Just this past Christmas, I watched Laurel & Hardy March of the Wooden Soldiers for the thousandth time.

I never realized that

I've seen Die Hard dozens of times at it wasn't until my last viewing a few months ago that I noticed there is actually a portion of the movie where McClane decides to hide from the terrorists and wait for the police to handle the situation. It wasn't until the police got themselves in trouble that McClane reluctantly steps back up to help.

I watched American Graffiti last night for the first time in a while and noticed that one of the cars in the movie has the license plate "THX 138".

Marty does a lot of it - check out the scene in the Departed when Jack hands Matt the money in the store as well as the end stabbing in Gangs of New York.

I missing a ton of others.

Why? I have no idea but these just look like things that could easily be taken care of but there they are.

i actually just watched gangs of new york last night and didnt notice anything odd with the last stabbing except the blood spatter.
What about Jacks hands in Departed?

I'm not sure if it's the same scene, but in heat the bank is a one story bank that was located in Century City but has recently been demolished and is empty now (though I'm sure another sky scraper is going up soon. It was located just around the corner from the old Tripps/Century Club and a block down the street (north) of the big hotel the president usually stayed at when in town. And that hotel is just a block north of the Die Hard Nokitomi building.

No, that must be something else. The bank they rob is obviously downtown (at least the exterior is) and from the inside is more than one floor off the ground, unless they used some sort of background plate for outside the windows (which seems unlikely).

I watched UHF on VHS probably a hundred times and never noticed RJ looking through the window at Stanley during the "pizza delivery kidnapping" scene. I noticed it the first time I watched it on DVD.

The scene when they come out of the bank and the cops are waiting for them with the street blocked off is on Ave. of the Stars, the bank I'm pretty sure is the building in/near the shadow on the aerial image on mapquest.com at 1950-1970 Ave. of the Stars, Century City, CA.

You can see the Die Hard building just SW of Olympic and Ave. of the Stars.

Sorry to keep harping on this, but in the commentary Michael Mann says that they shot downtown. Plus, it has downtown addresses listed on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113277/locations

I don't think it lists everything, but the exterior bank scene with the big shootout WAS filmed on Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, CA 90067, which is Century City. They come out a building on the East side of the street between Santa Monica Blvd. and Constellation (closer to Constellation).

Click on Aerial image and then zoom in up to the second closest setting.

Watch when he hands over some change to young Matt (the close up on the hands when the money is being exchanged).

I don't know where you are getting your info, but I had to stick in my Heat DVD to make sure. On the second disc they revisit the locations they used in the film and they are downtown on Flower and 4th.

The stuntman looks like John Travolta.

Just watched the Departed and all I noticed about the scene when jack hands Matt the money is jack has a watch on facing in instead of out where the time says 3 o clock...what am i missing?

There's an extra cut when he slaps the money down in Matt's hand.

In John Carpenter's The Thing, one of the guys jumps against a snowbank to avoid gunfire in the opening scene. After seeing it probably 20 times, I noticed that the hole in the snowbank is already there before he jumps, most likely due to previous takes.

Equally amusing is the boat crash in Face/Off. Both guys are obviously not Cage and Travolta.

The Terminator 3rd hand was always one of my favorite parts of the movie

When the T-1000 is riding the police motorcycle up the stairs, it has "off-road" tires on it as opposed to "street" tires. It is probably a different bike than the one seen earlier too.

This really works well with childhood movies too.

I didn't get any of the stuff about the nazis and the strong sexual tension between Maria and the Captain in the Sound of Music.

Doesn't really fit the title of the thread, but I have to share. On the main making of doc on the Legend UE DVD. They don't mention Tom Cruise. Ever.

There were so many jokes that flew over my head when I was little watching Ghostbusters. Seeing it again as an adult made me love it 10x more than I did as a kid.

I'm sure the same can be said for most, if not all, comedies I saw as a kid.

Near the beginning of Back to the Future, Doc is shot by the Libyans soon after showing Marty the DeLorean. In the shot where he has his hands up and throws away the gun, in the background one of the lamp posts in the far distance flickers for a split-second. This is the "other" Marty returning from 1955 and running towards the parking lot when the DeLorean he comes back with stalls.

Wilhelm screams.

Ever since I learned about the Wilhelm scream, I pick them out of things all of the time now.


Bllllaaaarrrhhhhh!!!!
