Movies/T.V. that make a person go.....what's really going on?

[marsattacks666]

For years there has been rumors of many films/t.v. shows that have, let's just say, hidden
messages, plots or certain ambiguous nature. This is a touchy subject, I don't want
to offend anyone. But...... I will, that's what I am good at. Here is to name a few  rumored films:
Risky Business, Nightmare on Elm st.II, Thelma and Louise, 300,
Top Gun, Footloose, Road Warrior, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and really
there are too many to list.


I was just curious on everyones take on this, feelings, opinions or whatever.
If anyone here has any films/t.v. show they would like to add, and why they feel
the film/t,v, show is questionable. Again, not to offend anyone, and I would like to
add, be respectful to others. This THREAD would
definitely be a........

I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I can be a bit naive or maybe just "thick".    I don't usually look for hidden agendas or secret messages. 

Of the films that you have mentioned, what have you heard?    I don't mean what you believe,    so there is not a question about yourself to be upset at, but just "what have you heard"?

What are they supposed to make us do?

Buy Post Toasties, or whatever else the sponsors are pushing.

The original King Kong supposedly was pitching 'Mrs. Zabkuwski's Homemade Apple Pies'...... OK, it wasn't------OR WAS IT!!?

[Fester]

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had a secret agenda?

OH, yeah! . . .The product placement for Schwinn!

[ChattyLMS]

I heard that but I thought that marketers tried it an found that didn't work.  I don't have anything to substantiate this however.  I also understand that if you play one of the Beatles records backward that it says something about marijuana.  I did that and did hear the word marijuana.  But I still think that's a bunch of baloney.  How could anybody possibly do that?  It was just way too stupid.  It was an interesting coincidence, however. 

[Fester]

There are lots of rumors of back masking.  Supposedly Revolution 9 by the Beatles said "Turn me on Dead Man" when played backwards.  When I tired it on my record--all it did was screw up the needle and broke the turntable drive belt.  The only message I got from that was Dad yelling at me for breaking his stereo.

As far as movie secret messages: The easiest way to increase concession sales was to have the popcorn popper near the theater heating/ac ducts.  Worked like a charm.

Lest we not forgot the grandaddy of backwards masking

"Paul is Dead"

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

Or like Barney's "I love you song" when you play it backwards, you hear the message, "Barney is the antichrist, drink his blood"

That Can't be true Doc!!! I love Barney, and I don't care who knows it!    I heard that Another one bites the dust backwards says I've decided to smoke marijuana! Some old man told me that when I was in my 20s and I finally got the technology to play it backwards and I heard "roraroaorararra".

Man, I hate Barney with a purple passion.

                                                                         How on Earth can anyone be offended when no one knows what you're talking about. We are all adults here and I don't think anyone is going to run off and cry in a corner...so could you just come out and say what is so        questionable about any of the movies you mentioned?
