Most Paused Movie Scenes In The History Of Hollywood
Before I Go to Sleep (2014)
As it is the case with a popular scene from Basic Instinct and other movies, fans wanted to see one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood when she was walking in one scene without clothes on.
The funny thing is that the actress was wearing some clothes during the scene but fans still wanted to see whatever they could.
The Exorcist (1973)
This movie has a lot of shocking images and scary moments. There are some scenes that you want to see again and again and that’s the fun about the horror genre as it keeps on surprising you.
In one scene, viewers can press the pause button in the movie at the right time and see the demon that possesses Regan, Pazuzu.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
This 2004 American comedy film is packed with so many Easter Eggs and in-jokes. For instance, the restaurant Escupimos en su Alimento is a name that only Spanish-speaking movie-goers will understand.
The name means “we spit in your food” and this funny detail acted as a reward for those people who went through the trouble of pausing the movie and using Google Translate to find out what it means.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
In this Quentin Tarantino film, there is a scene you can easily miss if you blink. It is an intriguing chapter of the story in which Bruce Willis’s character is on the run from Marcellus Wallace.
Although it is quite a trivial moment, many viewers had to pause the scene to see the actor in his glory as he stepped out of the shower. All we can say here is that what anyone saw after pausing the scene is true.
Frozen (2013)
As we know, Disney doesn’t mind adding some references that can help appeal to the adults, Frozen is no exception as well. In one scene, Hans and Anna are discussing sandwiches and it makes adults feel like they know that line from somewhere.
Well, that scene in Frozen is a play by play repeat of a scene in Arrested Development. If you think that it is not crazy enough, you should know that the line also featured in The Simpsons. So, it is fair to say that Disney writers absolutely love Easter Eggs.
Back To The Future (1985)
The fans of this movie must have noticed this clever sign change. Marty McFly and Doc Brown have to travel back in time to 1955, so they meet up at Twin Pines Mall.
Later on in the movie, McFly accidentally runs over one of the two pines when he is being chased. His action changed the future and he returns at the end of the movie to find that the mall’s name has been changed. This was a clever little sign change that is quite impressive.
Beauty And The Beast (1991)
In Beauty And The Beast, there is one scene which you can easily miss if you blink. In the final scenes, Gaston attacks the castle with the help of the villagers.
As he traverses the turrets to fight with the Beast, he ultimately stumbles and falls to his death. There, viewers notice little skulls in his pupils, showing the evil within him.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Rami Malek portrayed Freddie Mercury in this 2018 biographical drama film and won an Academy Award for Best Actor. Viewers with a keen eye were excited to see the cameo of Adam Lambert as a trucker who questions Freddie Mercury’s sexuality.
Thanks to the clever makeup, a mustache, and busy hair, Adam is almost entirely unrecognizable. What makes Adam’s cameo so special and touching is that he has been stepping into Mercury’s shoes as the touring lead singer of Queen since 2011.
Jurassic Park (1993)
In the movie, viewers had to hit the pause three times because of the incredible costume changes that pay homage to The Goonies.
We know that The Goonies was a huge hit in the box office and thanks to some Reddit users, people were able to notice the reference. Given that Steven Spielberg wrote the script for The Goonies and directed Jurassic Park, the Easter egg makes a lot of sense.
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Sometimes, there are little parts in a movie that deserve a pause and this is exactly what we are talking about in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the movie, Michelle (played by Zendaya) is reading a book called Of Human Bondage.
It is a 1915 novel by W. Somerset Maugham and you know what it is about? Well, it is about an orphaned boy who lived with his aunt and uncle. Now that’s a clever reference.
