What I have collected in this site are what we like to call "urban legends". These are all things about movies that have, in recent years, been believed to be true by some people. Why they believe them is beyond me, although some of them are kind of funny. Please note that I have ripped them all off of other sites, so originality is not in abundance here. But they are all still very interesting. I hope you enjoy them.
-There is a perisent rumor that you can see the outline of a ghost of a dead child behind a curtain in the movie Three Men and A Baby. The rumor says that the boy blew his own head off with a shotgun at the house where they shot the movie, and the parents sued the filmmakers when they saw the movie. Needless to say, this story is crap. What we actually see behind the curtain is a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson's character advertising dog food. This was supposedly a sub plot cut out of the movie. The movie was shot on sets as well, not a real house.
-Some people also say that the movie Back To The Future 2 predicted the outcome of the World Series of Baseball in 1997. Apperantly, in the movie, a character from the future says they collected big by betting on the Marlins in 1997. Actuallu, no, what is said in the movie is that Miami wins the world series in the year 2015. What is interesting to note however, is that the movie did predict that Miami would have a baseball team, as they didn't in 1985, when the movie was released.
-Slyvester Stallone actually did get his start by acting in a porno film, this is not just an urban legend. The movie was called Party At Kitty And Suds, and while it is relatively soft, we do see Sly in the buff. In fact, we see him a lot. After the success of Rocky the distributor cut a large amount of the sex and retitled the film "The Italian Stallion". It is available on video, but I don't really suggest checking it out.
-All of the Faces Of Death movies are fake. Every one. Actually no, a few of them do contain real footage from accidents, but that footage is the exception, not the rule. No government authority has ever actually found a snuff movie, but it is my opinion that they do exist (something like couldn't not exist, people are too sick), but those that commission them are good at covering up their tracks.
-Many people believe that if you look very closely at one scene in The Wizard Of Oz, you can see a dawrf hang himself in the background. By all accounts this is not true, but who knows? In one scene you can clearly see something in the background, but what is it? We may never know?
-The Disney Company actually did produce a very short, animated classrom film called The Story Of Mensturation. I have never seen it, and I don't know anyone who has seen it, but I bet it is pretty damn interesting.
-The Coen Brother are some of the weirdest filmmakers out there, but are they liars too? Yes, I'm afraid, to say. Many people believed the brothers when they claimed their film Fargo was a true story. They made it all up, all of it. Had you fooled, didn't they?
-Everyone knows this now, but I'll but it one here, if only to kill space. The Blair Witch Project is completely false. Writer/Directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchex made up all the history of the Blair Witch, and the three actors improvised all the dialogue and shot all the footage.
-The Deer Hunter has actually provoked people to play russian roulette and kill themselves. This is true.
-"The Madness of King George" is the film adaptation of the Alan Bennett play "The Madness of George III," its title changed because the distributor was afraid Americans might think it a sequel. This is false. They changed the title for no good reason really, and I doubt that the studio would have tried to aim the movie at anyone that stupid anyway.
