Another mistake from the extensive trilogy that makes up Peter Jackson’s opus. In “The Two Towers,” when Éomer first meets Aragorn on the plains of Rohan, he dismounts to speak with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. Once the discussion ends, Éomer jumps back onto his horse, dropping his sword in the process.
It’s hard to see if you aren’t looking for it, but keep your eyes open during the scene, and you’ll see Éomer lose his weapon. Not a good look for a leader of this band from Rohan, even if he is currently exiled.
“Bad Boys”: That's a Cameraman
Before Michael Bay started blowing up Miami, a movie of the same name showed us Sean Penn being sent to reform school after accidentally killing a rival criminal's kid brother.
During the movie, there are plenty of fights and dangerous moments, and during one such tussle, it's pretty easy to see...a cameraman in the shot and clearly not part of the actual cast. Just doing his thing as a cameraman. Your guess is as good as ours as to how this shot stayed in the film when it so easily will take anyone watching out of the film and make them laugh in derision.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers”: Disappearing Handcuffs
Merry and Pippin have been captured by the Uruk-Hai and are being schlepped to Isengard. Their situation has never been direr. That's what they think, at least, until a band of horsemen attacks the Uruks during the night, turning the place into a slaughter.
Merry and Pippin try to slip away, bound by the hand. Except that Pippin's hands come unbound for no reason during his furious escape, only for the restraints to appear again a moment later. No doubt, keeping track of everything during such a hectic scene proved difficult.
“Braveheart”: A Strange Metal Beast
While watching “Braveheart,” we're witness to numerous historical inaccuracies, such as kilts or the timeline of events, but those were decisions made by the filmmakers. One thing that is pure accident, however, is the gray sedan visible in the background of one shot during a big battle scene.
As horses charge, if you're eagle-eyed enough, you can spot a glimpse of what is clearly just a normal car, very much out of place during the thirteenth century, when the film is set. It only appears once, but that was enough to get people giggling – if they had seen it, that is.
“The Dark Knight Rises”: What Time is It?
During the intense stock market scene in the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the scene clearly takes place during the day. Yet while Batman is chasing the bad guys – and being chased by the police himself – through a tunnel, the sun falls faster than it ever has before.
It's suddenly a dark night (ha), which, while it does make for a more fun scene, the time change can be jarring. Even worse, at the beginning of the stock market scene, it looks as if the stock market had just opened for the day.
