Vladimir Putin in "Deadpool" and other unexpected Easter eggs in Hollywood blockbusters
It's good that there are people who watch movies a thousand times. Thanks to their perseverance and increasing attentiveness with each viewing, we learn about inconspicuous, but very interesting details hidden in some scenes. So read about Easter eggs and mentally thank the moviegoers.
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004)
The final credits of the film flash against the background of the marauders' map. And at some point in the lower left corner there are traces of people standing (?) in intriguing proximity to each other. Well, the prank was a success.
"Iron Man" (2009)
Marvel often engages in self-promotion. For example, in one of the scenes of the first "Iron Man", when Tony Stark puts on a suit, Captain America's shield is visible in the background. This is a kind of announcement of the blockbuster "The First Avenger", released two years later.
"I am a Legend" (2007)
The Warner Brothers film studio was also noticed for similar tricks. In the film "I am a Legend", which presents the image of a devastated New York, above the cinema you can see the poster of the action movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". His rental Warner Brothers will be engaged as much as nine years after the release of "I am a legend".
"The Throne" (1982)
In the sci-fi movie "Tron" starring Jeff Bridges, a diagram of the Sark cruiser appears on the screen at some point. More like a modified screenshot from the legendary Pac-Man game.
"Deadpool" (2016)
In Deadpool's favorite bar, a board for recording bets in the Dead Poll game hangs on the wall. If you look closely, you can see that the regulars of this institution believe that Vladimir Putin, Ryan Reynolds, Charlie Sheen, Lil Wayne, Lindsay Lohan and other celebrities may soon die.
"Indiana Jones: In Search of the Lost Ark" (1981)
A year before the first film about the adventures of Indiana Jones, the fifth episode of Star Wars was released. Harrison Ford shines in both pictures. Obviously, this explains the appearance of droids R2-D2 and C-3PO on the wall of an ancient temple.
"King Kong" (2005)
To discover the Easter egg in Peter Jackson's painting on your own, you need to know Morse code. Before arriving at Skull Island, the ship's captain sends a message to the Mainland, in which he allegedly demands the immediate arrest of Karl Denham. In fact, his message stands for "Show me the monkey!".
"Catch Me If You Can" (2002)
The biographical tape of Steven Spielberg tells about the brilliant crook Frank Abagnale, who for many years manages to lead the FBI by the nose. In the end, Leonardo DiCaprio's hero is still detained in France, and the real Frank Abignail, disguised as a gendarme, participates in the detention.
"Fight Club" (1999)
It is suspected that Starbucks took an active part in financing David Fincher's thriller. How else to explain the presence of several scenes at once, in which a glass with a famous logo appears in the frame.
