Every fan of Disney and Pixar knows to keep an eye out for the code "A113," the room number that the studio's top animators all studied in when attending the California Institute of the Arts. But it doesn't stop at animated movies. When Brad Bird graduated from directing movies like The Incredibles and Ratatouille to Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol , he made sure to give a nod to his roots. Watch closely, and you'll spot the code on a trick ring used by IMF agents to inject a sleeping drug into their unsuspecting tar


The idea that humanity’s idea of reality is decaying, or is already erased wasn’t a totally original thought when The Matrix hit theaters. Once Neo is removed from his artificial life, Morpheus shows him the world as it really is - welcoming him "to the desert of the real." That line is taken word for Game Key price compare|https://Gamedealhq.com/ word from "Simulacra and Simulation" by philosopher Jean Baudrillard, a book that can be seen in Neo’s apartment. Considering his search for meaning, it’s no coincidence that the book is opened to a chapter "On Nihilism" - the belief that… all beliefs are meaningless. Eventually, the philosophy changes, with Neo accepting that he is "The One," and even being resurrected by the ‘Holy Trini


Plenty of cash was spent on the special effects of Pearl Harbor , but apparently, either director Michael Bay or the special effects team decided they still had room for some fun. Once the movie made it to home video, fans starting noticing a standout extra among the wounded sailors. As strange as it may seem, it appears that Bruce Willis' tough-as-nails cop John McClane has been spliced out of Die Hard , and into the WWII-era drama. Since the footage of a bruised, battered McClane in an undershirt isn't an exact match to any Die Hard scene, some skeptics say it's all coincidence. But the size and perspective shows it's clearly an added digital effect, and one that can never be missed once it's pointed


Directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord beat the odds when they made a movie about LEGO a worldwide hit. The film even included Superman and Green Lantern, played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, the stars of their previous surprise hit, the rebooted 21 Jump Street . It wasn't the only nod to the story of undercover cops, though. When Emmet's apartment is first shown, a poster can be seen advertising the movie "Teen Copz," an obvious reference to Jump Stre


Long before Anna, Elsa, and Olaf became household names, the makers of Frozen had a party to plan. Being named Queen of Arrendale may have stressed Elsa out, but it also meant the gates of the castle would finally be opened to villagers and visiting guests. Two of which might be familiar to Disney fans: Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, the stars of Disney's Tangl


James Cameron's 3D blockbuster smash may have taken audiences to an alien world, but it begins at home, in a futuristic Earth. Actually, Avatar begins in a dream sequence, with the movie’s hero Jake Sully explaining that his sleep has become filled with visions of flying ever since he was wounded in combat, opening his eyes every morning to find he's still confined to a wheelchair. His adventure on the planet Pandora piloting an artificially-grown human/Na-vi hybrid allows him to do more than fly, successfully defending the planet from his own side’s forces. The final shots of the movie mirror the beginning directly, showing Jake once again opening his eyes – this time, to a new body, a new people, and a new purpose. To take things further, the end credits are run over the exact same shots of flying as Jake's first dr


Director Martin Scorsese wasn’t exactly subtle with the tension and terror of Cape Fear , the story of a convicted criminal who seeks revenge on the lawyer who put him there, terrorizing him and his family, particularly his teenage daughter. Beginning the movie with chilling music and a blood red close-up on the daughter’s eyes warns audiences that the story she’s about to recount is a violent and truly unsettling one, due in large part to Robert De Niro’s acclaimed performance as the film’s villain. The family survives in the end, with the lawyer successfully killing his former client - but the damage has been done. To remind viewers that Cape Fear is as much about the loss of innocence as it is about revenge or protecting your family, the film returns to the "spared" daughter, this time fading from innocent white to red – and keeping audiences from feeling too good about its happy end


However, in the case of Peter Jackson's King Kong remake, the director included a tongue-in-cheek message for savvy moviegoers who actually took the time to do translation work. Just before reaching Skull Island, SS Venture captain Englehorn intercepts a coded message calling for the arrest of Carl Denham (Jack Black). Yet the audible code does not actually say anything about an arrest and instead reads: " Show me the monkey! " - a campy hidden message in honor of the film's titular ape that will probably make readers think twice the next time they see morse code depicted on scr
