Movies—especially commercial ones—are expensive to make. This is why any error, whether due to historical inaccuracy or editorial oversight, can be surprising. It usually becomes a game, and devoted fans look for such mistakes. Let’s be honest—we missed it too. Favorite movie? Mistakes can be big or small. Some difficult shots in mirrors and windows show the cameraman. The reflection in a drinking glass or steel door knob can also reveal the camera. Cameras and microphones often sneak into shots. In some hilarious cases, other crew members have entered the set barely dressed! We also see movie inconsistencies. Rolex watches in Zulu war? Unlikely. Jeans for high sea pirates? Unlikely. Can we blame filmmakers for overlooking these mistakes? Yes! They’re hilarious—don’t miss them!
Legends of the Fall: Brad Pitt’s Blonde Hair Was Too Perfect
Brad Pitt made for a gorgeous cowboy in this Western coming-of-age movie. He played the role of Tristan Ludlow, the wild but sensitive middle son in a farm family in Montana. Set in the early 20th century, a lot of people criticized styling.
The gorgeous blonde locks that Pitt is known for have been styled in a way that is reminiscent of the 1960s and left to flow freely. There were also comments made about how the lack of a beard during that time period would not have been appropriate.
Troy: Umbrellas Didn’t Exist Then
The pink umbrella may have protected Orlando Bloom adequately while filming Troy, but it is historically inaccurate for his character Paris to be enjoying the shade. Assuming that the Trojan War actually happened, it was several years too early for the umbrella.
Since the sunshade would not be invented until the 5th century BCE, all of the warriors from both the Trojans and the Greeks were forced to endure the intense heat without any form of protection from the sun.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: An Extra Is Actually Wearing Jeans
There is a possibility that you will not see it if you do not look very carefully. In the background, there is an extra who appears to be wearing jeans and a T-shirt. You can just make out what he is wearing.
Due to the fact that the narrative takes place in Egypt in the 1930s, the clothing, which would be socially acceptable in today’s society, is, at best, inappropriate for the setting of the film.
Pride and Prejudice: Rubber Boots Didn’t Exist Then
The movie has received a lot of acclaim for its beautiful imagery and the unrivaled love story of Lizzy Bennett and Mr. Darcy. However, Austen’s novel of the same name was set in the Regency period and Keira Knightley should not have been wearing rubber boots. Why, you ask? Wellington boots would only come into existence about 40 years after.
A seemingly insignificant aspect of the film, such as this one, has the potential to completely alter one’s impression of it; however, we are relieved that this did not become an issue.
Captain America (The First Avenger): Hair Needs To Be Up Here
Hayley Atwell was undeniably beautiful in the first Captain America installment, but Peggy Carter’s pin curls simply had no place in the army. While it is actually accurate for the period, service in the military still required longer-haired women to wear it up.
People who enjoy watching movies that involve the military would be aware that hairstyles like that are not permitted on duty during those times, despite the fact that this was such a minor point brought up in the film.
Gladiator: Crowe’s Lycra Shorts Don’t Make Sense
The leather outfit that Russell Crowe wore was legendary in and of itself, but what about the spandex shorts that he wore underneath? The answer is no. Throughout the course of the movie, the figure-hugging garment could be seen on multiple occasions.
Aside from that, it is abundantly clear that this was not the standard mode of dress in ancient Rome. The fall of the empire occurred more than 1,500 years ago. Spandex, on the other hand, did not become widely available until the year 1962.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Nazi’s Shouldn’t Be Wearing Medals
Here’s another Indiana Jones entry once again, this time for the The Last Crusade. The film has become a source for a lot of laughs was set in the late 1930s, just before World War 2 erupted. It is for this reason that its depiction of Nazis was questionable.
While we know that Nazis love their war medals, it is a prerequisite to have first fought in one. The practice of adorning oneself with pins and medals would only become the norm towards the end of the war.
The King’s Speech: Wrong Kilt
There’s a good reason why “The King’s Speech” was awarded the Oscar for “Best Picture” in 2011. Who wasn’t enthralled by the events that transpired during the reign of King George VI? However, those who make their living selling kilts are unlikely to have the same opinion.
The experts were able to determine that the kilt design is not only appropriate for the year 1997, but that it is also Irish, as opposed to being a Balmoral design from Scotland.
Glory: A Digital Watch During the Civil War, Really?
It does not take an expert to recognize the error in this individual’s choice of clothing. In light of this, a digital watch should never be seen in any film that takes place during the American Civil War.
The first wristwatches appeared in the late 19th century, which was several decades after the time period in which they were first used, and the digital versions of these watches did not become popular until the 1970s.
Captain America (The First Avenger): The Headset Din’t Exist Yet
This illustrious list features Captain America once more after its most recent update. To be perfectly clear, we thought the movie was amazing, and we want to convey that sentiment. Nevertheless, Jim Morita’s use of an earpiece during the time period depicted in the movie, which takes place during World War II, seemed out of place and inappropriate.
To get right to the point, the earpiece wasn’t created until the turn of the millennium. So it is indeed a little problem if many people have noticed it and realized it. We hope not!
Dirty Dancing: Baby’s Shorts Needed To Be A Skirt
This classic movie may have been released in 1987, but it was set in the year 1963. It might have been convincing for most, but observant viewers will be able to notice that Baby’s jean shorts aren’t from that era! Historically speaking, the garment would only come into style during the ‘80s.
This minor faux pas did not deter it from making a lasting impact on the audience, however. Who hasn’t at least tried to copy the dance moves and felt a little in love with the main couple?
Public Enemies: A Robe That’s Too Advanced
Johnny Depp’s performance as Prohibition-era gangster John Dillinger was well-received. Despite this, it couldn’t cover up for a certain historical inaccuracy. The robes that judges wore at the time were a lot heavier and stiffer than the jackets we wear these days.
This one requires a closer look, but the fibres on the jacket that Johnny Depp wears after stealing it away from Judge Murray were significantly lighter than what was typical during that time period.
Almost Famous: The Black Sabbath T-shirt
This moving coming-of-age story that was told in the film epitomizes all other movies about teenagers. Who could ever forget it? The movie has a lot of charisma and humor, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that someone wore a T-shirt with a Black Sabbath print in the wrong scene.
The year 1973 was chosen to serve as the backdrop for the movie, but the shirts themselves were produced in the year 1997. Oops! It’s a little detail that staff should have never missed!
Pearl Harbor: Bare Legs Weren’t Appropriate
The events of World War II served as the backdrop for a sizeable number of the entries on this list. The attack on Pearl Harbor did not serve as an exception to the standard operating procedure. Whatever the intentions of the crew may have been, the 1940s were simply too early for bare legs to be considered appropriate.
During that time period, it was considered far too scandalous for a woman to wear a skirt without stockings underneath it. This was because women were expected to cover their legs.
Braveheart: Gibson’s Scottish Skirt Was Totally Premature
Oh, here we have another timeless gem. Who hasn’t heard of the movie that received a lot of positive reviews? The events of the story take place in medieval Scotland; however, the practice of wearing kilts didn’t become widespread until the late 17th century, despite the garment’s iconic appearance.
Those of you who are interested in tales and facts that centre on what occurred in the past, as in a very long time ago, are probably the type of people who have picked up on this kind of inaccurate detail in movies.
Django Unchained: Sunglasses Didn’t Exist Yet
This drama about vengeance that takes place during the Civil War was directed by Tarantino, and it exceeded expectations. The western film, despite its widespread appeal, continues to have a number of problematic aspects. One of them would be the fact that the main character always wears sunglasses.
1929 would mark the beginning of production of the round specs on a large scale. Fans, on the other hand, don’t appear to mind, as evidenced by the fact that the recognisable glasses have made a comeback in the audience.
The Untouchables: Lapels Didn’t Exist Yet
A gangster movie from the 1980s called “The Untouchables” is undeniably a masterpiece, and it will continue to be so for a long time to come. It is unparalleled among works of its kind. However, viewers with keen eyesight were able to spot a flaw in the suit that Costner wears in the role of Agent Ness.
The flaw was in the shoulder of the suit. The item in question had a lapel, in spite of the fact that they wouldn’t become fashionable until a little bit later on.
The Other Boleyn Girl: Portman’s Hair Needs To Be Pulled Back
During the time of the Tudor era, it was common for women to wear a style of hood known as the French hood. This hood’s primary function was to conceal the wearer’s head. It is advised that the hair be drawn back and tucked away underneath in a discrete manner.
The fact that Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman’s hair was visible in certain scenes of the film, however, reduced the significance of the garment to that of a simple headband in most instances.
Saving Private Ryan: The Case Of The Black Boots
This is the movie that would become the template for all subsequent modern war films. Nobody with a beating heart could possibly deny that it had an effect on them. Having said that, the movie is not flawless.
The fact that Matt Damon spends the majority of the movie wearing black boots is indicative of one of the film’s many shortcomings. In the real world, such boots would not be worn by airborne troops until a decade after their introduction.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Telescope Didn’t Exist Yet
There is a specific scene in the movie where the characters that were portrayed by Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner make use of a telescope. Given that the device in question did not come into existence until the 1600s, it is highly improbable that this could have occurred.
Given that it is commonly believed that the exploits of Robin Hood took place in the 12th century, this suggests that the character first appeared two centuries too early.
Catch Me If You Can: Braces Didn’t Exist Yet
This film is directed by Steven Spielberg and features a cast full of well-known actors. It also has an intriguing storyline. In spite of all of these things, the story of Frank Abagnale Jr. was not told without making any mistakes.
Consider the fact that the character played by Amy Adams wore braces despite the fact that the storyline of the film took place in 1963. Not until the 1970s would orthodontic appliances be available to the public.
The Tudors: Wearing Ruffs Is Scandalous
Many people are able to overlook the majority of the mistakes that are made in period films that are set in the past. On the other hand, there were some astute observers who were able to spot a particular historical inaccuracy.
During the Tudor era, it was considered extremely improper for a woman to wear ruffs without also donning an undershirt underneath them. Although it may have been pleasing to the eye, the judge never would have allowed it into evidence in the case.
Good Night and Good Luck: Name Tags Equal Nope
In today’s military, officers are easily identifiable thanks to the name tags that are attached to their uniforms. Having said that, this was not always the situation. The movie seems to have glossed over the fact that the procedure wasn’t put into use until the late sixties when it was first implemented.
The fact that the events of the story take place in the early 1950s means that the military officers portrayed in the movie should not have been wearing name tags.
American Hustle: No Rolex Watches In The 70’s
Those of us who paid closer attention was able to spot a minor inconsistency in the film, despite the fact that the movie moves at such a breakneck pace, which may make it more difficult to spot errors.
In a movie that is set in the 1970s, the character that is played by Louis C.K. should not have been seen wearing that ostentatious Rolex watch at any point in the film.
Amadeus: Mozart’s Sippers Didn’t Exist Yet
The movie gave us a glimpse into what Mozart’s life was like during the 18th century in Austria by allowing us to see it through his eyes. Regardless of how stunning the film was, it was not enough to make up for the fact that the intricate costumes should not have had any zippers that were visible.
It is more accurate to say that zippers should not exist at all because they wouldn’t be invented for another century or so at the earliest.
The Color Purple: Clip-on Ties Didn’t Exist Yet
The novel by the same name that won Alice Walker the Pulitzer Prize was adapted into the film by the same name. The movie has received its fair share of critical acclaim, but the costumes do not match up with the tone of the rest of the film.
It was implausible for Danny Glover to wear a clip-on tie because the era in which the events of the story took place did not have access to such a fashion accessory.
Gangs of New York: Firefighters’ Modern Uniforms Don’t Make Sense
A large cast is featured in the movie, which assists in hiding some of the film’s flaws. On the other hand, a particular error was not overlooked at any point. The fact that firefighters in the movie wore uniforms that were a little bit too contemporary for the time period depicted in the film.
People who are interested in old movies are likely to notice this detail, despite the fact that it might not appear to be particularly noticeable due to the fact that there are two other people talking in front of them.
Back to the Future: This Guitar Didn’t Exist Yet
A universally-acclaimed film, who didn’t enjoy watching Marty McFly go back in time and fall in love with his own mother? Despite the poorly-done CGI, it has attained the status of a modern classic. However, it seems that even the crew got confused with all the time-traveling.
The year 1955 was chosen for the setting of the scene in which Marty plays a solo on a Gibson, but the actual model wouldn’t be available until 1958.
Schindler’s List: Women Didn’t Shave Then
You’ll find this movie at the very top of the best movies ever made. The movie won multiple awards at the Academy Awards, but costume design was not one of them. Perhaps this could be attributed to a certain wardrobe error.
Questions were raised about how the female characters were able to shave their armpits and legs. While it has become the norm in modern times, it is doubtful that women in concentration camps had the luxury for it.
Julius Caesar: Bullet Bras Didn’t Exist Yet
The bullet bra is an unforgettable fashion phenomenon best left in the 1950s. At the time, it was nothing out of the ordinary for ladies. However, fashion norms were certainly different during ancient Rome.
It was inappropriate for any of the female characters in Julius Caesar to be wearing those clothes. It would be approximately two thousand years before they would be put into use.
My Girl: Mood rings Didn’t Exist Yet
When the first version of My Girl was released, Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky broke the hearts of a lot of pre-teens. The mood ring that Vada wore was certainly one of the most memorable accessories that appeared in the movie.
Despite this, the events that are showcased in the movie took place in 1972, whereas the concept itself wasn’t developed until 1975.
Sense and Sensibility: The Baby’s Diaper
Another Austen adaptation made it to the list. While there is generally no problem with a diaper existing in Sense and Sensibility, the material is a little too modern. Diapers in the Regency period should have been made of cloth, after all.
During that time period, the cloth was used in place of disposable diapers. The fact that it is shown in the movie at a time setting like that is completely inappropriate, and it completely ruins the scene.
Singin’ In the Rain: A Pink Dress? No Chance
Even though the wonderful Debbie Reynolds has passed away, her legacy will continue on in perpetuity thanks to the film Singin’ in the Rain. She was nothing short of phenomenal in her performance as Kathy Selden on-screen.
On the other hand, the iconic pink dress was more representative of the 1950s than it was of the 1920s. [Citation needed] [Citation needed] This fact ought not to be overlooked at any point.
The Doors: Ray Ban Sunglasses Didn’t Exist Yet
The film chronicles the life of the legendary Jim Morrison, who was a member of one of the most successful rock bands of the 1970s. In the film The Doors, Val Kilmer was cast in the role of the legendary figure.
Throughout the entirety of the movie, the actor sported a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. Even though they had a fantastic appearance, the fact of the matter is that the fashion wouldn’t become popular until the 1980s. Even for The Doors, that was a little bit too experimental of a move.
The Wedding Singer: Barrymore’s Haircut = 10 Years Later
Even though Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are the king and queen of romantic comedies, that doesn’t mean they’re immune to making historical errors in their movies. Despite the fact that “The Wedding Singer” has a special place in our hearts, we feel obligated to point out a wardrobe mistake in the film.
Despite the fact that Drew Barrymore’s new do was absolutely stunning, the cut is one that was more popular in the 1990s than it was in the 1980s.
Picnic at Hanging Rock: Again Hair Makes The List
Picnic at Hanging Rock presents a haunting image of girlhood back in the 1900s. The white dresses might have held an old-world charm, but the hairstyles were not appropriate for the setting. The straight hair parted in the middle seemed much more appropriate for the modern age.
If the actresses had worn their hair pinned up with tendrils framing the face, it would have added an extra layer of realism to the performance.
The Informant: Nike Golf Spikes Didn’t Exist Yet
The Nike golf spikes might have been an effective bit of product placement, but it was a rather anachronistic detail. The film takes place in 1992, but the clothing brand only released golf shoes in 1996.
Since the shoes did not come out until four years after the time period in which the movies were intended to be set, it would be a bit inappropriate to have a celebrity wear them while they are acting out a scene because they did not exist at the time.
The Last Samurai: Tom Cruise’s Armor Was Too Old
Tom Cruise starred in the 2003 period drama set in 1870s Japan. The Last Samurai told the story of an American military officer hired to train Japanese soldiers in modern warfare. The armor that Cruise dons in the film might have made a lasting impression, but in reality, it was a quarter of a millennium too old for the time period.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Modern Sunglasses
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is another film that messes with the way time works. However, that is no excuse for any wardrobe errors. Brad Pitt is shown wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses in multiple scenes. Stylish as they are, they had no reason to exist in 1945 as they were first introduced in 1952.
Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the Black Pearl): Redcoats – No Such Thing Then
This is more than just a wardrobe error. The Red Coats in The Curse of the Black Pearl should not have been present at all! The Royal Marines wore a different set of uniforms at the time. The unit would only come into existence in 1747, a couple of decades after the movie’s setting.
Seabiscuit: Strapped Helmets Didn’t Exist Yet
Toby Maguire played a jockey in the film and can be seen wearing a strapped helmet that came into fashion in 1956. The headwear made for a memorable sight, but it is important to note that the movie was set during the Great Depression.
The Ten Commandments: Nefertiri’s Dress Is Just Too Advanced
The epic religious drama from 1956 is still regularly viewed during Lent. It has made several artistic liberties when it comes to the plot, but even the wardrobe saw several historical inconsistencies. Anna Baxter wore a dress in a beautiful blue color that would have been impossible to make at the time. Regardless, she made Nefertiti a sight to behold in the aforementioned outfit.
Pretty Woman: Vivian’s Gown Changes Length
This one is more noticeable, even if you aren’t the most observant person in the room. Who can forget the first kiss shared by Vivian and Edward? However, it’s not a flawless moment. You can see at the start of the scene that Vivian is decked out in a long nightgown. It magically becomes a shorter one towards the scene.
The Notebook: Lon’s Changing Hair Color
Allie and Noah are still the OTP. Before Noah though, Allie was initially set to marry Lon. While Lon’s horrible war wounds were healing, there seems to be something with his hair. It changes from brown to black multiple times over the course of the film.
There Will Be Blood: Waffle Shoes Didn’t Exist Then
There Will Be Blood tells the rags-to-riches story of a miner who went on to become an oil magnate in 1892. However, Day-Lewis can be seen wearing waffle-soled boots and those were only introduced in the 1970s.
Pompeii: No Purple Capes
Pompeii depicted several characters wearing purple capes. However, if this actually happened in ancient Rome, they would have been executed. Why, you ask? Infamous Emperor Nero decreed that anyone who dared to wear the color aside from him would be sentenced to death.
Ben Hur: The Star of David
Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ stars Jack Huston in this new adaptation of the 1880 novel by Lew Wallace. However, the Star of David the protagonist wore wasn’t accurate. It might have made an impact, but it doesn’t match the historical records. Evidence has shown that the symbol has only been in use since the 12th century.
Unforgiven: Belt Loops
We’ll let it go this time, but only because this masterpiece deserves a spot in the Western canon. It was directed by Clint Eastwood and stars himself alongside Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman. The movie was set in 1880 Wyoming so the fact that Gene Hackman has belt loops doesn’t make sense. It threw us for a loop because they would only become the norm during the Roaring Twenties.
Quadrophenia: Band Didn’t Exist Then
The movie basically follows the rivalry between British rockers and mods in the 1960s. The reason it made it to the list? Someone was wearing a Motorhead T-shirt when the band would only be formed in 1975. True enough, that was the same year the movie was made. However, you’d think that the filmmakers would be more careful when music plays an important part in the story.
The Great Escape: Trendy Clothes
Even Steve McQueen holds a spot on the list. The film tells the tale of World War II prisoners of war as they escape from Germany. However, one might as well believe that it was set in the 90s thanks to all the khaki and cut-off shirts!
Pretty Woman: Edward’s Tie
Here’s another mistake from Pretty Woman. This time it’s about the scene when Vivian watches I Love Lucy and comes up to undo Edward’s tie. She would then proceed to watch the show. The following shot shows Edward’s tie fixed and then undone once more. Continuity error much?
Where Eagles Dare: It’s The Hair
Another World War 2 story, the film may have featured a great cast but it’s still prone to errors. Ingrid Pitt stars in the movie and while she looked remarkable in her hairdo, it was terribly out of place. It was fitting for the 1960s, not so much for a German waitress in the 1940s.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Giddy Up
The movie featured a lot of great headwear, but we’re pretty sure that cowboys weren’t a thing yet. In a sea of pirate hats, the unwanted extra in a cowboy hat was pretty conspicuous.
The Aviator: The Glasses
Simply put: the frameless specs that Robert Gross wears in The Aviator made for an unusually modern look in a 20s setting.
Alien: That Helmet
Another fairly obvious mistake: Kane’s hood somehow disappears into thin air when the alien approaches. Was this a secret alien power or a continuity error?
The Empire Strikes Back: That Jacket
Everyone loves Han Solo, but that’s not enough of a reason to give him a get-out-of-jail-free card. Our favorite intergalactic smuggler can be seen wearing a jacket that magically disappears multiple times in a single scene.
The Wizard Of Oz: Red Slippers?
Who wasn’t enchanted by the magical world presented by this classic movie? Everyone has heard of Dorothy’s ruby slippers. However, the ones in the movie look rather black to me.
The Avengers: The Suit
We all love Captain America, but we don’t remember anything about his suit’s ability to heal itself. Oh, wait… that’s not something he can do.
Full Metal Jacket: Wrap
Even when you’re shooting at a target, changing the angles shouldn’t just make a wrist wrap disappear. But that’s what happened in Full Metal Jacket anyway.
Harry Potter: The Suitcase
When you get locked out of Platform 9 ¾, it can surely be stressful. However, that’s not enough reason to replace a trunk with a different one in just a matter of seconds!
The Mummy: Switching Sides
The Mummy was a real hit back in 1999, but there was a continuity error that most of us missed. When Imhotep’s priests attack Jonathan and Rick, they decide to fight back. But in the first shot they’re seen standing side by side, only to switch positions in the next shot.
King Arthur: Everything
So they movie is based on a myth, but still, you’ve got to have your facts straight. So things like modern day shoes in the middle of the 5th century is not quite accurate. Aside from that the armor plates that the soldiers wore were waaay to heavy for what Sarmatian knights would have worn into battle.
Zulu: Shaved Faces
During the Zulu war with the British colonialists, British soldiers wore prominent handlebar mustaches, and did not go clean shaven. Sure times have changed since 1879, but this can’t be overlooked.
Hello, Dolly! Wrong Make-Up
Ah, we do love Barbara Streisand, and this is totally not her fault. However, in Hello, Dolly! which is set in the 1890’s, Streisand can be seen sporting some make-up that wouldn’t appear until the 1960’s.
Elizabeth I: Floating ruffs
Don’t worry, if it looks ridiculous now, just know that it looked just as ridiculous then. Neck ruffs should never have been worn without a top running right up to it, so Helen Mirren got the short end of the stick.
Lord of the Rings: Watch
Nobody can deny that Gandalf has magical skills that are out of this world, but a digital wristwatch might be pushing it a little. But who are we to judge when it comes to a trilogy that raked in close to $3 billion and swiped 17 Oscars? Yeah, exactly.
Braveheart: Man In The Back
It only takes one guy who isn’t paying enough attention to walk into the background of a photo without anyone noticing his presence there. This gentleman is a walking time traveler from the 21st century. It’s a shame that nobody noticed.
American Sniper: Baby
If this movie didn’t make you feel something, then I’m not sure what other film could do for you. Did you succeed in getting a better look at “his baby,” which Chris Kyle is currently holding? According to Clint Eastwood, the reason for the decoy was that he believed directing a doll would be easier than directing a real baby.
The baby that appears to be present in the scene is actually a doll made to look fairly realistic. The presence of the decoy is due to the fact that the audience believes the baby to be real.
Outlander: Expensive Material
The lining of Claire’s beautiful (subject to opinion) cloak is made out of tartan. Because tartan was so expensive in those days, if someone did happen to have it, they would wear it with the pattern facing out so that everyone could see it rather than hiding it away somewhere out of sight.
When considering the cost of the tartan in the era they are trying to recreate, it would have been more appropriate to wear the cloak so that the pattern faced outward so that it could be more prominently displayed.
Gone With The Wind: Electric Cables
Wow, can we already refer to this as a timeless classic? The fact that the (extremely) long movie starred legendary actors like Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh allows us to draw the conclusion that the movie was a work of art despite its length.
Due to the fact that the events of the movie take place during the time of the American Civil War, lamps with electrical cords did not exist during that time… I know, it comes as a complete surprise.
Star Wars: Knee Plate
Star Wars, how in the name of all that is holy could any of these movies have anything wrong with them? When Darth Vader finally loses it, he grabs the Rebel by the throat, and in the background, you can see a Stormtrooper who is missing a protector plate on his knee.
On the other hand, in the following shot (the close-up), the plate materializes seemingly out of thin air. Well, things happen and let us all just accept that not everything is perfect!
Fast Five: Cameraman
There was a lot of shooting in this movie, and sometimes you could even see the cameras that did so. When Mia and Brian make the jump off the roof, a gunman takes aim at them and a cameraman takes aim at the gunman. Fail.
Because of the intensity of the scene and the rapidity with which everything is occuring, it’s possible that nobody noticed this mistake. Everything is taking place at the same time.
Iron Man: Blood Disappears
Consequently, we should all be wondering when Stark was able to clean the blood drip off of his mouth. In one shot, it can be seen running down the side of his face, but in the following shot, it is no longer visible at all.
Or, let’s all just keep our fingers crossed and hope that someone has already cleaned up all of the blood before we film the other scene. Use your creativeness, folks!
Spiderman: Redhead Extra
Did this extra get paid a little more for making multiple appearances in multiple shots? Well because this redhead pops up a number of times in Spiderman, but hey she might just have forgotten something in the car… twice.
Or was it done on purpose so that she could be included in the film and boast to her friends that she had a role in the production? I mean, really, who wouldn’t want that, right? It would be an incredible experience to make an appearance in the Spider-Man film.
Pearl Harbor: The Scarf
Maybe it was cold… just maybe. It was when Rafe was about to set out to England that Evelyn wraps a scarf around his neck. Then just from behind he suddenly doesn’t have it. But straight after that, he has the scarf once again.
We are perplexed as to why the crew that is recording the scene or even the person who is responsible for the scene’s final editing did not notice anything at all. It’s kind of obvious when you can’t see it, if you know what I mean.
Spongebob Squarepants Movie: Disappearing Bracelet
Those who claim that there are no continuity issues in animated films are lying. It appears that Mindy’s gold band disappears for a brief moment while they are in the courtroom with King Neptune, but then it reappears for no apparent reason at all.
It’s almost like a game of “what’s the difference between this scene and the last one?” We highly doubt that you will even notice it if you allow yourself to become engrossed in the movie.
Bad Boys II: Book Moves
It’s the scene in which Tapia and his daughter are standing together, and his daughter has a book in one hand. The following shot reveals that she is holding the book in the hand that was previously empty.
It’s possible that it was overlooked, but those who pay close attention to the smallest of details will definitely catch on to this! This is something that is not difficult to notice, and you do not need any prior knowledge of the time setting in order to do so. You simply need to have good eyesight!
John Carter: A Revealing Costume
Lynn Collins, who played the Martian warrior Princess Dejah Thoris, garnered a lot of attention for her costume throughout the course of the film. She did acknowledge that it was fairly revealing, but in the end, it was because of her instructions that it was so.
The fact of the matter is, however, that the clothing, in accordance with the canon, ought to have been significantly less covert; rather, she ought to have been dressed in nothing but expensive jewelry.
