“Anchorman” is one of those movies that crafts subtle jokes into every scene they could fit. For the audience that can read Spanish, this joke is enough to make anyone pause to read. In this scene is a Mexican restaurant with a pretty odd name.
The name translated into English is: “We spit in your food.” However, this joke speaks to a specific crowd, those who can read the language pause and giggle during this scene. We love it, and we think it’s extra sophisticated when you plant a joke or a hidden message that doesn’t apply to all of the viewers. Give us more!
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988):
When "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" came out, the rules of the movie world chaged foreve. For the first time relaity and animation were colided on screen prociding a unique and never seen before experiance. Everyone knows that Jessica Rabbit is one of the most bodacious animated characters of all time.
In the 1988 film, the red-haired woman often makes the people around her stop and stare at the screen. Off-screen, it had the same effect; only viewers had to pause the film physically. It is important to remind fans that she is not real, which in all honesty, can be easy to forget.
Total Recall (1990)
Before he was known as the Former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in some of the greatest movies. His role in perhaps one of his biggest flicks, "Total Recall," led many to hit the pause button. There is a scene in the science action film in which he is surveying the Martian planet and comes across a character that is different than many expect.
It is that same difference that caused fans to pause and ponder. In the late days of the 20th centiry, Arnold Schwarzenegger would become one of the most famouse actors in the industry, making it big in 'Twins", Terminator" and many others.
Before I Go to Sleep (2014)
Nicole Kidman has been adorning on screens for a few decades now, and she is most loved for her extraordinary performance in "Eyes Wide Shut,," "Cold Mountain," and "The Others." In the psychological thriller "Before I Go to Sleep," Nicole Kidman plays Christine Lucas, an amnesiac whose memories fade each time she falls asleep.
The film itself didn’t win much praise from critics; one scene, in particular, captured the attention of plenty of viewers. One of the scenes that had the film's viewers pressing pause on repeat was the scene where Kidman appears to be standing bare, looking at a bunch of hanging photographs on the wall.
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
When you think of Chris Hemsworth, the last thing you think of is a horror movie, right? In 2011, Hemsworth was cast in "The Cabin in the Woods," a modern horror movie that tried to make things a little different. The film has one of the most-paused scenes in recent history. The scene involved the controllers of the monsters showcasing which monsters and demons they do have control over, showing exactly how many.
The fine details make many want to pause and review the scene. "The Cabin in the Woods" is not the only film Hemsworth impressed us with. His role in "Star Trek," "Rush," and the "Avengers" series are only some of the names he is associated with.
