Moviemakers enjoy including a few subtle touches for spectators to notice. They frequently have a stronger connection to the story than we realize. It's fascinating to learn how much thought goes into each and every detail. Every time we notice these details, it's like finding out a secret, a hidden message, or another layer of meaning to a film.
But how often do we notice these minor details? How many of them have we missed? Today, we've brought the celebration to you. We have compiled for you a list. From a Frank the pug cameo in MIB 3 to the Pulp Fiction reference in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, here are 18 movie facts that you have most likely missed. Enjoy!

In MIB 3, there is a portrait of Frank the pug. We've all seen the adorable little Pug in prior films, so this one is a nod to his existence.
#2 Cornfield in Interstellar

It may appear commonplace these days to utilize CGI to depict farms and forests on the screen. But Christopher Nolan, the director of Interstellar, decided against it. Instead of using CGI, he grew all of that corn. Have you noticed a difference?
#3 Hidden three-finger salute in The Hunger Games: The Mockingjay

The film kicks off a rebellion against the wicked reality program by encouraging horrific murders and survival games among the locals. The locals, on the other hand, express their displeasure with a three-finger salute. Only three of Peeta's fingernails are painted black at the scene where Katniss and Peeta are dancing, revealing the concealed salute.
#4 Translator in Guardians of The Galaxy

The creators provided a fair explanation as well as a wonderful hidden detail. There is a brief glimpse on the screen of a list of Peter Quill's improvements. And if you look closely on the left side, you will notice an augmentation that informs you about the Translator Implant (in the neck). This explains why the Guardians can communicate in English with the Avengers.
#5 Author reference in Matilda

There is a nice reference to Charles Dickens in the film adaption Matilda. Darles Chickens is a reference to The Big Friendly Giant, in which the character refers to the author in the same way.
#6 Time calculation in Fargo

Fargo (1996) is a superb crime thriller starring William H. Macy. But there is one clever, well-placed detail. The blackmailer demands that William provide the money within the next 30 minutes. While all is going on, the movie is about 30 minutes away from ending. Isn't that clever?
#7 Appearance of the novel in Watchmen

There is a scene in the film where Hollis Mason is holding the novel on which the film is based. If you look closely, you can see the book's (half) title printed in yellow. You must have overlooked this movie detail.
#8 Stephen King’s cameo in It Chapter 2

Stephen King, the novel's author, made a cameo appearance in It -2. Did you not identify the guy who owns the antique shop and sells Bill his bike? Yes, he is the one.

Haven't we all enjoyed Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool? The film depicts a scenario in which Deadpool is having surgery and mocks himself by stating, "don't make my suit green," referencing to his green outfit in Green Lantern.
#10 The book’s reference in James Bond: Die Another Day

In the film, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is shown with a book (field Guide) named Birds of the West Indies. The book is authored by Ian Fleming's inspiration, real-life James Bond.
#11 White Witch from Narnia

Tilda Swinton's portrayal of the White Witch is outstanding. Her crown was meticulously designed by the filmmakers. You'll understand what we mean if you pay attention to the crown's size in all areas. The size of her crown shrinks substantially as her power declines. They've got the symbolism down pat.
#12

In the film Soul, there is an Easter egg in the form of a poster advertising "Brang" on the train. This is the same company where Riley's father works in Inside Out.
#13 Ratatouille’s rats

These movie rats are fascinating creatures. They are the story's heroes, and they are meant to appear strangely lovely. Git, the fattest rat among them all, is the largest of them all. He has a minor detail, most likely overlooked, on his ear—a tag "A113." This proved that he was a lab rat.
#14 Nick’s reference from the gravestone
Source: Pulp Fiction, Captain America: The Winter Soldier
We saw Nick Fury's gravestone in Captain America. Of course, that was a diversion, but there was a hidden element in the scenario. A line beside Nick's name on his gravestone reads, "the path of the righteous man..." The line alludes to Jules from the film Pulp Fiction, played by Samuel L. Jackson.
#15 The camera in The Matrix

This one is actually rather clever and fantastic. The scene depicts Neo and Morpheus in Oracle's chamber. The close-up was obtained from the doorknob's reflection, and it was quite difficult to conceal the camera. As a result, they disguised the camera with a black robe and a portion of Morpheus' tie.
#16 Spider-Man: Homecoming

We all adored Zendaya's cool character, MJ, as well as Tom Holland's in the film. We're very confident you overlooked this minor detail. She is seen in the scene reading a book titled Of Human Bondage. The book's plot is around an orphan youngster who lives with his Uncle and Aunt. Does this sound familiar?
#17 Elizabeth’s Cameo in Forrest Gump

Did you know that? Tom Hanks' daughter appeared in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. You most likely missed it; allow us to remind you. She is the girl who refuses to let Forrest sit next to her on the bus.
#18 Cars in John Wick 2

The cars are all parked in the same place. In both portions of the film, the writers devoted great attention to the screenplay. A scene from the hotel demonstrates this. The cars are parked in the same manner as in the first film. The second portion was shot three years later, but the results were satisfactory.
