It is already a tradition to use certain cinematographic tricks, kept secrets, details, edits and even playback for some of the more complicated scenes in the movies. However, few are known within the entertainment world.
Among all the action moments, mistakes, small details that link an entire saga and even legendary cameos, these 10 hidden details or well-executed tricks of the most famous films of history will leave you open-mouthed.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody
The scene where they play the legendary Live Aid concert was completely computer generated and filmed in an open field in England.
2. Clueless
The “Pismo” beach disaster was invented by Amy Heckerling, the film’s writer, to provide context for Cher and her friends’ fundraising event.

The final battle takes place in the fictional city of Sokovia, but was actually filmed at a London police training college. One of the statues that appear is that of Robert Peel.
