15 Movie Goofs Only Fans Can Spot

When filming a movie and TV series, film directors try to pay attention to every little detail to make the movie look believable. Hundreds and even thousands of people can work on a single movie. However, even a multi-million dollar budget and a big crew can’t guarantee that you won’t find any goofs in the completed film.

The Lord of the Rings

In the entire trilogy, you might have noticed the color of Legolas’ eyes kept changing from blue to brown. This happened because Orlando Bloom couldn’t wear contact lenses every day as they would scratch his corneas. Hence, the production team took care of changing the color of his eyes digitally.

Iron Man (2008)

In the movie, Pepper Potts was wearing a wireless headset on her left ear after Tony’s press conference. But when Tony calls her down to the lab, her earpiece is gone.

Little Women (2019)

In one of the scenes with Timothée Chalamet, we can see a plastic bottle in the background. And if you look closer, you’ll see another bottle made from metal.

The Witcher (2019)

Based on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowski, the Netflix TV series The Witcher immediately became very popular. However, some details caused mixed emotions in the fans of the books. For example, Ciri, who lives in the 13th century, looks more like a modern woman as she gets older. “When did she find time to get her eyebrows and eyelashes done?” fans wondered.

Gladiator (2000)

In historical movies, we often see costumes that correspond to modern trends. Gladiator is one of these movies. And it doesn’t matter that Lucilla, Marcus Aurelius’ daughter, was a fashionista in her time, it’s hardly possible that she could have had a bone corset in the 2nd century.

Downton Abbey (2010)

The creators of the Downton Abbey TV series put a lot of effort into making sure the costumes correspond to their historic era. However, this didn’t save them from a small mistake in Mary Crawley’s undergarments. The drama unfolds in the Edwardian era starting in 1912 when long corsets that didn’t cover the breasts became trendy. But in one of the scenes, Michelle Dockery puts on a classic model which fully covers her breasts.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

On his first night on the Orient Express, Hercule Poirot puts on a sophisticated “shield” for his mustache. However, on the second night, we can see Hercule lying in bed without it. This forgetfulness contradicts Poirot’s scrupulosity and looks like a mistake made by the moviemakers.

The Last Duel (2021)

In one of the scenes of the movie The Last Duel, Marguerite de Carrouges is petting a Boston Terrier puppy — a breed that originated around 1875. But the events of the movie took place in 1386.

300 (2006)

Even if all of the costumes are well-thought-out, underwear can give away mistakes made by costume designers. This is what happened in the movie 300. It’s a mystery how a modern bra could appear in Ancient Sparta.

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)

The movie begins with the scene where 19-year-old Mary Stuart returns from France to Scotland in 1561, and ends with her execution in 1587, covering a period of 26 years.

Throughout the entire movie, the queens’ looks don’t change except for their hair and the smallpox scars on Elizabeth I’s face, who was played by Margot Robbie. It’s a miracle!

The Revenant (2015)

The events of the movie unfold in the northwest of America in the 19th century. The main hero, Hugh Glass, finds himself in extremely severe winter conditions. He has to find a way out of the woods alone and take revenge on a traitor.

The only thing Glass has is a water flask. He has neither a knife nor a blade. Despite that, his mustache doesn’t seem to grow at all.

Judy (2019)

In one of the scenes, the main heroine, portrayed by Renée Zellweger, is eating cake with her right hand. But Judy Garland’s fans know that she was left-handed, thus wouldn’t have done this. It’s interesting that in the earlier scene where the heroine was signing autographs, the moviemakers took this feature of hers into account. But after that, they probably relaxed and forgot about it.

I, Tonya (2017)

When Tonya takes part in the 1994 Winter Olympics, we can see new ice skates on her feet in the scene where her lace gets torn. But the truth is that figure skaters perform during competitions in the same skates they usually wear during training. So the boots should be noticeably worn-out as we can see in old videos.

Harry Potter movies

In the books, JK Rowling mentioned that Harry Potter had green eyes just like his mum. However, if you notice in the movies, Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry, has blue eyes. But the actress who played the role of young Lily has brown eyes.
