The Incredibles (2004)

The Incredibles (2004)
Trivia: The family's last name, Parr, was chosen on purpose, as it sounds exactly like the golf term "par" - which means average. This was done as a clever pun to further point out that Bob literally went from an "Incredible" to "Average" when superhero work was banned.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Trivia: Some of the people in Jim Cunningham's video make cameo appearances at Donnie's school. The little boy on the video is the same kid that asked "how can I learn to fight" at the assembly in the auditorium. Also, the older girl in the video is the same girl who shows the newspaper with Jim Cunningham's arrest to Miss Farmer in the High School's main office. Their presence and/or placement at the school seems to indicate that Jim Cunningham's entire "Q + A" seminar at the school was staged, including the questions to be asked of him. This would also prove Donnie right about Jim Cunningham being a fake, only pretending to help people, as well as explaining his rapid success which is evidenced by his large home.

Click (2006)
Trivia: In the first scene of the 2023 timeline, the TV has the news on, and behind Michael is the "Freedom Tower" in the background. It's also seen at wedding scene in 2030, although there are now two towers instead of one very large tower, which is the way the "real" Freedom Tower is supposed to be built. In the same shot, a 147-year-old Brooklyn Bridge is seen in the background as well.

The Mask (1994)

Trivia: Noah's commercial for Noah's Arcade has the video game "Sonic The Hedgehog" in the background, which was released on the Sega Genesis, and is not an "arcade" game. This is a deliberate pun as to just how clueless Noah Vanderhoff is to the video game market.

One wants to signal for help, and the other wants to stay on the island. A line is drawn between the two sides. The dead parachuter in the trees is the directly-channeled "beastie" in the book. Maurice assumes the floor in the meeting by blowing the conch shell.

General questions
When I was a kid, I remember seeing a movie in the early 80's, and all I can remember is at the end, a ghost train comes crashing through the house in the living room. Prior to this, you can see the light approaching, and I think there was a kid that yelled that the train was coming towards the house. Anyone know what film this was? It may have been a made for TV movie, but I think it was a regular film.
