43 Laughably Fake Movie And TV Moments That Completely Took People Out Of It

Recently, Reddit user Behind_Th3_8_Ball asked about props that ruined a movie, and a bunch of people chimed in with the wildly fake movie moments that always bother them. Here are 43 fake-looking things from movies that I can't believe made it onto the screen.

We also used some examples from r/MovieMistakes.

1. This garbage can from Independence Day, which literally says "art department" on it:

2. This extremely obvious fake baby from American Sniper:

"I don't understand this shot. Why they didn't just shoot at an angle where you can only see the prop from the back? That way, you can still capture Bradley's emotions and not disclose that it was a prop."

"A blanket around the baby's shoulders would have gone a long, long way. What were they thinking??!?!"
