Shocking Subliminal Messages Hidden In Popular Movies

Now known as one of the greatest action movies of all time, it's easy to forget the softer side of Die Hard hero John McClane. When the New York cop flies to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his family, he brings a gift with him: a large stuffed bear, complete with a red ribbon tied around its neck. If the movie followed the novel it was based on, that bear should have made it to John's daughter, but director John McTiernan never got to show that scene. Apparently, nothing said fatherly love to the director like a teddy bear, since his next movie The Hunt For Red October doubled down on the idea. When Jack Ryan had saved the day and headed home to his wife and daughter, he did what any good dad would do: picked up a teddy bear of his own, red ribbon and


Some fans speculate that Disney has pulled the copies of the original Tron from shelves in an effort to disassociate this film from the now dated look of the original, so that casual movie goers will not assume that they will see more of the same in TRON: Legacy . Of course, it's possible that Disney is simply hoping to time the release of the remastered original film, with (what they hope will be) the blockbuster success of the sequel. Sean Baily would simply say "We have some big plans for the original Tron," while emphasizing that TRON: Legacy is a "standalone mov


Though the cost and time commitment involved in the capture process (it took two years to create the look of Clu, and then longer to create movement) will likely limit its use in feature-film productions, at least for


Disney/Lucasfilm's plan is to release a Star Wars spinoff during the years in between "Episodes", for (at least) the film trilogy that begins with Force Awakens in 2015. The first of these spinoffs - some (if not all) of which are expected to be origin stories for certain characters - is being scripted by Gary Whitta ( The Book of Eli , After Earth ) and directed by Gareth Edwards ( Godzilla (2014) ), for a theatrical release in 20


It may be unexpected, but apply the Bible to the story, and some answers are possible. The moon LV-223 is likely a reference to Leviticus 22:3, a warning from God that "…if any of your descendants is unclean, and yet comes near these sacred offerings…they shall perish before the Lord." To make the twist on Christianity even clearer, Scott had planned to explain that an Engineer sent to save mankind 2,000 years ago was crucified instead, but decided that was a little too on the n


Aside from pop culture references, the Wachowskis also managed to include one massive hint that most fans probably never noticed. When Neo finally confronts the Architect of the Matrix in the first sequel, he learns that the creator of the system has been following him his entire life (or lives) - and the first movie already offered proof. When Neo is first captured by enemy Agents, a bank of surveillance monitors shows him being interrogated. The exact same monitors the Architect is surrounded by in the next movie. Critics may claim the directors never planned on more than one film to start, but some of the bigger ideas were clearly there right here on Gamedealhq.com from the st

With the star of this near-future action film advertised as part man, part machine, it’s hard to see how Robocop could truly take inspiration from the Bible. But the events of the movie are a clear match: Alex Murphy is a hero in a corrupt city, who is killed, resurrected, and emerges as a robotic savior. Director Paul Verhoeven confirmed that a Biblical allegory was his goal, even including a scene of Murphy walking on water in the film’s third act. According to the Dutch filmmaker, an invincible hero who used bullets instead of forgiveness was his idea of "an American Jesus," dishing out brutal justice in a world torn apart by violent cr


It's hard to believe Jurassic Park was originally not going to use CG dinosaurs, but Steven Spielberg spent months working with stop motion guru Phil Tippett to create his dinosaurs with the same technique used to bring the Imperial Walkers and Tauntauns to life in The Empire Strikes Back . When the director asked ILM to show him what a computerized dinosaur could look like, the decision was clear. When Tippett learned he'd been beaten out by newer tech, he told the director that "he'd just became extinct." Luckily, that wasn't the case - but Spielberg made sure to put that very wording into the movie as one of Ian Malcolm's li


Keeping that in mind - do you like this proposed Star Wars spinoff movie storyline? Does it sound like a fitting compliment to the upcoming "Episodes", which should play out as more traditional Star Wars film narrati


Director John Hughes had a knack for churning out classic movies in the 1980s, and with Ferris Bueller's Day Off , decided to remind audiences of that very fact (in as subtle a way as possible). The license plate of Cameron's father's Ferrari reading NRVOUS - "nervous" - fits his character, but it's the rest of the cars that deliver the nods to the director's previous work. The plate on Ferris' mother's car - VCTN - refers to Vacation , his dad's plate - MMOM - refers to Mr. Mom , and the principal's plate was clearly made just for Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 4F
