Even usual Hollywood films, despite their meticulousness end up goofing up in pivotal scenes. We take you through few of the recent ones

The two kings in this story are set in the Middle Ages, which ended in 1453. Interestingly enough, both are often addressed as Majesty when the first monarch addressed as Majesty was Charles IV, King of Spain, who reigned in the 16th century.
