Minor errors, story flaws, and environmental inconsistencies can occur in even the most painstakingly produced movies and television series. Only a small number of fans were able to spot these blink-and-you-miss-it errors and chose to post the information online because they are difficult to spot.
A simple typo of “incendiary” appears in a post-credit scroll in the 2024 movie Jackpot!, for example, and the 2014 film Fury has an outdated smokes brand that isn’t appropriate for the time period. On your first viewing of any of these films, would you be able to pick up on these minor details? Probably not.
Another instance of continuity problems occurs when a popcorn vendor in the 1996 film Jingle All the Way inadvertently crosses over with a character, and in the 2013 horror film The Conjuring, a contemporary telephone jack is inadvertently shown. These minor errors, which range from visible staff members to Toy Story glitches, serve as a reminder that making a movie is a team effort that is rife with flaws.
While these errors do not diminish the aesthetic appeal or entertainment value of films and television programs, they do provide a peek of the artists’ efforts to build the mood for their productions. These small errors provide amusing shocks and anecdotes that enhance your movie-watching experience, regardless of your level of interest in movies.
‘Incendiary’ is misspelled in Jackpot! (2024) in the “exciting new rules” scroll that appears just after the credits have rolled.
