17 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2016 Movies

8. Phantom Text Message - London Has Fallen

The movie opens with terrorist Aamir Barkawi (Alon Moni Aboutboul) holding a wedding for his daughter, but a western agent has managed to infiltrate the soiree, and sends a text message reading, "BARKAWI ON SITE", mere moments before the area is bombed beyond recognition.

Look not-so-closely and you'll see that the message isn't being written to any recipient or phone number, and you can't even argue that the agent adds the contact after this shot, as the very next image shows him sending it.

Would it really have killed them to just add a random name in the top box? Or were they just assuming nobody who bothered to watch this film would actually notice something so lazy?
