20 Things You Somehow Missed In Beetlejuice

11. Michael Keaton Has Only 17 Minutes Of Screen Time

Michael Keaton cuts such a larger-than-life presence throughout the film that it's easy to assume he has a huge bulk of screen time, but would you believe that he's actually only in Beetlejuice for around 17 minutes?

To be clear, that's less than 20% of the movie's 92-minute runtime, and beyond that, he doesn't show up until almost a full half-hour into the story.

And yet, Keaton makes such a strong impression that it seems like he's in the film so much more than that, with the audience left thinking about him even when he's nowhere to be seen.
