6. “Show Me The Monkey” (King Kong)
In 2005’s Peter Jackson-directed King Kong movie, Thomas Kretschmann’s Captain Englehorn intercepted a coded message just prior to his ship’s arrival on Skull Island. In the movie, the message was said to be calling for the arrest of Carl Denham (Jack Black), but that wasn’t actually what the message said at all.
Dedicated viewers actually decoded the message for real and it turned out to be a fun inclusion by Peter Jackson himself. The message actually said “show me the monkey” – something which, of course, did actually happen in the movie just a few minutes later when the titular giant monkey made his eagerly-anticipated appearance.
