Even the movies we love the most have their flaws. Did you notice these surprising movie mistakes that made it past the final cut?

The Sound Of Music

This famous 1965 musical film is based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, following a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, who is sent to be a governess for the children of a retired navy officer. The von Trapp family hikes over the Alps from Austria to Switzerland to escape the Nazis—but Salzburg, which borders Germany, is over 200 miles from Switzerland.

Titanic

Leonardo DiCaprio plays the handsome deuteragonist, Jack, in this James Cameron romance. At one point, Jack mentions fishing with his father on Lake Wissota, but Lake Wissota was formed by the construction of the Wissota Hydroelectric Dam on the Chippewa River in 1917... almost five years after the famous ship sank. 

Forrest Gump

Tom Hanks plays the titular character in this classic 1994 film. When Gump and his partner, Lieutenant Dan, invested proceeds some shrimp sales in "some kind of fruit company," they were referring to Apple Inc. In the film, Apple sends Gump a letter applauding him on his investment which is dated 1975—but Apple wasn't publicly traded until 1981.

Top Gun

Tom Cruise plays LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a U.S. Navy pilot, in 1986's Top Gun. Maverick is known for flying with abandon, and the above scene is no exception. In reality, the back wings of these jets would have collided, causing both planes to crash.

Independence Day

This epic shot may have been memorable to you, except there's one major problem... the Empire State Building is on a street corner, meaning that it never could have been framed like this. Of course, the whole place bursting into blames in the midst of an alien invasion isn't exactly true to detail, either.

Cast Away

The contents of the FedEx packages that washed up on shore in Cast Away saved Tom Hanks' life. Strangely, the FedEx boxes are in remarkably good shape. After floating in the ocean for a period of time, it's safe to say that the flimsy cardboard packaging would be severely damaged, if not destroyed.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie famously began their romance on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, much to Jennifer Aniston's chagrin. Pitt and Jolie play John and Jane, a couple with some serious secrets behind the scenes. Though Mr. and Mrs. Smith is supposed to take place in Westchester, New York, one particular scene makes it obvious that the movie was filmed was in Los Angeles.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

There has been much debate regarding the significance of the apple scene in Pirates of the Caribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Captain Barbossa once had an appreciation for green apples until a curse caused them to turn to ash in his mouth. The series took place in the eighteenth century, but Granny Smith apples weren't popularized until 1868.

Schindler’s List

Schindler's List follows Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, an industralist who slowly becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce during World War II. In the film, papers are stamped with a plastic pad, but metal stamp pads were the norm at the time.

The Goonies

When the Goonies discover the skeleton of Chester Copperpot, they identify his corpse from the information in his wallet, which included a 1973 Topps baseball card of Lou Gherig. However, this doesn't add up, considering Copperpot's body was said to have been there since 1930.

Sherlock Holmes

Robert Downey Jr. plays the famous character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 2009's Sherlock Holmes. When Holmes pursues Adler from Parliament all the way to the top of Tower Bridge, it's an impressive feat, and not just because Holmes was forced to navigate the London Sewers—these locations are actually several miles apart.

Saving Private Ryan

Tom Hanks played Captain John H. Miller, a U.S. Army Rangers Captain leading a squad on a rescue mission to save the last survivor brother of a family of four. After he is drastically injured, Miller can be seen leaning up against a motorcycle. This particular motorcycle model was not produced until 1963, 20 years after the film takes place.

Public Enemies

This 2009 biographical crime drama follows bank robber John Dillinger as he is pursued by the FBI during the Great Depression. Although both Pretty Boy Floyd and Babe Face Nelson die before John Dillinger in film, in real life, both men actually outlived him.

Back to the Future

In Back to the Future, the DeLorean time machine requires 1.21 gigawatts of power while traveling 88 miles per hour in order to initiate time travel. However, the license plate reads "OUTATIME," which is one character more than permitted by the state of California. Try explaining that to the intergalactic time-space police.

Troy

This adaptation of Homer's great Trojan War epic is set in 1250 B.C. One scene depicts Orlando Bloom, playing the character of Paris, as he rides through the town on a chariot with a dainty pink parasol. Unfortunately, parasols were first invented 800 years after Troy took place.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Hobbits are supposed to be much shorter than elves. For the most part, this was consistent in the film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's timeless classic. In this scene, it is apparent Merry and Pippin are the same height as Frodo and Sam, even after drinking ent-draught.

Pulp Fiction

Certainly not for the faint of heart, one of Pulp Fiction's most famous scenes is the revival of Mia Wallace after an accidental overdose. However, a red dot is visible on her chest before John Travolta's character injects her with the adrenaline. The dot was meant to be used as a marker, and it disappears after she is resuscitated.

Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind is likely the only movie that inspired a type of parlor lamp. Though the classic story is set during the Civil War, one scene depicts a lamp in what is now known as the "Gone With the Wind" style. Ironically, these lamps were invented long after that era had passed.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there is a scene in which Dr. Jones rushes to save his father's book from being burned. However, this is not historically accurate. The movie is set in 1938, but in reality, the book burnings took place five years earlier.

Dirty Dancing

There's no doubt that while Patrick Swayze had every girl in the room swooning with his performance in Dirty Dancing. During a scene where the car is clearly meant to be moving, there's a brief shot of the gearshift, which is stuck firmly in the "park" position. Even if he can move his body like a god, no man on earth can drive a parked car.

Panic Room

In 2002's Panic Room, the intruders flood the panic room with propane, but Jody Foster's character uses a lighter to ignite the propane, causing it to burn along the ceiling. Realistically, this would have been impossible, since propane is heavier than air.

Halloween

Halloween is set in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Despite this, in some scenes, you can see palm trees in the background! What kind of midwestern small town has the terrain to accommodate palm trees?

The Passion of the Christ

In Mel Gibson's 2004 biblical drama The Passion of the Christ, Jesus is portrayed by white actor Jim Caviezel. Historically, Jesus would most likely have been Middle Eastern, not white.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

This classic 1994 comedy stars Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura, an animal detective tasked with locating the abducted mascot of the Miami Dolphins football team. In the film, the stolen dolphin makes noise outside of the water, but in real life, that wouldn't be possible. Dolphins can only produce "clicks" and "burst-pulse" sounds when underwater.

Braveheart

In Braveheart, medieval Scottish patriot William Wallace is often seen sporting a kilt. The Mel Gibson-directed flick is set in the year 1300, but kilts weren't even introduced until the sixteenth century. Whoops!

The Hurt Locker

In The Hurt Locker, one of the soldiers mentions uploading a video to YouTube, which was launched in 2004. The movie is supposed to take place the following year in 2005.

Gladiator

Among the Gladiator bluffs was this poorly-hidden gas canister tucked in the back of an overturned chariot. If you didn't know, horse-drawn chariots from 180 a.d. did not rely on gas power for an extra boost.

Dallas Buyers Club

This 2013 film won Matt McConaughey an Oscar. McConaughey portrays Ron Woodruff, a man living with AIDS and fighting the FDA for fair treatment. Although the Lamborghini Aventador wasn't invented until 2011, one can be seen on a poster behind Woodruff in the film.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was the third installment of the epic fantasy swashbuckler franchise. The characters travel to Singapore to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker, but Singapore was first established in 1819. The Pirates of the Caribbean series is said to have taken place between 1720 and 1750.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

When Indiana Jones discovers the treasure in Raiders of the Lost Ark, he is illuminated in golden light. If Jones is in the depths of a temple buried deep in the forest, why does there appear to be some sort of hole in the ceiling? Couldn't he have leapt through it rather than evading tons of traps to get to the golden idol?

The Green Mile

If you're in the mood for a tear-jerker, look no further than The Green Mile. There are a number of shocking, gruesome, and heart-wrenching execution scenes that take place in the electric chair. However, the electric chair was invented in 1940, five years after the film was set.

Spider-Man 3

The third installment in the original Spider-Man franchise could have used a better location scout. The story of Spider-Man is famously set in New York City, but fans noted the Terminal Tower in the background, which is located in Cleveland, Ohio. Critics called it the weakest film of the trilogy for a reason.

Gladiator

Russell Crowe's character is nicknamed "The Spaniard," but this word didn't even exist until centuries after the movie was said to take place. "Spaniard" is derived from the French "Espaignart," adopted into Middle English around the 1500s. Gladiator is set in the year 180 a.d.

The Aviator

"I want ten chocolate chip cookies!" says Howard Hughes, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator. "Medium chips. None too close to the outside." An interesting request, not only due to its specificity. The chocolate chip cookie wasn't introduced until 1930—two years after the film was set to take place.

Django Unchained

The titular character in Django has a pretty unique look, which includes his signature aviator sunglasses. Unfortunately, this particular accessory is a bit out of place. Sunglasses weren't popular in the U.S. until 1929 and were often only worn for medical purposes.

Malcolm X

When the firebombings begin on Malcolm's home, he yells for someone to call 911, but his request is a little early. Malcolm X was murdered in 1971—three years before the 911 service existed.

The Patriot

This Y2K film follows Mel Gibson's character as he returns to the battlefield to rescue his eldest son, who has been captured by the enemy. Although The Patriot takes place over the course of five years, none of the Martin children appear to age during this time.

North by Northwest

The sound of a gunshot can startle anyone—especially this extra in the background of North by Northwest's cafeteria scene, who covered his ears before Eve even shoots Roger. Hitchcock probably wasn't too pleased about that one.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

When Indy and the monkey are having a few drinks after the truck carrying Marion exploded, there's something a bit strange in the background... You might be able to spot the gray-shirted extra to the left dressed in jeans and a tee. Not exactly dressed for the year 1936, it seems?

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

This classic 1970 film follows a poor boy who gets the opportunity to visit one of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factories. If Grandpa Joe hasn't left his bed in 20 years, how did he get ahold of that chocolate bar? Clearly, the guy must have really been craving something sweet...

Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs was the film that put Quentin Tarantino on the map. Though the characters handcuffed policeman Marvin Nash behind his back, the next shot depicts Nash's hands cuffed together in the front. So much for continuity.

Grease

Right before the cast launches into the "Beauty School Dropout" number in Grease's soda shop scene, this waitress flips the light switch with her elbow as she juggles a tray of glassware. The only problem? She missed the switch by about a mile.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is based on the folk tale of Robinhood, which takes place in the twelfth century. Azeem shows Robin the telescope, there's one minor issue: the telescope wasn't invented for 400 more years.

Speed

In the last 20 minutes of Speed, Dennis Hopper's character offers Jack (Keanu Reeves) some money. When Hopper opens the money bag, he is sprayed with paint—but when he climbs on top of the train to fight Reeves' character, the paint is mysteriously gone.

The Dark Knight Rises

Spellcheck is necessary for almost every industry—especially entertainment. In one scene from The Dark Knight Rises, "heist" is spelled incorrectly in a newspaper headline. You'd think there was enough money in the budget for an editor...

Star Wars: Episode IV

At first, only real fans of the series noticed this slip-up, but it soon became a popular GIF. One of the Stormtroopers, known only as "Unidentified Head-Bumping Stormtrooper," bangs his noggin on the doorframe while entering the scene. The 2004 DVD re-release of the original trilogy enhanced the incident with an obvious sound effect to draw more attention to the gaffe.

Jurassic Park

In Jurassic Park, little Tim is climbing an electric fence when suddenly sparks fly out from the wires, causing him to fall backward. However, it is obvious that the sparks are nowhere near Tim's hands, and even if they had been, the boy would have likely been killed by the voltage.

American Sniper

In a since-deleted tweet, American Sniper screenwriter Jason Hall explained the reason for the fake baby at the end of the film. Claiming that he hated to "ruin the fun," Hall said that "real baby #1 showed up with a fever" and "real baby #2 was no show." Thus, fake baby. Although, to be honest, at that point, it might have made more sense to write the baby out of the scene.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The long-awaited final installment in the Harry Potter franchise was broken into two separate films. Throughout the book series, Harry is always told that he has his mother's green eyes. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the actress who played Lily Potter had brown eyes.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

The Hogwarts dining hall is an iconic staple of the Harry Potter universe. However, in the second film, some shots reveal the wires used to keep them afloat. So much for movie (and wizard) magic!

Clueless

Clueless is one of the most classic '90s rom-coms ever. During Cher’s disastrous driving test, she smashes her Jeep into the side of a car, taking off her side mirror. Somehow, in the following scene, the mirror has returned, undamaged.

The Avengers

At the end of the final battle in The Avengers, Captain America's suit is torn down the middle. However, only a few scenes later, it looks completely fine! Do the Avengers keep a professional tailor on the fringes of their superhuman crew for emergencies?

Pretty Woman

This modern Cinderella story tells the tale of a wealthy businessman who falls in love with a sex worker. In one scene, Julia Roberts can be seen munching on a croissant—and in the next, she's eating a pancake!

She's All That

This classic 1999 teen rom-com had its fair share of slip-ups. In one scene, Zackary's (Freddie Prinze Jr.) narcissistic high school girlfriend, Taylor (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), gets a tattoo on her shoulder. During the prom scene, it is revealed that Taylor's tattoo has mysteriously vanished.

Pulp Fiction

Here's another goof in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. When Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta's characters enter the apartment to retrieve a briefcase, bullet holes can be seen in the wall—except the shooting scene hadn't taken place yet.

Quantum of Solace

This 2008 Bond film is a direct sequel to Casino Royale and features Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007. In one scene, you might notice that the street sweeper behind Craig isn't doing a very good job. In fact, he's holding the broom several inches off the ground and pretending to sweep, rather than just—you know—sweeping.

The Goonies

The scariest part of The Goonies was easily the scene with the octopus. Although "the octopus" was mentioned in the film's theatrical release, that scene was cut from the original version. It was later added back in for the rerelease on Disney Channel.

Jurassic Park

If you're a fan of this Spielberg classic, you might recall the scene in which giant velociraptors chase Lex and Tim Murphy through the kitchen, but unless you were looking very closely, you might have missed this: When the first dinosaur enters the kitchen, you can faintly make out one of the crew member's hands guiding it into the room. Whoops.

Spider-Man

Toward the beginning of 2002's Spider-Man, there is a scene in which Peter Parker discovers his powers and accidentally shatters a lamp while trying them out. When his aunt enters the room to see what all the commotion was about, the lamp is miraculously repaired and back in its rightful spot.

The Shining

One of the most quintessential scenes in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining takes place in the Overlook Hotel's winding hedge maze. However, the exterior shots of the film don't include the maze. Later, the maze magically appears right beside the hotel. Convenient, no?

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

This Coen brothers 2000 crime comedy-drama is meant to take place in 1937, but there was one major malfunction when it came to set design. During one scene, a neon "EXIT" sign can be seen in plain view toward the back of the theater. A little ahead of its time, don't you think?

John Wick

John Wick became the first installment in an ongoing series, but it wasn't without its flaws. In the beginning of the 2014 film, Wick (Keanu Reeves) encounters a trio of Russian gangsters at a gas station in New Jersey who ask to buy his car. However, it's illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey, meaning that in all likelihood, the encounter would never have taken place.

Back to the Future

Back to the Future should have really been called Guitar from the Future. At the end of the film, Marty McFly has successfully united his parents at the 1955 prom to verify his own existence, and he soon takes the stage to shred it on the guitar in celebration. All's well and good, except for the fact that McFly is playing a Gibson ES-345, which didn't exist until 1958.

Bernie

This 2011 Richard Linklater film tells the store of millionaire Marjorie Nugent's murder in 1996. Although the majority of the narrative adheres to true events, Linklater decided that iPhones were to be used throughout the film. Strange, considering iPhones didn't even exist until 2007.

Inglorious Basterds

Inglorious Basterds is known for many things, but this goof likely isn't one of them. In the film, German Sergeant Werner Rachtman can be seen in a number of shots with a badge over his breast pocket. In other scenes, the badge is no longer there. The costuming department needed to make up its mind!

Spotlight

This 2015 Oscar-nominated film was based on the true story of the Boston Globe journalists who investigated unsavory allegations made against the Catholic church. In one scene, Rachel McAdams' character interviews a victim at a coffeeshop, appearing to jot down notes as they chat—however, the notepad is continuously wiped clean throughout the shot.

Soul Surfer

2011's biopic Soul Surfer follows AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who survived a horrific shark attack. Green tape was wrapped around Robb's arm so they could digitally remove it from the film. However, in this scene, they forgot to edit it out.

Mean Girls

When Cady (Lindsay Lohan) accidentally scares Janis and Damian in 2004's Mean Girls, Damian flings his bowl of popcorn everywhere. In the following shot, the bowl is refilled. Why can't that happen in real life, too?

Twister

1996's Twister is considered one of the original epic disaster films, but that doesn't mean it was perfect. During a scene where farm machinery has been lifted into the air by a tornado, a piece of debris shatters the truck's windshield right in front of Helen Hunt. However, in the following scenes, the windshield is intact.

Never Been Kissed

In the Never Been Kissed montage sequence where Drew Barrymore hangs out with the math club, a Pi poster can be seen hanging across the table. Unfortunately, only the first three digits are correct. Pi is 3.1415926535897...
