Split Movie Trivia
There are 25 sets of credits running simultaneously.
M. Night Shyamalan's cameo in Split (2016) as a landlord is the same drug dealer from Unbreakable (2000). Shyamalan initially shot the scene with the same glasses from Unbreakable but then pick the one without it since it wouldn't make sense for someone to wear the same glasses for 16 years
Accuracy details in Split
A brief scene at the end of the movie shows that each different personality of Kevin (out of 23) has its own toothbrush.
Costume details in Split
Because of the abuse Casey flashbacked in Split (2016), she used to wear heavy clothing with many layers. She was quiet and scared to show her scars. In Glass (2019) she's now confident and strong.
Split movie hidden details
Dr. Fletcher gets 20 emails from 20 of Barry's personalities beckoning for help, leaving out Dennis, Patricia, and Hedwig who ultimately wanted to unleash the beast.
Kevin Crumb reveals that his last memory is from September 18th, 2014. This was a very significant day for Scotland. That day, Scotland voted to decide whether it would "split" from the United Kingdom. James McAvoy is Scottish.
There are 23 toothbrushes. One for each personality.
When the end credits are rolling, it shows 24 of the same end credits rolling at the same time in the background. These represent the 24 split-personalities that Kevin has in the film.
When the Beast is bending the metal bars his pupils are seen to be extremely dilated, a signature characteristic of many animal predators.
This scene shows 23 toothbrushes for each personality but one of them is upside down which is of Hedwig as he is a child and puts his toothbrush randomly.
. Among the child-like drawings littering Hedwig's room (portrayed as a very innocent child), there is a corner of the wall with a bunch of cleavage pictures! Interesting juxtaposition.
Casey's marks of "purity" are visible during the initial attack.
Hedwig makes a comment that Casey wears several layers of clothing. Obviously there could be many reasons for this, but I believe...(explanation in comments).
Just as there are 23 toothbrushes. Dr.Fletcher received 20 e-mails, e-mails that were sent by the 20 other personalities that wasn't along the horde.
Hedwig's room is filled with animal toys and drawings. It's later revealed that the girls are being held captive underneath the Philadelphia Zoo.
Last scene with Kevin (James McAvoy), the very first thing we see in the room is shattered glass on the floor, hinting at things to come.
All of the 23 identities have their own toothbrush.
Reuses the main theme from Unbreakable in the final scene as an audio cue to the connection
David dunn (unbreakable) makes an appearance. One of his abilities is that he can detect something bad someone has done by physical contact. It kind of looks like the girl nudges him slightly as she gets up to leave, and he glances back at her. Could he have seen something bad?
Dr. Fletcher says "To whom am I speaking with now." This may be an example of hypercorrection, demonstrating that Fletcher wants to appear professional and sophisticated, but is actually incorrect in her grammar and, possibly, her professional opinions of her patient(s).
James McAvoy was frustrated in filming a scene with the multiple personalities talking amongst each other, and he punched a door that broke his knuckle. McAvoy filmed for three days without telling anyone and his swollen hand can be seen in this scene.
When Kevin walks up to the car to kidnap the girls in the beginning you can see multiple sets of legs walking towards the dad in the bumper.
Dr. Fletcher can be heard watching 'Wheel of Fortune' with her neighbour in an early scene. This can be seen as a metaphor for James McAvoys' split personality character. It also alludes to the ultimate fate she meets upon landing on the wrong personality.
A brief cameo by Bruce Willis suggests that one or more M Night Shyamalan films share the same universe, and that Willis may return to his role as the elder Cole Sear (The Sixth Sense) in an upcoming production
