8 Hidden Messages You Never Noticed In Famous Movies

2. See You Next Wednesday - John Landis' Filmography

Universal Pictures

You know John Landis as the man who made An American Werewolf in London and Michael Jackson's famous Thriller video. He's also a man who likes to repeat the same joke over and over again, as witnessed by the (fictional) movie See You Next Wednesday, which has been scattered throughout his filmography in various incarnations.

Seriously. See You Next Wednesday came to John Landis when he heard the line during a phone conversation in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Since then, he's included it somewhere in at least 12 of his movies and TV show ventures. Sometimes it's a movie poster, at other times the words are referenced in unsubtle dialogue cues.

Will we ever see a full-length version of See You Next Wednesday? I surely hope so, because going by the poster above (as glimpsed in the comedy/musical the Blues Brothers), it's about a giant gorilla going berserk downtown. Which is what all movies should be about, fundamentally.
