10 Movie Mistakes Left In To Troll You

Perhaps the most WTF mistake in movie history occurs in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the villainous René Belloq (Paul Freeman) finds himself ambushed by a rocket launcher-totting Indy (Harrison Ford).

Just as Belloq quips, "You're gonna give mercenaries a bad name," a fly can be seen landing on his lip, which then appears to disappear inside his mouth without Belloq reacting in the slightest.

The implication, of course, is that Belloq is so freaking ice-cool he just ate the damn fly without even flinching, though in fact this most peculiar gaffe actually received a little post-production tweaking.

Ultimately, Steven Spielberg removed a few frames which showed the fly flying away, leaving viewers to presume that Belloq just swallowed it instead. Actor Paul Freeman said of the scene:

"I don't think anybody noticed it during the shoot, there wasn't any hilarity at that point in the film, and I think if you look at it carefully, if you freeze the frame around that point, you'll see that actually some frames are missing...I think they just took out a couple of frames when the fly flew off, just to make the joke. I got a very nice review from Pauline Kael who noted what a devoted actor I was to go through it, with eating the fly and all."

And so, we have a solution to one of the most unsettling and debated "mistakes" that blockbuster cinema has ever seen. Seriously.
