In the vast world of cinema, it's easy to overlook the significance of movie posters. Often dismissed as mere promotional tools, these seemingly innocuous images actually hide a treasure trove of illogical and bizarre elements. Have you ever wondered why a city boasting its own superhero suffers from the highest crime rate? Or perhaps you're curious about the enchantments left untold in the magical world of Harry Potter. Fear not, for we are here to shed light on these mysteries and more.

We eagerly present this collection of revelations, aiming to uplift your spirits and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the whimsical world of movie posters. As we embark on this journey, let us remember not to hold the creators solely responsible, as few can withstand the pressures of meeting deadlines and capturing the essence of a film in a single image. So, without further ado, let's unravel the enigmatic tales lurking within movie posters

#1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I

This is an enchantment that Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger would love. Harry (look at his head) is both inside and outside of the subway car. As it turns out, the ability to be in two places at once is due to pure Hogwarts magic rather than quantum mechanics.

#2. 300

King Leonidas intended to fight with a spear, but a misunderstanding occurred, and a sword was placed in his hand instead.

#3. The Dark Knight

If you've ever wondered why the city with its own superhero has such a high crime rate and new villains appear on a daily basis, we have the answer. Examine the poster for The Dark Knight: Because he's only looking at the window frame, Batman can't see all of the crimes.

#4. Over Her Dead Body

We're curious if this movie poster was created on the spur of the moment, or if it's a form of retaliation against Eva Longoria. Take a look for yourself: the actress has clearly had someone else's body glued to her head, the knees have been removed, and the arms, particularly the right one, have been made quite long.

#5. Gulliver’s Travels

Jack Black is surprised that dozens of small men have bound him and that all of his teeth are missing. We don't know how to explain it, and it's difficult to understand why the Photoshop expert decided to "remove" all of Black's teeth and tongue.

#6. Logan

Logan is a flick about the well-known Wolverine and an 11-year-old mutant named Laura. Hugh Jackman's hand appears to be much larger than the young actress's hand. The image begs the following questions: could a child have such long fingers, and why is the girl's hand so small? Some, on the other hand, believe there is no mistake and that the illusion is the result of Logan's hand.

#7. The Accidental Husband

According to the plot, a fireman and a man in a suit fell in love with Emma Lloyd (played by Uma Thurman). However, don't you think it's odd that the position both men take in the movie poster doesn't appear to be convenient for actually catching the woman? Probably, their feelings aren't that strong after all — they're smiling carelessly and don't even think about Emma.

#8. Solace

If you look closely at Colin Farell's head, you'll notice that his attempts to make it as big as Anthony Hopkins' did not go well. The proportions of the head were ruined: the hair area was overly stretched, and the size of the forehead would make Megamind the unluckiest villain in the world jealous.

#9. Going the Distance

Drew Barrymore is hugging her co-star in such a sweet way... Wait a minute, how is that even possible? Take a look at her hand. There are only two possibilities: the actress has a very short shoulder, or the actors hugged differently and the Photoshop specialist forgot to retouch her hand in the final version of the movie poster.
