Not all movie trivia needs to be groundbreaking—sometimes, the dumbest details are the most entertaining.
That’s exactly what you’ll find in the r/shittymoviedetails subreddit, where users share hilariously stupid (and totally fake) movie “facts” that are so absurd, they’re brilliant.
These details aren’t meant to be taken seriously, but they’ll definitely make you laugh, roll your eyes, and maybe even look at your favorite films in a whole new, ridiculous light.
Here’s a collection of the funniest dumb movie details we found—enjoy the nonsense.
1. In Gladiator 2 (2024), Pedro Pascal wears a black and blue outfit.
2. These are 4 different actresses.
3. In Titanic (1997) Rose throws a 250 Million Dollar necklace in the ocean, in memory of that 1 night stand she had 80 years ago. This is a reference to how few fucks she gives about the children she has had since then, who might appreciate the inheritance.
4. In The Incredibles(2004), Bob Paar nearly kills his boss at Insuricare, outraged over his disregard for human life. This is framed as the beginning of his return to herodom.
5. In Wolf Of Wall Street (2013) this woman is considered unattractive.
6. In Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), Bridget Jones is considered too fat to be worthy of love by multiple characters. This is because the early 2000s were a nightmare.
7. The Austin Powers series is a parody of early James Bond movies, this is emphasised by the fact Austin respects a women’s consent.
8. In Arcane (2021) the creators, unaware that deaf people can see, have started including clothing descriptions in closed captions.
9. During the filming of Challengers (2024), they ripped Zendaya in half holy sh*t she’s dead oh my god.
10. “Joker” (2019) is just “Black Swan” (2010) for comic bros
11. This is 4 different movies.
12. In Jurassic World (2015), the theme park’s scientists were able to clone a mosasaur because 65 million years ago, a mosquito managed to suck the blood of this underwater marine dinosaur and preserve its DNA.
13. In The Bear, Jeremy Allen White is absolutely jacked as fuck. This is a reference that he is an actor, not an overworked chef who doesn’t go to the gym, smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and sleeps 3 hours a night.
14. In Subservience (2024) Alice is a robot butler that doesn’t need to brush her teeth because she has a UV sanitising system inside her mouth. This is weird because if she doesn’t eat food then what could possibly enter her orifices she might need to sanitize?
15. In S01E08 of Arcane (2021-2024), Caitlyn uses an ability that very few League of Legends players know about. This ability is called “Taking a Shower”
16. Actor Stellan Skarsgård revealed he never wore makeup during the filming of Dune 2 (2024). By following the eating and hygiene habits of the average Reddit mod, he was able to look like this within just 3 weeks.
17. In Ant-Man (2015), it was stated that your mass wouldn’t change after shrinking. The movie proceeded to ignore that by making an ant carry the weight of a grown ass man.
18. In Rocky Balboa(2006), a fighter who doesn’t have any real competition challenges 59yr old Rocky to come out of retirement to fight. It’s seen as a lose/lose situation for the younger boxer. This definitely not a reference to anything.
19. You don’t see awkward teenage boy characters in movies anymore. This is because these guys are too old to play those roles anymore, and the potential new ones become Twitch streamers instead.
20. In Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010), when I first watched this scene I didn’t understand the joke because I was a kid.
21. In I, Robot (2004), it was really convenient that the robots glowed bright red so we knew they were evil.
22. In Smile 2(2024)- sh*t, wait, wrong demon.
23. In The BATMAN (2021), The Riddler systematically murders a ring of powerful white collar criminals for embezzling money from an orphanage, causing several children to freeze to death in an abandoned crackhouse. Allegedly, he is the villain of this movie.
24. In Oppenheimer (2023) the prop guy was probably fired for using 50-star flags for a movie set in 1945.
25. In Dune (2021), two characters get the name of the planet wrong and nobody corrects them.
26. In The Batman (2022), Robert Pattinson has a shirtless scene. The fact this body type is seen as skinny and twink-looking shows how much the overuse of anabolics and dehydration in Hollywood has rotten people’s idea of a trained healthy male body.
27. In Elysium (2013) Matt Damon is radicalized by lack of access to healthcare and murders a heartless CEO.
28. The world of Snow White (2025) has three suns.
29. In Wicked (2024) The Wicked Witch of the West cries. This is impossible as water literally kills her. Oh, what a world, what a world.
30. In Elevation (2024) mankind is nearly wiped out by creatures that cannot attack above an elevation of 8000ft. The reason for their inability to attack above 8000ft is given by one of the lead characters: “We don’t know”. The writing in Elevation fucking sucks.
31.
32. In the movie Chef (2014) written by Jon Favreau, Jon Favreaus character used to be married to Sofia Vergara and is currently sleeping with Scarlett Johansen. This is because Jon Favreau wrote the movie.
33. In the trailer for Joker 2, Lady Gaga’s character says “Let’s give the people what they want”. Todd Phillips then proceeded to give the people possibly the worst sequel ever made.
34. In Home Alone (1990) Kevin’s mom goes on an exhausting journey to get back to Chicago, traveling on many flights and in a stranger’s van. This turns out to be totally pointless when the rest of the family show up 30 seconds after she makes it home.
35. In Inside Out 2, Riley, a hockey player, enters high school and immediately becomes an asshole and makes hockey her entire personality. This is a reference to hockey players IRL.
