1.
The Departed's Characters Are Marked for Death Literally -
2.
Each doomed character is marked for death. Like this -
3.
See that X between Damon and DiCaprio? it shows up behind the characters who are going to die before the end of the movie which is most of them -
4.
Mark behind Jack Nicholson -
5.
Leo DiCaprio -
6.
And Martin Sheen -
7.
All three die eventually from multiple gunshot wounds, a single gunshot to the head, and falling off a building, respectively. However, it looks like the Grim Reaper had a hard-on for Matt Damon in particular apparently he missed a flight that later exploded, because the mark shows up behind him a bunch -
8.
X marks the spot -
9.
In fact, the only major character who doesn't get marked is Sgt. Dignam Mark Wahlberg, and guess who makes it through the entire movie alive? -
10.
Scorsese, being a huge film nerd, was intentionally paying tribute to Howard Hawks' 1932 version of Scarface, where an X appeared every time a murder was about to be committed. -
11.
Sam Raimi's Oldsmobile Has Been in More Movies than Most Actors -
12.
Remember the creepy old Gypsy who curses the protagonist in Drag Me to Hell? Guess what car she drove -
13.
It also showed up as a henchman's ride in Darkman during a chase scene in which the titular character lands on its hood. -
14.
here it is as Uncle Ben's car in Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3 -
15.
Yeah, it's been beaten up, crashed, crushed, blown up, and covered by mashed Deadites, but it's still the same car ... more or less. -
16.
This is the car that Ash and his friends drive to that cabin in the middle of the woods in Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, which then gets transported through a time portal and turned into a totally plausible death machine in Army of Darkness. -
17.
It also turned up in the Evil Dead remake, 32 years after it showed up in the original, which wasn't even its first movie appearance: The Oldsmobile belonged to Raimi's dad and was borrowed to be used as a prop for the films he shot as a kid with an old Super 8 -
18.
Toy Story Is Full of References to The Shining -
19.
Remember the scene in Toy Story where Buzz and Woody are trying to escape Sid's house? -
20.
Well, those are all references to the Overlook Hotel's Room 237the carpet in Sid's house has the exact same pattern as the carpet in the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, the same one where junior psychic Danny Torrance used to play with his toys: -
21.
Buzz and Woody eventually escape that place without killing each other, but the horror continues in Toy Story 3. At one point, we see a monkey toy watching the feed from some surveillance cameras in a nursery. On the same desk, there's a small box with the Overlook carpet pattern on it again, plus a 1970s intercom modeled after the one seen in the hotel manager's office in The Shining. -
22.
But the most recurrent element in the movie is the number 237. We see a security camera with the model number "OVERLOOK R237": -
23.
A garbage truck with the plate number "RM237": -
24.
And Woody chatting with someone with the username "Velocistar237": -
25.
All references to the Overlook Hotel's Room 237 -- you know, the one where Jack Nicholson made out with that naked lady who then turned into a cackling corpse
