10 Awesome Movie Scenes With Mistakes You Never Noticed

Early on in Martin Scorsese's 2006 crime thriller hit The Departed, Jack Nicholson's Frank Costello meets a young Colin Sullivan for the very first time. He then ultimately convinces the lad to come and see him if he wants to earn a little extra cash.

Sure enough, the kid does exactly that, with Nicholson eventually delivering a typically captivating piece of advice to the youngster about there being no difference between a cop or criminal when you're faced with a loaded gun.

And with all the attention being firmly on this unsettling piece of dialogue as the mob boss wanders towards the impressionable kid, it's easy to miss a pretty glaring mistake during that very sequence.

Costello is holding a cigarette in his mouth as he initially delivers that line about cops and criminals to the soon-to-be spy, only for said smoke to oddly be nowhere to be seen when the shot changes to one of him from the front as he asks Sullivan "what's the difference?"

Scorsese should have probably offered his continuity person that very same question before they wrapped up this particularly awesome prologue...
