Carry-On viewers spot major blunder in Netflix's Christmas blockbuster
Netflix's latest blockbuster has caused a stir among film fans. Action thriller Carry-On is the work of director Jaume Collet-Serra, and stars Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler and Logan Marshall-Green. The film follows a transportation security agent, played by Taron, who is blackmailed into smuggling dangerous items on a flight on Christmas Eve.
While the film has proven popular, fans have been quick to point out a huge blunder in two scenes involving a baby. A TikTok user shared a clip of the moment on the platform, which showed the baby's appearance seemingly changing in between scenes.
The video racked up over 100,000 responses with many confused by the mistake. The TikTok user said in the clip: "Baby - brown hair with booty socks, blue top with reindeer things, moms got the beige trench coat."

The scene then changed, with the user adding: "Look at that bald a** baby - that's a different baby. Haired-baby - bald a** baby. That child's confused because he wasn't in the last scene. They don't even know where the movie's headed."
Others reacted to the blunder in the comments, with one person saying: "Netflix really said no one will notice," while another pointed out a change in another character, saying: He got a haircut in the plane.'
A third fan joked: "He was wearing a [wig] come on," and a fourth said: "'I literally just finished this movie and I didn't even notice that!" Someone else agreed, adding: "I definitely did not notice this but i did watch the movie today and really liked it! now I'm going to go watch die hard."
While the TikTok user highlighted the huge error, they also praised Carry-On as "very enjoyable", adding to the rave reviews the film has received. The movie has been branded "exciting" and a must-watch during the festive period.
Writing for The Wrap, William Bibbiani said: "There are about two minutes in that are as exciting as any other action movie this year, and about 100 minutes that are pretty fun too." Elsewhere, Pramit Chatterjee in Digital Media Talkies wrote: "Carry-On is the best Christmas movie of the year."
Carry-On landed on Netflix on 13 December and earned more views during its first week than any other film released on Netflix in 2024. The film has a rating of 88 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Carry-On is available to stream on Netflix now.
