10 More Movies That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Supposed To See

10. A Crew Member In Jeans - Gladiator

Arguably, the most famous mistake in Ridley Scott's Gladiator is the one that never actually existed. It became commonly believed that there could be a plane seen above Russell Crowe's head at a certain point during the film, though this was never actually the case. That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't any glaring mistakes to be found at all.

Even seeing the gas canister underneath a capsized chariot doesn't take the cake when it comes to accidental inclusions in the winner of Best Picture at the 73rd Academy Awards. No, this honour goes to a certain cameraman who sticks out like a sore thumb.

Naturally, while the characters on screen were dressed to bring the illusion of Ancient Rome to life, those working behind the scenes would have made no such effort. They were supposed to stay behind the scenes after all, but when a cameraman, and his camera, did make it into the shot, it became too obvious to ignore.

Just after Maximus Decimus Meridius (Crowe) utters his most iconic line, asking the audience if they are not entertained, to the left side of the screen a crew member in a white t-shirt and jeans can be spotted, completely shattering the movie's illusion. Ironically, this is just one frame removed from where the phantom plane supposedly flew overhead.
