13 Obvious Movie Mistakes To Attentive Viewers

Do you usually notice movie mistakes? Do they spoil your impression of the film you’re watching?

When filming a movie or TV series, film directors always attempt to pay attention to every tiny detail to create scenes as realistic as possible. A single movie may be the product of hundreds or even thousands of people. And even though a shot is meant to be perfect, some details could seem improbable.

Sometimes, directors purposefully include flaws to toy with the audience. Today’s compilation is all about mistakes, and even the least observant viewers will notice them all.

Even though we’re going to talk about some movie flaws in this post, that’s not the main reason we watch these movies. We honestly say that some mistakes don’t ruin our favorite movies. But it’s still fascinating to discover what we missed.

Scroll down to see our list of 13 movie goofs and tell us which one you notice the most!

Only in 1980 did Apple hold an IPO and this was the time for people to make investments in it. In 1976, when Forrest receives a letter from Apple Computers, the movie is set. In addition, he claims to have “invested in some kind of fruit company.”

A cup is placed next to Tony Stark while he uses a computer. However, it is turned around. The letters “Stark” are clearly visible. The cup is already in the right place when the camera displays a close-up of it.

The film is set in 1998. The characters’ hairstyles, outfits, and scenery all reflect the atmosphere of the time. But that only lasts until Beverly walks into the pharmacy and we notice contemporary hygiene products on the shelves.

#6 Kate & Leopold (2001)

You can clearly see Darci (Natasha Lyonne) touching the wall a few inches to the right of the call button in the moment where she approaches the elevator to press it.

You can see Sonic steering a car in this scene. You’ll note that the Sonic’s ear should be behind the car but instead, it appears in the foreground (outside the car).

#8 Tesla (2020)

While a thunderstorm is occurring, the characters are in a field. However, the performers’ shadows can be seen on the wall when lightning strikes. The sequence might not have been shot on location, but rather in a studio.

#9 That Awkward Moment (2014)

It’s the scene in which Ellie (Imogen Poots) is sitting and talking in a cafe with Jason (Zac Efron). At some point, her reflection appears to be out of sync with her as she moves her head. The shots were combined.

#10 The Fifth Element (1997)

In one scene, Leeloo is crawling around in the vent. She then raises her hands, revealing the dirt on her palms. Several seconds later, she eventually lands on a taxi, though, and her hands are miraculously clean.

#11 The Gentlemen (2020)

The camera moves down to Rosalind’s (Michelle Dockery) feet as she walks from the car to the garage. The Louboutins are on her feet. She is wearing a pair of shoes that is totally different from the ones at the scene when her husband looks at her in the office.

#12 The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)

While Tyler, Zak, and Eleanor are attempting to go from South Carolina to Florida, they are moving the wrong way. If the ocean was to their left, the scene would make sense.
