Strange image pops up a few times...


If you watch carefully I noticed twice this weird voodoo looking kinda image popped up in background... the first time I saw it was in the "Rock the Vote" event, Mike is about to walk into the Rasta bands room and the picture is on the door... then later at Sgt. Sabitch's bus you see the picture again in the background... I will have to watch again to see if I see it anywhere else... I wonder if anyone else saw it...

I too have recognized this. Black Sheep is a monumental film in my childhood, I have seen it far to many times to count. Yet only today, in my current state of consciousness, did I see the strange "Voodoo" image. I also would use the word "Voodoo" as well as perhaps the word "Tribal." I will also go as far as saying that I paused this film upon the image's second appearance, and it appeared that the "Voodoo" or "Tribal" man appeared to be bound and stretched... Possibly even currently in the act of being tortured. I mention the torture because it appeared that not only was the man bound but also appeared to have several foreign objects jutting from his stomach region as if he had been stabbed (I believe 6 times). Possibly knives, horns, bones, or maybe they were simply decoration on his clothing. I can also say that I did not get the best vibe from the image. I felt very much that I was supposed to see it but I could not feel a purpose... and the way that only black and white are used in the image... Very dualistic... very eye grabbing

I can say for sure that it is definitely there and for some reason meant to be seen.

I will also say I am hoping to learn more about this specific image and other "hidden" or subliminal images hidden in my old favorite films.

Interesting.

I've seen this many times and have never noticed it. Can you be more specific on where to look for it? Is it an actual picture in the movie or a subliminal image?
