10+ Curious Goofs That Sneak Into Movies But Viewers Turned A Blind Eye To
Making a good movie requires an extraordinary team of professionals working hard on set to make every scene perfect. Despite the best efforts of filmmakers and editors, some silly mistakes can occasionally make it into the final cut. These mistakes may range from continuity errors, such as an actor's clothing changing between shots, to factual inaccuracies, such as an anachronistic object appearing in a period piece.
Goofs slip through the cracks and go unnoticed by viewers until they are pointed out in online forums or commentary tracks. While these mistakes may be frustrating for filmmakers, they can also become beloved Easter eggs for dedicated fans who enjoy hunting for hidden details in their favorite movies.
Here are 10 mistakes that ended up on the big screen.
#1. Jurassic Park
It’s hard to spot mistakes in the movie Jurassic Park because of its dark color. Look at the scene (1:49:08), viewers wonder what it is exactly. Some believe it is a hand while others claim is the dinosaur’s tail. We think it’s a hand. What about you?
#2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Harry Potter’s lightning bolt-shaped scar created by Lord Voldemort disappears for a few seconds. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, when Dumbledore leaves Harry with a family of Muggles, we seen no mark on his forehead. In the second shot, it magically appears (00:03:49).
#3. No Country for Old Men
The movie takes place in 1980 but the tag on the phone booth is dated ’06.
#4. Legends of the Fall
Brad Pitt’s look from the movie Legends of the Fall is controversial. With his perfect blond hair, he looks more like a 90s rock singer than a peasant from the early 20th century.
#5. Avengers: Endgame
Despite being one of the most successful movies of all time, the movie has several silly mistakes. Look at the scene where some kids approach Hulk to take a picture, we can see a pancake cut in the middle. However, the two halves are joined together after just seconds.
#6. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
An error appears in a flash in the movie but it cannot escape from eagle-eye fans. In the scene where little Caesar goes out to play but is attacked by his neighbor, the buckets on a table fall after being knocked over (00:19:30). But another bucket is on the table right after Will Rodman (James Franco) appears to defend him.
#7. The Fast and the Furious
It is extremely interesting to discover that Johnny Tran from the first installment of The Fast and the Furious was the fastest of them all. At 1:12:56, he wears a black shirt but after seconds, this shirt turns into a sleeveless T-shirt.
#8. Captain America: The First Avenger
Despite Agent Carter’s beauty, her look isn’t appropriate in World War II. At that time, women in the military were required to wear their hair up but she didn’t.
#9. Sons of Anarchy
In Sons of Anarchy, season 3, Stephen King measures an arm using the back side of a tape measure.
#10. Django Unchained
