20 Of The Biggest Movie Mistakes You Probably Haven’t Noticed, As Shared By This Guy On TikTok
Watching movies is one of the most frequent and entertaining activities. It is known that creating a movie takes a lot of time and resources. But it seems that even the most interesting and highly successful movies can have some flaws. Having this in mind, TikTok user @davidjustinn started making videos where he shows the biggest mistakes left in the final cut of movies.
Justin, who has 8.6M followers on TikTok, exposes some of the best-known movies, including some of the classics such as Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Disney movies, one of them being Frozen. The creator also expressed his interest in how some of these mistakes actually made it to the final cut.
Some of the discrepancies that the TikToker presented seemed to be hardly noticeable when watching a movie as well as really funny when you turn your attention to it. One of these bizarre mistakes was noticed in the movie Quantum of Solace, where a background actor was sweeping the floor, but it was hard to understand what was he sweeping as the broom was held off the ground.
Which of these mistakes do you find the most hilarious? Or maybe you have noticed some other weird errors in movies? Don’t forget to leave your observations in the comments down below!

In the movie 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' there's one humongous mistake that I'm surprised most people haven't noticed before. Pay close attention to this little blonde girl at the bottom right. The candyman accidentally hits this little girl right in the face when he lifts the counter.
This makes me laugh every single time. Little trouper actress kept going!
In this scene where Judy is on the phone with her parents, you can clearly see that the time says 8:40pm but then just a couple of seconds later when she puts her phone down you can see it says 9:44pm.
Obviously. Does this guy get angry when a movie's plot dpans over a couple days but the movie is only an hour & a half long? What an idiot.
Load More Replies...They edited out all the hour long personal conversations she had with her parents
Because a minute feels like hours when you're talking to your parents?
In this scene where Hiro meets professor Callaghan. You can see professor's Callaghan shirt is blue, but when he reaches out it turns red and then it turns back to blue again. Why did that happen?
The red shirt Callaghan was in a different scene. Somebody in animation must have imported the wrong version for this shot.
In the movie they wrapped AnnaSophia's left arm in green tape to digitally remove it since you know a shark bit it off. But right here in the trailer you can see where they forgot to edit it out.
Trailers are often unfinished footage. Several special effects still need to be tweaked and sharpened. It's also why you can get scenes in trailers that don't even feature in the film itself - they were either done specifically for the trailer, or chosen for the trailer while the film is undergoing final editing.
In this scene, Hercules and Hades are in the underworld where they are able to see all of these souls and Hercules spots Meg. Hercules is then able to reach the water and try to grab Meg while he's on his knees. And then just a couple moments later, it zooms out and you can see that he's actually on the edge of a cliff and when he jumps off you see how high he actually was. So how was he able to reach a Meg while on his knees if he was actually that far away from the water?
It's been said before but the most unrealistic part of this movie was that Zeus was a family guy 😅😅😅
Zeus was a family guy. A very very very family guy
Load More Replies...Never heard of waterfalls, huh? Reached in at the top of the waterfall, then dived in to the bottom of the waterfall
This is a giant nothingburger. Hercules reached into the river, THEN moved over a little to see where it goes over the edge. He's not reaching into the bottom of the waterfall, he's reaching into the water BEFORE it goes over.
Disney should've known not to mess with Greek mythology, it's not exactly kid-friendly
In this scene they substituted the baby for a literal doll. And if you look closely, you can see Bradley Cooper moving the dolls hand with his thumb to make it appear more real. But this scene just ends up looking ridiculous.
EVERYONE spotted that one. It's been all over the internet since the film came out. It got mentioned on talk shows. Anyone who missed this wasn't watching the movie. Oh, wait, I haven't seen the movie and I'm still very much aware of this mistake.
that's where he also got this information. he probably just took a list of movie errors and made his own list
Load More Replies...A poor choice, not a mistake. The baby was sick that day but they the went ahead with the scene.
In this scene where a chariot gets knocked over. If you look really closely right here, when it falls over, you can see an air tank, which I'm 100% sure wasn't around back in the Roman times.
No it wasn't, the well known mistake in Ben Hur is that the actor is wearing a watch while riding a horse chariot. This is a 100% Gladiator, I've seen the mistake in the movie as well.
Load More Replies...In this scene, you can see Doc's son signaling his hand and then pointing at his private area. The little boy was signaling to the crew that he needed to go to the restroom, but it is so funny that this made the final movie in the original.
Oh my goodness, the guy pointing out all the mistakes made a mistake. Good catch Kristen
Load More Replies...In this scene, kids are hiding from some raptors in this kitchen. But when one of the raptors enters the room, you can see a hand of the crew member helping the raptor maintain its balance.
In this scene Riley is running through her living room. You can see a white cable running along the floor. But just moments later when we see the cable again, all of a sudden it's black. How does that make it past the editing team?
It's called a shadow. Now you know why CGI researchers are making such a big deal about "raytracing" and "global illumination" technology. Lighting problems like this wouldn't happen anymore when those techniques are used.
How did "make it pass the editing team" make it PAST your editing team?
And if you look at the table legs, in the second shot they are closer to the line on the rug
In this scene where Black Widow is fighting happy and takes him down. If you pay close attention to her face she becomes a completely different person
Let me tell you a secret: in risk scenes they don't use the actor/actress, it's another person hired as a stunt double... :-O
Here you can clearly see Flynn's wrists in shackles, but in the next scene, they magically disappear, and then they magically appear again. What's going on Disney?
There are weapons that are supposed to be made from iron and steel wobble just like rubber. It's a battle on horseback when they can clearly use this modern day car in the background. Later in the background of this scene, you can see this modern day man. Is he a time traveler?
Braveheart is full of errors, there is also a scene in which they are running towards the english and Mel's weapon change from axe to sword to nothing to sword and to axe again...
It's the guys from Life After People. They've finished all the episodes.
I think they did it on purpose. In this scene where Neo reaches out to open a door if you look in the reflection of the door handle, you can actually see a camera and the camera is even dressed in a suit and tie.
Have you ever tried to take a head-on close-up photo of a mirror without your reflection being in it at all? Of course the camera was gonna be in the shot. They did the simplest thing & disguised the camera as best they could. It didn't break immersion for me. It's not as if there was a film crew guy without a costume ruining the shot or anything.
Exactly. That wasn't a mistake, it was the best option IMO.
Load More Replies...Im not sure why they didn't digitally edit this out in post? Somewhat straightforward. Record the shot as they've done here and then have an artist digitally paint out the camera and then layer on top of the footage. I actually used to do this type of thing for a job lol
this is not a "mistake", it's obvious that the camera will be reflected but they tried to hide it the best they could, and since that scene is short you don't notice it at first.
Yeah - and now show us the ORIGINAL scene, not this picture where the colors and contrast are extremely enhanced to make the trick visible. In the movie, it is extremely hard to spot, even when you know about it.
In the movie 'Frozen' in this scene where Elsa is singing 'Let it go'. You can see that she lets down her hair and her braid jumps from behind her back to over her shoulder. But if you look closely, her hair went right through her arm.
In the movie 'Moana' in this scene, you can see little Moana walk up to this shell and leave behind footprints. But if you look closely in the next scene, the footprints are completely gone. And then in the scene after that they appear again.
In this scene where James Bond is sitting on his motorcycle there's an extra in the background sweeping the floor, but I'm not sure what he's sweeping since the broom is like two feet off of the ground.
On the scrubs rewatch podcast they say the janitor was often mopping because sweeping makes too much noise. Dude was probably told to sweep without brushing against the ground
My theory is that this might have been a sound issue. There'd be a boom operator holding a microphone above daniel's head. The broom guy is behind and the sound of the sweeping might have been picked up so they asked him to fake it.
No this isn't your theory. This is one of the most pointed out movie mistakes in articles and YouTube videos and the production team of the movie actually spoke out and explained it. You're just saying it's your theory to seem smart.
Load More Replies...In this scene Bourne supposed to disappear into the surrounding city and at first it looks like he does. But if you look closely when this little car passes him, you can see his bright red jacket and his feet as he tries to hide behind it
I think he was being a secretive spy and hiding behind a car and not completely evaporating.
No on this one. I cannot see any red, and those aren't feet not touching the ground but part of the vehicle underbody.
In the movie 'Teen Wolf' in this scene where a main character Scott makes a basketball shot to win the game. In the background of this scene, you can see an extra with his pants open. He quickly tries to cover with his jacket but you clearly notice.
I heard this was a lady who, after having to sit for hours in tight jeans while they did many takes while they filmed the scene, undid the button to feel more comfortable and she forgot about it when she stood up.
In the movie 'Frozen' in this scene where Ana and Christoph are falling you can see them tied together by a rope. But when they fall into the snow safely and they get up you see that they are not attached by the rope at all anymore. So Disney where did the rope go?
what's even more interesting is that in each of these movies, there's an obnoxious looking douchweezel pointing at random stuff...it's in every shot!!
And is getting shocked by movie mistakes very easily
Load More Replies...the "I'm shocked this was left in" and "I don't know how anyone didn't notice this" got a bit tiresome, esp when the short answer is movie processes are long and cost money. Imagine having to do that scene from Gladiator over again, trying to get it just right and perfect. It's hard! Hand drawn, CGI, live action, it takes a lot of money and sometimes it's easier to just leave small things in.
