10 Shocking Movie Mistakes That Slipped Into The Final Film
Like any other line of work, mistakes are made in the world of movie-making.
However, unlike most other lines of work, movie-making allows for the rectification
of said mistakes without any harm being done, thanks to the people behind the movies having
the ability to reshoot and reproduce any scenes in which mistakes are made.
That being said, some mistakes actually occur without anyone realising - and that means
they can end up being included in the finished production.
In this video, we'll take a look at some examples of that happening.
Here are ten shocking movie mistakes that slipped into the final film.
Zootopia 2016's Zootopia has quickly cemented itself
as one of the greatest animated movies of all time - and its box office return of more
than $1 billion is well and truly justified - but it certainly isn't without its flaws
(mostly in the form of continuity errors).In fact, it's littered with mistakes, one of
which occurs when the black panther Manchas turns savage and chases Judy and Nick through
the forest.
Judy clearly drops her walkie talkie and it falls quite a long way below where she's running.
However, a few moments later, it's inexplicably reattached to her belt - and we don't believe
she can just call it back to her like Thor does with Mjolnir!
Deadpool The awesome Deadpool movie featured Ryan Reynolds
starring as the titular Marvel anti-hero, who is known for his amazing ability to heal
from almost any injury very quickly - but, if the movie is to be believed, his costume
has that same ability too!Of course, it doesn't really, but in Deadpool's epic climactic fight
with Ed Skrein's Ajax, the Merc with a Mouth gets stabbed in the head.
Not only does his head heal fairly quickly, but the resulting hole in his mask also miraculously
disappears once the knife is removed from the wound.
I could really use some clothes like that...
Jurassic Park Jurassic Park is one of the most iconic movies
ever made.
The 1993 offering brought dinosaurs to life in a way no movie ever had before it - using
almost entirely practical effects to do so - and that resulted in some fantastic scenes,
as well as some glaring mistakes.In the scene in which the velociraptors enter the kitchen
in the visitor's centre, where Lex and Tim are terrified and hiding, as the first raptor
makes its way through the door, you can clearly see a member of the animatronics team's hand
reaching out to steady the creature's tail.
Way to spoil the illusion, douchebag!
Avatar The highest-grossing movie of all time by
quite a large margin, you'd be forgiven for thinking that 2009's Avatar was the perfect
movie.
It is, in fact, far from it, as it contains a surprisingly high number of mistakes.
In this instance, the mistake we're referring to happens when Giovanni Ribisi's Parker Selfridge
- the corporate administrator for the RDA mining operation in the movie - is practising
his putting in one of the RDA's control rooms.
He has 3 golf balls and is shown putting one of them - but the other two spontaneously
change from being close to each other, to then being apart, to then being close to each
other again.
Frozen Frozen is nothing short of a phenomenon.
The success and popularity of the 2013 movie is unprecedented and it remains the highest-grossing
animated movie of all time to this day.
But it had some glaring errors in it.
When Anna enters the art gallery singing "For the First Time in Forever", there's a wide
shot of the room that shows that there are no seats in there.
However, when she starts jumping in front of paintings and posing, she leaps off a seat
to do so - a seat that clearly appeared out of thin air, as it wasn't there just seconds
before.
Titanic Titanic is the second-highest grossing movie
of all time and is generally perceived as being a cinematic masterpiece.
The acting was first class, as was the directing of James Cameron, and the intricate set designs
were unbelievably high in detail, but there were some major flaws in the movie.
A prime example comes in the form of inconsistencies in the design of the ship itself.
Take the front of the ship, for example.
The gaps in the railings change sizes, the deck anchor characteristics change dramatically,
and the very front point of the ship changes its shape - and that doesn't even come close
to covering all mistakes of that nature.
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Back when George Lucas first decided to make
Star Wars, he had absolutely no idea just how big the movie - and indeed the whole franchise
- would become.
As a result, he probably wasn't quite as careful as he otherwise would've been when it came
to the movie's minor details.
Consequently, the original 1977 film is littered with mistakes.
One such mistake occurs when Obi-Wan and Luke enter the Mos Eisley Spaceport and trick the
Storm Troopers into letting them in by using the force.
One particular Storm Trooper, who is standing behind their vehicle, suddenly disappears
in an instant.
He's there in one shot and completely gone in the next.
Given that we don't believe he possessed magical powers, that's an error.
The Goonies Ah The Goonies - so quintessentially 80s and
a throwback to the years when kids could still be kids.
But enough of all that mushy, sentimental nostalgic stuff, we're here to point out a
silly mistake that occurred before the movie had even properly started.During the opening
credits, when we're introduced to Jonathan Ke Huy Quan's Data, the young inventor is
seen testing out a new gadget.
He fires a sucker at a trash can - which is full of trash - and is inadvertently dragged
towards it before falling in.
However, when he falls in, it has suddenly become empty.
Self-emptying trash cans?!
Whatever next?
Despicable Me One of the finest animated movies to ever
hit cinemas, 2010's Despicable Me contains a plethora of memorable scenes - one of which
takes place in an amusement park, when Gru is reluctantly persuaded into going there
by his adoptive daughters.
A mistake occurs in this particular scene when Gru and the girls ride on a roller coaster.
When Gru gets onto the roller coaster, the cart he gets in clearly has a pink safety
bar on it.
However, when he exits the cart after the ride has come to an end, the safety bar has
completely disappeared.
Unless he tore it off in sheer terror during the ride, that wasn't meant to be the case.
Captain America: Civil War The highest-grossing movie of 2016 so far,
even Captain America: Civil War contained a number of mistakes - and one of them came
courtesy of the usually-so-meticulous Robert Downey Jr.In the scene in which the Avengers
first speak to the United States Secretary of State, Thaddeus Ross, Downey Jr's Tony
Stark alternates between wearing a wedding ring and not wearing a wedding ring.
Downey Jr. is, of course, married in real life, but Tony Stark isn't married in the
MCU, so this obviously comes courtesy of some rare absent-mindedness on the part of the
Oscar-nominated actor.
Bad Robert!
