  • Blockbuster films may be billion-dollar affairs these days, but no matter how big the action

  • and spectacle may get, slip-ups are bound to happen. Studios do their best to keep those

  • flaws from making the final cut, but luckily for movie buffs, some incredible mistakes

  • still slip through the cracks. Here are ScreenRant's Biggest Movie Mistakes You Missed.

  • The Last Samurai

  • The Last Samurai�s tale of 19th century Japan may rewrite several historical events

  • and figures, but it's actually star Tom Cruise's horse who delivers the biggest on-screen gaff.

  • As the film's hero arrives to muster his samurai before battle, his horse comes to a full stop

  • before suddenly unleashing a crushing blow to a nearby extra.

  • It seems the horse didn�t care for the way it was handled, and chose to take its anger

  • out on an unsuspecting samurai � a decision every viewer can now appreciate with a laugh

  • (or a shudder).

  • Jurassic Park

  • It�s no secret that Jurassic Park has its fair share of mistakes, mostly continuity

  • errors or props appearing onscreen. Then there�s the magical T-Rex enclosure that a dinosaur

  • can walk out of, despite the massive plunge shown later. But one would think that a film

  • capable of bringing dinosaurs to life would also be able to set up an actual live camera

  • feed for programmer Dennis Nedry before he double-crosses John Hammond.

  • But when Nedry is speaking with his contact at the Isla Nublar docks, no attempt is made

  • to conceal the fact that he and the viewer are watching a pre-recorded video, which would

  • have ended not long after the shot.

  • Quantum of Solace

  • James Bond adventures are famous for their physics-defying action and over-the-top science,

  • but Quantum of Solace showed it isn't just 007 who can turn reality on its head. As star

  • Daniel Craig tracks his prey in the sun-baked harbor of Haiti, a background maintenance

  • worker does his best to look casual - and fails miserably.

  • Making sure not to fill the set with clouds of dust or sand is understandable, but how

  • this floating broom pantomime made it into the finished film is anyone�s guess.

  • Quantum of Solace

  • An overzealous extra is one thing, but Quantum of Solace is also home to one baffling error

  • placed center stage. During a high speed boat chase, James decides to cut power unexpectedly,

  • causing the pursuing boat to slam up onto the back of his own. Without a weapon, James

  • grabs a nearby grappling hook, and tosses it over into his enemiesinflatable boat.

  • The rope catches, and the bad guys are sent flying into the air, ending the chase.

  • The problem is: the hook was never actually attached to anythingthere�s no reason

  • for the rope to be pulled out of the boat in the first place. Audiences are left to

  • scratch their heads at what just took place, and what the filmmakers could have been thinking

  • when they filmed it.

  • Gladiator

  • Ridley Scott's Gladiator pushed visual effects and swords-and-sandal drama into a whole new

  • generation, but it wasn't without a few rough spots. Star Russell Crowe begins his journey

  • from salve to revolutionary by uniting his fellow gladiators during a re-enactment of

  • the Battle of Carthage, in which opposing chariots are beaten by spear and teamwork.

  • Yet when a chariot loses a wheel and tips on its side, a curtain drops, revealing the

  • entire gas canister rig used for the stunt. It�s nearly impossible to miss, making it

  • even more out of place in such an award-winning drama.

  • Transformers: Age of Extinction

  • Director Michael Bay may have his critics, but he�s also responsible for the slick

  • action now standard in every summer blockbuster - with the Transformers series being his most

  • successful to date. But in the storm of giant alien robots fighting to destroy the Earth,

  • some smaller mistakes have slipped through.

  • One of the strangest can be seen during the closing fight of Transformers: Age of Extinction,

  • as star Mark Wahlberg runs to the aid of Optimus Prime, drawing fire from Megatron in the process.

  • A brick wall takes the brunt of the villain�s attack - along with a completely unknown man

  • suddenly appearing at Wahlberg's side. Whether a member of the crew or a cast member, his

  • instant arrival is a total mystery.

  • The Dark Knight Rises

  • The final chapter of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy threw more than a few curveballs at

  • fans, including Catwoman's shift from villain to heroine. But when Bruce Wayne and Selina

  • Kyle first join forces for a rooftop fistfight, their skills prove too much for one background

  • henchmanwho drops to the ground without being touched.

  • It's clearly a case of stunt team members missing their mark, but it�s not the only

  • one in the film. When Batman emerges to save Gotham from the brink in the film�s final

  • act, yet another henchman decides that hitting the deck without reason is the best course

  • of action.

  • Batman Begins

  • Extras can occasionally make their presence well-known, but doing too good a job can also

  • lead to some problems. Take, for instance, one Gotham City police officer seen in Christopher

  • Nolan�s Batman Begins. No fan will forget the first time Bruce Wayne took his Tumbler

  • to the streets, but some might not have noticed one mindboggling mistake contained in the

  • sequence.

  • Moments before Batman sends the Tumbler jumping from the top of a parking structure, a police

  • officer demands that he get out of his vehicle. Just a minute later, that same police officer

  • is shown across town demanding a description of Batman�s wheels. Apparently, he was just

  • too good an actor to waste on ONE gag. Star Wars

  • Every film buff knows that the release of Star Wars: A New Hope changed the world, not

  • only for its box office success, but also for the clumsy stormtrooper slamming his head

  • into a Death Star doorway that instantly became the stuff of legend.

  • Rather than fixing the mistake, director George Lucas called out the gaff in later re-releases,

  • adding a sound effect and line of dialogue. But it didn't stop there: the clumsiness was

  • carried over to the prequel movie, Attack of the Clones, where Jango Fett - the man

  • from whom the Clone Troopers were copied - was shown to be just as clumsy. As Lucas explained

  • in the film's DVD commentary:

  • "I thought, 'Wouldn't it be funny if that's a trait that Jango has?' When he puts his

  • helmet on he can't really see that we'll, so he's constantly bumping his head - and

  • that trait gets cloned into all the stormtroopers."

  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier

  • Superhero movie fans were shown that there�s more to Steve Rogers than patriotism and old-fashioned

  • values when he was put in charge of a S.H.I.E.L.D. strike team in Captain America: The Winter

  • Soldier. Although Cap was able to take down an entire ship�s worth of armed guardsin

  • one of the most memorable hand-to-hand combat sequences comic book films have ever produced

  • his moves weren�t all perfect.

  • When Steve first boards the S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel, he dispatches a number of guards with so much

  • ferocity, he�s able to knock out one henchman despite the foot or two between his fist and

  • the goon�s face. Later, Cap can be seen switching sides of the ship in the middle

  • of a combat roll. These mistakes can be forgiven, but in an otherwise flawless sequence, they

  • show even movie magic has its limits.
