10 More Movie Mistakes Directors Refused To Fix Because The Acting Was Too Good
2. Star Lord Drops The Orb - Guardians Of The Galaxy
He might be a Guardian of the Galaxy, but Peter Quill, aka Star Lord, is also a Goofball of the Galaxy.
Quill's bumbling, pseudo-macho persona is what endeared him to a lot of fans in his first appearance back in 2014. Played by the versatile Chris Pratt, the half-Celestial is as famous for his slip-ups as he is his heroics.
Perhaps this is best shown during a the scene where the Guardians drop off the mysterious Orb to The Collector on Knowhere. As he about to hand over the sphere, Star Lord fumbles it, nearly letting it hit the ground before catching it.
It's a great moment, fitting in nicely with the comedy this movie is known for. It was also not meant to happen.
Pratt legitimately dropped the Orb during this scene, but kept in character and played it off as intentional. It's a fantastic piece of improv from the actor and it shows that he really understood the assignment when it came to Star Lord.
Wonder what caused him to nearly drop the Orb? Well, The Collector was played by Benicio del Toro, so maybe it was another fart.
