Writers, directors, and main cast members are often credited for a movie's success of failure, but countless professionals leave their mark on every feature film. However, from time to time, those marks are a bit more literal. Certain directors, special effects gurus, and editors have been known to insert hidden messages into fan-favorite films. In honor of these sly moviemakers, we've compiled a list of our favorites.

We’re focusing on frames, text, and audio that is literally hidden in each movie – not simple easter eggs (like the Egyptian etching of R2-D2 and C-3PO in Raiders of the Lost Ark or the The Bride's "F*** You" sneaker soles in Kill Bill, Vol. 1).

Writers, directors, and main cast members
are often credited for a movie's success of
failure, but countless professionals leave
their mark on every feature film. However,
from time to time, those marks are a bit more
literal. Certain directors, special effects
gurus, and editors have been known to insert
hidden messages into fan-favorite films. In
honor of these sly moviemakers, we've compiled
a list of our favorites.
We�re focusing on frames, text, and audio
that is literally hidden in each movie � not
simple easter eggs (like the Egyptian etching
of R2-D2 and C-3PO in Raiders of the Lost
Ark or the The Bride's "F*** You" sneaker
soles in Kill Bill, Vol. 1).
Here are our favorite hidden messages in famous
movies.
1. The Lion King (1994)
When Simba flops down on a cliffside, a cloud
of dust is pushed up into the air � and
three controversial letters appear. For years,
the frame was scrutinized as a subliminal
message intended to promote sexuality to children.
However, the film's animators have since claimed
the letters were intended to spell SFX - a
nod to the Lion King's special effects department.
Disney could have devised the SFX explanation
after the fact in order to quell outrage from
concerned parents, but it's equally possible
that the SEX controversy took-off simply because
it's the more scandalous headline - especially
in popular kids movie.
2. I Am Legend (2007)
During the Times Square hunting sequence in
I Am Legend, Will Smith passes a billboard
advertising a Superman and Batman team-up
film set to open on May 15, 2010. Given the
2007 I Am Legend release, had the tongue-in-cheek
easter egg come true, the film would have
likely featured Brandon Routh (whose Superman
Returns was released in 2006) and Christian
Bale (who debuted as Batman in 2005).
Of course, Warner Bros. has since put together
an actual Batman V Superman crossover in their
Man of Steel sequel, starring Henry Cavill
and Ben Affleck in the iconic roles. So, I
Am Legend really did include a hidden message
from Warner Bros. � speficially: they've
wanted to cash-in with a World's Finest team-up
for more than half a decade.
3. Fight Club (1999)
Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt) reveals
that while working as a film projectionist,
he would splice images of male genitalia into
films - which were nearly imperceptible to
moviegoers. For the Fight Club movie, director
David Fincher took a similar approach � splicing
in a penis picture as well as four brief flashes
of Durden in scenes prior to the character's
official introduction.
According to Fincher, the purpose of the subliminal
frames was to show that "our hero is creating
Tyler Durden in his own mind, so at this point
he exists only on the periphery of the narrator's
consciousness." Fincher also foreshadowed
the film�s twist with a blink-and-you�ll
miss it label on a pay phone the Narrator
uses - which reads "No Incoming Calls Allowed."
Moments later, Tyler Durden calls the pay
phone.
4. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Veronica Corningstone (played by Christina
Applegate) visits a Mexican restaurant with
other women from KVWN Channel 4 to punish
Ron Burgandy and the �News Team� for their
sexist views. The restaurant the ladies visit
is the �Escupimos en su Alimento� - which,
when translated in Spanish, actually means
�we spit in your food."
Given the talent behind Anchorman (including
Judd Apatow and Will Farell), it shouldn't
come as a complete surprise that one of the
funniest gags (in an already hilarious film)
is also one that most American moviegoers
will miss entirely.
5. The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Typically in movies, license plates are designed
to blend into the scenery without a second
thought. But in the Matrix trilogy, many of
the vehicle plates are shorthand references
to religious scripture. At the beginning of
The Matrix Reloaded, Agent Smith's license
plate reads "IS5416," which corresponds to
Isaiah 54:16: "Behold, I have created the
smith, who blows the fire of coals, and produces
a weapon for its purpose. I have also created
the ravager to destroy." During the highway
chase sequence, Trinity's Cadillac plate reads
"DA203," which corresponds to Daniel 2:03:
"He said to them, 'I have had a dream that
troubles me and I want to know what it means.'"
Of course, license plates aren't the only
references to religious texts in the Matrix
series. The name of Morpheus's ship, the Nebuchadnezzar,
was also a Babylonian King � and not-so-coincidentally
the speaker chronicled in the aforementioned
Daniel 2:03 text.
6. King Kong (2005)
Most movies rely on character dialogue to
explain non-verbal and non-visual information
to viewers � but audiences rarely think
twice when watching an actor receive a message
through morse code. We accept that the coded
message actually matches what characters are
reporting onscreen.
But in the case of Peter Jackson's King Kong
remake, the director included a tongue-in-cheek
message for savvy moviegoers who actually
took the time to translate. Just before reaching
Skull Island, SS Venture's Captain Englehorn
intercepts a coded message calling for the
arrest of Carl Denham. Yet, the audible code
does not actually say anything about an arrest,
and instead reads: "Show me the monkey!" A
campy hidden message in honor of the film's
famous ape, and one that will probably make
readers think twice the next time they hear
morse code in a movie.
7. Sunshine (2007)
While on a mission to the Sun, the Icarus
II crew receives a distress signal from the
long-missing Icarus I and decides to rendezvous
with the ship. When the group board the Icarus
I, their flashlights periodically shine directly
into the camera (and out at the audience).
Each time, roughly 49 minutes into the film,
director Danny Boyle spliced in hidden frames
of the now deceased Icarus I crew members.
What makes the hidden message especially creepy?
The pictures are from a happy Hawaiian-themed
party that took place prior to the demise
of Icarus I�s crew. One character even encounters
the full group photo (from which each flash
is taken) later on in the film. Boyle hasn't
discussed the hidden frames officially but
the flashes definitely work as a subliminal
way of setting audience members on edge without
directly revealing
the fate of
the Icarus I crew.
8. Cloverfield (2008)
In the final moments of Cloverfield, Rob and
Beth seek refuge from the creature under Central
Park's Greyshot Arch. Moments later, an air
raid strike buries the couple (and the camera)
in rubble from the bridge - presumably killing
the Cloverfield monster. But following the
film credits, director Matt Reeves included
a brief, 5-second piece of garbled audio that
hints at a different outcome. When reversed,
the audio recording (which sounds like a military
mission report) clearly states: "It's Still
Alive". This indicates that the creature wasn't
killed in the airstrike while also setting
the stage for a possible, though yet to be
released, Cloverfield 2.
Furthermore, the post-credits audio message
isn't the only secret in Cloverfield - as
the film also contains three hidden frames
from classic monster movies: Them!, The Beast
from 20,000 Fathoms, and King Kong.
