Although pointing out filmmakers’ missteps can seem mean-spirited at first, fans frequently use these discussion-worthy errors to springboard rich conversations about the story universes in which they occurred. The best movie mistakes become integral wrinkles of the fabric of the films in which they appear.
As for the Wizarding World, how about that bike seat on Harry’s broomstick? Or, for “The Lord of the Rings” fans among us, there’s the anachronistic automobile appearing in “Fellowship of the Ring” right alongside Sam and Frodo. Consider the clumsy stormtrooper of “A New Hope,” whose hilariously audible collision with an Imperial spaceship doorframe turned the extra’s true identity into an ongoing mystery for the Star Wars ages. Like freckles on a human face, mistakes can make movies infinitely more special to the audiences that love them. Since before that kid-extra prematurely covered his ears for Eva Marie Saint shooting Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest,” audiences have delighted in finding the little moments that make their favorite films imperfect.
Movies might seem like magic, but Hollywood’s favorite actors, directors, producers, stunt performers, props masters, costumers, script coordinators, and cinematographers are still only human.
