SPLIT Easter Egg in Unbreakable.


Kevin and his mother (From the movie Split) are in Unbreakable, In the scene just before Willis finds the drug dealer at the stadium, he brushes past Kevin and his abusive mother and Willis sensor's the Mothers child abuse and turns around to them before brushing up against the drug dealer soon after.

It happens almost in the middle of the movie when Dunns wife starts speaking with Mr Glass in the hospital.

I've always wondered what David saw in that scene. That's the one time they don't show us anything. Always bothered/disturbed me.

The timeline doesn't match up though. Unless Kevin is supposed to be in his early 20s in Split.

reply

I'd say Kevin is more around 30.

M Nights said at the Spain film festival interview that Kevin is in his 20s, His father abandoned him when he was 8-9 years old about the same age as the abused kid in Unbreakable.

maybe Dunn will save Kevin?

What makes you think that's Kevin Crumb and his mother? Why isn't that boy and his mother just some random boy and his mother? I've heard other people saying that too, but no-one has substantiated it with any evidence. I'd really like to believe it, but I need an explanation!

1) He grow up in Philadelphia.
2) His mother was abusive.
3) In Split his mother has the same hair colour and facial checks as the lady in Unbreakable.
3) In Unbreakable all bad people are colour coded, His mother wore RED so did the lady split personality of Kevin Crumb.
4) David Dunn sensed child abuse when he brushed up against the lady but ignoring them to follow up with the drug dealer.

Thanks!! Though it wouldn't stand up in a court of law... in 'movie land' that is enough evidence to be convincing :-)

M Night has said that one little event stayed in his head but wasn't intended to lead on to anything at the time. Then he thought about it some more and...

Exactly. That's how it usually happens. It's not like MNS already had the whole plot of Split in his head back in 1999.

Honestly, I think this is a real reach :) I don't see it.
