Shocking Subliminal Messages Hidden in Popular Movies

In 1957, the first messages encouraging moviegoers to buy Coca-Cola and popcorn were spliced into movie theater film strips, and audiences did just that. The age of subliminal messaging in entertainment was born, and has been used as a running gag in movies like Fight Club , or as a genuine attempt to influence audiences without them realizing


While the main villain of The Avengers was Loki and the main threat was an alien army called the Chitauri , the threat behind those threats was a cosmic force of evil known as Thanos (or, conversely, The Mad Titan). Of course, you would only know that if you stuck around for the mid-credits sequence and had a firm grasp of the Marvel comic book unive

The Star Wars series is filled with space battles and exploding space stations, but the movies usually show nothing but sparks and smoke to keep violence to a minimum. But one shot shows the model builders have a sense of humor. When the Millennium Falcon enters an asteroid field in Episode V, one pursuing TIE Fighter crashes directly into a space rock. But don't miss the pilot sent ragdoll-ing out of the wreckage, visible for gamedealhq.Com a split second before being broken into pie


"Kirby had done 'The New Gods,' which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said : 'Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good on

Every Firefly fan knows that Joss Whedon’s canceled TV show was given a second life, and a conclusion on the big screen. But when Serenity was greenlit by Universal, the crew realized that Fox, believing the property to be dead, had destroyed the sets – meaning they had to be rebuilt from scratch. The film’s budget had to cover the new ship, but Whedon made light of the situation, stencilling storage containers with the words "REUSABLE CONTAINER: DO NOT DESTROY" in large letters. Let’s hope they took the message to he


He looks a bit more imposing in these images than he did in the film, where he had a vaguely elf-like appearance about him. Perhaps that was because we only saw the right side of his very pink face and none of his gargantuan alien body. It's also worth pointing out that he looks almost identical to his comic book counterpart, give or take a few deta


Actor Simon Pegg has been hired to draft a new version of Star Trek 3 's script, but there's been no news yet about new actors being cast or what the plot might entail, aside from Karl Urban teasing that the concept for the next film is " phenomenal " - and Urban is probably a little bia


When Luke's friends are used as bait to draw him to Cloud City, the young Jedi catches just a glimpse of them before the trap is sprung. But when the scene was filmed, the actor who was supposed to wrestle Leia out of the hallway was a no-show. Actor Jeremy Bulloch saved the day, taking off his Boba Fett armor, and throwing on an Imperial uniform. It's a rare look at the man who actually played the part under the Mandalorian's famous helmet, but Bulloch got another cameo in Revenge of the Sith , piloting the Rebel Blockade Runner that would kick off the original tril


One of the best known Pixar Easter Eggs is the label "A113", the classroom at the California Institute of Arts where many of the company's earlier animators learned their trade. But the California locations are nothing new: in Beauty and The Beast, Maurice and Felipe find themselves lost in a terrifying forest, with a worn-out signpost offering little help. But a closer look shows arrows pointing to both Valencia, where the school is located, and Anaheim, home to Disneyl


Jurassic Park was a hard adventure to beat, but director Steven Spielberg tackled the challenge anyway, removing dinosaurs from the island, and dropping them in San Diego. The added spectacle wasn’t a hit with every fan, but the director had gotten the chance to finally film many of the sequences and plot beats that he couldn’t fit in the first movie. The Lost World ended with the dinosaurs traveling back to Isla Sorna, and letting Spielberg finally take on the role of a fan – literally. Look closely at the TV reflection in the final scene, and the director can be seen with a bowl of popcorn in his lap, and a smile on his f


Some New Gods fans have lamented that Thanos will likely hit the big screen before Darkseid, which could make Darkseid’s inevitable appearance in a DC movie less impactful. Then again, it’s entirely possible - if DC gets its movie-making act together, that is - that both Thanos and Darkseid could appear in The Avengers 2 and Justice League , respectively, around the same time, as the two tent-pole superhero projects are expected to hit theaters in 2
