Shitty Movie Details

Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.
To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.
For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.
Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.
For shitty videogame details, there's !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world
Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.

That’s a bass guitar, so while technically true, not what he was riffing on in the movie.
What's that whammy-bar looking thing at bottom?
I didn't know basses had those, and it doesn't look like it's in the right place for that, anyway.
It’s where his amp cord is plugged in. You typically loop it inside your strap like that so if you accidentally step on the cord you don’t immediately pull it out.
It’s a classic Fender Precision Bass, better known as the P-bass. I have the same model.
There are four thick strings, it is definitely a bass.
Yes, that was completely obvious. I was wondering about the extra bit.
It is a whammy bar, some basses have them. Whammy bars are near the end of the strings. The strings on the base are closer to the back edge of the body which is why the bar is so far back.
No, it’s his amp cord plugged in. See my comment above for more details.
Interesting.
I used to play my share of standup electric before my knuckles fell apart. At the time I wasn't in a band, but did jam with some buddies at times, cords all the hell over the place. Anyway, this seems like a cool idea.
One thing I did with my Danelectro is to replace the strap studs with some ends that could still function that way as needed, but also let you bolt-in the ends of your straps. It made the guitar less prone to accidentally falling off, and easier to get set up. Keanu kinda looks like he might have those installed here (they jut out a lot), but I'm not sure.
