31 Hilarious Things Movies Got Completely Wrong
Movies and television shows pass by dozens of pairs of eyes before they reach our devices and cinema screens, but human error exists and mistakes can still happen. That’s why sometimes things or illogicalities that shouldn’t be there make the final cut for everyone to see.
At this point, looking for inaccuracies or bad details in films has become a fun thing to do for some movie watchers. Over a million of them are gathered in this Reddit community, which allows them to share their accidental discoveries with other cinema enthusiasts.
Scroll down to find the most hilarious mistakes that somehow slipped past the careful eyes of movie makers, and be aware that the members of this subreddit often dabble in some serious irony and sarcasm.
While you're at it, make sure to check out a conversation with filmmaker and writer Molly Smith, who kindly agreed to tell us why such things go unnoticed.
