10 Hilarious Mistakes You Can't Unsee On Official Movie Posters

6. Dragonheart: A New Beginning (2000)

Dragonheart: A New Beginning is the direct-to-DVD sequel to 1996's Dragonheart - a high-profile, big-budget, star-studded fantasy epic.

The sequel, on the other hand, was none of those things. Nobody has heard of it, its budget was less than half what the original had, and none of the stars - Sean Connery, David Thewlis, Dennis Quaid - reprised their roles.

This downgrade in quality can also be gleaned from the film's poster, which, even without the following mistake, looks cheap and cheesy.

But forget all that for a second, and take a look at the hands holding the sword. Notice anything funny? Count the fingers and work your way up.

Everything adds up on the bottom hand, with four fingers present and a thumb wrapped round the back, but the second hand is missing a pinky - there are only three fingers and a thumb, with the little finger being omitted entirely.

It's hard to say why this happened. If there wasn't any room to slot it in, why not move the bottom hand down a bit to create some space? Instead, they've just gone "ah, f**k it", and hoped nobody would notice.

Well, we noticed Mr. Poster Man. We noticed.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
