15 Most Paused Movie Moments Of 2017

14. Peter's Grandfather - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2

Guardians Of The Galaxy Grandfather Quill
Marvel Studios

In James Gunn's excellent MCU sequel, after Ego is revealed to be the villain and activates his seedling pods on the planets he wants to terraform in his own image, the one he left in Missouri starts to take over the streets. In the process, the weird alien mass narrowly avoids crushing a car as Ego is killed by the Guardians and his powers are deactivated.

If you look closely at the car that just survives - with the help of the pause button - you'll see that the car is carrying Peter Quill's grandfather, played by Gregg Henry once more.

As a bonus, the same scene sees an old couple who ask what the hell the giant blob is, who are played by Jim Gunn Sr. and Leotta Gunn, parents of James and Sean Gunn.
