4. The Fake Baby (American Sniper)
via:Warner Brothers
American Sniper was one of the best movies of 2014 – but, for some people at least, the whole thing was ruined by one scene with an incredibly obviously fake baby (well, it’s obvious once you’ve been told it’s fake at the very least – go take a look!). The scene shows Bradley Cooper‘s Chris Kyle and his wife –Sienna Miller‘s Taya Renae Kyle – passing their baby back and forth. And it’s awful.
It’s so fake and so incorrectly weighted that the actors look uncomfortable using it. Cooper even uses his own thumb to animate its arm (see the arrow above)! While it was undoubtedly a mistake to have used it, director Clint Eastwood claimed that one real baby they were going to use was sick with a fever and another didn’t show up. Still, you’d think they’d have found another!
