Yeah, there are some surprising slipups in films, even given the extensive shooting schedule that usually includes hundreds of small, noncontiguous takes. I remember a horrible Italian gladitorial movie from the 1950s, set in Ancient Rome, that plainly showed telephone poles in the background. And there was even a Laurel and Hardy feature where the director's clapboard (that old standby, a small slate with the take info on it, and a striped bar that "clacks" at the beginning of shoot) lying on a table in full view!
