West Side Story (1961)

West Side Story mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: For dramatic and cinematic purposes, the floor of the court where the last scene takes place is wet, as opposed to the circle where Tony dies.

Fast X (2023)

Deliberate mistake: A car plummeting 10 metres off from a plane, landing on two cars as if they were a pair of soft gymnastics pit mats, just to keep on driving without a single scratch - let alone a mechanical breakdown or the blowing up of a tyre - defies all laws of physics and common sense.

Red Sonja (1985)

Deliberate mistake: When Kalidor beheads a warrior and when Sonja beheads the wizard, both heads don't fall sideways as they should, but instead fly upwards, revealing they were tossed by someone offscreen - which looks more impressive, indeed.

Batman Returns (1992)

Deliberate mistake: After Batman destroys The Penguin's controlling system and breaks the TV screen he is 4 meters away from a narrow alley. Shot changes and he's now downtown driving around the city, Then there's a POV shot of him driving towards the narrow alley again, though he is now many meters behind. Then back to shots of him driving downtown until he finally arrives at the narrow alley. It adds up for pace, but it's very awkward indeed.

Uncharted (2022)

Deliberate mistake: The baddies somehow manage to place the net under the two humongous ships by simply digging with their shovels in a matter of minutes, when they would need a bulldozer and several hours instead.

Uncharted (2022)

Deliberate mistake: The whole airplane scene with the heavy cargo flying away and hitting the heroes without harming them plus them jumping and standing on the flying cargo defies the laws of gravity, physics and common sense.

West Side Story (2021)

West Side Story mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: When the gangs meet in the toilets to set a date for the brawl, the mirror on the left is the only one opaque, most surely to avoid reflections of the filming crew.

The Jungle Book (1967)

The Jungle Book mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: When Baloo lies unconscious, the tree behind has barely no leaves on its branches. When he wakes up and the sun shines, leaves suddenly appear.

Deliberate mistake: When the kids are about to jump start the trap Phoebe hides behind the school bus door. Half a second later, when the trap opens, she's nowhere to be seen, not even jumping or stepping inside the bus. Then half a second later she has managed to get inside, turn around and protect her head while the bus windows burst. It all happens in real time for their hairs are still fluttering. It sure paces up the scene, but it's really awkward.

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)

Deliberate mistake: After jumping off the cliff, Dom and Letty's car rolls over violently several times and finally lands on its wheels. Letty sits calmly, safe and sound, not a single scratch or bruise despite not wearing her seatbelt and having survived by just grasping the handlebar above her head.

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)

Deliberate mistake: During the chase with the mega magnet that attracts humongous armored trucks and all metal objects, surprisingly the people's watches, rings, jewelry, keys or belts don't move a single inch, thus allowing everyone to remain steadily on the ground instead of flying towards Dom's magnetized car. This allows for the hero to avoid killing innocent people, but it's all totally senseless.

Soul (2020)

Soul mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: In the Spanish release, the name of the family store is written in Spanish, but inside the place it's in English everywhere. This is a very common mistake in foreign kids' films released in Spain.

Deliberate mistake: For the sake of the movie's plot and tempo, all the guests manage to breathe and stroll around quite calmly for several minutes despite the heavy smoke, when in real life they would be blinded and choking.

Sex and the City (1998)

Deliberate mistake: When Alice is about to meet the queen she hides the brush covered in red paint under her dress. The brush later disappears plus Alice doesn't have any stains on her clothes.

Howard the Duck (1986)

Deliberate mistake: When the Darlings discover the dead rat, they raise the curtain and cry out loud, but the rat is nowhere to be seen. Given Disney's long time history of refusals to show dead bodies or blood, it's highly possible that this was a deliberate mistake, but really awkward indeed.

Peter Pan (1953)

Deliberate mistake: During the first aerial angle of the pirate ship they are heard singing, but the ship is empty. Most surely due to the complexity of drawing detailed tiny pirates.

Peter Pan (1953)

Deliberate mistake: When the kids are in the crow's nest fighting the pirates, dozens of stones and arrows fly out of nowhere, despite the kids just having a handful. Check for the kid with the blowpipe: He manages to blow dozens of rocks out of nowhere. There's even a shot where arrows and stones are flying from all over the place despite the fact that a shot later the kids are crouching.
