10 Movie Mistakes You'll Never Unsee
You'll never look at these movies quite the same way again.
Mistakes are simply a part of movies, because even the very best film employs the work of so many disciplines and departments, that it's just not possible to co-ordinate them flawlessly.
And for the most part, movie mistakes are something you might fleetingly chuckle at and then forget about. Yet every so often, a mistake will prove egregious enough to lodge itself in your brain and become apparent every single time you watch the movie from that point on.
So here's an apology in advance for ensuring you'll never be able to un-see these movie mistakes or, as a result, watch these films quite the same way ever again.
From ultra-revealing gaffes that hilariously strip the Hollywood magic away, to completely bizarre errors that make no damn sense at all, and everything else in-between, these mistakes - revealed courtesy of the fine folk at /r/MovieMistakes - will forever change how you see these films.
If nothing else, considering how beloved most of these movies are, they're at least proof perfect that the general public is more than willing to overlook filmmaking "eccentricities" if the real substance is entertaining enough...
10. John McClane Isn't Really Barefoot - Die Hard
One of the most memorable aspects of John McClane's (Bruce Willis) one-man crusade against Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his terrorist outfit in Die Hard is that McClane does the whole damn thing barefoot.
Yet pay close attention during the climax, when McClane discharges a machine gun on the Nakatomi Plaza's roof and FBI agents Johnson and Johnson (no relation) open fire upon him, and you might notice something most peculiar indeed.
After McClane leaps down to a lower level of the roof and shouts, "I'm on your side, you a**holes!," for a brief moment we can see that Bruce Willis isn't actually barefoot, but wearing a thin, flesh-coloured shoe over his feet. The shoe's seam is blatantly visible below his pant leg.
This was obviously done for practical reasons, given the safety concerns of having Willis actually running around performing stunts in his bare feet.
These fleshy shoes are perhaps best associated with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, where the Hobbit actors all wore similarly rubber-y shoes intended to resemble actual feet throughout the shoot.
