Zippers weren’t invented yet

Here are a few of the most famous bloopers from Love Me Tender that will surely make you smile:

First, there’s the moment when the Reno brothers try to convince some former soldiers to hand over the money. They disarm the three men, but if you watch carefully, the camera angles flip-flop between a guy hiding his gun under his jacket, then suddenly it’s exposed, then — whoops! — it’s back under his jacket again.

Then, in a scene where a Confederate soldier zips up a pair of pants that were clearly taken off Northern soldiers… except, fun fact, zippers weren’t invented yet. Guess we’ve got a little time-travel magic happening on set!

And don’t miss the part where Cathy Reno is crying at the window. In the background, there’s a car parked — an anachronistic surprise in a film set in the 1860s.

Lastly, during the song ”We’re Gonna Move,” Elvis is supposed to be strumming his guitar, but when he takes his hands off it, guess what? The guitar sound still plays. Maybe he was really channeling his inner ghost guitarist?

All these little hiccups only add to the charm of this classic Elvis film! Be sure to share this article so others can discover these delightful, forgotten Elvis details! You can catch the film here:
