10 Terrifying Secrets Hidden In Famous Movies

10. Not Playing With Chips - Django Unchained

Time and time again, Quentin Tarantino has shown a real flair for depicting violence. As a result, it's no surprise the esteemed director's slave revenge story, Django Unchained, doesn't shy away from the darkest aspects of the subject matter. The Oscar-winning drama depicts hangings, torture, attempted castrating, and an absurd amount of bloodshed.

Having said that, there's one sickening moment that's easy to miss. Just before our silver-tongued hero blows away the trackers during the third act, they're sitting at the table while playing a round of poker.

On closer inspection, it's clear the trackers aren't playing with poker chips, but human ears. More specifically, they're playing with the severed ears of slaves. 

As disturbing as that sounds, it gets worse. While rewatching the movie, slaves without ears can be seen at Calvin Candie's estate.

Even though the trackers are obviously the scum of the Earth, seeing them casually using body parts to gamble highlights how morally bankrupt they truly are. After noticing this gruesome detail, Django's massacre against Candie's lackeys is somehow even more satisfying than it was to begin with.
