8 Times Costume Designers Hide Clever and Subtle Easter Eggs in Popular Movies

1. Steven Spielberg wanted to make a James Bond film, but Eon refused. When he told George Lucas about it, they decided to create Indiana Jones, and in this scene in Indiana Jones 2, Indiana Jones is dressed as James Bond.

2. Most Jack Sparrow hats are made of rubber. This is because Johnny Depp constantly lost them and threw them overboard. After he lost ten leather hats, the costume designer started making them out of rubber so they would float instead of sink.

3. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" chain mail was actually knitted yarn.

4. In the Harry Potter films (2001-2011), Snape's costume was the only one that never changed. According to costume designer Jenny Temine, “Because it was perfect. When something is perfect, you can't change it." She joined Prisoner of Azkaban and changed most of her costumes except for Snape's.

5. Doc Brown's bandana from Back to the Future Part III is made from his shirt from Back to the Future Part II.

6. Forrest Gump: When Jenny introduces Forrest to his son, they are wearing the same clothes as Bert and Ernie and are also leaning to the left as they are.

7. Knives Out (2019) Ransome's sweater has a tattered collar and several noticeable holes. The costume designer added this detail to show Ransom's indifference to his wealth and disrespect for his family.

8. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Umbridge's outfits take on a darker shade of pink as she becomes more powerful.
