19 Movie Mistakes That Completely And Totally Ruined Otherwise Perfect Films
There’s nothing quite like the disappointment that comes from noticing a mistake in an otherwise perfect movie.
You’re engrossed, thinking only about the main character and their next steps, then suddenly, you’re brought crashing back into the real world by a blunder you can’t quite believe escaped a whole crew of movie professionals.
I recently asked the BuzzFeed Community which movie errors had done this for them, and now I have a good few new submissions to my “movies I can never watch in the same way again” list!
Let’s get into it:
1. “The church/library scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where ‘X marks the spot.’ You see the giant X when he goes upstairs to spot it, but it disappears (or there’s just a shadow of it) when he starts to break the floor to get to the tomb.”
2. “In Pretty Woman, during in the scene where Julia Roberts is eating breakfast. Every time the camera pans to her, she switches from eating a pancake to a croissant.”
3. “In Bambi. I think in newer versions it has been corrected, but when I was little I noticed they forgot to keep drawing one of the animals and it disappeared from the scene.”
4. “When Bella’s in the hospital during Twilight. Every time the camera position changes so does her oxygen nozzle (sorry idk what it’s called).”
5. “In the 1999 film Inspector Gadget when they gave a quarter-hearted attempt at hiding Claw’s face in the back seat of the car in one scene.”
6. “In Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, the scene where our trio finishes talking to Hagrid and either Ron or Harry ask “Who’s Nicolas Flamel?” Neither one of them seems to move their mouths.”
8. “I always have a hard time watching things (mostly TV episodes) set in Montana (born and raised). We do NOT have thick Southern accents, we are NOT all cowboys living in the middle of nowhere, and Great Falls and Billings are big ass cities (by MT standards) not small towns in the middle of nowhere.”
9. “In Return to Halloweentown when the mom swipes her debit card the strip is facing up yet she puts in her pin and completes the purchase 😆.”
10. “When the science teacher in To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You said, ‘What makes the octopus’s pulmonary system unique is that it has not one but three hearts.’ The heart is part of the cardiovascular/circulatory system, not the pulmonary system.”
11. “Both of these happen in Moonstruck and involve women’s hair. First, it is shown that Cher’s character Loretta has gray hair, which eventually gets dyed black. Yet the gray comes and goes a few times before she goes to the beauty salon.”
12. “The baby doll in American Sniper and Bradley Cooper using his fingers to move its arm as if it were real.”
14. “In Ocean’s 11 (The George Clooney version), how did they get all the stripper flyers into the vault in order to fill six large bags to put in the van?”
19. “In The Fast and The Furious, when Tran’s shirt suddenly changes from a black long-sleeved shirt to a black vest top for no apparent reason when he’s about to race Jesse.”
What would you add to the list? Let me know in the comments!
