10 Movie Mistakes That Made Films Better
2. Guardians Of The Galaxy - Starlord's Clumsiness
Chris Pratt solidified himself as a true superhero when he took on the role of Peter Quill, otherwise known as Star Lord in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy. He was no longer the silly, overweight funny-man from Parks & Recreation... well, he wasn't overweight anyways. Pratt toned up, but kept his comedic attitude and made Quill something of a goofy and lovable space pirate.
In the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, Quill begins his adventure by finding an artifact, which turns out to be an Infinity Stone, also known as one of the most dangerous and powerful items in all the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
You would think that such a device would hold the reverence of the characters, but when the Collector asks for the stone, Quill does something that is so true to character and funny, it's surprising to learn the whole thing was an accident.
In true Star Lord fashion, just as he is about to hand over the most powerful thing in the whole universe, Quill drops the stone and quickly recovers it. That scene was an accident and Pratt truly did drop the prop. They shot several takes, but the one that made it to the final cut of the film showing the gaff was arguably the best of them all.
