One of the latest films Quentin Tarantino released was “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Set around 1969, it revolves around the gruesome murders of Sharon Tate by the Manson cult.
However, viewers noticed a number of mistakes in the film when it came to the timing of items, such as California having numbered exit ramps, which didn’t happen in real life until all the way in 2002. They also pointed out that the Pussycat Theatre didn’t open until about five years after the film is set. Notably, they also pointed out that Starbucks wasn’t even founded until 1971, two years after the film takes place.
“Titanic”: Where Do You Want Me?
Seeing a beautiful woman undressing is enough to get any guy flustered. While Leonardo DiCaprio isn't your everyday man, even he is still human. Thus, during the scene in “Titanic” when Rose undresses so that Jack can paint her, he fumbles his line, saying “over by the bed,” before correcting himself and saying “the couch.” It was a real flub by DiCaprio.
The filmmakers found it funny and kept it in the final cut of the movie. Just like, you know, everything else, it humanizes Jack a little bit, telling us he can get nervous too.
“Django Unchained”: The Cut
Leonardo DiCaprio has been in what feels like a hundred movies, which means we're bound to get some mistakes from him. This one is a little bit shocking – when he slams his hand down on a table during one scene in “Django Unchained,” he breaks a glass and cuts his hand. A real cut that is leaking real blood.
He managed to stay in character during it all and finish the scene. Director Tarantino liked the take so much it stayed in. Thankfully, later on, when Leo smears blood on Kerry Washington's face, they used fake blood.
“Poltergeist”: What is She Saying?
If you saw “Poltergeist” in theaters, then you can probably recall some of the most famous scenes still. The top of the list of memorable ones is most likely when young Heather O'Rourke's character, Carol-Ann, turning to the camera and saying “They're he-ere.”
It's creepy, it's wonderful, and it will send a chill down your spine. Watch closely, however, and you'll see that the character's mouth doesn't exactly line up to what she's saying. It looks more like she's saying, “They're all here,” and the actress dubbed herself over later on.
“The Wizard of Oz”: Plain Black Slippers
There are a number of things that are iconic about “The Wizard of Oz.” One of them is what Dorothy is wearing, from her gingham dress to her twin pigtails to her red slippers. But during one scene, she seems to have left the latter at home.
While the trees are pelting Dorothy and the Scarecrow with apples, it's possible to catch a glimpse of Judy Garland wearing plain black shoes instead of the red flats she's supposed to have. Whether it was because of the introduction of color or just lax filmmaking standards compared to now, it happened.
