That's usually noticeable on older films, where elements shot against a green or blue screen backdrop were composited into the frame. Compositing has since improved in this digital era, but back then, it had to be done photochemically.
You'll see the "green or blue box," which usually goes through a process called garbage matting, which cuts out part of the frame to remove equipment and reduce the amount of backdrop, in films like Star Wars, as well. I believe you can also see it around Stay Puff's foot at one point.
You'll also find scenes where the matte doesn't match up with the live action footage too well.
