Not every movie mistake can be the big flashy goof types that everyone notices: some are restricted to the enjoyment of experts on stable doors.

If you are of that inclination, you will have noticed that there are two scenes in Troy that show soldiers kicking stable doors in to open them. Unfortunately for the film-makers, all stable doors open outwards so that the animals can't block them if there's a fire. It's the same for all cultures.

But it's all intentional as the doors were flipped to get the dramatic shots without any concern for health and safety protocols.
