I was wondering if anyone could tell me about movie mysteries. Such as the “SEX” in the Lion King, or the munchkin hanging himself in the Wizard of OZ. I know those two but if you have anymore secrets and where to spot them in any such movie I would appreciate it if you e-mailed me.

There’s a repository of such stories at Snopes:

Of course, most of these stories turn out not to hold up under scrutiny.

the munchkin hanging himself in oz is really a bird flapping his wings. you can find oz trivia on the oz web site. it is really very good.
