10 Mind-Blowing Film Rumours That Turned Out To Be Fake

3. You Can See Jessica Rabbit's Private Parts In Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

A somewhat lighter rumour than the rest of the article can attest to, it's nonetheless still somewhat gross. In the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Eddie Valiant and Jessica Rabbit take a tumble out of a taxi when it suddenly crashes, flying through the air onscreen. Forever obsessed with sexy cartoon women as some people seem to be, it's often stated by those with too much time on their hands and too little imagination that, during the characters' flight, you can see up Jessica Rabbit's skirt and see her genitals in all their two-dimensional, hand-animated glory for a split-second. Thus, a new generation of Basic Instinct freeze-framers was born, ever trying to catch just the right spot where they could see Jessica's Rabbit. For some reason. Of course it's all balderdash: the frame simply doesn't exist where such things can be seen, except on the internet where photoshop mock-ups would have you believe otherwise. It's a kid's movie, for crying out loud!
