10 More Movie Mistakes You Can’t Believe You Didn’t Spot
Visible crew members, vanishing weapons, and other movie mistakes you won't believe you missed.
As long as movies are created by living human beings and not AI algorithms, mistakes will always find a way to wiggle into the various features eventually thrown onto the big screen.
Often these little flaws and unintentional errors actually add a little bit of charm to the picture in question, with the visual of a crew member accidentally sneaking into frame or an actor being forced to deal with a clear mishap mid-scene bringing an equally unexpected smile to viewers' faces once they spot it.
Even if you've sat through many of the following movies countless times over the years, feel like you know them like the back of your hand, and often find yourself quoting everything from underwater sci-fi tales to fantasy epics, there's still a strong chance you've never noticed the following often comical and sometimes just rather strange errors staring you in the face.
So, with a big ol' salute to the eagle-eyed bunch over on r/MovieMistakes who originally caught all of these blunders in their Reddit nets, and as a hotly anticipated sequel to our last version of this very list (see above!), here are even more of those film mistakes you won't believe you missed.
10. The Camera Operator Wipes - The Abyss
Trying to shoot a movie that involves a lot of very real moving water can be a rather tricky experience.
On top of that liquid potentially damaging the equipment needed to get scenes in the can, there's also the risk of it splashing up over the lens of a camera and ruining a shot. And that's seemingly what happened whilst capturing one moment in James Cameron's tense underwater sci-fi movie The Abyss.
While there are some who understandably may have assumed the actors being blocked for a few seconds was little more than some objects hanging down from the roof during the moment Bud tries to make Lindsey put on their only diving suit as their mini-sub continues to let in water, that doesn't actually appear to be the case.
Instead, it looks like the camera operator was just wiping the lens of their equipment here, with Cameron probably just feeling this brief illusion-breaker wasn't noticeable enough to justify going back to reshoot an otherwise brilliantly intense take during this infamously gruelling production.
Honestly, though, Bud and Lindsey's chilly ordeal is so gripping that's it's tough to catch this little human error even when you're aware of its existence.
