9 Baffling Horror Movie Mistakes You Never Noticed

5. The Trampoline - Dawn Of The Dead

As influential as George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is, its successor, Dawn of the Dead, is considered better in every way. This sequel is darker, funnier, more creative, and more gruesome. Even though many great films revolving around the undead have come and gone like Train to Busan, Zombieland, and Shaun of the Dead, this horror classic is still regarded as the best zombie film of all time.

But that doesn't mean Dawn of the Dead is flawless. About a minute after Roger says the iconic line, 'We got this by the ass,' there's a shot where he smashes his truck into a zombie, hurling him into the air.

But if you look to the right of the airborne zombie, you'll spot a black-and-blue trampoline, which was obviously used to launch the actor upward. It only appears for a few frames but its bright colour and the fact that it takes up a sizeable portion of the screen makes it stick out like a sore thumb. Sadly, once you notice it, you can never unsee it, which kind of ruins this scene.
