Hunting Wives Fans Think They Spotted a Prop Error—Here’s the Truth

by

Fans of The Hunting Wives are out to solve another mystery.

Not long after the Netflix adaptation of May Cobb‘s popular novel, which revolves around a murder mystery in Texas, some sharp-eyed viewers pointed out an item appearing somewhat incongruous.

Among all the surprising aspects of ‘The Hunting Wives’ that left me astonished, it was this particular detail that truly took me aback,” a user shared on TikTok on August 2, posting a video clip showing protagonist Sophie O’Neil (played by Brittany Snow) opening her freezer to reveal a box of Kraft mac and cheese among the chicken nuggets and frozen vegetables. “Why is it that I tend to spot peculiarities in shows?

And it seems this user wasn’t the only one confused by what seemed to be an unmistakable Kraft box.

One user commented, “I’ve been eagerly expecting someone else to mention this,” and another said, “I thought I was the only one who noticed it!”.

Initially, viewers believed they found a mistake with a prop, but upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that the box was correctly positioned. Interestingly enough, it contained frozen meals, specifically breaded chicken nuggets and broccoli.

Despite being just a simple box of noodles, it ignited numerous discussions on social media, demonstrating that the events unfolding in this small Texas town continue to captivate viewers’ attention on their televisions.

As a passionate admirer, I can’t help but remark that the fervor surrounding this series seems to suggest some truly jaw-dropping content! It’s almost as if one could infer from these pearl-clutching reactions that we’re all witnessing something quite extraordinary. And, it appears, even the seemingly innocuous details like a character eating mac and cheese are not escaping our keen eyes.

Certainly, the series focuses on Sophie’s journey as she adapts to life in Maple Brook following her husband’s job relocation from Boston. However, when she encounters Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), head of an exclusive social circle, she develops an intense desire to conform to their high-class lifestyle.

As per Malin’s account, the series is full of drama, deceit, and haunting pasts, wrapping up with quite a surprising turn of events.

In an interview with People on July 28, she expressed her delight, saying “I never expected it!” due to its unexpected nature. She further added, “It’s astonishing! It’s absolutely mind-boggling, and it’s the irony of their actions that these women claim to uphold. The lengths they would go to safeguard their lives, careers, and reputation is something I’ve never witnessed before.

In a particular moment, Chad Michael Murray’s character, Lucas Scott, travels with Paul Johansson’s Dan Scott, and suddenly, Michael Copon’s character, Felix Taggaro, issues a challenge for a speed contest against Lucas.

However, for a fleeting instant, the performers in the Scotts’ vehicle appear to be swapped with their stunt counterparts – a substitution that you might easily overlook. Yet, once noticed, it can’t be unseen.

Towards the closing scenes of the film, it becomes apparent that Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) have swapped identities. Meanwhile, their younger brother Harry (Ryan Malgarini) is observed having a disagreement with their grandfather (Harold Gould), and they both receive a similar prophecy.

Before they both meet a similar end, they are suddenly brought down to the ground. It appears that the actor depicting Harry in this particular scene is not the young star who has been seen in the film thus far. Rather, an adult stunt performer takes on the role for this instance.

In the February 19 episode of the HBO drama, as Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) approached a snow-covered bridge, several enigmatic individuals could be seen from afar.

User A found this episode fantastic on X, but suggested it could be improved by fixing a minor issue before re-posting. In one shot, the film crew is visible.

 

In season 9, episode 15 of the TV series “The One With The Mugging,” there is a scene where the camera focuses on Joey, portrayed by Matt LeBlanc, with what appears to be Rachel, usually played by Jennifer Aniston, in the backdrop. However, it’s not actually Jennifer Aniston; instead, it’s her stand-in, and only half of her face can be seen peeking past Joey.

In the ninth season’s fourth episode titled “The One With The Sharks,” the understudy for Jennifer reappears in the final version of the show. At about 12 and a half minutes into the episode, a character with curly hair, who is supposed to be Rachel, is seen sitting at the kitchen table wearing yellow. Later, when the camera focuses on the table again, it’s clear that Jennifer’s stand-in, now with straight hair, has replaced her and is wearing a blue shirt.

In the third season of the popular Netflix series, Drew Starkey’s character Rafe and Madison Bailey’s character Kie are depicted running away from Vaux Hall. However, an interesting twist occurs as their characters are portrayed by two actors, one noticeably older than the actual actor, particularly the one playing Rafe.

As a lifestyle expert, I must share an intriguing detail from the show that caught my eye – scenes involving Jonathan Daviss’ character, Pope, and Carlacia Grant’s Cleo, where they hopped onto a motorcycle together. While it appeared authentic, eagle-eyed viewers like myself might have noticed a subtle discrepancy: Pope’s stunt double was bald compared to Daviss himself.

Similarly, during a scene featuring Kie and Rudy Pankow’s character, JJ, they were spotted riding a bike together. However, some may have observed an unexpected difference in their hair color – with Pankow’s JJ sporting a hue that wasn’t quite his usual.

In the 2000 Christmas movie adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ book, titled the same as the original, the Grinch’s eyes transition from their usual yellowish-green hue to a more realistic brown, similar to Jim Carrey’s real eye color, before returning to their original shade.

Each time I view The Grinch, I spot a minor oversight – it seems they neglected to add his contact lenses, or perhaps they missed this detail during post-production. This results in Jim Carrey’s natural brown eyes being visible instead.

 

In the fifth episode of “The Bear’s” third season, there’s a scene featuring Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) sporting his wedding ring on his left hand. But following a quick break in the action, he’s no longer seen wearing the gold band.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’m always attentive to even the tiniest details in my favorite shows. Recently, on X, a viewer commented that they noticed a continuity error: one scene depicted a character wearing a wedding ring, but upon returning to the same character later, there was no sign of the ring. It’s these inconsistencies that can sometimes disrupt my immersion in the storyline.

 

As an ardent admirer and TikTok enthusiast, I stumbled upon a fascinating find during a rewatch of the iconic series, Gossip Girl, which graced our screens from 2007 to 2012. In one episode, the stunning socialite, Serena van der Woodsen, portrayed by none other than Blake Lively, was impeccably dressed—from the neck up, it seemed as if there might have been a sneaky editing oversight.

Instead, the camera pulls back to show that she seems to be donning casual drawstring pants over her dress, which hangs loosely from her knees.

The TV show ‘Gossip Girl’ felt very authentic by allowing its entire cast to don casual attire like sweatpants and Uggs, as one TikTok user commented, implying that there was more behind the scenes.

Not long after Sarah Jessica Parker’s sitcom debuted on Netflix in 2024, a user on TikTok identified a continuity issue in the third episode of the show.

Initially, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wears a deep V-neck green halter dress in the hallway before joining Carrie (SJP) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) at a party. However, as they step through the door into the event, her dress mysteriously changes color to blue.

 

Supporters of the 2008 vampire film featuring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner can’t seem to get their fill of revisiting the mistakes (or bloopers) in it.

In one instance, you can catch a glimpse of the film crew mirrored in Edward’s car window while he is driving, and there’s also a small mistake where his character shuts the trunk of the vehicle two times within the same scene.

There are also occasions in which the leading lady was subject to a few inaccuracies herself. 

During Bella’s recovery in the hospital following the climactic battle with James and Edward, the nasal cannula attached to her face shifts positions several times, at one instance even partially obscuring an eye. Additionally, a lamp placed on a table beside Edward’s visitor’s chair is moved to various spots.

Before the final episode of season 48 for the reality competition series, there was speculation among fans that CBS may have unintentionally revealed the outcome in a preview clip. This featured Joe Hunter, Eva Erickson, Kyle Fraser, Kamilla Karthigesu, and Mitch Guerra in a heated competition.

In one clip, Mitch seemed to be walking among a few members of the ousted jury members.

One TikTok user noted that upon closer inspection, it’s unmistakably Mitch. We all figured as much, but it’s astonishing how they gave away the secret in a promotional video.”

This paraphrasing maintains the original meaning while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

Spectators also noted another potential spoiler involving Kamilla. She appeared adorned with a necklace signifying immunity, implying that Kamilla could be one of the last three contestants vying for the million-dollar award.

It matches my expectations and wishes, yet I can’t help but feel a bit more was expected from Survivor, to be honest. At least it’s a relief not to know which immunity challenge Kamilla will win.

During the seventh season of the Peacock dating show, some viewers started to express doubts about the editing techniques used.

It turned out that a user posted a clip from the show on TikTok, featuring Islander Clarke Carraway wearing a black bikini and relaxing around the villa. However, shortly afterwards, the camera switched to her in a brown one-piece swimsuit, implying that the video might have been taken at a different time.

In a different part of the interaction between TJ Palma and Vanna Einerson, viewers spotted an intriguing moment: what appeared to be a change in the color of Vanna’s drinking glass, as she transitioned from sipping an orange drink to using a glass of teal hue.

“I just wanna know,” a user commented on TikTok, “what’s happening in between.”

 

Call it a commemoration?

Despite quickly becoming Netflix’s most-watched movie when it debuted towards the end of 2021, directed by Adam McKay, there were whispers about the film for an unexpected reason. When a viewer noticed a crew wearing masks in a fleeting scene, many believed it was an editing oversight.

However, hold on—as per McKay, that particular frame was intentionally included in the final edit to portray the unique experience of filming during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December, Adam posted on Twitter, “We intentionally included that unusual scene segment as a tribute to our peculiar filming process,” using the hashtag “#DontLookUp.” (paraphrased)

Hello there! Despite the movie not winning the Best Editing Oscar, it was at least nominated, which means everything turned out alright in the end. Just remember to keep your eyes peeled as we watch it.

In January 2022, over two decades after the initial release of the first movie, the eagerly awaited reunion special, “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts,” premiered on HBO Max. Given the long wait for this magical event, it’s no surprise that viewers didn’t skip a beat while watching it.

In the end, it turned out that one spectator spotted the mistake within a blink of an eye: an image at the start of the special, which was supposed to be Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the series), was actually a picture of Emma Roberts by mistake.

Following the mistake going viral on social media, the team behind the reunion special acknowledged and corrected the error in a statement to TopMob News: “Thank you, observant Harry Potter fans! You’ve pointed out an editing oversight involving a mislabeled photo. The updated version is now available.

Indeed, another photograph issue was noticed in the Harry Potter reunion special post-airing – but let’s be honest, given that it concerned identical twins, it’s not hard to see why there might have been some confusion.

It was revealed in an error that Oliver Phelps, famed for portraying George Weasley in the adored movie series, was incorrectly identified as his brother James Phelps in the HBO Max special.

He implied that after many years of playing pranks, someone finally took revenge, which he shared on Instagram along with a screenshot of the incident. However, he made it clear there were no hard feelings, expressing his joy about being part of the Harry Potter reunion and hoping everyone had a great time.

Apart from enjoying the mistake, Tom Felton, famously known for his role as the villain Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, jokingly admitted, “I caused it. #weaslebee #backtohogwarts.

In the fourth season of the popular HBO show “Game of Thrones”, viewers were taken aback by an unexpected sight – amidst the usual metal and wooden cutlery, they noticed what appeared to be a very contemporary Starbucks cup.

In reaction to the well-known 2019 incident, HBO admitted that the cup visible in the episode was an oversight, stating, “The coffee-like object in the scene was a mix-up.” With a touch of humor, they also mentioned about Emilia Clarke‘s character, “Daenerys had actually requested herbal tea instead.

Alas, if you’re looking for it now, the cup has been edited out from the episode.

In the 1300s, the 1995 movie Braveheart depicted Sir William Wallace, portrayed by Mel Gibson, rising as a significant figure during the First Scottish War of Independence. However, audiences were taken aback when they spotted a white vehicle parked at the edge of a battlefield in one scene, since cars had not been invented until much later in the 19th century.

Despite being shorter than two seconds long, the shot provided a clear indication of the era they were actually filming.

A hit movie that was released around the turn of the century and takes place during ancient times, such as Gladiator, often features actors dressed in costumes appropriate for war or typical of that era since it is set in 180 AD.

Until spectators realized, in just a brief moment, a man could be seen among the Colosseum audience, dressed casually in a simple white t-shirt and jeans – clothing items that likely weren’t available for common use during the Roman Empire era.

When the 2019 musical film, based on the 1981 stage version, made its debut, the talented cast consisting of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, and James Corden sparked anticipation for some fresh tunes.

Despite receiving criticism from critics, the movie had some flaws that were highlighted, particularly in the visual effects and editing. For instance, viewers spotted an error where Judi’s hand, quite visibly human, appeared out of her digitally generated cat body. Notably, The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that director Tom Hooper made improvements to subsequent versions of the film soon after its premiere.

In the 2002 film “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” the character Éomer was portrayed by Karl Urban, with one exception spotted by some fans towards the end. While Karl’s character is supposed to be riding a horse alongside his fellow characters, it turns out that the face shown in the final cut belonged to his stunt double instead.

In the commentary for the film provided by WhatCulture, Peter Jackson confessed that they hadn’t managed to swap the face in time before the movie was released to the public.

In the third episode of season three of “Emily in Paris,” there’s a quick editing mistake that might be easy to overlook. When boss Madeline (Kate Walsh) instructs Emily (Lily Collins) to go back to Chicago, Emily looks out the window and sees not one but two Eiffel Towers. The first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower appears briefly on Emily’s left side, only to reappear outside the window on her right. Wow, isn’t that strange?

At the social gathering during season five of the Netflix reality show, Christine Quinn made a striking entrance in a vibrant pink gown and a pastel blue accessory adorning her hair. Yet, just moments later, the self-styled series antagonist was spotted donning a substantial pink hat that coordinated with her dress. Without a doubt, she managed to capture everyone’s attention.

One viewer commented on X, saying, “Christine’s hat didn’t change during the scene, which was quite amusing lmao,” while another criticized, “The continuity editor for this show seems to be lacking in skill.
