10 Final End Credit Movie Mistakes You Never Noticed

2. Copy-Paste CGI Extras - Changeling

Brace yourself for truly one of the strangest and most fascinating mistakes in any movie's end credits ever, as was kindly submitted to us by a reader, Quinnlan Chapman, to share with you all.

As the end credits roll in Clint Eastwood's 2008 crime drama Changeling, Eastwood lingers on a view of the city streets for several minutes while life goes on.

The most keen-eyed viewers, however, might notice some peculiarities in the bottom-right corner of the frame.

For starters, a fedora-wearing extra walks down the street and out of camera shot, only to re-emerge from around the corner and repeat the exact same routine a few more times. A female extra then does the very same thing.

While it's relatively obvious that these two extras are digital models intended to add volume to the scene, it's pretty damn lazy to just copy-paste the exact same walking animation with no variations whatsoever and hope that audiences won't notice.
