Movies, despite their editing magic and immense production cost, aren't immune to errors. A watchful eye can catch amusing mishaps that slip past both audiences and filmmakers. Take Agent Smith's glasses in The Matrix slightly showing a light panel behind cameras or, similarly, in Star Trek: Voyager, the production crew mistakenly appears on the screen during a crucial scene.

More recent films also feature some of these "bloopers" that were later caught by fans. Like in 2024's Elevation in which a character mishandles a cartridge, loading it backward, a blunder that no firearm expert would forgive. Other notable slips include a CGI error in Avatar where exopack tubing vanishes and in Back to the Future when a curious question arises, "How did Marty have money to pay for coffee in 1955?"

These mistakes are often small and unrelated to the film's plot, making it a fun excuse to go back and watch the classic movies featured in this collection, adding a touch of humor to your viewing experience.

It's not obvious, but a light panel reflects in Agent Smith's glasses.
