If you’re trying to impress a movie lover, these are not the facts you should repeat. In fact, I wouldn’t say any of this to anyone.
Probably, you should stick to knowing these deadpan, obvious, and downright fake facts about movies were simply made for fun. Not everyone has an encyclopedic knowledge of film trivia.
Frankly, that’s what IMDB is for. That, and looking up where you’ve seen that hot actor in the show you’re currently watching.
Thankfully, not everyone is pretentious. The good people of the Reddit forum r/shittymoviedetails compile fake movie facts that you can use to make anyone laugh.
Here are the funniest and worst dumb movie facts on the internet today:
1. It is widely believed by fans that in the first Spider-Man movie Norman Osborn, father of Harry Osborn, and the Green-Goblin, are the same person.
2. In the Spider-Man no way home trailer you have to suspend your disbelief when you see teenagers reading a newspaper, this after all is a fictional marvel movie.
3.
4. In The Suicide Squad (2021) one of the chapter titles is shown in the form of fire and smoke. This is a reference to the fact that Harley Quinn is smoking hot.
5. In Titanic (1997), there are a lot of similarities between the old lady’s story and what happens to Rose, implying they might be the same person.
6. An American Psycho fact.
7. In Joker (2019) we see manslaughter followed by man’s laughter.
8. In the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer, although both Wong and Strange are wearing coats due to the cold, neither of them are wearing hats. This is because they are sorcerers, and a sorcerer is a wizard without a hat.
9. In American Psycho 2 (2002), the main character has her legs amputated and replaced with mechanical wheel-legs. You can’t prove me wrong because nobody on earth has actually seen this movie.
10. A fun fact about The Matrix.
11. In Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) you can see Barbara (Kristen Wiig) turning into a cheetah. This is a reference to the movie cats (2019) and a slight nod to the fact that both movies sucked balls.
12. In the 2007 remake of Halloween, the principal finds a dead cat in Michael Myers’ backpack. This is a reference to how my cat, Chip, died 7 years ago. I miss you little buddy.
13. In Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Steve Rogers uses a trash can lid to defend himself. This is direct foreshadowing that he will one day work with a raccoon who eats garbage.
14. In “Psycho” (1960), the titular psycho is revealed to the audience when she steps into the shower naked BEFORE testing and adjusting the water temperature.
15. Did you know this about The Princess Bride?
16. Another fun fact about The Matrix.
17. In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) Margot Robbie is shown to be barefoot. This is intentional on the directors part because Sharon Tate liked being barefoot IRL. Tarantino loves accuracy and that is definitely the reason.
18. Weird but true fact about Doctor Strange.
19. In Transformers (2007), Shia LaBeouf gives handjob to Bumblebee every time he shifts gears.
