This is the one I have experience. We saw it in the theater in 1979. I distinctly remember her having braces because I either had them at the time or was about to get them. Also, that from what I remembered is why Jaws returned her smile. It is disappointing the filmmakers didn’t think of it. It would have made a so-so movie just a bit better.
Probably not but are you possibly thinking of the two different versions of the Beastie Boys music video for Sabotage? In the uncensored one they throw a body off a bridge (or an overpass or similar structure) but in the censored video all the violence is replaced with other random images.
My Star Trek Mandala effect is from Enterprise. In “In a Mirror, Darkly Part II” Mirror Archer gives a speech to the crew and after he finishes, orders a guard to shoot the first person who stops clapping. Memory Alpha tells me it was a deleted scene that was only on the Season 4 DVD set. But I never had the DVD set. I am certain I saw this scene when it aired.
I love these because there is just a reasonable explanation–it’s like when people “remember” scenes from movies that were only in the novelization or a comic adaptation. You read a scene or someone tells you about a scene…you KNOW exactly what it would look like. You know exactly what it would look like when Archer tells a guard to shoot the first person who stops clapping. So in your head, that scene exits for you.
Another example is in The Leftovers final episode, when Nora Durst tells Kevin her experience “going to the other side.” She describes the scene in great detail, but there are no camera flashbacks as there are for other past scenes. People swear to god they remember seeing her memories even though they are never actually shown. Excellent series, btw.
In some of the YouTube comments about the Moonraker Jaws-girlfriend-has-braces scene, a few people claimed that there was a TV commercial that ran around that time, featuring Richard Kiel in character as Jaws, in which he encounters a cashier who smiles at him, revealing that she is wearing braces. It may be that people are conflating that with the actual movie.
Assuming, of course, that said TV commercial actually existed, and is not ANOTHER false memory.
There is this one. But it’s a Finnish commercial and not until 2006. And while the cashier ha braces, there is no metal on Kiel.
Funny, I remember Kiel having metal teeth in that commercial.
I’m so Mandela Effected I cant even remember if I’ve mentioned this in this very thread:
A few months ago it was said that the first X-Men movie is the first appearance of “Magnetos helmet is what keeps Xavier from locating him and from psionic attacks”
I lost my shit. I was SURE I’d seen it mentioned in X-Men 150 at least, or in other comics. Such as Beast prying the helmet off, getting blasted and then Xavier striking.
NOPE. I looked and looked and looked. All wiped clean from the timeline.
So many Marvel spin-offs and what-ifs and such, it certainly could have been there somewhere.
The Wikipedia article about Magneto credits the idea of his helmet containing technology to block telepathy to Ultimate X-Men #6 (2001).
Magneto (Marvel Comics) - Wikipedia (Note 152)
The first X-Men movie was released in 2000, so it pre-dated that comic issue.
@Pavelb1 may be confusing Magneto with Juggernaut. Juggernaut’s helmet protecting him from mental attacks, and the need to pry it off to make him vulnerable to Professor X, goes back to the Lee and Kirby days.
I guessed as much. I wound up concluding that the comic in question was a retcon to match the movie.
That sounds plausible. I remember Spidey fighting him and Juggernaut saying he had it bolted since his last encounter with the Xmen.
Bumping this one because I have proof this is a different universe!
I am currently en route from Arizona to Wi, via Iowa. I am taking I 35 north from OKC through KC to Des Moines. I would swear I have taken this route at least twice before.
But this time, I35 is a toll road! Wikipedia says it has always been such. I would have remembered paying tolls, I hate toll roads. According to Wikipedia, it has only been fully automated since last year, after my most recent trip. But I never got a bill, if it were automated then.
I’m stumped! There’s no other freeway-way to get there.
In your defense only part of I-35 is a toll road. But in defense of the Mandela Effect, I-35 between the Oklahoma State Line and Emporia has always been a toll road. Maybe you just remember I-35 around Kansas City, where it’s free (and the southern part is pretty forgettable anyway, except for Wichita.)
I’d remembered it as Marc Gomes (who I was familiar with from Crow: Stairway to Heaven - didn’t watch The Cube until a few years later), but hey, we all misremember stuff.
Mandela Effect discussion always bugs me because no logic need apply - that one misrembered something or something is a logical mix-up is a forbidden response in some discussion spaces.
For other major events - I have seen others bring up they recalled the Challenger explosion being in warmer weather (having been playing outside right before), but none could ever recall what caused the explosion in “their timeline.”
Who was the first man to land on the moon in your universe?
Wait… what?!?
Oh, man, I think I’m a couple of timelines away from home…
