Nothing beats eagle-eyed fans.
Starbucks coffee in Westeros? A man in blue jeans is in the middle of a light sword fight The Madalorian? If these sounds strange and out of place, that’s because they are. However, due to production errors, they actually ended up making on-screen cuts in countless historical programs on television.
But it’s hard to go unnoticed since nothing escapes eagle-eyed audiences. Recently, a scene appeared in season 4 of the Netflix series Bridgerton It sparked a reaction after fans noticed Katie Leung’s character wearing a bandage over her ear, apparently to cover an ear piercing which she was unlikely to have in the Regency era. I think the exact workaround did not fool the public.
Despite the missteps, the shows have highlighted the mishaps by joking about them on social media, and the actors have spoken out and/or even donated to charities because of it. less, Hollywood Reporter Takes a look at some of the mishaps that have occurred at shows including Bridgerton, Downton Abbey, mad men And more.
Bridgerton: First aid lines and parking

In the opening scenes of the first season, the audience can see horse-drawn carriages on a gravel road. However, the street has been noted to have yellow parking lines, which reportedly did not first appear in the UK until the 1950s. Moving on to Season 4, Katie Leung — who plays Araminta, Sophie Paik’s (Yrin Ha) stepmother — appears in the first episode with a small, colorful bandage on her left ear. Although they are supposed to be used to cover the hole, the problem is that these bandages did not exist during that period.

In the fourth episode of the HBO series finale game of thrones Last season, fans were surprised when they noticed a Starbucks coffee cup near Emilia Clarke’s character Daenerys Targaryen. Addressing the incident at the time, HBO said in a statement: “The latte featured in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys requested an herbal tea.” Starbucks also made fun of it through a tweet. “TBH, we’re surprised she didn’t order a Dragon drink,” read the post from the coffee chain’s official handle. HBO later edited The Coffee Cup Error from all rebroadcasts on the platform.
“Downton Abbey”: Water Bottle Gate

At the time, the HBO series, set in the 1920s, released a promotional image that included a plastic water bottle in the background, something that clearly not everyone in the early 20th century drank from. The cast mocked the snafu in a social media post where they all posed with a water bottle with the caption: “The #Downton cast embraced the ‘water bottle gate’ today.” The post also included a link to the non-profit organization Water Aid UK, which aims to provide access to safe drinking water and sanitation globally. Another error discovered at the beginning of the season was during the opening scene in which the rooftop appears TV antenna.

I thought so mad men,string, let’s say, wet In toxic masculinity, that would make football right. An episode in 1968 scuppered the NFL’s plans, as it referred to the championship game as the Super Bowl. There was just one problem: The big game wouldn’t be called the Super Bowl until 1969.
“M*A*S*H”: Avengers of the 1970s?

The show itself aired throughout the 1970s — yes, it was another recipe for easy continuity errors. This time, Radar (Gary Burghoff) was in his bed with a gun Avengers Comic book. Not only were Radar comics from the 1960s and 1970s, but the Avengers didn’t first assemble until a decade after the end of the Korean War.

One dude saw a man in jeans relaxing in the background of a shootout scene involving Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), and The Mandalorian himself (Pedro Pascal). Although Jeans Guy instantly became a Star Wars fan favorite, it has since been digitally erased from Disney+. Jeans Guy wasn’t the only thing not to be seen in the series: The MandalorianThe fourth episode of the s saw a booming microphone intrude on a crucial scene.
