Favorite film choice/s for hours of use of freeze frame feature

[Sean_Bailey10]

Taking The Exorcist on dvd as an example, where it contains a number of subliminal
visuals that need to be watched using a player's freeze frame feature,can readers
nominate any other creative and witty film choice/s,which have heaps of (or a at least
a few) fascinating visual details (not necessarily visual subliminals) to be enjoyed for many hours,using your player's freeze frame feature.

Please specify the interesting scenes and easy to miss fine details that make freeze
framing so worthwhile on any choice/s.

If this has been discussed before,please offer a link.

Supposedly, JFK contains many subliminal images.

Requiem for a Dream would be another one to check out.

*Just waiting for the Rock to chime in with some Vivid selections*

For me, though, the most I've used the freeze button at one time is for the opening title sequence of Se7en. Lots of little images flash up during that. I'd be curious to know what stuff like C24 and D37 and NOKEY mean.

All of those shots in Fight CLub where Tyler Durden pops into a single frame shots to pause on. Also at the start of the disc, there is a rant by Tyler Durden between the FBI warnings. And of course for the perverted there is always the splicing on single frames of sex scenes into the children movies. Any one tired this in real life?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Near the end of Se7en, after Brad Pitt looks in the box containing his wife's head, there is a single frame of Gwyneth Paltrow's face inserted.

Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.

Cool Devices. Too many scenes to mention, but using the freeze field/frame options has lead me to think of new, er, types of "relaxation".

Years ago, I saw an article on the LD version of star wars, how they freeze framed parts when Darth and the Emporer were fighting in Jedi... and how ILM actually went in and electified (in detail) bolts and nuts and circuitry in Darth that you could hardly see (they magnified them in the article).

It was pretty neat.

The opening sequence for Se7en is neat to do in slow mo.

Also, some of the death scenes in Starship Troopers are kick-ass.

If you watch Demolition Man, when Stallone and Bullock have 'sex', you can see images of some chick's breasts (definitely not Bullocks).

And, of course, slow-mo of Natural Born Killers, that's great.

I'll get back to you on others.

In Rushmore just before Ms. Cross confronts Max in the library ("You want me to grab a dictionary?"), we see a close-up of a paper that she is correcting. It's a funny little one-page essay about Benjamin Franklin (if I remember correctly) that you have to freeze-frame and zoom in on to read.

In Superman, Lex Luthor's map of the future California coastline has the town "Tesschmacher's Tetons" with an icon of two mountain peaks.

Btw, anyone else notice John Ratzenberger as the guy at the controls when the missles go off course? Good practice for his role in Empire Strikes Back, eh?

Oh, and just found this on the IMDB's goofs section. "When Superman screams in anger after he finds out that Lois Lane is dead, he reveals his tooth fillings." Ooops.

And stiles is right about Sandra Bullock, she has *no* nudity clause in all her contracts.

Its gotta be T2... just to see all the mistakes.

Some that come to mind:

The obvious stunt doubles during the truck/dirtbike scenes in the storm drain. The "pre-damaged" payphone (before Arnold punches it to get the change). The "pre-broken" window on the security shack at the mental hospital (before Arnold punches it to buzz the gate). The wires on Arnold when he jumps from the liquid nitrogen truck. And, of course, the T-1000's "pre-blown up" head just before Arnold shoots him point-blank with the shotgun in the mental hospital.

Plus, there's probably at least a dozen times that cameras/crew/equipment are visible in shots.

Don't get me wrong, I love this film. I just like to see screw-ups in films, and this movie is full of them.

Ambushbug,

I read this at one time - I remember it saying that he was still proud of his role in EST even years later - and every time I've seen the movie since then I look for him. But, I've never seen him. What scene(s) is he in?

Thanks!

After Leia gives the briefing to the huddle of pilots on Hoth (just before the walker attack), Ratzenberger is the one who says "Okay, everyone to your stations! Let's go!"

[Miggy]

Thanks, Porkchop! I know exactly where that line is. When I get home from work, I'm going to check that out. For some reason, I thought he played an Imperial Officer. Maybe that's why I kept missing it. I'm also guessing this was his only scene?

"Election," from 1999, features a newspaper article that more or less berates you for pausing the movie and reading it. Pretty funny, though I, for obvious reasons, cannot remember if the text was actually in the theatrical version.

[Ambushbug]

RE: John Rattzenberger in ESB. He can be seen in the scenes at 12 minutes and 24 minutes in on the special edition, provided you zero out your vcr's counter during the opening Fox fanfare.

In addition to the line Porkchop mentioned, he is also the one who tells Leia that the blast doors must be shut at the above mentioned 12 minute mark.

Hope this helps!

Not that I want to continue this massive derailment ( ), but Ratzenberger was also in Superman II. He was one of the NASA (??) technicians talking to the astronauts just before Zod and his cronies show up on the moon.

Sorry for the derailment, Taxi, but I always wondered that and I saw my chance to ask! Oops, I guess I'm just continuing the derailment

what about all the times that the T1000's "bulletholes" can be seen as what they really are -- tin can lids stuck to his clothes?

sorry to further derail the topic...

on topic: i once wore out a VHS tape of 3 Ninjas because i discovered how hilarious it is to freeze frame on the exact moment when one of the bad guys goes to take a big crap after the boys put exlax in his soda. the look on his face... now that guy must have been a method actor.
