Did you know that in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi', the rebel soldiers are played by Mark Hamill’s children? Or that in 'Parasite', the trash can in the Park’s house costs $2,300 in real life. Bong Joon Ho chose it because it doesn’t make any noise and opens very smoothly. Still, he was baffled by the cost, saying: “What the fuck? What kind of idiot would buy a trash can that’s going to smell anyway?”

In Titanic, there is a scene showing a boy playing with a spinning top on deck. This is actually a recreation of a real photo taken onboard the ship on April 11th, 1912 by Francis Browne. It shows 1st Class passenger Frederic Spedden and his 6 year old son Douglas. Both survived the sinking.

4.
In Dr No, Bond notices a painting in Dr No’s lair and stares closely at it. This painting is the ‘Portrait of the Duke of Wellington’ by Francisco Goya. It had been stolen in 1961. The filmmakers included it as a little in-joke, suggesting that Dr No had stolen it. It was recovered in 1965.
5.
The scene in ‘The Lighthouse’ where Willem Dafoe’s character gives the sea curse to Robert Pattinson’s character because he doesn’t like his cooked lobster was shot in one single take. According to director Robert Eggers, Dafoe didn’t blink for over 2 minutes
6.
In Terminator 2, the guard and the T-1000 were played by identical twins, Don and Dan Stanton
7.
Janette Goldstein, who played John Connor’s adopted mom, played Vasquez in Aliens
8.
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Darth Vader’s skeleton is briefly visible from several different angles when struck by the Emperor’s lightning. Many artificial components are visible, including his mechanical right arm, a respirator, and at least 3 replacement vertebrae
9.
In Deliverance, during the “dueling banjos” scene, Billy Redden, who played the young banjo-playing local, didn’t know how to play banjo. To make it look authentic, a skilled banjo player hid behind & played the chords with his left arm in Redden’s sleeve while Redden picked with his right.
10.
For the masturbation scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Judge Reinhold snuck a large dildo onto the set. Phoebe Cates’ “look of horror and disgust” in the film was very real
11.
In An American Tail, the colour of the statue of liberty is historically accurate. As the film is set in 1885, the year the statue was completed, it still has its bright copper colouring. It was only after 1900 that the statue turned green due to oxidisation.
12.
Adam Sandler’s love interests in Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Pixels, & Hubie Halloween all have a double-V character names
13.
In The Matrix , the club where Neo meets Trinity is an actual BDSM club in Sydney. The extras were all patrons of the club who wore their own gear.
14.
When Julia Stiles read her poem at the end of Ten Things I Hate About You, it was done in one take and she wasn’t supposed to start crying.
15.
In order to prevent the twist of Vader being Luke’s father being spoiled in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), the line written in the script and spoken during filming was “Obi-Wan killed your father”, with it later dubbed over. Of the main cast, only Mark Hamill was informed before release
16.
In Anastasia, the drawing that Anastasia gives to her grandmother is based on a 1914 painting created by the real princess Anastasia.
17.
In Ratatouille, the ratatouille that Rémy prepares was designed by Chef Thomas Keller. It’s a real recipe. It takes at least four hours to make.
18.
In Jaws , Richard Dreyfuss didn’t even have to act as he stared in awe at Robert Shaw’s delivery of the USS Indianapolis speech. Dreyfuss explains this in the bonus Blu-Ray footage. “Robert told that story, I couldn’t keep my eyes off him”.
19.
In Men in Black, the language these aliens speak together is ‘Huttese’, the language Jabba the Hutt speaks in the Star Wars films
20.
In ‘The Wrestler’ (2008), they didn’t shut down the deli counter while they filmed Randy working there. Those are real customers, and everything Mickey Rourke does is improvised.
