Weird And Wonderful Movie Mistakes That Made The Films Better Than Their Scripts

We all make mistakes, right? Everybody’s human. But if you work in Hollywood, your booboos could be up there on the big screen for millions to see... and laugh about. It’s probably pretty embarrassing for the people who are supposed to spot this kind of stuff! But for the fortunate few, some movie mistakes actually make the scenes better than what was written in the final scripts. So taking in everything from a breathing mummy in The Mummy to J.Lo’s incredible Anaconda tank top, here’s a look at the movie bloopers you’ll be thankful made the final edits...

42. The croissant turning into a pancake in Pretty Woman

Food and drink are notoriously tricky to deal with when it comes to film continuity. This explains why a full wine glass will often turn into a near-empty one on screen, or why a half-eaten sandwich will return to its original state in the blink of an eye. But it’s rare for a foodstuff to change completely. That’s what happens in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts is seen enjoying a croissant that somehow becomes a pancake in a matter of seconds.

41. The changing shrimp cocktail in Ocean’s Eleven

The early 2000s Ocean’s Eleven remake sees the gang pull off one of Hollywood’s most entertaining heists. But just as impressive is the crockery-based magic trick that Brad Pitt’s Rusty conjures up. At first, the character is seen tucking into one of the Bellagio’s shrimp cocktails from a glass. When the angle changes, however, Rusty’s picking up his shrimps from a plate instead. Nice sleight of hand!

40. The typo in The Dark Knight Rises

Seems like The Gotham Times is in serious need of a new copy editor. In the final part of Christopher Nolan’s Caped Crusader trilogy The Dark Knight Rises, Batman reads a newspaper with a front-page story about a havoc-wreaking cat burglar. But the accompanying headline somehow misspells the word “heist.” We like to think that the superhero powered up the Batmobile and traveled to the newspaper’s offices to have a stern word.

39. The Lamborghini poster in Dallas Buyers Club

You’d have to be a bit of a petrolhead to recognize this anachronistic error from Oscar favorite Dallas Buyers Club. Behind Ron Woodroof’s desk, there’s a poster of a Lamborghini Aventador – a supercar that only went into production in 2011. The hard-hitting AIDS drama is, of course, set in the 1980s.
