5 Hilarious Movie Mistakes You Won’t Believe Are Real
Whether you sent the wrong text to the wrong person or you accidentally wore your pajamas
to school one day, it’s safe to say that we all make mistakes.
Film makers and actors are no exception to this rule – the only difference is that
we don’t have the judging eyes of the entire world of us when we slip up like they do.
Sometimes bloopers can make a movie better or be left in on purpose as a fun easter egg
or sometimes they can just be an oversight.
We’re taking a look at 5 movies with some hilarious bloopers that made it to final film
in our list of 5 Hilarious Movie Mistakes You Won’t Believe Are Real.
Star Wars Star Wars fans are some of the most devoted
fans in the world.
With online forums, appreciation days and much more, there is nothing in the intergalactic
cinematic universe that has not been analyzed and scrutinized by fans.
Fans have been looking for mistakes and bloopers for a long time and each installment in the
episodic space epic seems to add some more.
Any Star Wars fan will be able to recall one of the most famous mistakes when the storm
trooper famously hits his head on the door, and tries to cover it up sneakily.
This has now become a running inside joke amongst the Star Wars community.
One blooper that may have slipped passed even some of the biggest fans comes in the original
film, A New Hope.
The weapons of the Jedi Knights were indeed cutting edge, but on set, they’re were actually
a clever use of old-fashioned tech that created the famous effect.
The swords had three sides covered in reflective tape, which would rotate to give off a shimmering
effect.
It worked wonders at the time – except when Obi- Wan and Darth Vader first face off in
the Death Star, and the white power cord is clearly visible running from the Jedi’s
saber up his sleeve.
This can be easily seen by pausing the scene and is certainly a fun blooper that shows
off just how old the Star Wars series is!
Inglourious Basterds Inglorious Basterds is undoubtedly one of
Quentin Tarantino’s greatest works of all time.
Everything from the plot to the acting to the cinematography was clearly carefully considered
in this award winning film.
It takes a very sharp eye then to find a blooper that has slipped its way into the film, but
that’s what we’re here for!
During the scene where we meet Brad Pitt’s crew of Nazi killers, most memorably the bear
jew they are preparing to punish the German Feldwebel.
He ends up, of course, getting beaten to death with a baseball bat, but if you look closely
there is a funny mistake that has slipped past Tarantino.
Feldwebel has a badge over his left breast pocket, which seems to disappear and reappear
during the cut together shots of his death.
This may be a small detail but it is definitely funny to think about a director seeing it
in the final cut and freaking out!
American Sniper Clint Eastwood’s patriotic thriller American
Sniper was one movie that garnered some serious controversy for its portrayal of some difficult
and violent subject matter.
There have been many debates about how many historical mistakes are present in this film
and whether or not the creation of this movie was a mistake all together.
Regardless of all that messy drama, the film also delivers one of the most hilarious bloopers
to ever make it into the final cut of a film.
Alpha male and protagonist of the film Chris Kyle, portrayed by Bradley Cooper, is holding
his baby but it is very clear on camera that he is holding a doll.
If you watch the scene closely you can even see Cooper using his hand to make it look
like the doll is alive and moving.
In the middle of a movie that is so serious and dramatic it is an oddly appreciated blooper
that allows the audience to breathe and remember that they are watching a film.
We don’t think it was left in there on purpose, but it sure is funny!
Troy Troy tells the epic tale of warrior Achilles
and the climax of the film pits Brad Pitt and Eric Bana against each other in one of
the most intense one on one battles ever recorded on film.
The fans appreciated the movie but historians panned it for the way it bended the historical
truth in the name of creating a more engaging and entertaining film.
While some of those truths might still be up for debate there are a couple bloopers
in Troy that are hilarious and impossible to argue with.
During an establishing shot of the walls of Troy, the camera accidentally frames in a
crane that the film crew had been using to work on the set.
This mistake is small and takes a keen eye to find but it is totally worth looking for
its quite hilarious given the historical setting of the film.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone There was a time in 2011 when fans of the
magical cinematic universe thought that they may never get to return to J.K Rowling’s
amazing world ever again.
That quickly changed with the launching of things like Pottermore, Harry Potter World
at Universal Studios and 2016’s new film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
Fans of the original series will recall some quirky and fun bloopers that slipped into
the final films.
One of the most hilarious ones come in the original more when during the Quidditch match
Harry's broomstick tries to shake him off, due to the spell being cast by professor Quirrel.
After Hermione tells Ron, "Leave it to me," in Harry's last close-up before he flips over,
the seat that is attached to the broomstick, to make it more comfortable for child actor
Daniel Radcliffe to sit on, is entirely visible.
Glimpses of other seats can be seen during the match as well.
By the final films, CGI had improved and broomstick flying looked absolutely stunning.
So there you have it, there’s our list of 5 movies with hilarious bloopers that you
and the film makers might have missed!
