6 Movie Mistakes Spotted Before Release

5. The Green LEGO Is A Lie (It: Chapter One)

Some movie mistakes don't just rock film fandom, they rock the entire planet. No, seriously. This was the case in 2017, when LEGO fans the world over started rioting in the streets after discovering a blunder in the main trailer for It: Chapter One.

In said trailer, there's a quick shot where lead character Bill drops a LEGO set on the floor after being startled by a vision of his dead brother, Georgie. This set featured several 2x2 slopes in lime green, but as pointed out by LEGO superfan Nathan Wells, this piece wasn't released until 2010, whereas the movie was set in 1989.

Acknowledging the fact that the film was now a complete disaster and could no longer be released under any circumstances, producer Seth Grahame-Smith responded to the controversy with "we're cancelling the release until further notice", which, of course, never happened. The bloody liar!

Fortunately, such a calamitous error didn't drag down the movie's reception, and it was a critical and box-office smash upon its release less than two months later.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
