10 Movie Scenes Everyone Always Gets Wrong

9. Jango Fett's Head Flies Out Of The Helmet - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones

Ever since the release of Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones, fans have speculated about the scene where Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) parts Jango Fett's (Temuera Morrison) head from his body with a swift slash of his purple lightsaber.

Moments later we see a young Boba Fett (Daniel Logan) pick up his "father's" helmet, causing many to note an apparent mistake, given that Jango's head should still be within the helmet.

Though the "gaffe" resulted in this hilarious R-rated fan edit, it's also easily resolved if you actually just pay attention to the scene: when Windu delivers the killing blow, there's a fleeting shot where the shadow of the helmet can be seen as it flies through the air.

You might also notice a second shadow, which is clearly Jango's decapitated head flying out of the helmet, ensuring that Boba doesn't get an added grisly surprise when he picks it up.

Still a disturbing scene, mind, but not quite as unsettling nor as mistake-laden as fans seem to think it is.
