20 Awkward Movie Mistakes That'll Make You Say, "Wow, Really?"

If you make a mistake in your line of work, what do you do? Do you have the type of job where it doesn’t really matter? Maybe you can just shove your hands in your pockets, turn around and walk away whistling! Or perhaps you have the kind of job where a mistake needs fixing immediately, or that it could be a matter of life and death! Well, imagine you had the kind of job where if you made a mistake, people could look at it and laugh for the rest of time! That’s the deal for the folks in the movie business, so laugh all you want at these, but you gotta feel sorry for them too! 1. The Matrix Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne look pretty cool in this door handle reflection shot, but we’re not too sure about the cameraman… 2. Spy Kids Recording films when there are mirrors around is a very bad idea – you will almost always see a cameraman trying to hide from the reflection. 3. Gladiator Oops, on here again – a gas canister in full view of the camera during a chariot race, when gas canisters hadn’t been invented yet otherwise they probably wouldn’t have been running around with horses and chariots in the first place. 4. Jungle Book In the newest version of the Walt Disney classic, you can see a rain scene but the actors aren’t being rained on at all. The creatures that live in the jungle aren’t being splashed on, and neither are the people, such as Mowgli. Did you notice? 5. Pirates of the Caribbean We all knew about his obsession with rum, but who knew Captain Jack Sparrow’s favorite brand was Addidas? 6. Troy You’d have thought someone might have noticed this very modern plane flying in the background of a very not-modern Brad Pitt in full warrior costume. 7. Braveheart The 13th-century warrior is seen wearing a kilt throughout the movie, yet the kilt itself wasn’t invented until the 16th century. 8. The Lion King Nala, the best friend of Simba, seems to have changing-color-eyes. In some scenes, they’re blue, and in others, they’re green. 9. Rumble in the Bronx Chan’s character in the movie wears a right sock to hide a plaster cast because, whilst doing one of his own stunts, he seriously injured himself. 10. Back to the Future In one scene, Marty is seen having a whale of a time with a guitar that hadn’t been released yet. The movie was set in the year 1955, but the guitar itself wasn’t released until 1958. 11. Titanic The Titanic famously sunk after hitting an iceberg in 1912, five years before the actual Lake Wassata was formed by a man-made dam in 1917. So that whole ice-fishing tale Jack told Rose? He must’ve made up… 12. Django Unchained Django “Freeman” is often seen wearing a super cool pair of sunglasses in the movie set in the 1850’s. However, at the time doctors would give sunglasses out to people who needed them for medical reasons. 13. Saving Private Ryan Captain Miller has been hurt in battle, and he’s composing himself, resting on the ground, leaning up against a motorcycle. The motorcycle in question is a Ural M-63, and a rather authentic model at that. However, the bike wasn’t actually released until over eighteen years after the movie was set. 14. Pretty Woman In one scene, Julia Roberts’ character is enjoying a croissant for breakfast… But moments later, the croissant has transformed into a pancake! This is either a continuity error, or she happened to have one in each hand, in which case – we’ve never related to anything more! 15. Cast Away As Tom Hanks, playing the role of Chuck Nolan, finds a floating FedEx box in the ocean, but we’re surprised that the cardboard isn’t soggy from the water… 16. Pulp Fiction We’re surprised that one of Quentin Tarantino’s most popular films would have an error, but the most iconic scene of the movie sees bullet holes in the wall before any shooting actually takes place… 17. Dallas Buyers Club In one scene in the film, which is set in 1985, you can see a poster of a Lamborghini Aventador behind Woodroof. However, this specific model of Lamborghini actually did not exist until 2011. 18. Dirty Dancing In the car scene, Johnny is supposed to be driving – but the gearshift shows that the car is actually parked. 19. Forrest Gump In the 1975 film, Forrest received an exciting letter, and we got to see the header – a highly obvious apple logo. However, the company only started trading and became a public name in 1981, six years after the film was set. 20. Rain Man Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise are stuck in a phone box together, and according to reports, Dustin Hoffman passed a nice bit of gas for his co-star to enjoy. Fun fact, ey?
