Interesting bit of trivia for a slow Monday here. Despite being a jokey reference to Captain America's iconic shield, when Tony Stark uses a plastic replica of it to shove underneath a loose fitting pipe in Iron Man 2 many fans thought that it was actually supposed to be the real shield itself. This, unsurprisingly, led to many pause buttons being hit on dvd/blu ray players across the world.
The shield scene clocks in at number 7 on the most paused list. Also unsurprising, the majority of moments on the list are of the nekkid lady variety, with Sharon Stone's infamous "beaver shot" getting the number 1 spot. There is also the Storm Trooper head bang in Star Wars, the Pacman scene in Tron as well as a couple of supposed sexual references in 2 animated films; The Lion King and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
