The 90s brought us some unforgettable moments in cinema, and one scene that stands out above all is the iconic p0ttery scene from Gh0st. It\u2019s a moment so romantic, so passionate, it has become a symbol of true love for a generation.\n

The music, the chemistry, the emotions \u2014 it was all perfect. But what really happened behind the scenes of this unforgettable moment? You might be surprised at what many missed when it comes to this legendary film moment.\n

Looking back at all the films Patrick Swayze starred in, it\u2019s like flipping through a collection of cinematic gems. The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Point Break \u2013 and of course, Gh0st from 1990.\n

The film centers on Sam (Patrick Swayze), a murdered banker whose gh0st sets out to save his girlfriend, Molly (Demi Moore), from the person who killed him, with the help of the psychic Oda (Whoopi Goldberg).\n

Personally, I think it\u2019s a truly fantastic movie: the romance is incredibly touching, the comedy is downright hilarious, the supernatural element is captivating, and the corporate crime angle is surprisingly well-done. And for those of you who saw it in theaters, you\u2019ll definitely remember all the sniffles \u2014 yes, from both the guys and the girls! True emotions from the heart.\n

Even though this film is nearly perfect, there are still a few goofs and small mistakes that only the most eagle-eyed viewers will catch.
\n $\"\"$
\nSwayze cried six times\n
Before Ghost hit theaters, the cast gathered at a Beverly Hills h0tel for a press event. Patrick Swayze made an entrance in blue jeans and a simple shirt, True cigarette in hand.\n
The hair was bleached blond \u2014 a change he explained was for his role in the upcoming film Riders on the Storm. With a dancer\u2019s physique and a cowboy\u2019s voice, Swayze was unmistakably the star of the room. He shared plenty of entertaining insights about making the film.\n
One standout moment was when the Texas-born actor revealed just how deeply the story resonated with him.\n
\u201cI cried six times when I read the script for Gh0st,\u201d he admitted.
\n $\"\"$
\nHe also talked about his determination to land the role. \u201cI felt I had to do this role, and I wanted to get an appointment, but I couldn\u2019t get one. They were going in a different direction with casting. They were going with Kevin Kline,\u201d Swayze said.\n
\u201cI was going, \u2018No!\u2019 Wrong! He can\u2019t do it. He\u2019s going to be funny, and it\u2019s got to be real!\u201d\n
Swayze quickly added, \u201cNot that he couldn\u2019t make it real. I just felt it needed romance.\u201d\n
\u201dOver my de:ad b0dy\u201d
\nDirector Jerry Zucker was far from charmed by the idea of Patrick Swayze taking on the role.\n
\u201cOver my de’ad b0dy will Patrick Swayze play this role,\u201d he reportedly said when Swayze\u2019s agent called to express the Dirty Dancing star\u2019s interest in the lead role.\n
When asked later if this was true, Zucker responded, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t think they were my exact words,\u201d but then paused and reconsidered.\n
\u201cWell, now that I think about it, maybe he\u2019s correct.\u201d\n
Patrick Swayze\u2019s personal connection\n
Patrick Swayze had a deeply personal reason for being drawn to the role in Ghost: the memory of his late father, Don, who everyone knew as Big Buddy.\n
Don was a rodeo rider and amateur boxer, and Patrick described him as a \u201cgentle cowboy\u201d in his autobiography. Losing his father in 1982 hit Patrick hard, so the story of love and loss in Gh0st really struck a chord with him.\n
\u201dI thought of my father being de:ad and I loved the idea of maybe him being right there with me,\u201d he said.\n
Later, Swayze admitted that playing Sam Wheat was the hardest role of his career. The challenge lay in having to be an observer of the action rather than an active participant, a unique aspect that tested his emotional range and acting skills.\n
How Swayze helped cast Whoopi Goldberg\n
Patrick Swayze definitely stole the show in Gh0st, and after landing the lead role, he even got involved in some behind-the-scenes moments.\n
The role of Oda Mae Brown wasn\u2019t originally written for Whoopi Goldberg, but after seeing her one-woman Broadway shows, Patrick Swayze was so convinced she was perfect for the part, he made sure she got the role.\n
Swayze even went as far as to give producer Jerry Zucker an ultimatum.\n
\u201cI get a phone call from my agent, Ron Meyer, who says, \u2018Patrick Swayze has been hired for this movie. Patrick is not going to do this if you don\u2019t do it. Can you make some time for him and the director to come up?\u2019\u201d Goldberg told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024.\n
Zucker and Swayze flew to Goldberg, and when they met, it felt like they were old friends. About 40 minutes into their conversation, Swayze asked her to do the movie with him, and she agreed. That\u2019s how it all came together.\n
By the way, Gh0st writer Bruce Joel Rubin originally pitched Oda Mae as an actual psychic. But the producers thought it would be way funnier if she were a total charlatan who suddenly starts hearing Sam.\n
Truth behind the \u201ddark shadows\u201d\n
Remember that creepy scene when the demons take Willie and Carl? As a kid, it totally freaked me out, and even now, it still gives me chills. Here\u2019s a fun fact: the sound editors really nailed it with the specters \u2014 they sound straight out of a horror movie.\n
But did you know that the terrifying noises made by the \u201ddark shadows\u201d\u201d are actually baby cries played in reverse at an incredibly slow speed.\n
Definitely one of the creepiest moments in movie history!\n
Demi Moore \u2013 cost of success\n
The film Gh0st not only solidified its place in cinematic history but also transformed Demi Moore\u2019s career, making her the highest-paid actress in Hollywood at the time.\n
While she was already a recognized name, Moore wasn\u2019t considered a bankable star until this role catapulted her to new heights. However, the milestone came with its own set of challenges. The focus on her record-breaking pay led to criticism, with detractors labeling her as greedy and coining the nickname \u201cGim.me Moore.\u201d
\n $\"\"$
\n\u201cIt was as if I had be:trayed men,\u201d Moore reflected, speaking with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.\n
Even years later, she struggled to understand the backlash that followed her success. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting that the choice to take me down came when I became the highest-paid. Why did that happen at that exact moment?\u201d\n
Swayze chewed ice\n
Filming the intense chase scene in Gh0st came with unique challenges, especially during the cold New York City nights. While the crew and other actors were bundled up against the chill, Patrick Swayze, playing Sam Wheat, faced a different problem.\n
Because Sam was a gh0st, the filmmakers wanted to ensure his breath wouldn\u2019t be visible in the cold air \u2014 something that could ruin the illusion. To solve this, they had Swayze chew ice before filming, which kept his breath from showing.\n
The pottery scene\n
The pottery scene in Gh0st is undeniably one of the most iconic and romantic moments in movie history. With their hands intertwined, Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore) created a tender moment that has become synonymous with passion and connection. The beautiful soundtrack Unchained Melody only adds to the magic, making it feel like the most romantic scene ever captured on film.\n
Interestingly, what many don\u2019t know is that the scene was originally supposed to be followed by a s*x scene on the floor.\n
But after some reflection, the filmmakers realized that the pottery moment was all they truly needed. Sometimes less is more!\n
As director Jerry Zucker recalls, \u201cWe decided to cut it after I interviewed about twelve body doubles for Demi.\u201d\n
The pot actually broke\n
Here\u2019s some more fun, little-known facts about the pottery scene in Gh0st!\n
First off, Patrick Swayze once said it was the seest thing he\u2019d ever done on film.\n
And here\u2019s something I had no idea about \u2014 originally, the scene wasn\u2019t meant to end with the pot falling apart, but as Swayze and Demi Moore were filming, the pot actually broke! Instead of stopping, they just kept going, and it turned into one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history. Pretty cool, right?
\n $\"\"$
\nPottery scene goof you probably missed\n
When Sam and Molly are playing around with the pottery wheel, they\u2019re totally covered in clay \u2014 like, up to their elbows! But then, in the next love scene, their hands and arms are squeaky clean.\n
Guess the magic of love includes a quick cleanup, huh? A little goof that most people probably didn\u2019t catch.\n
Unchained Melody exploded\n
Ghost is now officially older than Unchained Melody was when it was featured in the film\u2026 Feel old yet?\n
The song, recorded by The Righteous Brothers in 1965, got a huge boost in popularity after the film\u2019s release in 1990. Radio stations were flooded with requests to play the classic tune, and fans were going crazy trying to buy the single.\n
The only problem? Many record stores were completely unprepared for the demand! When the movie soundtrack sold out, people ended up grabbing Righteous Brothers\u2019 Greatest Hits just to get their hands on Unchained Melody. Bonus: they also got to enjoy You\u2019ve Lost That Lovin\u2019 Feelin\u2019, which was featured in Top Gun, another blockbuster.\n
The closing credits\n
Here\u2019s a little mistake that probably flew under the radar for most people \u2013 and hey, who am I to judge? But if you watch the movie again and stick around during the closing credits, keep an eye out for a funny slip-up.\n
The spelling of \u201cCemetery Gh0st\u201d is wrong. The credits list it as Cemetary Gh0st, but the correct spelling should be CEMETERY. Oops!\n
When Sam gets shot\n
When Sam and Molly are attacked by the thug Willie Lopez, Sam is tragically killed by a gunsh0t.\n
Many viewers probably remember the intense scene where Molly holds Sam in her arms, his blood soaking her sleeves. But when we see her later at the police station, her sleeves are mysteriously clean.
\n $\"\"$
\nThis might not have been intentional, but there\u2019s a likely explanation: the police probably asked her to clean up before her interview, which makes sense given the circumstances.\n
It\u2019s one of those little details that likely flew under the radar for most viewers.\n
From the pottery wheel scene\u2019s accidental pot breakage to the clean-up miracle at the police station, these quirky goofs are part of the charm that keeps Gh0st so unforgettable.\n**
So, the next time you\u2019re watching this iconic romance, keep an eye out for those moments most people miss \u2014 you\u2019ll get a good laugh and maybe even a few chills. If you\u2019re a fan of Gh0st or just love a good behind-the-scenes, don\u2019t forget to share this with friends on social media.
