Hollywood makes great movies, doesn't it? Okay, there's no need to answer that question as we suspect that many of you will disagree.

But one thing we can all agree on is that they do tend to make a lot of mistakes that eventually make it into final cuts. You must have experienced the sensation of viewing a movie and suspecting that something is wrong with it.

And if you watch it in slow motion or pay close attention to the script, you'll find a lot of interesting details. Different takes are patched together in some cases, while the performers wear different outfits and makeup in others, and the characters' actions contravene basic logic.

But that's just a part of the movie magic. Without it, the movies would be boring.

Who wants to live in a perfect world, right? Who wants to watch a perfect movie, right?

Okay, no need to answer that question either. But you know what's fun (even more than watching movies)?

Finding movie blunders. Yes, let us do that.

We have compiled a list of ten and more movie mistakes that the directors and producers somehow missed. But we didn't.

Take a look. In your face, Hollywood!

1. Titanic

Do you recall the scene where the researchers discover the famous cruise ship that sank and open the safe in one of the rooms at the beginning of the film? They find a painting of a girl wearing a diamond necklace that resembles the "Heart of the Ocean" there.

Do you notice the difference between the portraits?

2. Beauty and the Beast

Belle does not wear a hat throughout the film. However, the film's writers forgot that in the past, only women who disobeyed societal rules walked like this.

All of the other female characters in the film wear headscarves, which is normal for the period. And the women in the rest stop where Gaston and Defou partied didn't have anything on their heads.

Perhaps there was a reason Belle was dubbed "strange"? This social norm was still very much alive when the story was published in 1740.

Notice the heads. Respectable women back then wore hats.

3. The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Edward's skin gleams in direct sunshine, as we all recall. However, for whatever reason, this rule does not apply to Alice (another Cullen family member).

She walks in the midst of the day, despite wearing gloves and sunglasses, and she doesn't shine. On the exposed regions of her skin, there was plenty of light.

4. The Island

The main protagonists are trying to get out of a lab where clones are being created. They are washed with water, crawl into vent shafts, and ascend rusted ladders on their voyage.

Their garments, however, are absolutely white when they are on the surface. And then, the main characters' clothes suddenly become dirty when they arrive in the nearest town.

5. The Martian

Mark Watney remained alone on Mars and discovered a Pathfinder transmitter that hadn't worked since 1997, which he used to send a signal to Earth. How might a botanist link a 40-year-old instrument to modern wires?

Take a look at the photo: all of the connectors are perfectly aligned.

6. Home Alone

Kevin is seen putting a red jug with detergent into his basket in the first frame. However, we notice that he does not have such a container when his bags tear on the way home.

Later, at home, he uses the same red container. Also, notice how easily the youngster carries the shopping bags.

They appear to be quite light. However, each container should weigh at least 3 pounds!

These bags must've ben filled with feathers

7. Alice in Wonderland

A pendant on a short chain disappears from Alice's neck when she falls down the rabbit hole. It's still there when he glances down in the photo, but it's gone a few seconds later.

And it occurred before she grew in size! So, it didn't just fall off when her neck became huge.

8. Passengers

When Jim meets Aurora, he informs her that because he is not a "platinum class" passenger, his dining options on the cruise are limited. But we have to wonder how he was able to eat at high-end restaurants and make use of all the other amenities available to wealthy space explorers.

The robots were supposed to immediately inform him that he lacked the financial means to pay for such enjoyment.

9. Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams

The film begins with Carmen and Juni's escapades in an amusement park. The man in the first shot claims that certain guests may vomit at great rates, covers himself with an umbrella to demonstrate this, and then someone's puke lands on him several seconds later.

When they move, however, we notice that all of the cubicles are sealed with a glass dome.

10. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

When Bethany is on the phone, the cup of coffee next to her starts behaving strangely. Its handle appears in a variety of locations in different photos.

However, the actress is on the phone and does not touch the cup.

11. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Mary, enraged, throws her drink into Sherlock's face. The hair adjacent to his forehead is dry at first, then damp after a few seconds.

On his cheek, the position of the droplets and water strains is different.

12. Van Helsing

Take a look at Alira's earrings. They appear and vanish during her heated conversation with Anna. It appears that different takes were combined here.

13. The Hunger Games

Viewers throw flowers to the passing chariots during the Tribute Parade. When the chariots arrive at President Snow's balcony, however, it is evident that the road they traveled was spotless.

Bread

When Gale offers Katniss bread, she begins to eat it as if she's never seen bread before, even questioning whether it's real. However, there was a bakery in District 12. Peeta worked at the bakery with his parents and learned to paint on cakes, which helped him develop his disguise.

One of the most popular and enjoyable pastimes is watching movies. It is well known that making a film involves a significant amount of time and money.

However, it appears that even the most engaging and well-received films can have problems. That's because of a simple rule - bigger movies involve larger teams and that introduces more opportunities to make mistakes.
