“Unrealistic”: 50 Of The Most Horrible Movie Details Revealed By This Online Group (New Pics)

Inconsistencies are common in filmmaking, with continuity errors being a typical issue. It can be as minor as a misplacement of a coffee mug between frames, or something as glaring as a character change between seasons in a television series. 

While these visual errors may not be readily noticeable, movie buffs who have seen the film multiple times may spot them, call them out, and post them on the subreddit mentioned above. 

In terms of blatant character changes, one example that stands out is the one that occurred in HBO’s famed crime drama, The Sopranos. Actress Nicole Burdette played Barbara Soprano in the second and third seasons, while actress Danielle Di Vecchio took over the role in the fifth and sixth seasons. 

HBO didn’t provide a reason for the drastic shift, leaving fans initially taken aback and continuously puzzled to this day.

Space films have been a popular genre for decades now. Film franchises like Star Wars have amassed massive success and continue to be relevant among younger audiences. However, the idea of doing anything in space is absurd in itself, according to writer and scientific consultant Dr. Anne Helmenstine. 

In an article for ThoughtCo., she outlined the most egregious scientific mistakes that many filmmakers have committed over the years.

One common flaw she pointed out is the idea of catching a person who is falling off a building. She clarified that it may be possible to catch a cat or a baby from a second or third-story building, but anything higher would be impossible. 

“Landing in Superman's arms would splatter your body all over his nice blue spandex suit rather than the pavement because you'll strike The Man of Steel just as hard as you would have hit the ground,” Dr. Helmenstine wrote.

Speaking of Star Wars films, you’ve likely remembered scenes where laser gunfights took place. It happened here during one instance between Han Solo and a small army of stormtroopers. But as Dr. Helmenstine explained, it would be impossible because there are no sounds in space. 

“Sound is a form of energy that requires a medium to propagate. No air? No ‘pew-pew-pew’ of space lasers, no thunderous explosion when a spaceship blows up,” she noted, while also giving credit to the movie Alien for getting it right.
