"The idea was for me to learn some new ones myself and share with others."The viral thread includes over 20 truly fascinating tidbits. Here are some that truly shocked us.In The Matrix they couldn't hide the camera in doorknob reflection, so the camera still shows but they tried to disguise it with a coat to match Morpheus tie. pic.twitter.com/LB6V8aNT2i' David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 15, 2018In Unthinkable (2010) there's a scene where someone defuses a Nuclear Bomb using Excel, and it's just random letters!!! pic.twitter.com/0gexK5gGUh' David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 15, 2018Sid returns in Toy Story 3 as the garbage man pic.twitter.com/dhbqxsKyfy' David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 15, 2018Zazu in Lion King (1994) said Scar would make a handsome throw rug, in Hercules (1997) you can see him throwing a pelt that looks exactly like Scar pic.twitter.com/ss8OPyVUv7' David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 16, 2018In Jurassic Park (1993) for the famous water cup scene, Steven Spielberg wanted timed concentric rings, starting from the center, moving its way out.

They molded an inflatable bread, it was deflated underneath the liquid and then slowly inflated it and sucked out the liquid with vacuum pumps pic.twitter.com/SVKt4zC9WY' David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 17, 2018For the famous Star Wars (IV-V-VI) opening crawl they used a camera moving along a physical model slightly tilted.
