In one of Hitchcock’s thrillers, you can expect a powerful little pistol to make an appearance. In “North by Northwest,” the pistol in question, played by Eva Maria Saint, pulls out a handgun and fires at Cary Grant’s character, startling everyone in the crowded room.
However, not everyone was caught off-guard, as the picture above shows: one of the extras, a young boy, plugged his ears before-hand, even looking over his shoulder at the principal actors. Gunshots – and even blanks as were likely being used here – are incredibly loud, and it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that the filmmakers warned the boy to plug his ears.
"Aladdin": They Should Have Covered Up
To change iconic costumes that millions of people grew up with was a bold move. For some reason, Disney keeps making the same old mistake, and "Aladdin" was no different. The costume designers decided to more appropriately clothe each of the main characters for a 2019 film.
This meant that Aladdin wasn't running around with a vest and no shirt, and Jasmine would cover up her midriff, and the audiences were upset. You don't mess with classical Disney!
“The Avengers”: Cap's Armor is Undamaged
We're all aware of the incredible third act of the first “Avengers” movie, which has the entire team taking on an alien army. After two hours of in-fighting, they've finally meshed and worked together as the music swells. Hammers, shields, arrows, bullets, laser blasts, and big green fists go flying in every direction.
At one point, Captain America takes a hit to the gut, dumping him to the ground. Thor hauls him back up, and Cap's armor is scarred at the spot of the hit, but only a few minutes later, we see that the armor is once again whole and undamaged.
“The Goonies”: What Octopus?
The eighties adventure movie “The Goonies” had a pirate treasure, bad guys and girls, and lots more, turning it into one of the most memorable and well-liked movies for kids from the decade.
Near the end of the film, a member of the Goonies, Data, says that the scariest part was “the octopus.” However, if you caught the movie in the theaters, there was no octopus around. Was Data just adding an embellishment? As it turns out, no – there really was an octopus scene left out of the theatrical release. The producers added it back in for the Disney Channel version.
“The Fast and the Furious”: Tran Changing Shirts
Before the shift in filmmaking, this famous movie series was all about racing cars and pulling off stunts. It's still mostly about that, but now it has lots of heists, too. In the very first movie, we get a practically unmissable wardrobe mistake, though thankfully not one that has to be censored later on.
In the scene where Jesse and Tran race, in one shot, Tran is wearing a shirt with sleeves, but in the very next shot, he has a tank top. Did he tear off his out clothing in order to weigh him down less? Was it a bad camera angle? The filmmakers aren't saying.
