13 Awkward Movie Mistakes That Will Make Your Rewatch Your Favs

With every movie, no matter the director’s attention to detail, there’s going to be some mistakes. There is no such thing as perfection and even the greatest films of all time will have some flaws.

In fact, sometimes it’s the flaws that make things more fun. For example, it’s probably been a while since you’ve seen Pretty Woman, but the fact that a croissant magically becomes a pancake in between shots is just the kind of thing to reignite your curiosity.

When a sharp-eyed viewer is made aware of something you never noticed before, it’s amazing how obvious it seems once you know it’s there. And seeing it yourself is a pretty fun feeling.

So let’s revisit some of our favorite movies with the help of these 12 mistakes and our new, keener eye. Are you the kind of sharp-eyed movie viewer who finds new mistakes? Let me know in the comments!

1. Those don’t look like ruby slippers.

When the apple trees attack Dorothy and the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, there’s a brief moment where you can see she’s wearing black shoes instead of her ruby slippers.

2. The world’s fastest tattoo regret.

In She’s All That, we see Taylor get a tattoo. She’s later shown at the prom in a backless dress, which probably wasn’t the best idea since we can now see she no longer has her ink.

3. She’s a replicant, so maybe it’s a feature.

Zhora isn’t wearing any lipstick when Deckard chases her down. But after he shoots her, voilà!

4. No, he’s not supposed to be there.

While O’Brien and Moreno are fighting in Bad Boys, this camera operator appears in plain sight. And the movie takes place in a reform school, so it’s not like they’re filming a street fight.
