10 More Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight
5. The Melting Marshmallow Man Does The T2 "Thumbs Up" - Ghostbusters: Afterlife
You probably remember the scene from Ghostbusters: Afterlife where ghosts are let loose in a Walmart store, and we witness tiny versions of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man coming to life, before cheerily melting themselves and being turned into S'mores.
But pay close attention when one of the delicious little guys is melting on top of a barbecue grill - as he turns to sugary goop and disappears through the grill, he makes a very distinctive hand gesture.
The li'l Marshmallow Man raises up his thumb, in what's clearly a reference to the ending of Terminator 2, where the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) does the very same thing while being lowered into the molten steel and destroyed (terminated, even).
It's tough to spot without hitting the pause button and scrubbing through the scene frame-by-frame, but sure enough, the guy's little thumb can be seen raising up, apparently telling his tiny edible pals that everything's going to be OK.
