Little moments in the background that are easy to miss?

i think most of u guys would have noticed it... but i noticed it after a couple of viewings.. it happens really fast..

When Yusuf is about to crash into the bridge horizontally he shows middle finger to the security guy and that guy shows a puzzled look !!
snapshot attached

LOL, I noticed that on my FIRST viewing.

Also in the flashback scene when Cobb is explaining to Ariadne his limbo experiences with Mal in the first dream level, there is a small scene when Cobb and Mal are building sand castles on the beach. They push one so it collapses and behind them you see a cliff or some sort of structure which collapses in sync with the sand structure. I didn't notice this the first couple of times I watched this.

Hehe, whoa. I didn't catch that before.

If you notice near the end, the Immigration Officer who "welcomes" Cobb is played by Michael Gaston. This is the same guy who plays a senior intelligence guy in BODY OF LIES which Leo also stars. In that movie Gaston character was unceremoniously fired & dismissed by Leo's arrogant punk-ass agent. I chuckled a bit when I saw INCEPTION ending now that the table is turned. Now Leo squirms with shit-eating little smiles as Gaston deliberately takes his time looking at his papers. In BODY OF LIES, Leo is abandoned in Middle East by his CIA "buddies". Now in INCEPTION, Leo is trying to get back into US. When he finally does, it is through the good graces of a guy whom he fires in another movie.

"Welcome home, Mr Cobb"


"Sorry I fired your ass in BODY OF LIES"

This is a tiny moment at the Immigration where Juno gives Leo a smile which looks somewhere between creepy and cheeky, just plain ambiguous. Is she happy for Cobb? Is she like: "Poor bastard doesn't know he is still in a dream?" Or is she like: "You know, I am staying at the Hilton"


Fantastic looking actress credited as Miranda Nolan / Flight Attendant (With his children in the cast, a Nolan family affair?). Kinda creepy when your trusted stewardess slip you a mickey & pull you into a bizarre dreamworld.


Just discovered this when I was scanning for screencaps. When a furious Saito finds out Leo has tricked with him blank pieces of paper, Mal seems to be delighted at the whole chaotic affair (see far right). Kinda interesting since Mal seems to be working with Saito and against Cobb. Or a miscue?

Actually Mal's smile was in the script, when she found out Cobb switched the envelopes she smiled because Cobb was very cunning. And LOL at the Hilton hotel smile.

Yea, from the cap there, it seems like Marion is laughing her ass off at Ken Watanabe: "Jesus, relax, dude. You already got a nomination for THE LAST SAMURAI..."

Was her Aussie accent fake? I was pretty convinced she was an Australian actress!
