MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The mention of 'the octopus' in 'The Goonies'
Near the end of The Goonies, Data says that the scariest part was "the octopus," which doesn't appear in the original version of the film. The scene with the octopus was deleted for the theatrical release, but added back in for the Disney Channel version.

The shirt Tran's wearing in 'The Fast and the Furious'
In The Fast and the Furious, there's a pretty glaring error in the scene where Jesse and Tran race. In one shot, Tran is wearing a shirt with sleeves, but in the next shot he's in a tank top.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The name mixup in 'Supernatural'
Supernatural fans noticed a huge mistake in the first season of the show. In the episode "Provenance," Dean seems to call his brother "Jared"—which is the name of the actor, but not the character. In another scene, you can hear what seems to be an extra calling Dean "Jensen," which similarly, is the name of the actor rather than the character.

The other name mixup in 'The Big Bang Theory'
In an early season of the show, Penny refers to her own father as "Bob," but then he's later introduced as Wyatt once he actually appears on the show.

The wine storyline in 'The Big Bang Theory'
Leonard mentions in "The Good Guy Fluctuation" that he can't drink wine because it gives him migraines. And yet, he drinks wine throughout the series with some regularity.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The camera guy in 'Bad Boys'
This mistake is frankly laughable. One of the camera operators is so obviously visible near the ground in this shot from the 1983 movie Bad Boys, we can't quite figure out how it was missed.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The handcuffs on Pippin disappearing in 'The Lord of the Rings'
At the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Merry and Pippin have been captured by the Orcs. As prisoners, their hands are restrained, but during a fight scene, Pippin's hands are clearly no longer bound as he nearly gets trampled by a horse. A few moments later, the restraint seems to be there again.

The sword Éomer drops in 'The Lord of the Rings'
This mistake is easy to miss on your first view, but true Lord of the Rings fans noticed that Éomer drops his sword while mounting his horse during a scene where the Rohirrim have met Aragorn.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The car in the background in 'Braveheart'
Braveheart was set in the 13th century, so it's a little odd to see this decidedly modern car in the background during one of the film's big battle scenes.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The time of day in 'The Dark Knight Rises'
At the beginning of the stock market heist scene in The Dark Knight Rises, it's clearly daytime outside. But after the police chase through the tunnel happens, it's pitch black outside. What makes this especially weird is that we're led to believe that the stock market had just opened for the day at the beginning of the scene, meaning there's no way it would become nighttime so quickly.
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The direction of Ben's car in 'The Graduate'
In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman's character drives across the Bay Bridge in San Francisco on his way to Berkeley, California―but he drives there on the top deck of the Bay Bridge, in which traffic actually moves in the opposite direction (from Berkeley to San Francisco).
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The 'over by the bed' comment from Jack in 'Titanic'
During the painting scene in Titanic, right after Rose undresses, Jack tells her to go "over by the bed," and then corrects himself and says "the couch." This was a real line flub by Leonardo DiCaprio. Filmmakers found it funny, so they decided to keep the mistake in the film.

The cut on Calvin's hand in 'Django Unchained'
Here's another Leo "mistake" that made it into a film. When he slammed his hand on the table during a scene in Django Unchained, he broke a glass and cut his hand. Leo stayed in character and finished the scene, and Quentin Tarantino liked it so he used that take for the film. (But, thankfully, they reportedly used fake blood for the next scene where Leo smears his bloody hand on Kerry Washington's face.)

The Starbucks in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'
Several fans have noticed that there are quite a few things in Quentin Tarantino's latest film that weren't around in 1969, which is when the events in the movie take place. In various scenes, people have noticed a Starbucks (the chain wasn't invented until 1971), a numbered exit ramp (California didn't have these until 2002), and the Pussycat Theatre (which didn't open until 1974).
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The famous 'they're here' line in 'Poltergeist'
One of the more memorable movie lines ever is Heather O'Rourke's character, Carol-Ann, saying, "They're he-eere" in Poltergeist. But if you watch closely, the audio and visual elements don't quite line up and it looks like the young actress actually says "they're all here."
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The ruby red slippers in 'The Wizard of Oz'
During the scene in The Wizard of Oz where the trees begin to pelt Dorothy and the Scarecrow with apples, you can catch a glimpse of Judy Garland wearing plain black shoes—rather than her iconic ruby red slippers
MOVIE MISTAKES/GOOFS
The random cowboy in 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
This is a blink-and-you-miss-it mistake in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. You can spot one extra (or crew member?) behind Johnny Depp who appears to be wearing a cowboy hat and looking out to sea. Maybe the costume department ran out of pirate outfits and figured this was the next best thing? It's unclear.

The bus ride in Venice in 'Spiderman: Far From Home'
In Spiderman: Far From Home, the students appear to be staying on the main island of Venice. When they leave, they get on a bus. The only problem: Buses and other motor vehicles aren't actually allowed in Venice.
Hugs make you healthier.
Simply holding your loved ones tight can boost your immune system. For one 2014 study that was published in the journal Psychological Science, participants were exposed to a common cold virus and were monitored in quarantine to assess signs of the illness. Those participants who were hugged more often and felt socially supported experienced less severe signs of the illness.
People email love letters to trees in Australia.
The city of Melbourne, Australia, loves its trees—so much so that in 2013, they assigned each one an email address so that the public could report any tree-related issues they noticed (things like dangerous branches).
However, instead of sending messages about hazards, people began writing love letters to the trees. "Hi Tree, You are just outside my work and you make me happy 🙂 Keep growing and keep on treeing," wrote one person. "Dear Smooth-barked Apple Myrtle, I am your biggest admirer. I have always wanted to meet you, but tragically, I'm stuck in New York," wrote another.

The horse kick in 'The Last Samurai'
During a scene in The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise rides his horse into the middle of a group of soldiers. As he dismounts, the horse kicks one of the soldiers in the stomach. Ouch.
There's a word for when you're waiting for someone to arrive.
Anticipation isn't always easy to deal with, but when it happens, ideally you're waiting for something wonderful. Or perhaps you're waiting for someone—and in that case, you might be experiencing "iktsuarpok," which is an Inuit word for the feeling of anticipation you get while waiting for a visitor to arrive.
Humans are made from stardust.
Whenever you start to feel inadequate, remember that you're made of actual stardust. "Everything we are and everything in the universe and on Earth originated from stardust, and it continually floats through us even today," Iris Schrijver, professor of pathology at Stanford University, told National Geographic. "It directly connects us to the universe, rebuilding our bodies over and again over our lifetimes."
Playing music for plants helps them grow faster.
You may have heard that talking to your plants can help them grow stronger, but were you aware of the fact that music can also help them flourish faster? According to Sciencing, vibrations that travel through sound waves may "stimulate growth factors" in nearby plants. And that's not all: "Evolution may have given plants 'ears' so they can hear warnings about predators."

The fake baby in 'American Sniper'
This film, about an Iraq War veteran played by Bradley Cooper, was praised for being a realistic portrayal of war and of veterans readjusting to civilian life. But one aspect wasn't so realistic: the fake baby used in one of the scenes. Cooper himself laughed about it on The Ellen Degeneres Show, saying, "I couldn't believe that we were working with a plastic baby...I was just like, this is nuts."

The different plane numbers in 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'
The numbers on John Conaway's plane change throughout Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Here, it's N3035C, but once it's in the air, the numbers change to N3413F.

The yellow Porsche in 'Commando'
In the 1985 movie Commando, there's an intense car chase scene that ends with a pretty beat-up Porsche. But, somehow, in the next scene the car appears totally intact.

The crew member in 'Malcolm in the Middle'
In a scene from Malcolm in the Middle, you can see a crew member lifting a dress from a bucket of water and handing it to Jane Kaczmarek's character, Lois.
Some stray dogs in Cuba are given homes in state institutions, including banks and museums.
Around 21 formerly stray dogs in Cuba now live (and "work") in state institutions, including gas stations, museums, banks, and even a public toilet. "They stay here and nothing happens to them," Dalia Garcia, caretaker of a public toilet who oversees two of the dogs, told the Daily Mail in 2015. "Everyone takes care of them, no one hits them. They don't bark and they don't bite anyone." The dogs are issued special I.D. cards that note where they work; the tags mean they can't be detained by the local dog catcher.
Drinking coffee can help you live longer.
Granted, there is such a thing as too much coffee. However, studies have found that drinking moderate amounts of the stuff may actually help you live longer. A 2018 JAMA study of around half a million British adults found that coffee drinkers had a slightly lower risk of death over a 10-year follow-up period than non-coffee drinkers.
