15 Times Filmmakers Slipped Up and Movie Fans Quickly Caught the Mistake

On movie sets, there’s usually someone in charge of making sure scenes are consistent, even when they’re shot days, weeks or months apart: a script supervisor. Despite that, people still find mistakes in both low and high budget films. And we can’t blame anyone because the complexity of these movies and the long hours of work makes it so it’s easy to miss a misplaced water bottle on set, for example.

1. In Titanic, Rose is not holding onto her dress in one shot, but in the next one, she is.

2. At the beginning of Thor: Love and Thunder, we see Gorr, played by Christian Bale, and in between scenes, the actor’s distinctive wart changes sides several times.

3. In Babylon Berlin, season 2, the main character is using his Leica Standard camera wrong — the lens is closed, so the camera can’t capture anything.

4. In Malcolm in the Middle, season 7, Dewey plays without a cartridge in his Gameboy.

5. In The Little Mermaid, when Carlotta brings the plates for their meal, each has a silver handle. But when Sebastian runs across, one of those silver handles changes to gold.

6. In Big Little Lies, Nicole Kidman puts her finger on the camera lens by accident.

7. In Zombieland: Double Tap, a cameraman’s finger is shown on-screen.

8. In Ambulance, FBI Agent Anson Clark receives a text message at 1:14 p.m. despite his phone time reading 12:37 p.m.

9. In this Matrix scene, you can clearly see the camera in the reflection of the door handle.

10. In Little Women, a plastic bottle can be seen in Laurie’s house, even though the movie is set in 1863.

11. No Country for Old Men is supposed to take place in 1980, but the tag on the phone booth is dated ’06.

12. In Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence’s gloves appear suddenly when she drinks from the cup.

13. In New Girl, season 4, Jess’s nail polish disappears mid-scene.

14. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Gandalf the White is wearing sneakers.

15. Beauty and the Beast included the Eiffel Tower, but it wasn’t built yet.

  • In Beauty and the Beast, when Lumière is singing “Be Our Guest,” during the line, “...after all miss, this is France,” the dishes form the shape of the Eiffel Tower, but according to sources, Beauty and the Beast takes place somewhere between 1790-1880, and the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889.
