People very rarely watch movies with subtitles. This limits the amount of information they can convey. However, anyone who reads a caption can usually get to know a codename or an otherwise unintelligible sound. Of course, it doesn’t happen in every movie with closed captions. But, it can reveal movie details that would otherwise be hidden. Here is a list of 10 Movie Details that were Secretly revealed in the Subtitles.

1. In Midsommar (2019), most of the Swedish dialogue spoken by the natives is deliberately not subtitled to create a sense of isolation for the audience and especially for the foreign visitors.

2. InThat Thing You Do!(1996), the TV subtitle that mistakenly says “Jimmy is engaged” refers to the Beatles’ appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

10Each of the Joker’s goons is given a codename during the bank robbery scene inThe Dark Knight(2008), most of which are based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Joker’s codename is never revealed on screen, but if you watch the movie with the subtitles turned on, you’ll find out it’s Bozo.
