Don’t Forget About the Tin Man
Year: 1939
Mistake: The Tin Man actually unties the hot air balloon
Movie mistakes aren’t confined to a specific era; they’ve been sprinkled throughout both older and newer films, each with its unique charm. Take the timeless musical fantasy The Wizard of Oz from 1939, for instance. It’s a Hollywood classic cherished by generations, yet it hides one of the more conspicuous blunders if you know where to look.
The moment unfolds when Dorothy, torn between leaving with the Wizard and staying with Toto, makes her heartfelt plea. As the Wizard starts to ascend in his hot air balloon, the shock on everyone’s faces is palpable. But if you pay close attention, there’s a sly culprit in the midst of the scene – the Tin Man, who, unbeknownst to the others, decides to lend a helping hand by discreetly untying the rope that anchors the balloon.
