10 Even More Movies With Ridiculously Subtle Foreshadowing

3. Alan Grant's Belt Buckle - Jurassic Park

There can be no denying that Jurassic Park is an important staple of the cinematic industry. The movie released over 30 years ago, its visuals still hold up to this day, the franchise is still relevant to this day (albeit never since reaching the lofty heights of 1993), and it produced more than a few iconic moments.

One of the most memorable, and quotable, is Jeff Goldblum's Ian Malcolm telling John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) that life uh... finds a way. This was his explanation as to why he had concerns about an island of all-female dinosaurs eventually breeding - concerns that were vindicated during their stay on Isla Nublar.

Since some of the animals had their dino DNA patched up with that of frogs, some of which had been known to change sex in a single gender environment, a number of the dinosaurs followed suit. Life found a way, as did Alan Grant's (Sam Neill) seatbelt on the helicopter ride to the park.

It sounds strange that those two things could be connected, but exactly the same thing happened. When beginning their descent, Grant found that he had two female parts to a belt buckle, and so couldn't connect them. Instead, he simply tied them in a knot around his waist. He found a way to work around the situation, just as life did with all female dinosaurs.
