10 Insanely Accurate Movie Details You Never Noticed

The 2005 action comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith features Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as the eponymous couple, John and Jane. The movie inextricably linked with the "Brangelina" celebrity phenomenon follows a pair of competing assassins. The twist? They are married to each other, with no knowledge of their partner's vocation.

An early sequence depicts the duo visiting a fairground for their first date, where they take part in a rifle range. Jane initially feigns incompetence with the weapon but John only misses one shot, accrediting his success to "beginner's luck". His ultra-competitive soon-to-be wife then proceeds to effortlessly gun down every single target, teasing her new beau with the same excuse.

Viewers were probably too busy smirking at Mr. Smith's comeuppance to notice a superb piece of weapons-oriented detail. As John takes his turn, he quickly closes his left eye and opens it again just before he fires. This innocuous action is actually a common practice amongst seasoned marksmen. It's done to retain peripheral vision, allowing the shooter to take in the surrounding area while simultaneously aiming down their scope.

A bonafide blink-and-you'll-miss-it piece of authentic detail.
