please help! stupid sumbliminal message


ok i actually do like this movie and all and have`t seen it in years but i can`t find it anywhere to rent. Has anyone seen the supposed sumbliminal message?? Just tell us please. Or I wonder if it`s all just a hoax.

reply

I've never heard of this. Do you have any more details?

reply

yeah in the trivia section it says that about 30 min into the film there is a message written on the wave of a night scene of a beach. Just wondering if anyone has actually seen it. thanks!

reply

No, its NOT there. I have the VHS, laserdisc and the widescreen DVD and NOTHING. I checked for that particular scene numerous times, and there is nothing but a moonlight, waves, the beach and a beachsign.

reply

ha ha thanks for checking i thought i was all bogus. thanks!

reply

It's not a hoax, there is a message - it is "Please Keep Chairs" :)

reply

Really?? Where exactly?? LOL I wonder what that even means ;)

It appears exactly at 00:29:16, I think it's a reference to the sign boards we see near beaches which say "Please keep chairs off beach"

You will have to zoom in to see it (bottom right)

Oh wow. Haha thanks a lot Ninja! I saw the movie on Crackle sometime last year and I couldn't see it. At least now I know:)

It's not a subliminal message. It's just a sign on the beach. It was probably an accident which, if anyone on the production staff noticed, was left in because it wasn't cost-effective to remove it at the time.
