Movies are magic. And magic can make certain things appear in places they don't belong, right?
Airplanes in ancient times. Sneakers in the 19th century?
Movie buffs are experts at spotting flaws and anomalies in the films they see. As soon as a new movie hits theaters, some keen-eyed watcher usually notices every minor alteration in a character's appearance or the position of an object.
But these people are a minority. As a matter of fact, most people don't notice these movie blunders.
You would have to watch a particular movie several times, up until the point that the plot doesn't interest you anymore. Only then can you devote your attention to details.
But do you have the time needed to do that? Of course not.
That's why we've decided to make it easy on you and create a list with 17 of the most exciting movie blunders. Here are 17 things you probably didn't notice before, but that becomes so apparent once someone points them out to you.
In fact, they become unforgivable and literally hurt your eyes. You'll never be able to watch these films the same way again!
Take a look and see for yourself what we are talking about:
1. Twilight
You may often see the camera's reflection in a car window if you watch a movie closely. This is actually a regular blunder that many directors overlook. Twilight is a good example of this.
2. Inglourious Basterds
The German officer's chest emblem vanishes at one point and reappears in a later shot.
3. Avatar
The wheelchair is nowhere to be found when Jake opens the container. It pops out of nowhere next to him a split second later.
4. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Early in the film, the Terminator uses his own body to protect John from the T-1000's gunshots, receiving a full cartridge in the process. His coat is riddled with bullets. But after a few moments, it appears as good as new.
5. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
The front windows of the vehicle that the T-1000 is driving in his chase with John Connor blow out when it crashes over the bridge. They're back in the following scene.
6. .The Avengers
The bumper of one car is mysteriously restored to good condition during the scene where Thor smashes everything around him.
7. Dallas Buyers Club
Although the film is set in 1985, a poster of a Lamborghini Aventador is shown on a wall in one scene. This vehicle was only introduced in 2011.
8. Titanic
There were two Titanics, it appears. How else can we account for the deck's changing appearance?
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
There were a few pirates in Jack Sparrow's gang who like modern fashion.
10. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
John and Kate take off in a little white plane at one point. The number on the side appears to be N3035C at first glance. The number changes to N3973F once they've landed. When they arrive, though, the first number has resurfaced.
11. Marie Antoinette
This Sofia Coppola’s biography of the Queen of France contains a pretty astounding error. Converse shoes appear to have been popular among the nobility in the eighteenth century!
12. Alien
We notice Kane wearing a peculiar headgear inside his space suit as the crew discovers the alien ship. His suit's helmet is removed to expose the alien creature attached to his face when we later see him in the hospital, but his hat is missing.
13. The Usual Suspects
Where are the engines?
14. Ted
In nearly every scene in the film, the main character John appears to be holding his smartphone upside down.
15. Gladiator
The ancient Romans, according to Gladiator, had gas canisters in their chariots.
16. Gladiator (again)
We checked, and there were no planes in those days
17. Star Wars
One of the stormtroopers (far right) is overly tall and his head hits the door.
Making movies is difficult. For every frame we see in the final cut, there are probably hundreds more in the trash bin.
The fact is that directors are probably well aware of these tiny mistakes, but removing them would require reshooting the scene or some lengthy technological procedures. That’s why they remain in the movie.
