In Gremlins 2: a new batch (1990) there is a blink and you'll miss it moment where the character Lenny hugs a gremlin plush. That plush isn't a movie prop, but rather an actual piece of merchandise that released among the first Gremlins movie in 1984.

During the solar flare scene in Knowing (2009), The Lake at Central Park gets evaporated in less than a second. It's an easily overlooked detail in an extremely intense scene of destruction.

I have seen this movie several times over the years but didn't catch this detail until rewatching the final scene several times in a row.

This article in Ratatouille (2007) is about Linguini's new role as owner and executive chef of Gusteau's, and includes quotes from other Ratatouille characters. About Linguini's cooking style, Poissonier Lalo is quoted in the article as saying "It's like watching a giant, wild noodle make soup."

Oppenheimer (2023) : "In exactly one hour, fifty-eight minutes, we'll know", says Robert Oppenheimer to a concerned Leslie Groves, about potential atmosphere ignition. And at 1:58:00 EXACTLY in the movie : "It worked" says Frank Oppenheimer to his older brother. Explanation in comments.

Can't be a coincidence. It's the first time I catch such a detail !

Hudson's helmet from Aliens (1986) has a calendar that reveals some details about his character and the Alien timeline

Hudson's helmet from Aliens (1986) reveals the following things:

He has been in the service for at least a year (12 months, with the last month being still "active").
July is the current active month. This further confirms the information from other Alien timelines that Aliens take place in July 2179. James Cameron is great at small details like this.
He was already obsessed with "Game Over" even before the dropship crashed. It originally meant the end of his military service.

In "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003), at the beginning of the opening race, the order of the shots showing the cars burning out before they set off foreshadow their final standings - the earlier the shot, the further back in the race

Just after Tej shouts "Go!" each individual car is shown burning out before setting off, the order of the shots is as follows: Orange Julius' Mazda RX-7, Slap Jack's Toyota Supra, Suki's Honda S2000 and finally Brian's Nissan Skyline GT-R. At the end of the race, Orange Julius comes last, abandoning the race before the bridge jump, Slap Jack loses control and crashes just after, Suki comes 2nd and Brian wins - the opposite of their burnouts.

In "Camp" (2003), Stephen Sondheim's limousine has a license plate that says "4UM." This is a punny reference to the title of his musical "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum."
