6 Movie Mistakes Spotted Before Release

4. The Vanishing Necklace (Spider-Man: No Way Home)

The build-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home was absolutely nuts, in the best way possible. With pop-culture fans having gone two-plus years without a cinematic event on this scale, the hunger for Tom Holland's third solo Spidey outing was huge, largely fuelled by speculation that a few other webslingers might be joining him.

Unsurprisingly then, its trailers were picked apart to a degree we hadn't seen since Avengers: Endgame, which led to fans uncovering all kinds of weird stuff.

There was the infamous "Lizard punch" spotted in an international version of the second trailer, and some fans even thought they could see a disembodied arm in the corner of another shot. Elsewhere, a genuine continuity error was noticed, revolving around the necklace worn - or rather, not worn - by MJ.

At the very end of Spider-Man: Far From Home - during the scene where Spidey's true identity is revealed - MJ is clearly not wearing the broken Black Dahlia necklace given to her by Peter earlier in the movie (see the image above).

However, as people noticed when No Way Home's opening scene was released the week before it hit cinemas, MJ suddenly had the necklace on.

Considering that No Way Home picks up right where Far From Home left off, this was a clear - though admittedly minor - continuity mistake.

The two versions of this scene were obviously shot years apart, so it's not really a surprise that certain details were accidentally missed by the filmmakers!
