Top 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Famous Movies 

Love your content

​@@danielsantiagourtado3430I have watched Rocky on Netflix and I was bored beyond belief it's so slow moving and barely anything happens in the plot.

Should have included the Wizard of Oz and the munchkin hanging from a tree.

How do movie myths that were actually true!! It seems like you could probably do a series out of both of those!!

@@montecorbit8280 I don't think that I know much of any that turned out to be real but it will definitely be interesting to learn about.

That movie is like a breeding ground for Mandela Effects.

it was a bird in the background

I am aware of what it really is. The myth however was a munchkin hung himself. Just a myth no facts@@noiamyourfather1104

​@noiamyourfather1104 that's what Hollywood wants you to believe

That's true

No, it came from comedians and late night talk show host. The misquote started back then and then they did it in movies parodies. Then people because of the Rashomon Effect took it took far.

No no it was Luke I am your father have it on vhs and that’s still the line. Luke I am your father.

@@corymarshbanks7143 Interesting, maybe I'll have to check my VHS as well

​@@corymarshbanks7143 No you don't.

@@mogwaimofo wanna bet on that

“Not officially” haha. That is great. Friday The 13th 1 and 2 are classically non-consistent because Jason drowned in the first one as a boy. Jason is a fully grown man in part 2 very much alive. They never actually filled in the gaps where you wonder, “Was his mother fooled into thinking Jason died even though she was talking to his ghost? Or, was she just schizophrenic? Maybe Jason really was dead while Camp Crystal Lake’s curse gave everyone nightmares.” These are questions that nobody can fully answer….just the way horror fans love it!

And that he teleport but nah he’s just jacked

@@benjaminA.stantonpun You don't have to die to drown. And probably yes, Pamela probably did "fool" herself as her son fended for himself in the wilderness. Remember Jason's drowning did drive her crazy. Apparently a really short trip.

Yea. He just popped out of the water after a long nap

@@chriswills936 Well, he can swim. Not really well, mind you...

They even show it and say it in the movie. They both try to climb on top only for the piece of wreckage to start to topple over. Then Jack stops another guy approaching by saying "There's just enough for this lady, we'll push it under".

We are seeing Old Rose's narration 86 years later. It is perfectly reasonable that her memory would be a little fuzzy about details like how big the door was or why it could not support Jack too.

James Cameron recently funded an experiment to determine if Jack could have used the door to survive. It was aired as a special on National Geographic, and James admits that based on a specific scenario it would have been possible for Jack to use the door to survive, but it still would be very unlikely and Jack wouldn't risk Rose's life on it.

@@timebleeder2814 James guested on Mythbusters years ago when dealing with this Myth and they proved then that both of them could've survived on the one piece.

@@darrenlee4455 - Yes, but only if they tied their life jackets underneath it.

But when exactly is after midnight?

And when is before midnight? This always got me.

I was looking for someone else ago was bothered by this. Stripe (as a gremlin) went to the YMCA and jumped into the pool to make more. The sunlight ultimately killed the gremlins at the end of the movie.

There are 4 rules. The 4th being eating a mogwai gives the person eternal life. And yes, that *is* canon.

@@adessa97 There is a very good reason the "after midnight" rule is so confusing. Humans edited the rule to after midnight instead of leaving it how it was said by Rixi (who created the rules for Mowgai).

An emu, IIRC. Apparently some "exotic" animals were in the background of some scenes to give the "set somewhere else" vibe.

what about rambo first blood it was only called first blood

For marketing reasons Lucasfilm and Paramount, not Disney, changed the title of the film for the 1999 VHS THX release. This coincided with the release of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on VHS which also added chapters of the episodes including the original Indiana Jones trilogy. I think this is when a large portion of people realized that Temple of Doom was actually a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark as Temple was listed as Chapter 23 and Raiders as chapter 24.

@@noiamyourfather1104 That one has ALWAYS bugged me. The original Trilogy was: First Blood Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (co-written by James Cameron, btw), and then Rambo 3 So what happened to Rambo 2?

I have never once ran into someone who calls it "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark." Not ONCE in my 46 years. It's always been called Raiders of the Lost Ark. Or simply just Raiders for the lazy people.

I see it here and there with reaction videos on RU-vid.

No one does. Mojo is just lazy. ALL of these are famously well know. MAYBE 20 or 30 years ago SOME of these weren't as well known, but nowadays everyone knows these factoids (the original meaning of the term, i.e. an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact. Kind of like how the term "factoid" came to mean "little fact" by being used incorrectly for so long even though we already have a word for that: trivia.)

​@@delpullen730Did you know that Mark Hammil and Robert Englund used to be roommates and are still close friends. That's my favorite weird little "factoid:* Luke Skywalker and Freddy Krueger are buddies!?!

I knew it and when I watched scream for the first time I knew exactly what ghost face was gonna say

I did, until I was at least in my late 20s. Never saw Friday the 13th, was only 10 when Scream came out, and was never all that interested in horror movies. So I knew bits and pieces about them through pop culture osmosis, but not the finer details. Like, I knew there were two killers in Scream and that one of them was played by Matthew Lillard; I knew there was a fakeout opening with Drew Barrymore, but I didn't even know there *was* a quiz in that opening, etc.

I've never seen Scream. I know Jason wasn't the original killer, but I watched the film. Consider that a 30 year old today would not have been around when the film came out, and likely has not seen it. They just associate Jason with Friday the 13th and would assume that he was the killer in the franchise, period, not knowing the history. What you believe doesn't matter, what actually is matters. The number of people I actually have spoken to who think that Chucky was created from the recent TV series and had no idea a movie franchise exists...it would shock you. Believe it or not.

Even this video got it wrong. Only feeding them after midnight chases Mogwais to Gremlins. Water makes them multiply and sunlight kills them.

But what constitutes, "After midnight?" It's always after midnight if you think about it. Is there a window of time where you can feed them? Is okay to feed them an hour or two after? And are timezones a factor?

@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 Gremlins 2 actually has a minor character ask that. It was even featured in TV spots. He straight up says, "It's always midnight somewhere," right before a gremlin bursts out of the console he's working at and attacks him.

@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 The actual rule is don't feed them when the moon is at it's highest peak. Humans changed the rule to midnight, which explains why the "after midnight" is so ambiguous.

Maybe if you feed a Gremlin after midnight it will be even worse

Also, in TOS episode 'The Squire of Gothos' he said, "Beam me up, Mr Scott.".

@@Trev359 Also, "One to beam up, Scotty".

Many of these misquotes are from parodies or re-enactments that people forgot about.

Dr SPOCK is why kids grew up to be brats

You don't think that that's just an homage to both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th? There are people that desperately want others to be wrong to elevate themselves. But, an homage isn't rooted in a 100% accurate depiction.

the trailer caused the confusion

It's because media satirizes the whole thing in a different way because probably sounds funnier and stuff! And we get the wrong idea about those lines and stuff happening in a movie or something else regarding this kind of media! Especially with internet those years its hard to follow many times,and you can easily forget important bits & dots in general!

Hell no.

I think the "Luke, I am your father!" misquote counts more as paraphrasing. It's said that way to highlight who is talking.

indeed... it´s sad enough as it is... judging by "the crow" he could givern us many great performances....

The misremembered rumor about The Crow that gets me the most is that he's confused with a different actor on a different movie who was playing with a gun with blanks and was fatally wounded. People often cite that incident as this one and it angers me.

@@Terahnee that one sounds like Jon Erik Hexum on the set of the TV series "Cover-up"

I miss Kansas, Toto. And Boston, Chicago, The Doobies, Foreigner, Styx. . .

Laughing

No one has ever got it wrong. Where are you getting this from?

@@abegarfield7031 It's called the Mandela effect. It's like when people remember Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father", but he actually said "No, I am your father".

Die Hard, one of the best Christmas movies.

Lethal Weapon doesn't count as a Christmas movie because it being Christmas is a coincidence and not integral to the plot. Christmas os however integral to the plot of Die Hard. It being Christmas is the only reason John McClane is in L.A. He came to spend Christmas with his family.

@@timebleeder2814 actually it's not Christmas movie. It's coincidence. It set up that way. Don't remember how. But it's awesome to watch😀

@@timebleeder2814 *You're right. The fact that the movie opens and closes with Christmas songs is purely coincidence.* 😁👍

The difference is, Lethal Weapon's Christmas was just background while Die Hard it was front and center.

Plus that to those who have mostly seen the third and fourth movie, in which he's several times referred to as the champion, it can be easy to assume that he became the champion in the original movie, and that the second movie is somewhat obscure in comparison As for me, I was naive enough to watch "Rocky Balboa" first, then watched the original, and I assumed that Rocky won in the latter due to being called a champion in the former. It wasn't until years later that I finally saw Rocky II

I really liked the first one because of this. he didn't have to "win" when he already won in his own mind, doing what he wanted to accomplish. He went the distance, which is what he ultimately set out to do, to prove it to himself that he could do it. When Apollo said "There ain't gonna be a rematch", Rocky replied: "Don't want one." THAT proved it to me that getting the title wasn't what Rocky was after. Rocky did what he had set out to do, and was satisfied. Which is also why I never bothered watching the second one. Everything I read about it suggests to me that it was little more than Rocky 1.5, in that everything that should have/would have happened in the first one, happens in the sequel. He gets the title. He marries Adrienne and has a baby. He becomes more famous/well known. That's the logical outcome of the first one, really. The first true sequel (in my eyes, anyway) is the third one, where things happen that turn his entire world upside down, provide him with different challenges.

@elzibiel Well, I wouldn't say "Rocky II" is just an alternative version of the original. He gets married, but he also squanders most of his prize money (like most people who aren't used to handling huge sums of money), and he's way too uneducated and incompetent to do a regular white collar or blue collar job, so the stakes are raised: either he goes back in the ring (despite his health issues), or he falls into poverty with his now wife and new-born son. Apollo meanwhile is angry at people publicly shaming him for not "beating Rocky", and his kids now getting bullied in school because of it. He therefore demands a rematch and becomes more of a threat since he's way more serious than last time, but it's ultimately pride that leads to his downfall: he dominates Rocky throughout most of their rematch, and he could easily have won again by split decision if he just "danced around" during the last rounds. However, because he demands that he wins by knock-out, he tires himself out and gets knocked out himself, losing his title. On the other hand, his loss becomes a catalyst for him wanting to lift Rocky up again after the latter loses the title in the third movie So, while I will always prefer the original, I still respect "Rocky II" for what it does

@elzibiel I'm not really a fan of the second movie being referred to as Rocky 1.5. I've seen it referred to that multiple times and completely disagree. It's trying to tell 2 important stories. It continues to tell the love story of Rocky and Adrienne, reinforcing Rocky's love and respect for her. He won't even get back in the ring without her blessing. The other story is Apollo. You learn what makes him the champ and get to see "killer" Apollo. And like MorganKing95 said, he's much more of a threat and makes for a tougher fight for Rocky. And by the time of the fight, neither man can afford to lose. So I would say that Rocky 2 just builds on the things already established in the first movie. I strongly suggest watching it and deciding for yourself. I am biased, though. I love all the movies except for Rocky Balboa, so maybe I'm just a fan boy lol

Shows where people's minds are - ie in the gutter.

He was a child of Mother Night and an unspecified "Father." You can interpret Father as being Satan if you need the movie to be a Christian parable. But, I don't recall any part of the setting indicating that it was a monotheistic world nor a Christian one. It's more probably that Darkness is the son of Night and Evil (or Chaos or some similar abstraction). Based the portrayal, it also isn't inaccurate to label Darkness a devil. Given the makeup and set design for Darkness, it certainly borrows from ideas of the Devil and Hell. So, people will conflate Darkness with Satan; however, there's no indicator that Darkness is the child of Satan. So, you're no more accurate than the people you're complaining about.

@@VaultBoy13 In the original script it was Satan.

Certainly, the script is one thing, the final movie another...

It'd be funny if they changed into something even worse.

But neither had a reason to know that.

@@bbsy1 Exactly they're not physicists or scientists testing buoyancy 😂

But was Jack wearing a life jacket? He sank when she let him go.🤔 I think only she had a life jacket.

Jack wasn't wearing a lifejacket.

​@@pattierotondo1108There was a shortage of lifejackets on Titanic (a historical fact) making Jack not having one very conceivable.

what moron thinks jason used a chainsaw leather face uses a chainsaw not jason

He's only used a power tool once. Part 7. IT was a weed whacker outfitted with a circular saw blade.

@@matts1166 Oo! I remember that thing being in the trai8ler for the movie. And, I believe, it was used to dispatch that PoS psychologist (or whatever he was).

@@BronyNumber4096 There was a trailer for Part 5 that had a chainsaw revving up, but that was a red herring, as it was someone else using it against the "non-Jason."

My dads cousin Glenn Randall trained and drove the team of white horses ( Andalusian horses not actually Arabians).

I don't think you need to be a scientist to know that life jackets are buoyant. That is kind of the point.

It was a rain machine and although they produce a realistic effect, realistic isn't always good enough. Milk was added to the water to make it more visible. It's the way the effect has always been achieved until very recently.

When I finally watched the first movie I was surprised Jason isn't the killer but I was well aware of the character. And he doesn't wear the hockey mask until 3 (I think). People who watch videos like these will learn about the twists but if you haven't, then it is a surprise.

Great movie star Gone too soon

A second tragically early death for the family. I was due to see him at a Bruce Lee convention a couple of months later. Hid death appeared in the Sun on 1st April, so I waited until it was verified elsewhere before I could believe it. Like his father before him he had only begun to tap into his great promise as a film star and went out leaving his best role for us to watch posthumously. RIP.

Me because I've never seen it. Just random clips are quoted throughout pop culture and media.

Aside from the reveal, there were hints during the movie that showed this. For starters, Jason's hockey mask had red markings while Roy's mask had blue markings.

That's more of a literary misconception though, since it goes back to the original novel.

Oooo yeah... that's a good one!

It's not commonly mistaken. The monster has been commonly referred to as Frankenstein for close to 200 years starting about 10 years after the original release of the book. The monster is never actually given a name in the book so society just kind of made a collective unconscious decision to refer to the monster as Frankenstein and the creator as Dr. or Victor Frankenstein. The monster is essentially Dr. Frankenstein's child and Europeans pass the family name on thus the monster inherited the name of its father Frankenstein. The monster has also been referred to or just strait up named Frankenstein in many properties since Mary Shelley's book came out.

@@timebleeder2814 you're right on those things but as you said the creature wasn't given a name and that Frankenstein was the name of the scientist that made it but it just feels like a mistake that people make, calling the monster Frankenstein

@@arlfiftyfourtd8132 Literaly the true monster is Dr. Victor Frankenstein and not his creation.

which is weird because James Cameron brought it to the MythBusters to coincide with the re-release for the film's anniversary. Got the answer that both could have fit and then decided that he didn't care.

George wrote the original script for A New Hope but not the script used for shooting the movie. The shooting script was a collaboration between George, Gloria Katz, and Willard Huyck.

He can tell as many lies as he wants, but it was his diet and lack of exercise that nearly caused a heart attack.

In fact Rocky II starts right after the fight and the whole point of the movie is how Rocky lost but "deserved" a win.

I've heard a lot of people over the years saying it was a draw, which is kind of understandable but certainly not a win.

@@Jalex0021 it didn't matter about their personal opinion on how the fight should've been called or if they thought Rocky deserved a win or draw... Everyone who's seen the movie knows Apollo was announced the winner of the fight and I don't know anyone who's seen the movie who remembers otherwise.

Me too

Same here.

I always thought Edna was inspired by Fashion Editor, Anna Wintour.

@@thesovereign4218 Everyone has had a different amount of exposure to different aspects of various cultures, so it is only natural for there to be so many different varying opinions.

you mean murdock from the second Rambo movie charles napier

​@@noiamyourfather1104 he's a space hippie you HERBERT

Charles Napier's character Lt. Boyle isn't the one who had his face cut off. Sgt. Pembry played by Alex Coleman was the one who got his face cut off. Lt. Boyle was the one hanging from the cell in the bloody eagle. And they weren't prison guards(corrections officers), they were police officers. Incidentally Charles Napier's greatest film role is of Tucker McElroy in The Blues Brothers Movie.

@@andrewblanchard2398 funny because Charles Napier plays a space hippie in Star Trek TOS episode The Way to Eden.

Working on it!

While I completely agree with you about Irvin Kershner directing The Empire Strikes back I have to disagree about Return of the Jedi. Kershner and Lucas butted heads alot during the entire production of Empire to the point that Kershner said he would never work for Lucas again and Lucas stating he would never hire kershner for another project. That is why Lucas turned to Richard Marquand to direct Return of the Jedi. Marquand was a new director, if Jedi wasn't his directorial debut it was definitely his highest profile at the time. Lucas walked all over him during production of Jedi and also oversaw the final edit of Jedi which Kershner refused of Lucas for Empire.

@@scottstark5528 i can understand that return of the Jedi isn't on the level of the first Two, but Lucas stated on the commentary of the film that he was grateful that he hired Marquand because he thought he nailed the dramatic scenes between Luke and Vader better than he could ever do himself, which obviously was the best part of the movie!

apparently he was leading the casting; and he told one actress... "more like this" as Edna and she basically looked at him, looked at the art they'd provided and asked him, 'Why don't you just do the voice'... I forget if she was frustrated with "take 37?" in an audition or if was a sincere "I would see a movie with that voice work

My mom constantly believes in that misconception

That line is a Mr T catchphrase not a B.A. Baraccus catchphrase. If I had to name a B.A. Baraccus line it would probably be "I ain't getting on no plane".

He did say it in Rocky III. In a pre-match interview at the rematch when asked if he hates Rocky he says, "I don't hate Balboa but I pity the fool."

@@Rockhound6165 You just repeated what the OP said in the last paragraph

yep

so true....

Nah, it's just because it's misquoted so often that it's entered the cultural lexicon. And most people haven't seen the movie super recently and just misremember it. No one who actually hears the line is going to mistake it, but human memory is notoriously flimsy.

@@Ashfold_Eberesche this is true, on that last bit

Not sure where you heard that. He has pictures of himself with them as recently as a few years ago, since he's owned them for over 40 years. A quick search online will bring up the pics.

This is a little bit of both, though. Hooper was the credited director, but there was a conflict clause Spielberg had with ET. A lot of the cast have stood up for Hooper to protect his reputation, but in 2017 the cameramen on the film said it was Spielberg running the show. Anyone that's watched Hooper's other films and Spielberg's catalog, it's quite obvious whose fingerprints are on Poltergeist.

@@Bad_Wolf_Media that i actually have to agree with

what about the LITTLE MERMAID ?

@@andrewblanchard2398 The original VHS cover had a golden "tower" that looked too close to something else that it couldn't have been a coincidence. Those original tapes got recalled, and then Disney released a newer cover without it. Google "Little Mermaid Golden Tower".

The makers of Gremlins thought it was funny people took the rules that seriously. For them, it was a comedy just with horror elements in it.

selective hearing happens with songs too

Classic plot holes...

It’s from the beginning of the day (midnight) until dawn. So yes it would change based on time zone.

Agreed - the point was that he was the underdog who, through extreme dedication and training, competed against the best for the full 15 rounds and came close enough to have a split decision on points. No one thought he had a chance, and he came that close and therefore was a winner even though he lost the match. Hell, I haven't even SEEN the film and I know this.

@@Ashfold_Eberesche See it at least once. My *mom* made me watch it, and that's saying a lot.

He goes fifteen rounds without being knocked out by the world champion, a monumental feat.
