shocking mistakes you never noticed and
blockbuster movies before we begin we

this list we’re looking at the biggest
goofs mistakes or continuity errors
present in major Hollywood films
together which way in here
number 10 Han Solo’s disappearing jacket
Star Wars Episode five the Empire
Strikes Back
han Solo may be known as the one who
shot first but did you know that he was
quick enough to take off his jacket
without anyone noticing
in Episode five s iconic Carbonite
freezing scene take a close look at Hans
clothing as the camera punches in while
he delivers his famous I note line Han
Solo’s blue jacket miraculously appears
then subsequently disappears from his
body
as was the case with the infamous
stormtrooper head bump from the original
Star Wars later HD remasters of the film
attempted to fix this error by color
correcting the jacket to match his white
shirt but the leathery shine is
unmistakable number 9 pre-prepared
shrimp Forrest Gump my mom always said
life was like a box of chocolates mama
always said life is like a box of
chocolates you never know what you’re
gonna get but when making a movie
sometimes you know exactly what to
expect as the titular Forrest Gump and
his friend Lieutenant Dan do some
crustacean fishing aboard his boat
they’re fortunate enough to catch a hell
of a lot of shrimp
but as they marvel over their massive
Hall the shrimp are clearly pre-prepared
with their heads already removed in such
ways that no wild crustacean would be it
sure saves a heck of a lot of time
though are you telling me you’re the
owner of the Bubba Gump shrimp
corporation yes sir number 8 the cowboy
pirate parts of the Caribbean the curse
of the Black Pearl on deck you scabrous
dog Captain Jack Sparrow’s shipped the
Black Pearl has been home to some
incredibly diverse beings over the
Pirates franchise’s lifespan from undead
pirates to immortal octopus men too even
monkeys but in the original 2003 film a
very peculiar man seems to have slipped
aboard nearly unnoticed during the final
scene as Captain Jack is rallying his
crew to journey onward for a new
adventure eagle-eyed viewers can spot a
very modern looking man donning a cowboy
hat looking out at the open sea in the
background oops maybe this was just
careful for shadowing for Johnny Depp
and director gore Verbinski’s later
collaboration on the Lone Ranger speak
English don’t you
[Music]
number seven modern transportation
Braveheart Mel Gibson directs and stars
in the sprawling Scottish war story
about William Wallace leading his army
in the fight for freedom but in almost
three hours of movie it’s inevitable
that a flubber two would slip through
the cracks as the opposing armies charge
towards one another during a rousing
battle scene a conspicuous white van can
be seen peeking out from behind the
charging horses it goes quick but if you
know where to look then it’s very hard
to miss wonder how much extra horsepower
this vehicle would lend to the battle
number six has placed red slippers The
Wizard of Oz Dorothy gales jovial
journey with her newfound friends
through the land of Oz is well regarded
as the first major motion picture to use
color but one little oversight makes
things turn black and white once again
as Dorothy and the Scarecrow are
attacked by sentient apple chucking
trees on their way down the yellow brick
road scarecrow is struck by an apple and
tumbles to the ground for a brief moment
we can see that Dorothy’s magical ruby
red slippers have been replaced by much
more comfortable looking black shoes
odds are she probably didn’t snag those
plain looking loafers from a crushed
witch’s feet I wish I could remember but
I guess it doesn’t matter anyway number
five
floating brew Quantum of Solace the girl
that just walked in here to give her
that time to call me James Bond might be
the world’s greatest secret agent but
even he managed to miss this scoop as
Daniel Craig’s bond since aboard his
bike by the waterfront awaiting a call
on his phone the hustle and bustle of
the dock takes place behind him but one
extra is noticeable due to the fact that
his so-called sweeping he’s actually
just pantomiming the broom motions mere
inches above the ground more likely to
avoid kicking up dust in the scene and
hey who can blame him nobody likes doing
their choice if they can avoid it number
four gas-powered chariot race gladiator
Ridley Scott’s sword and sandals epic
one-day Academy Award for Best Picture
upon the year of its release but that
isn’t to say the movie isn’t without its
fault during one of the poems many
thrilling Coliseum battles a horse
pulled chariot clipped the wall and
topples over sending its passengers
scattered onto the floor however a sheet
on the back of the chariot falls away to
reveal that a modern gas cylinder was
actually the cause of the flashy
accident a little bit of medieval
trickery perhaps thumbs down to that
[Applause]
number three rearranged New York City
Independence Day oh yeah great now he
tells me Roland Emmerich’s 1996 disaster
film about humanity’s battle against
alien invaders has about as many
mistakes as it does explosions but this
one is especially egregious as an alien
ship positions itself above the Empire
State Building in New York City ready to
blow it sky-high
we see plenty of passerby standing on a
road leading directly up to the building
when it finally goes boom flames and
debris engulf the road and the people on
it the problem is this road doesn’t
exist in reality there would be another
building here instead of a conveniently
placed Road cool shot sure realistic not
a chance
number two pre-emptive ear protection
North by Northwest second year
Alfred Hitchcock might be the master of
shock and suspense but even he couldn’t
prevent this little extra from jumping
the gun Cary Grant’s Roger Thornhill and
Eva Marie Saint Eve Kendall arrived at
the Mount Rushmore visitor center with a
plan to stage a fatal shooting using a
gun loaded with blanks a quick glance at
the background of the scene reveals a
young boy seated at the table shielding
his ears from the sound of the gunshot
about to go off maybe he was in on the
plan too
probably not but this kid’s fear of loud
bang cemented him in history as one of
filmmaking’s all-time greatest flops
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
the rape the sorrow and collect up all
the cream the Candyman
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
number one misleading t-rex panic
Jurassic Park Steven Spielberg’s 1993
masterpiece might be one of the greatest
films ever made but it also has one of
the biggest head scratches in cinematic
history as the electric fence is broken
down the dinosaurs paddock is clearly
flush with the rest of the ground but as
the t-rex bashes dr. grant and his Jeep
into the enclosure suddenly there is a
massive drop leading to the ground below
so how exactly did the t-rex simply step
from one side of the paddock to the
other the movie already takes a heavy
suspension of disbelief but this might
be taking it just a Jurassic Lee large
step too far do you agree with our picks
