Sex and the City fan spots baffling mistake in the intro which no one noticed

Sex and the City may have come to an end in 2004, but that doesn't stop the show's loyal fans from watching re-runs and picking up on blunders they hadn't noticed before.

One eagle-eyed viewer has spotted a massive error in the show's intro while binge-watching the hit 90s comedy and took to TikTok to share their find with others.

For those unfamiliar with the opening shot, Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) is seen walking around New York City when she appears to get splashed by a passing bus.

However, the Sex and the City super fan noticed two mistakes in the scene.

Firstly, the bus soaks Carrie by driving through a puddle next to the pavement.

However, when we next see the vehicle, it's miles away from the pavement which means it's unlikely to have managed to splash Carrie.

Secondly, a close-up shot of the bus shows it full of passengers in one shot, but as it turns the corner it's completely empty.

The editing suggests the vehicle has driven just a short distance, meaning it's unlikely any of the passengers would have gotten off at a stop.

In the clip, which was posted on TikTok by Kara McLean, the fan said: "In this one here, what you've got to look out for is the bus that goes past her.

"I mean first off, are we meant to think it's the bus that's splashed her? Because it's well away from the curb when we next see it."

She added: "When we see it in close up, there are people on this bus. There they are, they're having a lovely day out in New York city.

"But where have they gone? There's no people on that bus anymore. Was this an early blip?"

Sex and the City fans will soon be treated to the release of season two of And Just Like That..., which is a spin-off of the original show.

In the upcoming season, Kim Cattrall will reprise her role as Samantha Jones for a small cameo after initially turning down the opportunity to take part.
