6. A Cowboy in the Caribbean Sea

Movie/Show: Pirates of the Caribbean
Mistake: Man wearing cowboy hat behind Johnny Depp
Year: 2003

Johnny Depp’s swashbuckling adventure took an unexpected turn when a cowboy hat-wearing extra was spotted in the background of a Caribbean sea scene. Clearly, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is no stranger to fantastical elements, but this cowboy’s unexpected cameo added a whole new layer of intrigue. 

Did Captain Jack Sparrow inadvertently stumble into a time-space portal that transported him from the Wild West to the high seas? Or perhaps this was a clever easter egg for those who like to imagine alternate realities colliding in the world of cinema. Either way, it’s a blunder that left fans eagerly awaiting the next Pirates adventure and a potential cowboy crossover.
