I'm starting to think that most of the mis-quoted lines are from people who are paraphrasing the line in order for people to understand where the line is coming from. For instance, if you just say, "No, I am your father", most people probably wouldn't understand that it's from Star Wars (although it is a pretty famous example). But if you say, "Luke, I am your father", then people understand that you're Darth Vader talking to Luke Skywalker

The door scene in Titanic falls into both of them fitting which is true, but it's not the size, it's about the buoyancy of the door. It doesn't matter how big the door is, it's how much weight it can support and still float.

[@Jsdo1980]

They even show it and say it in the movie. They both try to climb on top only for the piece of wreckage to start to topple over. Then Jack stops another guy approaching by saying "There's just enough for this lady, we'll push it under".

We are seeing Old Rose's narration 86 years later. It is perfectly reasonable that her memory would be a little fuzzy about details like how big the door was or why it could not support Jack too.

[@timebleeder2814]

James Cameron recently funded an experiment to determine if Jack could have used the door to survive. It was aired as a special on National Geographic, and James admits that based on a specific scenario it would have been possible for Jack to use the door to survive, but it still would be very unlikely and Jack wouldn't risk Rose's life on it.

Another Friday the 13th misconception. That Jason was always undead (Jason was never officially undead till Jason Lives).

[@benjaminA.stantonpun]

“Not officially” haha. That is great. Friday The 13th 1 and 2 are classically non-consistent because Jason drowned in the first one as a boy. Jason is a fully grown man in part 2 very much alive. They never actually filled in the gaps where you wonder, “Was his mother fooled into thinking Jason died even though she was talking to his ghost? Or, was she just schizophrenic? Maybe Jason really was dead while Camp Crystal Lake’s curse gave everyone nightmares.” These are questions that nobody can fully answer….just the way horror fans love it!

I was so excited to see Indiana Jones here but then it was for the wrong reason! I would have swapped that for the title. Everyone always calls it: Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's not right. They didn't start putting "Indiana Jones" in the title until the second one. The first one is just Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[@noiamyourfather1104]

what about rambo first blood it was only called first blood

[@scottstark5528]

For marketing reasons Lucasfilm and Paramount, not Disney, changed the title of the film for the 1999 VHS THX release. This coincided with the release of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on VHS which also added chapters of the episodes including the original Indiana Jones trilogy. I think this is when a large portion of people realized that Temple of Doom was actually a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark as Temple was listed as Chapter 23 and Raiders as chapter 24.

[@djazel5525]

[@dhenderson1810]

Another I hear is people referring to the Vulcan from "Star Trek" as Dr Spock. It is Mister Spock, not Doctor Spock. Part of the confusion comes from the fact that, in the 70s, when the original "Star Trek" was on TV, there was a best-selling book by a child psychologist called Dr Spock (Dr Benjamin Spock), who was one of the first to advocate against smacking children.

[@andrewblanchard2398]

Dr SPOCK is why kids grew up to be brats

[@MitchQuadrupleTree]

Regarding Gremlins, I think the fact that the other two rules about water and sunlight continue to apply to them after their transformation also helps people to misattribute the third rule as well.

[@dhenderson1810]

Even this video got it wrong. Only feeding them after midnight chases Mogwais to Gremlins. Water makes them multiply and sunlight kills them.

[@cooltrainervaultboy-39]

But what constitutes, "After midnight?" It's always after midnight if you think about it. Is there a window of time where you can feed them? Is okay to feed them an hour or two after? And are timezones a factor?

[@MitchQuadrupleTree]

@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 Gremlins 2 actually has a minor character ask that. It was even featured in TV spots. He straight up says, "It's always midnight somewhere," right before a gremlin bursts out of the console he's working at and attacks him.

[@VaultBoy13]

You don't think that that's just an homage to both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th? There are people that desperately want others to be wrong to elevate themselves. But, an homage isn't rooted in a 100% accurate depiction.

No one does. Mojo is just lazy. ALL of these are famously well know. MAYBE 20 or 30 years ago SOME of these weren't as well known, but nowadays everyone knows these factoids (the original meaning of the term, i.e. an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact. Kind of like how the term "factoid" came to mean "little fact" by being used incorrectly for so long even though we already have a word for that: trivia.)

I knew it and when I watched scream for the first time I knew exactly what ghost face was gonna say

[@TeniBear10]

I did, until I was at least in my late 20s. Never saw Friday the 13th, was only 10 when Scream came out, and was never all that interested in horror movies. So I knew bits and pieces about them through pop culture osmosis, but not the finer details. Like, I knew there were two killers in Scream and that one of them was played by Matthew Lillard; I knew there was a fakeout opening with Drew Barrymore, but I didn't even know there *was* a quiz in that opening, etc.

[@dr.bherrin]

I've never seen Scream. I know Jason wasn't the original killer, but I watched the film. Consider that a 30 year old today would not have been around when the film came out, and likely has not seen it. They just associate Jason with Friday the 13th and would assume that he was the killer in the franchise, period, not knowing the history. What you believe doesn't matter, what actually is matters. The number of people I actually have spoken to who think that Chucky was created from the recent TV series and had no idea a movie franchise exists...it would shock you. Believe it or not.

[@pukeymcphistyJC]

It's understandable with the Rocky thing. The outcome of the match is literally background noise. The highlight of the moment is that Rocky went the distance with the champ and I think the most important part is he desperately wants to share the moment with his true love. Rocky is really a love story. He wants to win the heart of Adrienne more than he wants to win the title. Its better that he didn't win

[@MorganKing95]

Plus that to those who have mostly seen the third and fourth movie, in which he's several times referred to as the champion, it can be easy to assume that he became the champion in the original movie, and that the second movie is somewhat obscure in comparison As for me, I was naive enough to watch "Rocky Balboa" first, then watched the original, and I assumed that Rocky won in the latter due to being called a champion in the former. It wasn't until years later that I finally saw Rocky II

[@elzibiel]

I really liked the first one because of this. he didn't have to "win" when he already won in his own mind, doing what he wanted to accomplish. He went the distance, which is what he ultimately set out to do, to prove it to himself that he could do it. When Apollo said "There ain't gonna be a rematch", Rocky replied: "Don't want one." THAT proved it to me that getting the title wasn't what Rocky was after. Rocky did what he had set out to do, and was satisfied. Which is also why I never bothered watching the second one. Everything I read about it suggests to me that it was little more than Rocky 1.5, in that everything that should have/would have happened in the first one, happens in the sequel. He gets the title. He marries Adrienne and has a baby. He becomes more famous/well known. That's the logical outcome of the first one, really. The first true sequel (in my eyes, anyway) is the third one, where things happen that turn his entire world upside down, provide him with different challenges.

[@MorganKing95]

@elzibiel Well, I wouldn't say "Rocky II" is just an alternative version of the original. He gets married, but he also squanders most of his prize money (like most people who aren't used to handling huge sums of money), and he's way too uneducated and incompetent to do a regular white collar or blue collar job, so the stakes are raised: either he goes back in the ring (despite his health issues), or he falls into poverty with his now wife and new-born son. Apollo meanwhile is angry at people publicly shaming him for not "beating Rocky", and his kids now getting bullied in school because of it. He therefore demands a rematch and becomes more of a threat since he's way more serious than last time, but it's ultimately pride that leads to his downfall: he dominates Rocky throughout most of their rematch, and he could easily have won again by split decision if he just "danced around" during the last rounds. However, because he demands that he wins by knock-out, he tires himself out and gets knocked out himself, losing his title. On the other hand, his loss becomes a catalyst for him wanting to lift Rocky up again after the latter loses the title in the third movie So, while I will always prefer the original, I still respect "Rocky II" for what it does

[@pukeymcphistyJC]

@elzibiel I'm not really a fan of the second movie being referred to as Rocky 1.5. I've seen it referred to that multiple times and completely disagree. It's trying to tell 2 important stories. It continues to tell the love story of Rocky and Adrienne, reinforcing Rocky's love and respect for her. He won't even get back in the ring without her blessing. The other story is Apollo. You learn what makes him the champ and get to see "killer" Apollo. And like MorganKing95 said, he's much more of a threat and makes for a tougher fight for Rocky. And by the time of the fight, neither man can afford to lose. So I would say that Rocky 2 just builds on the things already established in the first movie. I strongly suggest watching it and deciding for yourself. I am biased, though. I love all the movies except for Rocky Balboa, so maybe I'm just a fan boy lol

[@karlsmith2570]

10:30 "The Take In Which He Was Fatally Wounded Was Not In The Final Edit Of The Film And Was Destroyed After An Investigation Into The Accidental Death" That's probably for the best that they didn't include that in the final editing of the movie, as it'd be akin to reliving Brandon's death all over again

In the movie "Legend", Tim Curry did NOT play Satan/the Devil in spite of his very convincing appearance. He played Darkness, who was a child of the devil. That's the "father" he keeps talking to during the film.

[@VaultBoy13]

He was a child of Mother Night and an unspecified "Father." You can interpret Father as being Satan if you need the movie to be a Christian parable. But, I don't recall any part of the setting indicating that it was a monotheistic world nor a Christian one. It's more probably that Darkness is the son of Night and Evil (or Chaos or some similar abstraction). Based the portrayal, it also isn't inaccurate to label Darkness a devil. Given the makeup and set design for Darkness, it certainly borrows from ideas of the Devil and Hell. So, people will conflate Darkness with Satan; however, there's no indicator that Darkness is the child of Satan. So, you're no more accurate than the people you're complaining about.

It's not commonly mistaken. The monster has been commonly referred to as Frankenstein for close to 200 years starting about 10 years after the original release of the book. The monster is never actually given a name in the book so society just kind of made a collective unconscious decision to refer to the monster as Frankenstein and the creator as Dr. or Victor Frankenstein. The monster is essentially Dr. Frankenstein's child and Europeans pass the family name on thus the monster inherited the name of its father Frankenstein. The monster has also been referred to or just strait up named Frankenstein in many properties since Mary Shelley's book came out.

8:59 The only Star Wars movies that George Lucas wrote and directed were the prequels and episode IV of the original trilogy He'd only wrote and directed episode IV and not "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return Of The Jedi" because his stress levels while doing both jobs took a toll on him to the point where he'd almost had a heart attack

Thought Lucas still produced both Sequels and Wrote the story in empire strikes back and the shooting script for return of the Jedi, the sequel directors should get more credit for their work!

[@scottstark5528]

While I completely agree with you about Irvin Kershner directing The Empire Strikes back I have to disagree about Return of the Jedi. Kershner and Lucas butted heads alot during the entire production of Empire to the point that Kershner said he would never work for Lucas again and Lucas stating he would never hire kershner for another project. That is why Lucas turned to Richard Marquand to direct Return of the Jedi. Marquand was a new director, if Jedi wasn't his directorial debut it was definitely his highest profile at the time. Lucas walked all over him during production of Jedi and also oversaw the final edit of Jedi which Kershner refused of Lucas for Empire.

[@adamcade604]

@@scottstark5528 i can understand that return of the Jedi isn't on the level of the first Two, but Lucas stated on the commentary of the film that he was grateful that he hired Marquand because he thought he nailed the dramatic scenes between Luke and Vader better than he could ever do himself, which obviously was the best part of the movie!

The thing that I always found really silly with Gremlins (later on in life, not when I was a kid) was that it's always going to be "after midnight" somewhere on the planet. So is it actually related more to where the moon is in the sky compared to the location of the Mogwai? If so, then it must be a gravitational effect, because clouds and walls would prevent you from actually seeing it. Also, you can't fault people for thinking the Lion King said "Sex" when there was that Golden..."something" on the original cover of The Little Mermaid.
