29 Bits of Movie Trivia We Found Floating Grotesquely in Jars in an Abandoned Laboratory

You might be asking what we were doing in an old abandoned lab (and thats a fair question), but we assure you that it was for noble reasons. Yes, we were performing semi-legal experiments on movie facts, but if our hypothesis is correct, this next batch will be the most interesting list that the world has ever seen! 

And if movies have taught us anything, its that lab experiments always work out fine and everyone involved just gets to clock out and go home to their families. 

Here, well show you. This batch is ready to be opened now, so lean your face right up in there and soak up our steaming hot little mutations!

Star Wars

Think the relationship between Luke and Leia got awkward? It was almost a lot worse. Before Empire was conceived, Alan Dean Foster wrote a Star Wars sequel called Splinter Of The Mind's Eye. In it, Luke and Leia share several scenes of palpable sexual tension. Foster still thinks the story could work as a film between episodes IV and V, as long as people are willing to overlook certain awkward moments. http://www.cinelinx.com/interviews/item/3997-interview-author-alan-dean- CRACKED.COM foster-reflects-on-what-could-have-been-the-official-star-wars-sequel.html

Brave

Pixar Easter Eggs Sully You can see a wood carving of Monsters, Inc.'s Sully in the background of the Witch's workshop. Fan theories suggest the Witch is actually little Boo, but we would object that that's not far-fetched enough. Brave CRACKED.COM

Blood Diamond

Inconspicuous CGI Blood Diamond For the scene of Leo DiCaprio' saying goodbye to Jennifer Connelly, they added one single CGI tear to her performance. It's seamless, it does give the scene the sort of oomph that the average movie desperately needs-but on the other hand, do they dare question Jennifer Connelly's acting? CRACKED.COM

Reindeer Games

Charlize Theron REINDEER GAMES CRACKED.COM Theron said that was a bad, bad, bad movie. She knew it could very well suck from the start, and only took the project so she could work with John Frankenheimer.

Dumb and Dumber (Again)

Jim Carrey came up with the Big gulps? line in Dumb and Dumber on the spot. 188 77 The two guys standing there weren't even in the movie - they were just watching the shoot. Carrey just decided to start talking to them, and everyone rolled with it. CRACKED.COM

Rain Man

Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman ad-libbed their reactions to the fart in the phone booth in Rain Man. Hoffman actually farted, and they just reacted in-character and kept going. CRACKED.COM

Scott Pilgrim Versus the World

It was Kieran Culkin's idea to throw keys at Scott's head in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Which means Michael Cera's reaction in the shot is probably genuine. CRACKED.COM

The Social Network

Andrew Garfield just decided to do that little dance when he went up to Jesse Eisenberg at the party in The Social Network. When David Fincher saw that, he thought this guy's going to be a movie star. CRACKED.COM

Clueless

The plan for dressing the main cast of Clueless was to have them all in designer couture.

THE RESULT: The movie helped bury grunge fashion and made preppy style look cool. CRACKED.COM

Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane had to depict obscene wealth, but it had a shoestring budget. THE IMPROVISATION: Orson Welles got super creative, coming up with tricks like filming rooms from the floor to make them look big and using props to strategically hide areas. THE RESULT: Other directors picked up all those tricks later on, and they're used so much that we don't even notice them today. CRACKED.COM

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock shot Psycho as an episode of his TV show.
