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.
“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”: The Wrong Coffee
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.
“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.
“Spider-Man: Far From Home”: No Buses Allowed
In the second Spider-Man movie that is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peter Parker and the other students from New York travel across the pond to Venice for a trip, which gets Parker involved in another superhero story. At the end of the story, after everything – or most things – have been resolved, Parker and the rest of the students pile onto a bus to head to the airport.
The only problem is, buses, and really any motor vehicles, aren't allowed in Venice. Due to the weight of the city sinking into the soft mud it was built on, some things had to stay away.
“The Last Samurai”: Ouch
There are lots of horses all over the place in “The Last Samurai,” and as every actor or actress knows, animals of any kind will make filming a movie more difficult and even dangerous. One poor extra knows this even more than most.
At one point during the middle of the film, Tom Cruise's character rides his horse into a group of soldiers who are standing at attention. As Cruise dismounts, the horse kicks backward, catching the poor extra right between the legs. Like...RIGHT between the legs. Thanks to the armor he was wearing, he manages to stay in character and props to him.
