Film Flubs and Hidden Things

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

What are some of the creepiest, weirdest, or worst film flubs or hidden things in movies?

 

Whether or not they are real what intrigues you in movies that isn't supposed to be there?

 

I know some of the Disney things aren't true, but I know the Priest in the Little Mermaid does have a woody. Some people say it's his knee, but that's the edited version because I've seen the version where it sticks out farther and wobbles around.

 

What are some other ones you've seen?

What about the box of Little Mermaid? I remember there were cocks all over the place on that thing.

 

As far as IN the movie, the ghost in Three Men and a Baby is a good one.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I've never actually seen the Box.

 

Yeah the "ghost" in "Three Men..." was pretty cool even though it was just that cardboard cut out he had.

I still hold on to the opinion that it's a ghost, it makes me feel weird.

[Guest Downhome]

By the way, I KNOW it's not, but I must hold on to the belief that it is, ya know. Here ya go...

 

 

...I just love that, heh. By the way, here's this...

 

 

...must, still, believe!

You know what would make this thread cool? If we could find pictures of some of these things and share them in this thread for those who have never seen them.

 

Wow that picture makes it pretty obvious it's the cut out since it's actually between the curtains and the window.......instead of outside the window like people claimed before.

I remember the day that the penis box story broke. I went to the video store to check it out. I found the box on the shelf and sure enough, it looked like a penis chilling on the castle. Pretty soon a clerk came over to see what was going on. I showed it to him, he laughed and called other workers over. Soon other customers would come over, more workers. Soon there was a big circle of people all around the Disney section looking at this Little Mermaid box cause there was something that looked like a cock on it and giggling like a bunch of little girls. The whole store just kinda came to a stand still.

 

Here it is...

The "ghost" in "3 Men And A Baby" is just a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson's character.

Not sure if this fits, but the worst film fuck up I can think of is the revolver that shot eight shots in I Still Know

We can't forget in The Lion King, where the dust spell S-E-X...

 

 

...you have to look closely, but it's there.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

yeah that will fit.

 

I'm looking for all sorts of flubs and screw ups.

 

But I especially want hidden things cause they creep me out.

[Guest Anglesault]

We can't forget in The Lion King, where the stars spell S-E-X...

 

 

...you have to look closely, but it's there.

Oh, come on!

 

It's like backmasking. I never would have seen that unless you pointed it out.

A 4 year old figured it out, that's how this one got famous I do believe. His aunt or something then told a religious organazation, and then it took off.

Topless woman in Disney's "The Rescuers"

Actually it was explained that is said "SFX" which was the initials of one of the animation departments at Disney.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Seeing some of this disney stuff is just gold. Nice to view the actual images too, since I never saw any of the 'infamous' Disney flubs.

[Guest Lethargic]

What about the subliminal messages in the old Alf cartoon?

Uh, is that a freaking real screenshot?

You have to tilt your head just to see it. You have to be LOOKING for it.

 

And I'm watching the Rescuers right now.

 

I'm a huge Disney fan.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

There's a part in Aladdin (right after he steps off the carpet onto the princess' balcony) where if you turn the volume way up, you can hear him say "Good teenagers, take off your clothes." And if you play that backwards, it says "I just want to fuck." Freaky.

So is the Hanging Man in The Wizard of OZ true? I heard it was just a bird, but most people say the man is on the right.......the bird is on the left.

[Guest Downhome]

We have this clip from The Wizard of Oz, which shows the suicide of one of the munchkins, which was proven as false. It still looks cool though, heh.

So is the Hanging Man in The Wizard of OZ true? I heard it was just a bird, but most people say the man is on the right.......the bird is on the left.

Good lord, of course not. Let this explain it, instead of me...

 

Claim: A lovelorn actor portraying one of the munchkins hanged himself on the set during the filming of The Wizard of Oz, and his death was captured on-camera and used in the final print.

Status: False.

 

Claim: The so-called "munchkin suicide" scene occurs at the very end of the Tin Woodsman sequence, as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodsman head down the road on their way to the Emerald City. This sequence begins with Dorothy and the Scarecrow trying to pick fruit from the talking apple trees, encompasses their discovery of the rusted tin man and their encounter with the Wicked Witch of the West (who tries to set the Scarecrow on fire), and ends with the trio heading off to Oz in search of the Wizard. To give the indoor set used in this sequence a more "outdoors" feel, several birds of various sizes were borrowed from the Los Angeles Zoo and allowed to roam the set. (A peacock, for example, can be seen wandering around just outside the Tin Woodsman's shack while Dorothy and the Scarecrow attempt to revive him with oil.) At the very end of this sequence, as the three main characters move down the road and away from the camera, one of the larger birds (often said to be an emu, but more probably a crane) standing at the back of the set moves around and spreads its wings. No munchkin, no hanging -- just a big bird.

 

The unusual movement in the background of the scene described above was noticed years ago, and it was often attributed to a stagehand's accidentally being caught on the set after the cameras started rolling (or, more spectacularly, a stagehand's falling out of a prop tree into the scene). With the advent of home video, viewing audiences were able to rewind and replay the scene in question, view it in slow-motion, and look at individual frames in the sequence (all on screens smaller and less distinct than those of theaters), and imaginations ran wild. The change in focus of the rumor from a hapless stagehand to a suicidal munchkin (driven to despair over his unrequited love for a female munchkin) seems to have coincided with the heavy promotion and special video re-release of The Wizard of Oz in celebration of its 50th anniversary in 1989: someone made up the story of a diminutive actor who, suffering the pangs of unrequited love for a female "little person," decided to end it all right there on the set, and soon everyone was eager to share this special little film "secret" with others. Since (grossly exaggerated) tales of munchkin lechery and drunken misbehavior on the "Oz" set had been circulating for years (primarily spread by Judy Garland herself in television talk show appearances), the wild suicide story had some seeming background plausibility to it. (Other versions of the rumor combined elements from both explanations, such as the claim that the strange figure was actually a stagehand hanging himself.)

 

The logistics of this alleged hanging defy all credulity. First of all, the forest scenes in The Wizard of Oz were filmed before the Munchkinland scenes, and thus none of the munchkin actors would have been present. And whether one believes that the figure on the film is a munchkin or a stagehand, it is simply impossible that a human being could have fallen onto a set actively being used for filming, and yet none of the dozens of people present -- actors, directors, cameramen, sound technicians, light operators -- failed to notice or react to the occurrence. (The tragic incident would also had to have been overlooked by all the directors, editors, film cutters, musicians, and others who worked on the film in post-production as well.) That anyone could believe a scene featuring a real suicide would have been left intact in a classic film for over fifty years is simply incredible.

 

Additional information: The sound clip below is commentary about the munchkin rumor by Oz expert John Fricke, taken from the soundtrack of The Ultimate Oz laserdisc set. The video clip show several seconds of the scene in question -- watch the middle of the screen as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodsman head down the Yellow Brick Road.

 

...and there you go.

[Guest Lethargic]

Wasn't the Rescuers thing just few years ago? It wasn't on the real movie in the theaters but when they put out a new home video version somebody put that in, it got recalled almost immediately and took out. That's what I remember anyway.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

well I watched that Wizard of Oz clip and it is just a bird, but man that's creepy if you don't know what it is.

 

Right after Scarecrow ducks down if you keep your eyes right on the dead center of the screen between those two trees you see something that looks like it's swinging.....it's one of the birds they put on the set flapping it's wings, but since it's far off and on the TV screen it's small, it looks like something else.

As far as the teenagers/clothes thing, click here to hear it in normal speed and click here to hear it slow. It sure as hell sounds like it to me, but it isn't.

 

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Donald Duck apparently screems to Daffey Duck...

 

"God damn stupid ni**er! I'm gonna WAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

 

...but, again, it isn't, but it sure sounds like it! Just click here to check it out.
