35 Paused Movie Scenes That Are Too Good To Be True

Some of the most jaw-dropping moments in movies can happen so quickly that you simply have to pause to understand exactly what's happening. Blink at the following paused movie scenes and you might miss them!

It has to be, without a doubt, one of the most iconic and provocative shots in all of movie history. Sharon Stone certainly stole headlines for her performance in 1992's Basic Instinct. However, this scene ultimately overshadowed the entire movie and for obvious reasons. It's amazing how many people failed to finish the movie because they paused on this scene.

Just before the turn of the millennium, the animated movie Tarzan arrived in theaters and Phil Collins's soundtrack stole our hearts. Interestingly though, the movie has a fascinating crossover with another Disney movie. It is no coincidence that the teapot and cup look extremely familiar. This is because they are supposed to be Mrs. Potts and her adorable son Chip from Beauty and the Beast. How they got into the jungle and are now used by gorillas, we will never know...

While there has since been a sequel, 1982's Tron will have a warm place in many people's hearts due to its unquestionable arcade feel. In one scene of the movie, David Warner, who plays the character Ed Dillinger, can be seen with the gameplay of the classic video game Pac-Man. You don't believe us? See the following screenshot of the iconic circular character chomping away at yellow dots on the right-hand side. This is true '80s nostalgia at its finest.

One of the most hilarious moments in the Star Wars film franchise that people can't help but rewind and playback over and over again is in the very first installment, A New Hope. In a scene midway through the movie, a group of stormtroopers can be seen walking through the door. However, one of them accidentally hits their head on the top of the door. It turns out that this was just an accident that made it into the final cut!
