Jurassic Park: Goat leg scene 

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park is an excellent example of a sci-fi movie, as producing genetically cloned dinosaurs walking around an amusement park is quite a tricky task. But Directors’ main focus was on making sure his animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex didn’t break down, Sadly in that T-Rex escape scene, there is one remarkably noticeable mistake.

This leg fell on top of the car, and blood was dripping down from the window. Nevertheless, when Gerrano fled to hide in the closed toilet from the same car, we saw that goat leg and blood was absent in the shot. The portion reappears in later scenes.

Avatar :-

James Cameron’s Avatar gives an unbelievable 3d experience, which broke several records in cinema’s History. But you might have missed the mistake in the scene when Neytiri meets Jake Sully in his human form for the first time. They both shared a moment when Neytiri saved Jake’s life, fortunately.

In that scene, Jake puts his hand on Neytiri’s face, and it was filmed beautifully. But the issue here is that Neytiri belongs to the Navi community, and her height is almost double that of Jake’s size. Then also, Jake was able to touch her gigantic cheek with ease. But, in reality, it would look a lot smaller. Although Jake’s hand was looking like a child, it should be additionally smaller.

According to the movie, Characters must wear headphones during every phase of the dream to hear the music when it’s time to wake up. But error arises in Arthur wearing headphones.

In that scene, Arthur wasn’t wearing headphones, but in the later stage, when the van was dripping in the river, headphones appeared again.

Star track:-

The villain in 2009’s reboot of the Star Trek Sci-fi is absolutely on the spot. Nero is a time traveler looking for people who play a significant role in destroying his home planet and family. But the mistake arises when Neo lies down and waits for the arrival of the person who answers for Romulus’s end. His face was more visible, and the tattoo on his chin spoils his entire look, which was an unintentional mistake.
