To a director, the final cut of a movie or TV show doesn’t necessarily mean it’s final. Some of them might feel like they’ve made something great, but others see some glaring issues that they didn’t see during filming. We hear that reshoots can be a real pricey pain, so it seems like these directors just had to grin and bear it. 

Here are a few final cuts that, to some directors and eagle-eyed fans, will never quite feel so final…

Quantum of Solace

Pretty Woman

Movie Goofs Pretty Woman In the breakfast scene, watch out for Julia Roberts' pastry. It quickly switches from croissant to pancake, and then to an even different pancake. It's truly a movie about a call girl with a heart of gold and matter-transforming quantum powers. CRACKED.COM

The Wizard of Oz

Movie Goofs The Wizard of OZ When Dorothy has just met the Scarecrow, watch as her hair grows longer and shorter between shots. Listen, we have plenty of magic in our hearts, but only oversights in movie magic can explain that. CRACKED.COM

Independence Day

Movie Goofs Independence Day ART DEPT Jeff Goldblum trips and falls over during his drunken rant (we've all been there), and in the process knocks over a bin labeled art dept on the bottom. It this proof the Deep State is made up of theater kids? We're just asking questions! CRACKED.COM

North by Northwest

Movie Goofs North by Northwest Clearly the scene where Eva Marie Saint shoots Cary Grant was shot several times, because a kid behind her is having none of it. A few seconds before the gunshot, he covers his ears almost ruining the shot. CRACKED.COM

Basic Instinct

Movie Goofs Basic Instinct During the interrogation scene, Sharon Stone is smoking a cigarette which disappears as she's taking off her coat, only to return in the next shot. There are two goofs here: the vanishing cigarette, and anyone noticing a vanishing cigarette during this scene. CRACKED.COM

The Fast and the Furious

Movie Goofs The Fast and the Furious Baddie Johnny Tran is wearing a black shirt - but a fraction of a second later, he changes to a black tank top. Ugh, no wonder this movie never got a sequel. CRACKED.COM

American Sniper

CRACKED THE UNMISTAKABLY FAKE BABY. AMERICAN SNIPER It's painfully obvious that Chris' newborn is a doll. There are shots of Bradley Cooper jiggling the arm to make it seem like it's moving, which turns a would-be emotional scene into a comedy. Apparently the real baby had a fever that day.

Pirates of the Caribbean

THE KARATE KID LINDER FIGHTERN ALL VALLEY KARATE CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS SMITH VOAL VICAL FINALS LASTIENCE ALL VALLEY LAWRENCE CHAMPION EXPRESA LAWRENCE MALE REFEREE GROWN KNOWN LAMUSSO OFFICIAL The now-iconic crane kick was actually an illegal move because strikes to the face were not permissible.

The Goonies

CRACKED WHAT OCTOPUS? THE GOONIES While describing their adventure to a reporter, Data says the scariest part was the octopus. The octopus scene didn't make the final cut, so fans wondered what he meant. A 90's Disney Channel cut reinserted it, so it made sense for some viewers.
