Shitty movie details are things you likely haven’t noticed while watching, but someone somewhere did and decided to share it in Reddit’s r/shittymoviedetails.
It’s a no-nonsense place to share all the useless but funny details that you can point out the next time you find yourself knee-deep in a conversation about movies with a film snob. I’m sure they’ll appreciate these shitty movie details.
1. “In Pixar’s Up (2009) Carl and Ellie break into their Paradise Falls savings jar in order to pay for Carl’s hospital bill, this is actually a clever reference to the fact that the American healthcare system is literal garbage.”
2. “In Avengers: Endgame (2019), Scarlet Johansson throws herself off a cliff so she doesn’t have to be part of the girl power scene”
3. “In Game of Thrones Season 8, Daenerys’ last words are “we break the wheel together” which spelled backward says “rehtegot leehw eht kaerb ew” which doesn’t make sense just like the rest of season 8.”
4. “In Star Wars Episode 9, Kylo Ren receives a trumpet from …Black Widow? Wait what the fuck am I watching”
5. “Actors in black and white movies were often putting their lives in danger during driving scenes, as they weren’t able to tell if the traffic light was red or green.”
6. “In the Sonic The Hedgehog movie trailer you can see 22 coins instead of stars in the Paramount logo. This is a subtle nod to the fact that this movie will make 22 USD at the box office.”
7. “The Lion King (1994) correctly predicted the entire plot for The Lion King (2019)”
8. “In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, “Dark Rey” hisses at Rey and her teeth turn into fangs. I wish I was joking, but this actually happens in the movie.”
9. “During the filming of Jurassic Park (1993), T-Rex was known to sweat profusely as it was his first major role in 55 million years.”
10. “VIN Diesel’s full legal name, Vehicle Identification Number Diesel, was the sole determining factor in his original casting for the Fast & Furious franchise.”
11. “Despite being a South Korean movie, Parasite also had an uncredited appearance by American actor Dwayne Johnson.”
12. “In Independence Day (1996) the dog Boomer survives, which makes him an OK Boomer”
13. “The film 1917, filmed in 2019, is claimed to have been a one-shot movie. This is impossible, as there were way too many guns fired.”
14. “Joaquin Phoenix chose this outfit himself for this scene to pay homage to his all-time favorite movie star; McLovin”
15. “Despite his name, actor Adam Driver was not considered for a role in Baby Driver (2017). This is because he was 33 when the film came out, meaning he was an Adult Driver.”
When he's not doomscrolling Twitter or writing for Pleated-Jeans, Nate Armbruster writes jokes—and then tells them on stage as a stand-up comedian, where he can watch audiences (hopefully) laugh in real-time.
