15 Things You Somehow Missed In Oppenheimer

5. The Magic Tram

Much as Oppenheimer's production design and general attention to detail are nothing short of phenomenal, there is a pretty hilarious error when we see Oppenheimer heading to Jean's hotel.

As he exits a cab and heads into the hotel, a tram can be seen passing behind him. At a momentarily glance it looks perfect, except if you look down at the street once the tram has passed, for a few seconds it's clear that there are no tram lines on the road at all.

Obviously this mistake occurred because the shooting location didn't have tram lines, and so a prop car with wheels was simply used instead, with Nolan seemingly having little interest in having the tram lines added in post.

If the cars along the street had been arranged just a little differently, though, this would've been a lot tougher to spot.
