10 Incredible Comedy Movie Details You Definitely Missed

Hades is the god of the Underworld, the brother of Zeus, and quite possibly one of Disney's funniest villains. James Woods' rendition of this iconic mythological figure is an easy highlight of Hercules, but it seems that his version of Hades had more than just the ability to control the dead and shoot fire; he could also break the fourth wall. 

If you've seen this 1997 animated offering, you no doubt remember the titular character's epic encounter with the Hydra. After stepping toe-to-toe with this monstrous beast, the legendary hero managed to slice its head clean off, implying that he had won the fight. But, the dastardly Hades knew better, as he said, "Guys, guys, relax. It's only half-time," before the Hydra grew two new heads. 

Fascinatingly, this quote was not just typical villainous bragging. No, it was a meta gag inspired by the film's runtime. You see, Hades called "half-time" at the 46 minute mark, which placed this dialogue smack bang in the middle of the 92 minute movie. 

If you picked up on that the first time you watched this film, you'd better call up the Fates because you clearly have the gift of prophecy.
