I thought there already was a post for this but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I was watching T2 again the other night and noticed a fucking huge mistake. Near the end, when Arnold get his arm jammed in the wheel and breaks it off, when he pulls away, you can see his huge fucking real arm just chillin' with a black stocking on it. I can't believe I never noticed that. It's still a great flick and definitely kicks T3's ass, but that's a big fuck-up. Any other flicks with noticeable flubs? Don't list too many at once please. MAH!

The third arm should have never been seen - I'm guessing you weren't watching the widescreen version of T2, a Super35 movie:

Just another example proving that letterboxing is superior. Formatting this movie to fit your screen leaves it vulnerable to mistakes like this - stuff making it into the frame that shouldn't be there.

Letterboxing is superior, and that is the version I watched, in all of it's 2:35 ratio glory. Formatting this movie to tv screens does leave it vulnerable. But seeing his big fat arm on the letterboxed version, there's just no excuse for that. MAH!

One mistake that I think has been mentioned before, but still always focus on is during the canal chase, the window on the T-1000's semi truck disappears and reappears

in the beginning of Serendipity when the camera is panning down from the sky to the ground, when it's going down the buildings you can see the camera and crane in the windows really bad

Spoilers for THE UNTOUCHABLES ensue:


In Sean Connery's death scene, in the shot outside the window, you can see the camera and the track rig in the reflection on the glass, really obviously.

Glaidiator

The part where Crowe feeds a horse an apple, you can see a man in blue jeans try to sneek out of the picture, just below the horse's jaw.

In Speed, when the bus goes over the big gap, as it lands, there is a slow motion shot from the front of the bus and all that you see is the stuntman strapped down with some serious harnesses and an empty bus. Whoa!

Just saw Matchstick Men recently, and noticed a continuity mistake. When Cage is waiting to see his daughter for the first time, he has a cigarette in his mouth. Quick shot to show his hand turning on the car and he has the cigarette in his hand. Back to the shot of his face and the cig is back in his mouth. Turns off the car with cig in hand again. Now I know you can say that he just took the cig out of his mouth when he turns the car on and off, but the way that it's cut, doesn't flow right. Plus the fact the his cig is halfway smoked in one angle and almost new from another angle. MAH!

There's a hideous one in 'The Jackal'...the Russian bird is sat on a snazzy car smoking a fag.

I can't recall the exact details but she definitely sparked it up twice, and the length of the ciggie changed more times than Richard Gere's shitty fucking accent.

Funny. Speaking of a Bruce Willis movie, in Die Hard 2, in the beginning, there is a scene of the terrorists sitting at a table. The black guy gets up and reaches down to pick up a box, but it is a white hand that picks it up. MAH!

In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn) seems to be having some serious camera trouble;

One minute he's holding a silver digital camcorder,
The next he's holding a black Nikon camera,
And then the next minute he's seen taking out the silver digital camcorder again!

It's during the scene where Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) says; "Ooh-ahh, that's how it starts"

In Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, near the end during Ace's (Jim Carrey) rant to Vincent Cadby (Simon Callow) in his trophy room, the chess pieces on the board magically disappear in a moment!

In Speed, when the bus is making that hard right and ends up on two wheels, in one shot you can see the hydrolic wheel lifting the bus up. MAH!

in Titanic when Rose is going to jump off of the boat, it shows multiple shots of her feet and in each shot it changes from having shoes on, to not having shoes on.

In Reservoir Dogs when they're showing a flashback of the robbery, Mr. Pink runs by the same building more than once. Almost like a cartoon! :D

Early one in Reservoir Dogs, during a conversation with Mr. White & Mr. Pink, they both decide to have a cigarette, Mr. White lights Mr. Pinks, but can't quite get his lit so he simply pretends to smoke it!

The amount of ice cream on Sookie's spoon changes in Igby Goes Down.

In Aliens, after Bishop was ripped in half, when he reaches for Newt as she's almost sucked into space, you can see his real body going under the floor. MAH!!!
