20 Things You Didn't Know About The Sixth Sense

15. Malcolm Has Zero Real Interaction With Anyone But Cole

The next time you watch The Sixth Sense back, be sure to keep an eye out for this.

Throughout the entire movie, we never see Bruce Willis’ Malcolm actually physically interact with anyone or anything bar young Cole - well, except for the opening act.

That scene where Malcolm is in a restaurant with his wife? His chair is already pulled out and his wife grabs the check. Any time Malcolm walks through a door? It’s already open.

The only things that Malcolm actually does touch or move are the Latin dictionary and his tape recorder – both of which can be attributed to the spooky shenanigans of Malcolm’s ultimately chilling fate.
