The mistake became an overnight talking point, sparking countless memes and leading to intense discussions about how such an oversight could survive the final cut. Perhaps the iron throne wasn’t the only seat of power in the realm; it seems a barista’s chair also snuck into the set.

Croissant or pancake?

Mistake: Julia Roberts’ croissant turns into a pancake
Year: 1990
We witness a breakfast mistake in Pretty Woman that doesn’t obey the laws of pastry physics. As the camera pans away and back again, Julia Roberts mysteriously turns into a pancake. Julia Roberts bites into a croissant. Breakfast in Beverly Hills clearly carries with it a certain magical metamorphosis. Viewers were left bewildered by this pancake-croissant switcheroo, wondering if there was a hidden pastry chef holding a magic wand of culinary confusion behind the scenes. Breakfast lovers will probably forever be divided over the eternal question – croissant or pancake? Although the romance and charm of the movie remain intact.

Maggie’s picture in ‘The Simpsons’
Movie/Show: The Simpsons
Mistake: Marge is pregnant with Maggie, but has Maggie’s picture on the wall
Year: 1991
Springfield’s famous family is not immune to continuity errors either. It’s possible that the animators were confused by Marge’s pregnancy with Maggie because they accidentally put a picture of Maggie on the wall while she was still in the womb. Time traveling fetus, anyone? A cartoon character doesn’t transcend the laws of space and time on a daily basis. The Simpsons do, however, manage to give us a dose of paradoxical humor. Attentive fans who take pride in discovering the show’s subtle quirks will love this amusing slip in animation history.

Someone was thirsty
Movie/Show: Game of Thrones
Mistake: Plastic water bottle near Samwell Tarly’s foot
Year: 2019
Winter is coming and so is plastic invasion! In another Game of Thrones mistake, a plastic water bottle unexpectedly appeared near Samwell Tarly’s foot during an intense scene. Apparently, the production crew were unaware of modern conveniences in the Seven Kingdoms. Social media was rife with jokes and speculation due to this supposedly out-of-place water bottle. Was it a hidden message from the future or simple carelessness? Either way, it was a reminder that even the most blatant narratives cannot escape the watchful eyes of internet detectives.

A car in battle
Movie/Show: Braveheart
Mistake: Car spotted in the battle scene
Year: 1995
There was a not-so-epic mistake in Mel Gibson’s epic tale of the Scottish fight for freedom: a car managed to sneak into a battle scene. It looks like someone accidentally brought a piece of modern technology with them during the fight for independence. It’s hard to imagine the Scots uttering their war cries over the roar of a four-wheeled vehicle. Fans and critics jokingly wonder if the warriors of Braveheart have mastered the art of time travel, as this anachronistic blooper has become a famous blunder in movie history. While historical accuracy may have been neglected in this case, it certainly left us with an entertaining anecdote.

A cowboy in the Caribbean
Movie/Show: Pirates of the Caribbean
Mistake: Man with cowboy hat behind Johnny Depp
Year: 2003
When a man in a cowboy hat was spotted in the background of a scene on the high seas, Johnny Depp’s buccaneering adventure took an unexpected turn. This cowboy’s unexpected cameo added a whole new level of intrigue, although fantastical elements are obviously no stranger to the Caribbean franchise. Captain Jack Sparrow accidentally stumbled into a space-time portal that took him from the Wild West to High Seas? Perhaps this was a clever Easter egg for those who can imagine alternate realities colliding in the world of cinema. Either way, it was a mistake that disappointed fans eager for the next pirate adventure and potential cowboy crossover.

Plastic baby toy in American Sniper
Movie/Show: American Sniper
Mistake: Bradley Cooper cradles a plastic baby toy as the father of a newborn baby
Year: 2014
An unfortunate oversight – using a clearly plastic baby toy as a stand-in for a newborn – tarnishes Bradley Cooper’s poignant portrayal of a father facing the challenges of war. The emotional weight of the scene is unintentionally undermined as Cooper cradles the stiff and lifeless prop. Given the absurdity of the situation, viewers are caught between sympathizing with the character and stifling laughter. Critics and fans have scoffed at this flaw, wondering how a multi-million dollar production cost could have missed the opportunity for a more convincing baby doll.

Cameraman in the fight scene
Movie/Show: Bad Boys (Original title: Bad Boys)
Mistake: Cameraman appears in the fight scene
Year: 1983
When an unexpected participant showed up in a fight scene – a rebellious cameraman who appeared in a stealth cameo behind the fighting characters – Bad Boys (original title: Bad Boys) ramped up the tension to new heights. The unintentional addition added an unintentional layer of realism to the scene, whether the cameraman was a rebellious paparazzo looking for an exclusive photo or just a member of the crew caught in the crossfire. Even though the filmmakers would probably prefer to keep their crew behind the scenes, this mistake made for a memorable and amusing addition to movie history.

Mistake: Batman’s make-up disappears in the middle of the scene
Year: 1992
When Batman’s signature eye makeup mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the movie, his dark and thoughtful nature took an unexpected turn. Only to inexplicably disappear in subsequent shots, Batman’s eyes were perfectly accentuated in one scene by dramatic eye shadow. Perhaps Batman is a superpower, possessing not only intelligence and savvy, but also the ability to apply and remove eye makeup at lightning speed. Bruce Wayne’s secret make-up artist, a cosmetic enigma, became a strange topic of fandom discussion and led to fanciful theories about him.
