10 Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

6. Woody Harrelson's Character Tampers With His Grenade Before It Kills Him - The Thin Red Line

Woody Harrelson has a small but memorable role in Terrence Malick's war epic as Sgt. Keck, who memorably dies during an enemy engagement after reaching for his grenade and accidentally pulling out the pin.

Before he has time to react, he's mortally wounded by the exploding grenade, and though it's not immediately apparent to viewers, Keck essentially ended up getting himself killed.

Earlier in the film, Keck is seen using a knife to bend the pin on the grenade, a classic Army tactic intended to make pulling the pin faster in the heat of battle, but one that obviously comes at the expense of safety.

To most, it simply seems like Keck got a bum rap with a defective grenade, but if you're really paying attention to him earlier, he compromised the explosive device all by himself.
