Wardrobe Fails That Ruined Our Favorite Films

Everybody knows that producing motion pictures, particularly commercial movies, involves some really serious cash. Therefore, if people see any error in these films, they can be surprised regardless of the cause for such error – owing to either historical inaccuracy or an oversight committed during editing. It often turns into a kind of game where some highly devoted fans become so keen on spotting such mistakes. Taking a jab at the crew is quite easy for us to do, yet let’s be honest. Didn’t we also miss it at first?

Legends of the Fall: Brad Pitt’s Blonde Hair Was Too Perfect

Brad Pitt became a super attractive cowboy for this coming-of-age Western film. He plays the middle son, Tristan Ludlow, in a farm family living in Montana. His character is sensitive as well as wild. This movie takes place at the beginning of the 20th century. Because of this, many have expressed their criticism of the styling. Pitt’s beautiful blonde hair was left free-flowing and styled with waves – a look reminiscent of the 1960s. Some have also said the shave would’ve been unacceptable for the era.

Troy: Umbrellas Didn’t Exist Then

Although Orlando Bloom may have had adequate protection while filming Troy, his character Paris standing under the shade of a pink parasol is historically inaccurate. Even if the Trojan War actually occurred, the umbrella only came into existence several years after it. The sunshade was invented sometime around the 5th Century BCE. Thus, soldiers from Troy and Greece had no protection from the sun and its intense heat.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: An Extra Is Actually Wearing Jeans

There’s a high chance of missing it if you don’t look carefully. In the background, an extra donning a t-shirt and a pair of jeans can be seen. Even though the attire is completely acceptable nowadays, it wasn’t really the fashion norm in 1930s Egypt.

Pride and Prejudice: Rubber Boots Didn’t Exist Then

Lizzy Bennett and Mr. Darcy’s unrivaled romance as well as its beautiful imagery earned the film wide acclaim. The movie is an adaptation of a Jane Austen novel. Since the book’s setting is in the Regency period, it should have been impossible for Keira Knightley to wear rubber boots. Why? Because Wellington boots only came into existence around four decades later.

Pride And Prejudice

Captain America (The First Avenger): Hair Needs To Be Up Here

Hayley Atwell was incredibly beautiful in Captain America’s first installment. However, Peggy Carter’s pin curls were completely unacceptable in the army. In spite of the fact that the style is accurate for the era, it was compulsory for longer-haired women in the military to wear their hair up.

Gladiator: Crowe’s Lycra Shorts Don’t Make Sense

The leather outfit that Russell Crowe sported was iconic, but the spandex he wore underneath? Not really. The skin-hugging garment can be seen several times in the movie. However, it is clear that it was not the fashion norm in ancient Rome. The empire’s fall was more than a millennium and a half before the Spandex was introduced in 1962.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Nazi’s Shouldn’t Be Wearing Medals

Indian Jones once again is on the list. The Last Crusade has turned into a source for laughs. The film is set at the end of the ‘30s, just before the Second World War erupted. Therefore, how it depicts Nazis is rather questionable. Despite the fact that Nazis love war medals, they could not get one unless they fought in a war first. Therefore, the practice of donning pins and medals only became common at the end of the war.

The King’s Speech: Wrong Kilt

The King’s Speech went home with the 2011 Oscar’s Best Picture, and rightly so. King George VI’s story was so well done that it must have captivated everyone. Well, maybe except the kilt experts. The specialists were not happy with the design used for the kilt in the film. It appears that the design was more appropriate for 1997 than for the film’s setting. Also, it was supposed to be Scottish Balmoral, not Irish.

John Carter: A Revealing Costume

Most people don’t know this, but Princess Dejah Thoris is not supposed to be nearly as dressed as she is in John Carter. Actress Lynn Collins modified the outfit to be “revealing”, but the truth is that the outfit should have been nothing but luxurious ornaments, according to the book.

Glory: A Digital Watch During the Civil War, Really?

This one is a rather obvious mistake in wardrobe. After all, a digital watch is completely unacceptable in any film that takes place during the Civil War. It was during the latter years of the 1800s when wristwatches were introduced. Thus, the film’s setting is several decades too early for these watches. In addition, the modern digital watch we know only became common in the 1970s.

Glory

Captain America (The First Avenger): The Headset Din’t Exist Yet

Another entry from Captain America has made the list. The film was certainly great but the earpiece which Jim Morita can be seen wearing seems out of place. This is because the movie takes place in the Second World War, yet the design was created at the beginning of the millennium.

Dirty Dancing: Baby’s Shorts Needed To Be A Skirt

Even if this classic was released in the year 1987, the movie’s setting is actually 1963. The movie might be convincing for most viewers, but the observant ones will notice that the denim shorts Baby wears aren’t from the 1960s. Historically speaking, the shorts came into fashion in the ‘80s. Nevertheless, this faux pas must have been minor because it has not deterred the film from making a long-lasting impact on viewers. Who hasn’t tried to imitate the characters’ dance moves? Who hasn’t somehow fallen for Johnny and Baby?

Public Enemies: A Robe That’s Too Advanced

Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the Prohibition-era gangster was well-received, but this wasn’t enough to make up for a particular historical inaccuracy in the film. The robes which judges wore during that time were much heavier and stiffer compared to the jackets people wear these days. However, the jacket that the character John Dillinger steals from Judge Murray has fibers which were too light compared to what was common during that time.

Baywatch: See Through Swimsuit

Baywatch was a favorite for many of us. What was there not to love during the days of the Hoff and Pamela Anderson? Swimsuits were a staple on the set of the show, but who would have thought that they weren’t water-resistant. Gena Lee Nolin was the unlucky one to discover this blunder, and luckily she found the mistake before ‘action’ was shouted.

Almost Famous: The Black Sabbath T-shirt

This rather quintessential teenage film will always be remembered as a poignant coming-of-age story. The film is loaded with plenty of humor and charm. However, this cannot cover up the Black Sabbath t-shirt that made its appearance in it. The movie takes place in 1973, but the t-shirts were produced in 1997. Oops!

Pearl Harbor: Bare Legs Weren’t Appropriate

Many movies on this list are World War II period films. Pearl Harbor is one example. Whatever the crew’s intent was, the ‘40s were just not the time for women to have bare legs. Back then, many thought it was much too scandalous to see a woman in a skirt without some stockings on.

The Mummy Returns: Meema’s Skirt Is Not Battle Friendly

We were all captivated by the epic fighting scene between Nefertiri and Anck Su in The Mummy Returns. the battle display was breathtaking, but it wasn’t thought out entirely. While the two women went head to head, their skirts revealed a little too much of a brand of underwear we’re pretty darn sure didn’t exist back then.

Braveheart: Gibson’s Scottish Skirt Was Totally Premature

This movie is a classic. Who is not familiar with this critically-acclaimed film? It takes place in Scotland in the medieval period. While its appearance is quite iconic, the practice of wearing kilts didn’t start until the latter part of the 1600s.

Braveheart

Django Unchained: Sunglasses Didn’t Exist Yet

Tarantino surpassed many people’s expectations with this film. It is a revenge drama that takes place during the Civil War. Although it is quite popular, this Western film still has several flaws such as the titular character wearing sunglasses. The round sunnies were only mass-produced in 1929. Fans, however, don’t appear to mind, as evidenced by the comeback the iconic specs saw among audience members.

Django

The Untouchables: Lapels Didn’t Exist Yet

There is no doubt that this unparalleled gangster movie from the ‘80s remains a masterpiece. In spite of this, eagle-eyed members of the audience were able to find fault with the suit Costner sports as Agent Ness in The Untouchables. The suit in question has a lapel, but it only came into fashion a bit later.

The Other Boleyn Girl: Portman’s Hair Needs To Be Pulled Back

Tudor women donned a French hood to cover up their heads. In addition, they had to hide their hair underneath the hood besides having to pull it back. However, Scarlett Johansson’s and Natalie Portman’s mane are seen at particular moments in the film, making the garment seem like it was just a regular headband.

Saving Private Ryan: The Case Of The Black Boots

This film set the standard when it comes to modern war movies. The heartless can rightfully claim they weren’t moved by the film – we regular people cannot. However, the movie isn’t perfect. For example, Matt Damon sports black boots for most parts of the film. In real life, the same kind of boots weren’t worn until 10 years later, by the airborne.

Saving Private Ryan

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Telescope Didn’t Exist Yet

The characters Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner play in the film make use of a telescope in one scene. However, this should not have been possible because the telescope was invented in the 15th Century. Robin Hood’s tale takes place in the 1100s. This means the device’s introduction was centuries too early.

Robin Hood

Robin Hood

Catch Me If You Can: Braces Didn’t Exist Yet

This film has a star-studded cast, a rather exciting plot, and Steven Spielberg’s direction. Although there is a lot going for the movie, Frank Abagnale’s tale wasn’t told without errors. Amy Adam’s character, for example, sports braces even if the movie is set in 1963. In actual fact, the orthodontic device wasn’t introduced until the ‘70s.

The Tudors: Wearing Ruffs Is Scandalous

A lot of individuals would miss many errors in period movies set centuries ago. Nevertheless, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed a particular historical inaccuracy. It would have been particularly inappropriate for the women in the Tudor period to don a ruff without any undershirt. While it may have been a treat visually, it would not have been suitable in court.

The Tudors

Good Night and Good Luck: Name Tags Equal Nope

Nowadays, officers of the Military can be named without difficulty using the name tags they wear. In actual fact, the practice of donning name tags in the military had been put in place in the late 1960s. However, the military officers in the film still sported name tags even if it takes place in the early years of the ‘50s. It seems the movie overlooked this one.

Good Night And Good Luck

American Hustle: No Rolex Watches In The 70’s

Although the fast-paced feature of the movie might make it tough to catch errors, the more observant could still detect a rather minor inconsistency. It should have been impossible for Louis C. K. to sport a shiny Rolex because the film takes place in the ‘70s.

American Hustle

Amadeus: Mozart’ Sippers Didn’t Exist Yet

The movie gave us a chance to see what kind of life Mozart led in Austria in the 1700s. In spite of how beautiful the movie is, the fact that there are zippers on the elaborate costumes makes you wonder if its beauty can cover up this inaccuracy. The contraption wasn’t invented until more than a hundred years later.

Amadeus

The Color Purple: Clip-on Ties Didn’t Exist Yet

This film is adapted from Alice Walker’s novel which won a Pulitzer Prize. The movie was also able to earn critical acclaim, but it is worth noting that there is an inconsistency regarding the wardrobe. The clip-on tie Danny Glover used is inaccurate because it had yet to be invented during the story’s setting.

Gangs of New York: Firefighters Modern Uniforms Don’t Make Sense

The movie has a large cast. This helps in masking specific mistakes, but some people still found this particular error. Firefighters in the movie donned uniforms that were somewhat too modern in relation to the story’s time period.

Gangs Of New York

Back to the Future: This Guitar Didn’t Exist Yet

The film is universally-acclaimed. There is no doubt everybody had fun watching Marty McFly travel back in time and get smitten by his own mother. Even if the CGI wasn’t done well, this film has achieved the status of being a modern classic. However, it appears even the crew experienced some confusion because of all the time-travelling. In one scene set in 1955, Marty can be seen playing a solo using a Gibson. However, the model featured in the movie only came out in the year 1958.

Schindler’s List: Women Didn’t Shave Then

You’re most likely to find this movie topping the list of best films that have been ever made. The film has won many Academy Awards. Nevertheless, costume design was not one of them. This could probably be attributed to an error in the wardrobe. Questions have been raised about how the film’s female characters had been able to get rid of the hair on their legs as well as their armpits. While the practice is common these days, it is highly unlikely that concentration camp women were allowed the luxury.

Julius Caesar: Bullet Bras Didn’t Exist Yet

A fashion phenomenon which is unforgettable but should just stay in the 1950s is the bullet bra. At the time, ladies wearing a bullet bra was not uncommon. However, fashion norms in ancient Rome were certainly different. Thus, women characters in Julius Caesar shouldn’t have been wearing bullet bras. It was approximately two millennia too early for them to be able to use the garment.

My Girl: Mood-rings Didn’t Exist Yet

Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky certainly broke a lot of hearts across all ages when the film My Girl was released. The movie features a lot of iconic fashion pieces, one of which is Vada’s mood ring. Nevertheless, the film takes place in 1972, but the ring was introduced in 1975.

Sense and Sensibility: The Baby’s Diaper

This entry is from another Austen adaptation. On the whole, there’s no problem if a diaper can be seen in Sense and Sensibility. However, the material of the diaper seems to be too modern since it is more likely that Regency period diapers were made of cloth.

Sense And Sensibility

Singin’ In the Rain: A Pink Dress? No Chance

The remarkable Debbie Reynolds is no longer with us, but she’s been immortalized in Singin’ in the Rain. She portrayed the character Kathy Selden excellently. However, it is worth noting that the pink dress, which is iconic, didn’t quite belong to the ‘20s. It was a dress more fitting for the ‘50s.

Singin’ In The Rain

Singin’ In The Rain

The Doors: Ray Ban Sunglasses Didn’t Exist Yet

The movie is about the story of Jim Morrison’s life as well as the rock band that has become one of the greats of the ‘70s. Val Kilmer played the icon in the movie The Doors. He wore Ray-Ban sunglasses as he portrayed the legend in the film. In spite of the fact that they looked great, in reality, the style only came into fashion in the ‘80s. That was a bit too avant-garde, even if we’re talking about The Doors.

The Wedding Singer: Barrymore’s Haircut = 10 Years Later

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore being the king and queen of romantic comedies might ring true, but that doesn’t mean the duo are immune to inconsistencies. The Wedding Singer might be special in many people’s hearts, but it is worth noting that it actually has a wardrobe error. In spite of the fact that Drew Barrymore looked great in her hairstyle, it was more suitable for the ‘90s rather than the ‘80s.

The Wedding Singer

Picnic at Hanging Rock: Again Hair Makes The List

Picnic at Hanging Rock is a haunting depiction of girlhood during the 1900s. The old-world charm the white dresses held may have been perfect for the setting, but the hairstyles weren’t. The straight hair that was parted down the middle appeared to be more suited to the modern age. Face-framing tendrils as well as pinned up hair would’ve been so much more convincing.

Picnic At Hanging Rock

The Informant: Nike Golf Spikes Didn’t Exist Yet

Although they might’ve been an effective piece of product placement, the Nike golf shoes were quite an anachronistic detail. The movie is set in 1992, while the clothing brand released the golf spikes in 1996.

The Informant

The Last Samurai: Tom Cruise’s Armor Was Too Old

2003’s The Last Samurai stars Tom Cruise as an American officer in the military. In this period drama that takes place in 1870s Japan, Cruise’s character is hired to train the Japanese soldiers in more modern warfare. Also, he dons an armor that has created a lasting impression on audiences. However, in reality, the armor is two centuries and a half too old for the movie’s setting.

The Last Samuri

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Modern Sunglasses

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is another movie which meddles in the way that time works. Nevertheless, that does not give the film any excuse for wardrobe errors. In many scenes, Brad Pitt sports Ray-Ban sunglasses. They are definitely stylish, but they were introduced for the first time in 1952, which makes their existence in the movie’s setting of 1945 impossible.

Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the Black Pearl): Redcoats – No Such Thing Then

This is definitely not just an inaccuracy in wardrobe. The existence of the Red Coats in the film The Curse of the Black Pearl should have been impossible! The uniforms that the Royal Marines wore during that time had been a different set. However, in 1747, the unit came into existence, but that means their introduction in the movie was several decades too early.

Seabiscuit: Strapped Helmets Didn’t Exist Yet

In the movie, Toby Maguire portrayed the character of a jockey and he donned a strapped helmet which became fashionable in 1956. While the headwear made things memorable, it’s important to point out the fact that the film takes place during the period of the Great Depression.

The Ten Commandments: Nefertiri’s Dress Is Just Too Advanced

This epic religious film from 1956 is still viewed during the season of Lent. In addition to having several liberties regarding the plot, the wardrobe also saw many historical inconsistencies. Anna Baxter donned a dress with a beautiful blue color which would’ve been impossible to create at the time. Nevertheless, she made Nefertiti look arrestingly beautiful in the outfit.

Pretty Woman: Vivian’s Gown Changes Length

This one is rather noticeable, even if you’re not really that observant. Who doesn’t remember Vivian and Edward’s first kiss? Although the moment may seem flawless, it actually isn’t. At the beginning of the scene, Vivian can be seen wearing quite a long nightgown. Nevertheless, it becomes shorter as the scene is ending.

The Notebook: Lon’s Changing Hair Color

The OTP will always be Allie and Noah, but before Noah, Allie had been set to get married to Lon. In spite of the improvement in Lon’s war wounds, his hair seems to be going through something. The color changes many times in the film, from being brown to black.

There Will Be Blood: Waffle Shoes Didn’t Exist Then

This rags-to-riches story is about a miner who achieved success and eventually became an oil magnate in the year 1892. However, in There Will Be Blood, Day-Lewis wears waffle-soled boots that were only introduced almost a century after the film’s setting – in the 1970s.

Pompeii: No Purple Capes

Pompeii shows many characters donning purple capes. However, if they actually lived in ancient Rome, these people would have gotten executed. Why? A decree was set by infamous Emperor Nero that anybody who wore the color other than him would be put to death.

Pompeii

Ben Hur: The Star of David

The movie Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ is adapted from a novel penned by Lew Wallace in in the year 1880 and stars Jack Huston. Despite the impact made by the protagonist sporting the Star of David, this is actually inaccurate since it doesn’t match historical records. According to what is shown in evidence, the symbol wasn’t in use before the 1100s.

Ben Hur

Ben Hur

Unforgiven: Belt Loops

We’re letting this one go, but only because the movie is a masterpiece that deserves to be in the Western canon. It was under Clint Eastwood’s direction and stars himself, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman. This film takes place in Wyoming in the year 1880, so Gene Hackman having belt loops does not make any sense. It threw people for a loop since the belt loops only became the fashion norm in the Roaring Twenties.

Unforgiven

Unforgiven

Quadrophenia: Band Didn’t Exist Then

The film basically follows the British rockers’ ongoing rivalry with the mods during the ’60s. Why the movie made the list? Because one person can be seen donning a Motorhead t- shirt despite the fact that the band wasn’t formed until 1975. Actually, the film was also made in 1975. Still, you’d think filmmakers would pay more attention to these things because music is a very important part of the story.

The Great Escape: Trendy Clothes

Steve McQueen is, in fact, not immune and has an entry on the list. The movie depicts the experiences of the prisoners of war when they escape from Germany in the Second World War. Nevertheless, viewers might guess the film takes place in the 1990s owing to the khaki as well as cut-off shirts.

The Great Escape

Pretty Woman: Edward’s Tie

Here’s another entry from Pretty Woman. As Vivian watches I Love Lucy, she gets closer to Edward, undoes his tie, and then continues to watch TV. However, Edward’s tie can be seen fixed in the next shot, then undone again. Continuity must be hard work.

Where Eagles Dare: It’s The Hair

This is another film about the Second World War. While it features a great cast, it still has some inaccuracies. The movie stars Ingrid Pitt who looks amazing in her hairdo. However, the style is rather out of place since it is more fitting for the ‘60s but not the German waitress who is from the ‘40s.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Giddy Up

The film features a significant number of incredible headwear, but it’s pretty obvious cowboys were not a thing yet. The unwanted extra was rather conspicuous with his cowboy hat in the midst of numerous pirate hats.

Simply put: Robert Gross sporting frameless specs in The Aviator is a modern look which is unusual in the ‘20s.

The Mummy: Switching Sides

Protecting yourself from Imhotep’s priests is probably not that easy. In fact it must have been pretty difficult that the crew needed to take a few takes. As a result of taking many shots here, the actors suddenly appeared standing side by side in one shot and then in the opposite order for the next shot.

Zulu: Shaved Faces

Yes, the Zulu War with the British did happen. But what probably didn’t was the clean-shaving of faces on the British side. They rather preferred a good handlebar mustache that made them quite iconic during the 1870’s and 1880’s.

While Braveheart was an excellent movie, some “brave heart” dude could have easily ruined it by walking into the background. Judging by what he’s wearing we’re pretty certain that he wasn’t supposed to be part of the movie.

Gone With The Wind: Electric Cables

Gone With The Wind was one of the longest movies of all time… or at least this masterpiece felt that way. There are a couple of scenes where lampposts can be seen… only they are being generated by electrical cords – not quite suitable for the Civil War.

Star Wars: Knee Plate

You would think that something as great as Star Wars wouldn’t fall prey to movie bloopers, but here we are. In the scene where Darth Vader lifts a Rebel by his throat, the Stormtrooper in the back doesn’t have a knee guard… and then, voila, he does.

Fast Five: Camerman

It’s so difficult to make sure that no cameramen are visible in the shots taken by other cameras. Most times they get this right, and then there are times when they see the mistake only after the fact.

Isn’t Forrest Gump just such a heartwarming story? Well there was a small mistake that the filming crew missed while they were shooting. The iron in the background goes from standing up to facing down on the board. It’s not a big mistake, but a mistake nevertheless.

North By Northwest: Suspenseful Boy

Alfred Hitchcock takes the cake when it comes to suspense, but it was in North by Northwest that a young child took that suspense element out of the picture. While most of us didn’t notice it, a young boy is already blocking his ears from the gunshot that hadn’t gone off yet.
