10 Movie Franchises With Recurring Easter Eggs
5. The Hitchcock Cameo (Hitchcock Movies)
The Hitchcock film library may as well be a franchise in and of itself, seeing as how no one has quite replicated the same energy, intensity, and suspense he did with his films. But there's also a certain trend that everyone's favorite well-spoken perv revolutionized: the director cameo.
Before every director who felt clever that day was doing it to make internet theorists feel equally clever, Hitchcock was doing it in a way that you would hardly even notice. Sure some were obvious, such as him clearly leaving the pet shop that Tippi Hedren enters immediately after in The Birds, but then some were straight up cryptic, like his appearance in Lifeboat, where he's in a before and after photo in a newspaper.
Like with other cameo easter eggs that we'll get into later, it was always fun to pick out the guy in every film he showed up in. You wouldn't think such a large guy could hide so easily, but then, if anyone could, it would be Hitchcock.
