Don’t be that person. Pay attention, would ya?

Age of Ultron

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Everyone creates the thing they dread, says Ultron. People create children. Designed to supplant them, to help them end. So surely he could have guessed that the Vision he created would destroy him and take his place? CRACKED.COM

Solo

This scene in Solo hinted we'd soon see Darth Maul. Dryden's weapon of choice is a two-bladed glowstick knife, essentially a miniature version of Maul's double-bladed lightsaber. Plus, the lines on his face vaguely recall Maul's KISS-Army-like mug. CRACKED.COM

The Dark Knight Rises

Miranda's Dark Knight Rises scar ... ... really should have looked familiar to Bruce. It's the League of Assassins brand from Batman Begins. We also get hints that she's connected to Ra's Al Ghul because she keeps quoting him. Both say they want to restore the balance and do what is necessary. CRACKED.COM

Moon

Check out this T-shirt from the start of Moon. WAKE WHEN ME T'S OLITING TIME Wake me up when it's quitting time has a double meaning. We later learn that when one clone wakes up for the first time on the station, that means it was quitting time for the expired clone. CRACKED.COM

Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner 2049 hints that Deckard's child was a girl, not a boy like K. In a memory, we see the mop-haired child chased through an orphanage by a group of boys with shaved heads. к visits the place, and only the girls keep their hair, so he couldn't be the grown-up child. CRACKED.COM

Coco

When you rewatch Coco... Look for gold teeth. The guitar in the photo of Miguel's disgraced ancestor has a gold tooth. Miguel thinks the ancestor is Ernesto de la Cruz, but Ernesto has no gold tooth. Hector does. CRACKED.COM

The Wolverine

I see you on your back. There's blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand. So predicts a mutant in The Wolverine, when asked how Logan will die.

The Last Jedi

Watch Leia in The Last Jedi. Then see what comes later. She cuts through a hologram of the Supremacy, the flagship of the First Order ... in pretty much the same place Holdo nails the real ship later on, with us viewing the ship at the same angle. CRACKED.COM

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park's Alan makes a faulty seat belt work by tying two buckles. Не needs to create something new and all he has are receiving, or female, parts. So he improvises. This is exactly what ends up happening with the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, who reproduce despite no males being available. CRACKED.COM

Reservoir Dogs

As Reservoir Dogs begins, Mr. Orange tattles on non-tipper Mr. Pink. So, who's the rat later on who informs on the gang to the police? Mr. Orange, of course. As you'd know if you paid attention to the opening scene, which defines everyone's character. CRACKED.COM

The Avengers

HTGH SCORE 36610 36610 Tony spots an agent playing Galaga in The Avengers. In Galaga, you play as a fighter against seemingly endless waves of alien invaders that pour down. That's exactly what the film's climax turns out to be. CRACKED.COM

Deadpool 2

This screen is from a Deadpool 2 trailer. Production DesD DAVID SCHEUNEMANN Nice Juggs! This one's from the credits.

Promos otherwise kept Juggernaut secret, even editing lyrics on the soundtrack release to avoid spoiling his appearance. CRACKED.COM

Fight Club

TELNEX PUB Squint at the text on this Fight Club pay phone. This phone that rings with a call from Tyler Durden has a hard-to-read notice saying: No Incoming Calls Allowed. Which means the phone didn't ring at all, hinting that the narrator was really talking to himself. CRACKED.COM
