25 Easter Eggs Even Hardcore Fans Missed in Their Favorite Movies

Eggs are hidden all over the place in a lot of media, especially movies. Directors, networks, and writers have the tendency to hide clues to their other productions or slip in details they find brilliant. Sometimes we catch them and most times we don’t.

This is a recap of some of those movies with hidden eggs in them. Don’t believe me— watch it again and see for yourself!

‘Hercules’ – The Real Venus de Milo

In the Disney classic, Hercules, the statue that Hercules misshapes is actually the famous Statue of Venus. Although this entire movie is based on Greek mythology and the statue is known for its Grecian depiction of the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Venus is the name that carried through the years. It’s said she did have limbs, once upon a time before 1820. So, there’s no way Hercules is the real reason this Alexandros of Antioch statue has no limbs.

‘Up’ – The Same Aviator Hat and Goggles

After Ellie dies in Up, Carl keeps his promise to take her to Paradise Falls. Filling an entire house worth of balloons, he flies the house they lived in together to Paradise Falls. The aviator hat and goggles we see in the beginning are the same hat and goggles he wears later on with the boy scout sidekick, Russell.

‘Harry Potter’ – Increasingly Creepy Studio Idents

With each progression of darkness in the Harry Potter film plots, the film intro matched in color. Every year, the movies became increasingly sinister and ominous. And so did the clouds behind the Warner Bros. emblem.

‘Harry Potter’ – Forgetful Neville

Sticking with Harry Potter, Neville receives the remembrall because he forgot something. It was funny when he “couldn’t remember what he’d forgotten.” But it’s even funnier when you take a second to look around and see that Neville forgot his cloak.
