10 Movie Mistakes Left In To Troll You

10. The Stormtrooper Hits His Head - Star Wars: A New Hope

Is there any movie mistake more legendary than the hilariously clumsy Stromtrooper from the very first Star Wars movie?

As a trio of Stormtroopers enter the Death Star's control room while Luke (Mark Hamill) and co. face off against the trash compactor, the Stormtrooper on the right smacks his head on the room's low-hanging door.

Though many fans might've missed it on their first viewing, over the last 40-something years it's endured as one of the most outrageously entertaining gaffes in cinema history, and one which has seen fans obsessively debate its nature ever since.

While George Lucas himself has rarely talked about the mistake, Stormtrooper actor Laurie Goode revealed in recent years that his coordination error was the result of an upset stomach, and he was shocked to see the flub take actually used in the final film.

Lucas seemingly enjoyed the mistake enough that he even amped up the "thunk" sound effect for later releases of A New Hope, and even included an hilarious nod to it in Attack of the Clones when Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) hit his head on a ship door.
