Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are many misconceptions about popular movies that audiences believe to be true but have otherwise been corrected. Whether it's by word-of-mouth or conversations online, misconceptions about movies can spread fast and be taken as fact. Sometimes, if a misconception goes on long enough, other movies and TV shows can adapt the misbelieved details into their parodies and references.

It was believed that the boy was someone who had died on the sound stage years before Three Men and a Baby was filmed, but this is not the case. In reality, the "ghost" is a cardboard cutout of Danson intended to be used for another scene, but was eventually cut from the film. The rumor became so popular that the TV show Supernatural referred to the myth in the episode "Hollywood Babylon" in season 2.

However, co-director of Singin' in the Rain, Stanley Donen, debunked this myth and explained how lighting helped in pulling off the scene . Backlighting was used for the scene because relying solely on lighting in front of the rain washed the droplets out on camera. As fun of a conversation starter as it is, milk was not used to enhance the clarity of the raindrops.

However, many professionals, including dermatologist David E. Bank, said this was not possible . Bank pointed out, "We don't breathe through our skin." He further explained that had the gold been melted down into a liquid before being painted on someone, then damaging burns would be the result, but nothing would come of gold in paint form. Additionally, answers were sought out in a Mythbusters episode and a similar conclusion was produced.

4 Jason Voorhees' Weapon Of Choice Jason didn't use a chainsaw in Friday the 13th Many of the best slasher villains have a weapon they gravitate toward when on their killing sprees. For Friday the 13th killer, Jason Voorhees, audiences typically assign a chainsaw as his weapon of choice, but this would be incorrect. Instead, Jason's signature weapon is a machete. Still, a chainsaw has become synonymous with the hockey-masked antagonist, largely in part to an episode of The Simpsons.
