We have compiled a list of film errors in major Hollywood films. You’ll find a total of 5 mistakes and a bonus here, which you can blow your friends’ faces as a know-it-all at the next TV evening.

1. Forrest Gump – A Saturday that is actually a Monday

After the death of his loved one, Forrest Gump stands in front of her grave in mourning. As viewers, we as viewers see the date on which Jenny died clearly engraved on the gravestone: it is March 22, 1982. Forrest Gump says that she died on a Saturday.

However, if you look up the date in the calendar, you will see that the date was actually not a Saturday, but a Monday.

2. Jurassic Park – The Wrong Mosquito

Thanks to a small mosquito that sucked the blood of dinosaurs and was preserved in amber, the prehistoric giants can be brought back to life in Jurassic Park.

But realistically speaking, the researchers would have failed straight away because: The mosquito shown is the completely wrong specimen, as an entomologist explained.

The mosquito is male, so it doesn’t drink blood at all. On top of that, this type of mosquito generally does not feed on blood.

The researcher also noted that DNA normally has a half-life of 521 years – so it would have degraded long ago and would no longer be detectable in the blood.

3. The Lord of the Rings – A ring bearer came away empty-handed

At the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring we see the various ring bearers among the elves, dwarves and men. At the same time, it is said that among the latter 9 kings received special pieces of jewelry.

While 8 of the people synchronously lower their hand in which the ring can be seen, the king on the far right is noticed and does not follow the movement. Because, unlike his colleagues, he doesn’t hold a ring in his hand.

In this YouTube video you can watch the prologue of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, including the ring bearer without the ring.
