Movie Urban Legends

11-08-2008 9:13pm#1I'll get us underway with probably the most well known.
3 Men & A Baby
From Wiki:In the final cut of the movie, there is a scene, just over an hour into the film, in which Jack Holden (Ted Danson) and his mother (Celeste Holm) walk through the house with the baby. As they do so, they pass a background window on the lefthand side of the screen, and a black outline that appears to resemble a rifle pointed down can be seen behind the curtains. As the characters walk back past the window 40 seconds later, a human figure can be seen in that window. A persistent urban legend began circulating August 1990 (shortly before the film's sequel, Three Men and a Little Lady, premiered) that this was the ghost of a boy who had been killed in the house where the movie was filmed.
The most common version of this rumor was that a nine-year-old boy committed suicide with a shotgun there, which is inspired by the earlier shape. This notion was discussed on the first episode of TV Land: Myths and Legends in January 2007[3] and was referenced on an episode of Family Guy, and in "Hollywood Babylon", a second season episode of the TV series Supernatural. A variation of the legend states that the ghost was Eric Clapton's son Conor, who died of a fall from a 53rd story window in 1991, over three years after the movie was released. The variation states that Clapton allowed the movie to be filmed in his New York City condominium
However, according to Snopes.com, a website dedicated to investigating urban legends, the figure is a cardboard cutout "standee" of Jack, wearing a tuxedo and top hat, that was left on the set. This prop was created as part of the storyline, in which Jack, an actor, appears in a dog food commercial, but this portion of the story was cut from the final version of the film. The standee does show up later in the film, however, when Jack stands next to it as the baby's mother comes to reclaim her child. Snopes contends that the figure in the first scene looks smaller from its appearance in the latter scene because of the distance and angle of the shot, and because the curtains obscure its outstretched arms. As for the contention that a boy died in the house, all the indoor scenes in the film were shot on a Toronto soundstage, and no residential dwellings were used for interior filming.[5][6]

What about the hanging munchkin in The Wizard of Oz?
Eh? A few members of the cast died in odd circumstances (most notably Dominique Dunne and Heather O Rourke... very sadEvery single person involved in the making of the Exorcist died a strange death soon afterwards
). But every person? Craig T Nelson and JoBeth Williams are still alive and kicking, as is Tobe Hooper. Not to mention MANY MANY others in the crew. 0 -

The Legend: When the character Simba kicks up a cloud of dust while perched on a high cliff about two-thirds of the way through this animated Disney film, the swirling cloud briefly congeals to form the letters "S-E-X."

Speaking of Disney (its not in that vid)
THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989)As if the giant cock pillar (see #8) wasn't enough to torment kids, now they have Ministers performing a service rock hard. Just as the wedding bells begin to chime we get what looks like the Master of Ceremonies sprouting wood at the bride. It's actually supposed to be his knee but looking at the remastered version on the right above, you know somebody realized they f*cked up huge. Nice hat.
