless woman was superimposed onto two of the windows flying past during the movie's post-production. This discovery of the image in 1999 led to Disney issuing a recall of 3.4 million home release copies of The Rescuers - but thanks to the internet, it's still easy to find the c
