Ah, movies — the action, the drama, the romance, the chaos — these complex beasts always guarantee a good time. The sheer amount of moving parts and details capture our attention and compel us to closely watch the storyline unfold, from start to finish. Something that, on rare occasions, inevitably leads to noticing errors that have slipped through the cracks.
While our beloved movies and TV shows pass by dozens of pairs of eyes before reaching daylight, even the most talented directors, editors, and producers slip up every once in a while. And here’s where the ‘Movie Mistakes’ subreddit comes in. Home to 144k eagle-eyed fans, it’s dedicated to pointing out unintentional yet interesting mistakes that made it into the final cut of a film or TV show.
From wandering extras to objects that belong in a completely different era, devoted cinema enthusiasts have set out to uncover numerous flaws that made their way into our devices and screens. Bored Panda has scoured the community and wrapped up an entertaining collection of some of their best posts below. So sit back, grab a bucket of popcorn, and enjoy scrolling through this list.
