Next, I love this thread.

I believe that I and many others mentioned this many years back, but in the early days of the El Capitan theater I remember when Disney made a big deal out of the re-release of TRON on the big screen. My brother treated me to Tron at the El Capitan and one of the things that I never noticed before (and I had seen this film many times on VHS, it got a lot of play in my household, partly because my Dad was a computer genius) is that on one of the computer screens shown in the film you see the Pac Man character opening/closing its mouth as it is ready to chomp down on pellets/ghosts, and that got a nice chuckle from the theater audience. It was my first time seeing Tron on the big screen so stuff like that became noticeable and I also came out of the film with a new appreciation of how incredible Tron is as a film.

In fact, this Tron Pac Man sighting was probably brought up in this very thread, but that is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread was bumped.

That's funny, I just showed Tron to my kids yesterday and my 13 yo caught it right away. I even missed it and remember it being a lot more subtle and more of an easter egg but it was pretty obvious.

I never noticed the infamous scene in A New Hope where the stormtrooper clunks his head on the door. I think I didn't notice it until they added the sound effect. Which version was that?

I do absolutely love it that they leaned in to it and had Jango Fett do the same thing on the Slave 1 in Attack of the Clones. :lol:

Until the recent Honest Trailer, I didn't realize the school janitor is the same guy featured in the yearbook in The Breakfast Club.

Things you never noticed until a 2nd, 3rd and beyond viewing?

It’s funny, when I watch movies a second or third time I catch hints or glimpses, as mundane and irrelevant as it may be, I never realized were always there. Funny tidbits that just come to you or you see it different after your first viewing. Even after many viewings I catch things I never saw before. Happened the other day, but forgot which move, but I know I saw 3 or more times.

so what did you notice that you never noticed before when watching a movie multiple times?

I’ve seen the OT of X-Men all the time, but then I decided to do a marathon of all 7 films. The beginnings trilogy, the original trilogy and Dark Phoenix. Now, DP I’ve only saw once and thankful for it, but since I was doing the marathon, I started with the beginnings trilogy and then DP (since it fits in the timeline of beginnings. Is it considered the 4th in that series?) It really should, but I guess bc of how bad it was, it’s this separate entity in these films. I then just realized Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is the only one who was in all 7 films (most likely due to his seemingly immortality), even if it was just :30 seconds of screen time (First Class) or minutes of screen time. I love finding shit like that and find it funny the second time around. But, the only one. Great stuff.

But, I live shit like that. Finding something in movies after the first time.
