As soon as the movie begins, start timing. At exactly 42 minutes into the movie, Deep Thought tells the crowd that The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42.

Look at the part where Aurthur and Ford are being tortured by (the strangely beautiful) poetry. In the backround you can see the council of the elders and behind them there is the orignal Marvin without a left arm

3.0/10 with 1 votes
When Arthur and the planet-making guy are riding across the factory floor, if you pause the movie at 1 hour and about 22 seconds, the camera pans out, and you can see a planet in the shape of a face. I haven't read the book, but my guess is it is Douglas...
