10 Classic Movie Details You Never Noticed

9. Stu Checks His Head In The Mirror - Scream

Movie Details You Missed
Miramax

In the original Scream, Sydney (Neve Campbell) heads to school the morning after being attacked by Ghostface, where she meets up with friends Tatum (Rose McGowan) and Stu (Matthew Lillard) by their lockers.

As Sydney talks to Tatum, we can see Stu checking out his reflection with a mirror in Tatum's locker, but if you look closely, you might notice that he's actually looking very pointedly at his forehead.

Given that we later learn that Stu was the Ghostface who attacked Syd the night before and got into quite the scuffle with her, it's clear that Stu is using the mirror to give his forehead a once-over and check for any bruises or blemishes that might give him away.

While doing this at school, in front of Sydney herself no less, is definitely playing a dangerous game, nobody ever said that Stu was the sharpest tool in the shed, did they now?
