20 Hidden Movie Frames You Probably Missed In Famous Movies

14. The Secret Dead Body - Akira

Legendary 1988 anime classic Akira certainly doesn't leave the audience wanting for WTF moments, and though this hidden frame can't even begin to match the movie's grotesque body horror climax, it is nevertheless unnerving in its own way.

During the film's opening cycle chase, we see several of the assailants driving through an alleyway, with a focus on one of them riding through a huge pile of trash.

For just two frames, however, it's possible to faintly see a dead man's face lifelessly peering out of a bin in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Given that one of the man's limbs also appears to be awkwardly contorted, we can safely assume this was a most horrid death.

Whether some sort of wider social commentary or a low-key attempt to flesh out this wonderfully grimy world, it's a shocking find for anyone who stumbles across it.
