Faces of Jareth

[AbsorbedByPsych]

Okay I am guessing that since these forums have been created this topic has been over dicussed, but I am new so please bear with me.

I have heard that there are 7 hidden Jareth faces in the movie The Labyrinth.

I can find the one that is on the rigth bottom portion of the screen when the step fals off of the ladder in the obliette and another (obvious one) when Hoggle is getting the peach (big hunks of stone makes jareth's face)

Anyone know where the others are?
I don't rmember where I heard that there were 7, but it must have been a reppriable source, or it wouldn't bug me so much tat i cant find them

I found this in a dvd eeggs site:

You've probably seen the huge rock shaped like Bowie's face that Jareth appears from to give Hoggle the peach, but did you see the other Bowie shots? In Sarah's bedroom there are photo's of him, (this gets explained in the novel), in the tunnel, when the rung breaks off the ladder, there's a carving of his face in the lower right hand corner of the screen. There are two more, one in the hedge maze and one in the bog, but you can only see these with widescreen.
Also in Sarah's room, there's a statue of Jareth on her dresser to the right of the mirror, again this is easier to see with widescreen, but it's possible to glimpse it on the regular version and the latest release.

Hidden faces of Jareth

Just after the worm says, "If she had kept on going down that way, she'd gone straight to that castle.", there is a wide shot of Sarah in the stone wall maze and Jareth's hidden face is visible on one of the straight stone walls of the maze at the upper right of the screen.

More shots that Jareth's "hidden" face is visible are at the Bog of Eternal Stench. When Hoggle hangs on as Sarah tries to pull him up, he says, "Oh it doesn't matter what it's like. It's a bog of Eternal Stench." In the next wide shot when he yells, "Help." and then after the stone ground gives way under their feet, in the two wide shots, Jareth's face is seen on the jagged stone wall on the right of the screen.

This is only on the DVD. As Hoggle walks off saying "There's one thing for sure, she'll never get through the labyrinth" look at the top left hand corner of the screen and you'll see the face of Jareth (David Bowie.) You see his face again, when they Sarah and friends are walking through the forest, and Sir Didymus says "We should reach the castle well before day." Look at a tree to the right of the screen and you'll see the face.

Another "Hidden" face. After talking to the wiseman, there is a wide shot of Hoggle and Sarah walking through a hedge maze, and Hoggle talks to Sarah about being her friend. On the left side of the screen, on the stone floor, a face can made out.

At the very start of the scene where Jareth gives Hoggle the 'poison' peach, there are four rocks which Hoggle walks past. They each make a part of Jareth's face- chin, nose/mouth, eyes/forehead and hair. When Jareth appears, he is leaning on one of the rocks, but from that angle, his face is no longer apparent.

After the cleaners come after Hoggle and Sarah, they start up a ladder. Hoggle steps on a rung and it comes lose and Hoggle almost falls. Then they show the rung falling. At this point look to the right in the rocks you can see Jareth's face.

huh, I've nevcer noticed any face except the stone one, maybe that's because I have it on VHS, so not everything is as clear as on dvd

*gasp of shock*
I've watched the movie a gazillion times
and have only seen the face in the rock.
Wow, looks like I'll have to be watching it more
and have something to look out for now.
Woo Hoo!!

I have the DVD now, so maybe it will be easier to spot. ahhh...
