Movie Bloopers
Most people love movies. They love to sit in the dark theater, sulk down, and immerse themselves in what they see on the screen. The writers, directors, cast, and crew work hard on the films that they are putting out there. Unfortunately, people aren’t always paying close attention. There have been some pretty apparent movie bloopers in the final cut, that nobody noticed until the movie was released to the audience.
Pulp Fiction
Quentin Tarantino’s pulp fiction is one of the most memorable movies of the 90s. One of the most memorable scenes was when Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield recited Ezekiel 25:17. When he is done reciting the speech, Jules dodges a bullet. The problem with the film was that there was already a bullet hole behind him before the first shot was fired.
La La Land
La La Land is one of the most popular musicals of the 20th century. In the opening scene, dozens of dancers are dancing on cars stuck in traffic. You would think that the roofs of the cars would be dented while they danced, but if you look closely, the roofs are already dented when they start, movie bloopers isn’t it.
American Sniper
The 2014 film, American Sniper, is a film about a cold and calculated soldier with a warm side. In the scene where Bradley Cooper is feeding a baby, it is clear that the baby is plastic and the bottle is fake. According to reports, the real baby that was cast in the film came down with the fever, and the replacement didn’t show up. They had no choice but to use a fake baby.
Clueless
Clueless is one of the most popular films of the 90s. In the movie, Alicia Silverstone’s character, Cher, was taking the test for her driver’s license. During the test, she hits another car. People who played close attention noticed that the mirror on the car she hit was already smashed before she even hit it.
Jaws
When Jaws came out in 1975, people’s fear of sharks in the ocean became much more intense. Trips to the beach were never the same after Jaws was released. Obviously, director Steven Spielberg couldn’t use real sharks, so they built mechanical sharks. There were points in the film that it was very obvious that the sharks were real, but you had to look really close to see the mechanics.
Titanic
James Cameron’s 1997 film, Titanic, was one of the highest-grossing films of all time. While people loved the movie, there was one part that made them angry. At the end of the film, Rose is lying on a door floating in the freezing ocean, and Jack held on to the side and froze to death. The audience saw that the door was clearly big enough for them both to rest on, which would have saved Jack’s life. They should have used something smaller to make it more realistic.
Grease
Grease was set in the ’50s and was released in 1978. During the slumber party scene, Olivia Newton John’s character, Sandy, wanted the other girls to think that she was tough. She started chugging wine from a bottle and passed it on. Just a second later, Sandy has the bottle again. How did that happen?
The Goonies
The 1985 adventure film, The Goonies was great. When the kids finally get out of the cave, the media is there to interview them. There is a point in the film where Data tells the reporter about fighting an octopus, which confused the audience. People didn’t remember an octopus in the film. It was later explained that there was a scene with an octopus, but it was deleted from the final cut. They just forgot to edit that part of Data’s interview out.
Independence Day
In the film Independence Day, aliens come to Earth to take over. They attack the White House, and the special effects were amazing. There was a problem when they took down the Empire State Building. They destroyed a building on 53rd Street, but the Empire State Building is located on 34th and 5th. The 53rd Street location is the Museum of Modern Art.
Forest Gump
Forest Gump is one of the greatest films of all time. The film does contain one inconsistency. Forest’s former military commander invests some of their profits from Bubba Gump Shrimp into Apple. The letter the Forest gets from Apple was dated 1975. In real life, Apple didn’t start publicly trading until 1981.
Pretty Woman
Every girl wanted to be Julia Roberts after Pretty Woman came out. No One Noticed This Giant Blooper in This Iconic ‘Pretty Woman Scene’ – Until Now And Other Movie Bloopers. In the scene where Julia Roberts’ character, Vivian has her first real conversation with Richard Gere’ character, Edward, she is eating a croissant. The camera moves to Gere, then quickly back to Roberts, and suddenly, she is holding a pancake.
