The Best Subliminal Messages Lurking Within 12 Of Our Favorite Films

7. TERMINATOR 2

When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel hit the theatres in 1991, it had a theme song:You Could be Mine By Guns N’ Roses. Cameron never admitted that he had the band in mind, but left some obvious clues. John Connor’s friend is wearing an LA Guns T-shirt, one of the two bands that later made GNR, and when the terminator finally arrives to take down the villain, he pulls out his gun from guess what? A box of roses!

8. JURASSIC PARK

Before the scientists of Jurassic Park had learnt the dangers of growing dinosaurs, they had come up with a unique way of controlling breeding. Ian Malcom warned that growing only female dinosaurs wasn’t going to work forever, but Alan Grant had already worked a theory to audiences. Only if we had looked closer! During the group’s ride to the island, Alan struggles with his seat belt. Why? He tries to connect two female ends, rather than swapping buckles or giving up, he fashions his own solution by tying them up. Just as mother nature would later in the movie, Alan too “finds a way.”

9. KING KONG

While watching a movie, we hardly think twice about a Morse code. That’s where the makers of King Kong got us. Just before reaching Skull Island, SS Venture’s captain Englehom intercepts a coded message calling for the arrest of Carl Denham. Yet the audio said nothing about the arrest, and instead, reads “show me the monkey.” A campy hidden message in honor of the film’s famous ape.
