10 More Movies That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Supposed To See

When you think of Christmas movies, typically the same classics come to mind straight away. Everyone has their own personal favourites, but Christmas with the Kranks is rarely held in the same regard as the likes of Chuck Jones' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, and others.

It's not particularly bad by any stretch, but not exactly all that memorable either. However, there is one moment that once seen, can never be forgotten, and can never go unnoticed again.

The events of the film revolve around the titular Kranks deciding to skip Christmas since their daughter is away, only to discover over the course of the story what a bad idea it is. At one point, Tim Allen's Luther Krank tries to frantically decorate his house, only to get stuck and have the fire department come out and rescue him.

As the firefighters arrive at around 2:19 in the above video, one unfortunate extra gets clattered by the trailing end of a ladder being taken off the truck. No one on screen pays any mind to it, while the actor himself continues as if nothing happened, but once you know to look for it, it becomes impossible to watch the scene normally ever again.
