1. The ©Disney printed on Buzz's butt:

In 'TOY STORY' (1995), during the scene where Buzz Lightyear attempts to fly, you can see ©Disney printed on his buttocks. from MovieDetails

Disney

2. This hilarious recovery from Robin Williams:

In The Birdcage (1996) Robin Williams' slip and fall during the "shrimp" scene was not planned. Williams really fell and he, Hank Azaria, and Dan Futterman are holding back laughter. from MovieDetails

As Azaria explained to Slash Film:

"That was absolutely not intentional. And if you watch that little piece of film again, you'll see me laughing and Robin laughing. It's one of those things that happens that you never really think they're going to use, but I was so emotionally upset in the scene — I was supposed to be crying — that I just pretended that he was making me cry even more. But I was actually laughing."

3. This headscratcher:

In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), Rufus never introduces himself. His name is given to the present Bill and Ted by the future Bill and Ted creating a bootstrap paradox as the information has no traceable origin. from MovieDetails

4. This subtle, yet not-so-subtle move:

In Terminator 2 (1991) Dyson holds the door open for the camera man. from MovieDetails

5. This detail I'll never not notice from now on:

Little detail that was brought back from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 1 (2002) in Spider-Man No Way Home (2021). Willem Dafoe wears prosthetics as Norman Osborn, but as the Goblin persona he retains Dafoe’s natural, less perfect, teeth. from MovieDetails

Sony

6. This "once you hear it you'll totally get" it detail:

7. This "wish I didn't know that" note:

In a show of true commitment to character, Danny Devito ate a raw fish for this scene in Batman Returns (1992). from MovieDetails

8. This iconic improv:

one of the funniest lines in "Zoolander" (2001) was ad-libbed. JP Prewitt (David Duchovny) spends a full minute explaining why male models are being used for evil. Stiller forgot his next line, so he repeated: "But why male models?" Duchovny rolled with it: "Are you serious? I just told you that!" from MovieDetails

9. This detail that COMPLETELY takes you out of the scene:

In Jurassic Park(1993), there is a scene where the raptor opens the door to the kitchen and you can spot an operator grab the raptor's tail. from MovieDetails

Universal

10. This really sweet detail I will never forget now:

In Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), the poolside bartender is played by an actor credited under the nickname Dr. Toad, but his real name was Robert Todd Williams, and he was Robin Williams’ older brother. A vintner by trade in real-life, this was his only film appearance. from MovieDetails

11. This super smart detail:

In Tenet's (2020) opening scene, although we aren't introduced to the main character, the viewers eye is pulled towards him because his visor is clear, while all the other soldiers visors are fogged up. from MovieDetails

12. This hilarious cameo I'm low-key obsessed with now:

Impractical Jokers: The Movie — 2020. Will Ferrell makes a cameo without any lines & zero reference. I did a double take and had to rewind! from MovieDetails

Warner Bros.

13. This detail that makes me kinda sad:

In Frozen/Frozen 2 (2013/2019), the only time Olaf bends his elbows is during his own dreams/fantasy (see: “In Summer”). Otherwise, his arms are always straight, as real twigs would be. from MovieDetails

Disney

14. This moment that made me audibly gasp:

In ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ (1953) Jane Russell’s pool sequence was supposed to end with a muscleman diving over her, but she was accidentally clipped by his foot and knocked into the water. “I wasn’t supposed to end up in the pool at all,” she later said, “but it turned out better that way.” from MovieDetails

15. This funny detail that I'll ALWAYS think about:

In The Bee Movie (2007) , after the bees win the court case and honey becomes a "controlled substance" the ATF becomes ATFH ( which stands for alcohol, tobacco , firearms , and honey ) from MovieDetails

16. This wacky detail that's gonna make me look for other ones:

In The Naked Gun (1988): The Police Lab door's label is half-mirrored; "Lab" is reversed to be readable from the inside. from MovieDetails

Paramount Pictures

17. This SUPER TINY detail that'll refocus your attention in this scene:

18. And this one, too:

Here they are in Cinderella:

21. This funny nod:

Watching Deadpool 2 (2018) and noticed a certain Supreme Court justice’s headshot in the squad interview scene. None other than Ruth Bader Ginsburg in consideration for a spot on X-Force from MovieDetails

22. This cute one:

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (2018), the old couple taking photos are the parents of James Gunn. They are credited as "Weird Old Man" and "Weird Old Man's Mistress.". from MovieDetails

23. This funny moment that turned into movie magic:

In the Lego Movie (2014), Vitruvius says “All right, we gotta write all that down ’cause I’m not gonna remember any of it, but here we go.” This was actually an outtake of Morgan Freeman getting frustrated at his lines being changed. The directors added it in as a joke. from MovieDetails

24. This funny/kinda yikes Easter egg:

In Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) you can see that Dobby the House Elf became a model for Gucci after the Harry Potter series wrapped. from MovieDetails

25. This great foreshadowing that gives it all away:

In Coco (2017), the skull on Ernesto's guitar has a single gold tooth, foreshadowing that... from MovieDetails

26. This very detailed detail that always makes me chuckle:

The jokes on the sign in this shot are pretty funny (from Monsters Inc. 2001). from MovieDetails

1. Punchline does not mean hit the child.



2. Don't howl at your own jokes.



3. Tentacles funny. Razor sharp claws not funny.



4. Multiple heads should speak one-at-a-time.



5. No claws for tickling.

27. This cool Easter egg I'll always be on the lookout for now:

In Catch Me If You Can (2002), you can see the words "Steven and Tom's 4th project" written on a blackboard. This is a reference to director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks. from MovieDetails

DreamWorks Pictures

28. And finally, this one, confirmed by the director himself: "A major plot point in The Batman (2022) is revealed early on, right in front of our blind eyes." —u/Comic_Book_Reader
