Despite being filmed two years apart, John Wick: Chapter Two has amazing attention to detail. In one scene where the movie shows us the cars outside the Continental Hotel, we can see that they look exactly as in Chapter One. This is because the storyline of the second chapter picks up just hours after the first one.

When Norman turned into Goblin, not only did he change his personality but also his teeth. One Reddit user pointed out that Goblin’s teeth were looking a little bit sharper and there was a gap in between the front teeth too. When Norman Osborn was in control, his teeth came back to normal. Surprisingly, Willem Dafoe’s real teeth were used for the Goblin. The actor wore prosthetics for his role as Norman Osborn.

In one scene in The Incredible Hulk (2008), if we pay close attention we can see that the serum used to make Blonksy stronger is from a canister produced by Stark Industries. Dr. Reinstein is the name of the developer. This is an alias used by Dr. Erskine, the same doctor who produced the super-soldier serum and turned Steve Rogers into Captain America.

In The Matrix: Reloaded (2003), The Oracle pulled out a candy that looked exactly like the red pill in front of Neo. When asked why she helped the Resistance, she answered that she had the same reason as Neo. She then said that she loved candy as she ate the red pill.
6. Tenet

In Tenet (2020), the viewers don’t need to be pointed out who is the main character. Our eyes automatically focus on him because his visor is clear, while all the other soldier's visors are fogged up. What a great way to introduce a lead.
7. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Another movie that has amazing attention to detail is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The trolls in this movie were turned to stone in the same exact position as they were discovered 11 years later in Fellowship of the Ring.
8. Shrek 2

Instead of saying “in god's name”, the fairy godmother in Shrek 2 used “in Grimm's name” to ask Shrek when he disturbed her. That was because in the universe of fairytales the brothers Grimm were considered gods as they were the ones who created this world.

The main villain in Ratatouille was named after the behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner. He was quite famous for his experiments with rats, especially his experiment about the operant conditioning process.

Willy Wonka's father might appear cruel and cold-hearted, but he had a wall full of framed newspapers about his son's life. This wall was inspired after Tim Burton visited his dying mother in 2002. The director and his mother didn’t have a great relationship, but she owned framed movie posters of all his films.

In The Bee Movie, the bees were fighting for their honey. After they won the case and turned honey into a "controlled substance," the ATF becomes ATFH, which stands for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and honey.
