Hollywood productions spend enormous amounts of time and money perfecting every detail, but even the biggest films aren’t immune to small mistakes slipping through.

Many of these moments go unnoticed by casual viewers, but eagle eyed fans and online communities, especially Reddit’s r/MovieMistakes, love spotting them. Here are 15 memorable movie mistakes that somehow made it onto the big screen.
