I'm honestly stunned that you haven't figured out you're being trolled, yet.

In The Crow the scene which Branden Lee is killed is actually the same scene in which his character is killed before becoming the crow and NOT the scene when everyone is shooting at him near the end like every-fucking person seems to think it is.

(many arguments I have had over this one)

The actor who killed him (since it could be only one person, a point blank shot from a single person) took it pretty hard too.

It is an easy-to-find fact but NO ONE KNOWS IT >.< "No its the scene at the end" every time, huge argument X.x


Also: The reason why people think Tim Burton directed The Nightmare Before Christmas is: It is done in his style of animation that he used before and after the movie, Jack Skellington was used by Tim Burton many years before the movie, oh and the movie says "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" so its not hard to see why people mix that up

Two travesties next door, the loss of an amazing actor and the filming of a terrible (still funny but terrible) movie
 
In the movie Heathers, Veronica has a former best friend named Betty, as in Betty and Veronica.

Their last names are Finn and Sawyer, as in Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer.

Yeah guys he was the one being trolled ok!!!!
 
Best I have is in Kill Bill, the general of the Crazy 88's is played by the same guy who played Pai Mei. Just learned that the other day.
 
In the Game of Death, many of the people Bruce fights in the pagoda are his students (Inosanto, even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and tentatively Kimura). Of course the movie shown in theaters is a stapled-together-disgrace, only 30 min of the movie are what Bruce intended.

EDIT: Also, the yellow suit in Kill Bill is a reference to Bruce's in Game of Death.

Dude I saw the fight scenes that he finished before he died on that A&E special they had on him. Shit was amazing. Never saw it in the released form though. Is it really that bad?

So how can you watch the better version? Or is there just not enough of the footage from it?

I'll take it a step further, Gordon Liu (The actor that played Pai Mei) fought Pai Mei in the film Fist of the White Lotus 2 decades earlier.
 
Twilight Zone the movie:

Wikipedia said:
The making of the movie had consequences which overshadowed the film itself. During the filming of a segment directed by John Landis on July 23, 1982, actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le (age 7) and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (age 6) died in an accident involving a helicopter being used on the set. Pyrotechnic explosions caused the low-flying helicopter to spin out of control and crash. The rotor blade decapitated Morrow and Le; Chen was crushed by the helicopter's skid. The helicopter's passengers suffered only minor injuries.

The accident led to legal action against the filmmakers which lasted nearly a decade, and changed the regulations involving children working on movie sets at night and during special effects-heavy scenes. Hollywood also avoided helicopter-related stunts for many years, until the CGI revolution of the 1990s made it possible to use digital versions. As a result of the accident, one second assistant director had his name removed from the credits and replaced with the pseudonymous Alan Smithee. The incident also ended the friendship between director Landis and producer Spielberg.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but at the end of the movie Liar Liar, when Jim Carrey's character is lying on the gurney, it's not really Jim Carrey. He is dressed up as Fire Marshall Bill in the background!

Temple of Doom is a prequel to the Indiana Jones series--for anyone who hasn't paid close attention to the opening dates of the films.

I'm sad to say I did not know that until the last time I watched the movie, several months ago. Kinda makes sense though.

Also, Tom Selleck came extremely close to playing Indiana Jones.

You reminded me of another Bond one: James Brolin WAS cast as James Bond in Octopussy, before Roger Moore eventually decided to come back again.

Would have been the first American Bond. Yikes.
 
Some Disney ones that probably a lot of people know but some may not.


Little Mermiad:
The priest marrying the two has a boner. Seen here. Bonus, the original VHS cover had a large penis as one of the castle pillars but was taken out of later version.

Alladin:
In a balcony scene where Jasmine's tiger is attacking Alladin, Alladin tries to calm the big cat down and very quitely utters "good teenagers take off their clothes." The clip can be found here.

Lion King:
When adult Simba lays down in leaves on a cliff the word "SEX" kicks up in the wind. Seen here.

In Fight Club, Marla's line after having text with Tyler was originally "I want to have your abortion", Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin was appauled and asked David Fincher to change it. He said he would, but with one caveat - the new line would be final.

He chose "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school", Ziskin was more outraged than ever, asked Fincher to change it back, but Fichner refused.

Heh, I just read that line in the book earlier today.

Eric Stoltz was initially cast as Marty McFly before being fired 4 weeks into filming, then MJF was brought in (their first choice).

These were all debunked by Snopes and are more a result of overanxious parents reading into things that aren't there.
 
The actor who plays the king that wears the mask in Kingdom of Heaven is Edward Norton.

Alan Smithee is the credit name that a director (writer etc.) uses when he doesn't want to be associated with his work. As a result, there's a shitload of media with his name on it.

Mr. Burns' recruiting film for his nuclear power plant (featuring Homer, and ending badly with Homer's Burns impression: "Nuclear Power!") was credited to Alan Smithee.

Second Assistant directors work primarily on getting exterior filler shots or they work on action scenes, and the Vic Morrow helicopter accident probably had something to do with this "Smithee" credit.

* The Elusive David Agnew, a featurette included on the 2008 DVD release of The Invasion of Time, a six-episode storyline from Doctor Who, is credited to Smithee. This is done as a joke, as the featurette is about a pseudonym used by the BBC.
