The dead muchkin in the Wizard of Oz is a pretty common myth.
-
I'm starting to think that most of the mis-quoted lines are from people who are paraphrasing the line in order for people to understand where the line is coming from. For instance, if you just say, "No, I am your father", most people probably wouldn't understand that it's from Star Wars (although it is a pretty famous example). But if you say, "Luke, I am your father", then people understand that you're Darth Vader talking to Luke Skywalker
-
Another Friday the 13th misconception. That Jason was always undead (Jason was never officially undead till Jason Lives).
-
The door scene in Titanic falls into both of them fitting which is true, but it's not the size, it's about the buoyancy of the door. It doesn't matter how big the door is, it's how much weight it can support and still float.
-
I am confused by the point of 17. Gremlins. There are 3 rules, one is the most important, specifically for the Mogwai (not to feed them after midnight). They still have the 2 other rules as Mogwai and Gremlins. The sunlight one does come in handy if your break the first two rules.
-
The "dead person" in The Wizard of Oz is just a large bird.
-
I was so excited to see Indiana Jones here but then it was for the wrong reason! I would have swapped that for the title. Everyone always calls it: Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's not right. They didn't start putting "Indiana Jones" in the title until the second one. The first one is just Raiders of the Lost Ark.
-
I don't believe anyone could still think Jason is the killer in the original "Friday the 13th" since 1996, and the iconic deadly pop quiz opening scene in "Scream".
-
Regarding Gremlins, I think the fact that the other two rules about water and sunlight continue to apply to them after their transformation also helps people to misattribute the third rule as well.
-
One from Star Trek. “Beam me up, Scotty” This is an often heard quote. This was never said in any Star Trek. The closest instance of this being said was in Star Trek IV TVH, where Admiral Kirk says “Scotty, beam me up.”
-
Another I hear is people referring to the Vulcan from "Star Trek" as Dr Spock. It is Mister Spock, not Doctor Spock. Part of the confusion comes from the fact that, in the 70s, when the original "Star Trek" was on TV, there was a best-selling book by a child psychologist called Dr Spock (Dr Benjamin Spock), who was one of the first to advocate against smacking children.
-
Jason Vorhees is sometimes depicted (or referenced, such as "Christmas Vacation") as wielding a chainsaw. But he never uses one in the films. He only has them used against him, in parts 2 and 5 (even tho it is not Jason in part 5)
-
The 1925 silent film version of Ben Hur did have the death of a stuntman during a rehearsal of the chariot race. Singing in the rain did have difficulty filming the rain because of the lighting, and they had to use backlighting, which was very difficult to hide when Gene Kelly was dancing all over the place.
-
In ET, he says “ET Home Phone”. Then baby Drew says “ET Phone Home”
-
I, for one, am happy to see the Mandela effect for Vader’s revelation mentioned. It’s such a small detail of magnified vitality. I’m also aware that, after reading a George Lucas bio called I Am George Lucas, he was conflicted between making More American Graffiti, which served as a sequel to the OG American Graffiti, and The Empire Strikes Back. Both movies eventually came to pass, but remember this: sharp eyes and re-watches can catch otherwise easy-to-miss details.
-
10:30 "The Take In Which He Was Fatally Wounded Was Not In The Final Edit Of The Film And Was Destroyed After An Investigation Into The Accidental Death" That's probably for the best that they didn't include that in the final editing of the movie, as it'd be akin to reliving Brandon's death all over again
-
Here's another misquote. In "The Wizard of Oz", one of the most iconic lines is often misquoted. When Dorothy and Toto arrive in Munchkin Land, many people believe they heard Dorothy say, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore". However, the correct line is "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore".
-
The "Beach flashback" in "Airplane!" (1980) is parodying "From Here to Eternity" (1953), not "Grease" (1978) Also, "Lethal Weapon" (1987) should also be in the Action/Christmas genre debate, along with "Die Hard" (1988)
-
It's understandable with the Rocky thing. The outcome of the match is literally background noise. The highlight of the moment is that Rocky went the distance with the champ and I think the most important part is he desperately wants to share the moment with his true love. Rocky is really a love story. He wants to win the heart of Adrienne more than he wants to win the title. Its better that he didn't win
