Whether it is the huge screen with awesome sound effects, when you are sharing popcorns with your friends or when you just popped in a DVD at your home after a tiring day out, it is only a movie, which can be the best way to refresh yourself. One can visualize his fantasies while watching a movie. It may be a drama, a comedy or a horror one; they are always capable of touching your emotions. However, have you ever noticed any goofs in movies? Well, they also have some mistakes, after all the folks from the Hollywood are also humans! The best part is when you see these little or big mistakes, you enjoy the movie more than before. These mistakes are generally very minor to get noticed by the common people. However, there are some people, who actually like to find out these flaws. There are plenty of websites in the internet where you can find these goof ups with detailed descriptions. Here, we have enlisted some of the best movie mistakes ever made.

The Top 15 Movie Goof Ups to Remember is listed below.

Let us start with one of the latest hit, Avatar. It is a boon to the box office. It has broken many of the previous records. However, it is quite interesting that this James Cameron’s latest venture do have some clear mistakes too. Well, those who have watched this film may have noticed that after getting an order by Selfridge, two soldiers go to switch off the Grace’s and Jake’s Avatar links. This has shown totally out of sequence. You see Jake’s Avatar fall down unconsciously when the female soldier shuts off grace switch and the vice versa.

There are plenty of other films having this kind of silly goofs. Can you ever think of air flights hundreds of years ago? Well, Brad Pitt has an answer to this! In the film Troy, you can see this miracle happening.

All the fashion lovers will be glad to hear that, Jeans are popular since Roman era. Don’t believe it? Then you must watch Gladiator, where in one scene, you can see someone wearing a trendy pair of jeans.

There are several more examples of crewmember visible by mistakenly. Pirates of the Caribbean has set an example with a crewmember with sleeveless T-shirt, a cowboy hat and a fashionable sunglass visible in a scene right behind the lead actor.

Position change in no time or shifting of watches from one hand to other are some of the mistakes mostly found. However, what will happen if somebody’s scar changes its position! Yes, this is what you can see in The Lord of the Rings, where the scar on the lower part of Frodo’s right cheek shifts to many places in different shots. Even it is seen in various sizes and once at the left cheek.

While talking about movie mistakes, you cannot really miss the most fantasized film series, the Harry Potter series. Starting with the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the scene where Harry is asleep wearing a crew necked short sleeve T-shirt, which changes to a Henley tee or in the Harry and the Philosopher’s stone, where during the feast Harry automatically shifts his sides. We can not also forget the unforgettable mistake from the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret, where they forgot to hide their cameraman in a scene. Another one is seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The triwizard cup lying on a grassy slope moves automatically nearer to the riddle monument.

In Twilight, when Bella is lying in the hospital, her breathing tubes walk from her cheeks right on her eyes for a closer shot. This one is a deliberate mistake.
Another such example is in the film Teen Wolf, where after winning the championship, Scott’s is coming out to congratulate, when one of the fans can be viewed clearly exposing himself to the camera.

Some more instances are, in Matrix Reloaded, you can observe a reflector screen in agent Smith’s sunglass.

In The Usual Suspects, the police air plane Boeing 747 loses two of its four engines and suddenly transforms into Boeing 767.

One of the most easily noticeable mistakes was done in Spiderman, where after a fight, Spiderman saves Mary Jane and badly broke two windows on the brick wall. However, the window mends itself and they were perfectly intact after the fight.

In Ocean’s Eleven, the mysterious glass changes into a plate and again to its original form, a glass!

Well, there are lot more goofs in big Hollywood movies to be noticed, as you know, nothing is perfect in the world.

As much as we all like to see ourselves as complete and utter one-offs, it’s inevitable that we sometimes stumble upon folks that remind us of others and even (horror!) ourselves, be it in personality, looks, voice or something less obvious like how we slurp coffee. That many turn up in the realm of fiction adds a level of comfort (they’re not real – phew!), one which can be swiftly undone when these imaginary twins are caught on film (or indeed TV), their physical resemblances now captured and played up. Sometimes these parallels can be flattering, like being told you play football like David Beckham or less than complimentary (trust us – this isn’t pleasant), but either way we’re intrigued by this relationship between us as real people, and those up on the big screen and so this week’s head-scratcher for Team Boxwish is simply: “Which film character are you most like?”

Katie: “In actuality I’m probably a combination of Sally (Meg Ryan) from When Harry Met Sally, Gracie (Sandra Bullock) from the Miss Congeniality movies and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) from Sex and the City. But ultimately, I’m going to reveal my gooey soft spot for Disney animations and say Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Okay, so her name means beauty and mine, er doesn’t (it’s actually pure fact fans), she lives in an enchanted castle (more like a modest semi) and is constantly breaking into song (which I don’t for the good of us all), but I like to kid myself that there are some similarities. Now all I need is that gold ball gown…”

Ella: “I’ve been told I‘m a bit like Enid from Ghost World a few times which I’m not too sure about, I do change my hair colour pretty often but it’s not been blue yet unfortunately. I am jealous of her though, she’s amazing at drawing and I’d kill for a rubber Catwoman mask like hers. Not so sure I’d want to be hanging out with Seymour all that much though.”

Lucy: “I wasn’t quite sure about this one, so I took a test online. The results were a little disappointing to say the least – Susan Pevensie. It said: “You are Susan Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia! You are the best female archer ever, but you are very logical and ‘realistic’ about things. You sometimes take the roll of ‘mother’, but you rock anyway!” I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was a bit more exciting than that. Plus I’ve not touched a bow and arrow since Guide camp. I might try it again (the test, not archery).”

Tim: “Well, I guess I’d want to be compared to the über-cool Tony Stark (Iron Man) but I’m probably more like Po (Kung Fu Panda)!”

Steve: “I really wish I was like someone cool like Wesley from Wanted or Batman but I’m most often compared to Eeyore by my friends because I’m grumpy all the time. I do have a friend who to this day still calls me Hedge after Steve the Hedge from Over the Hedge.”

Nic: “I have the nickname pirate due to my likeness to Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball, which is pretty cool. I think I am more like Matthew McConaughey…. cos I can’t act either! People also say I look like Michael Rapaport.”
