favourite movie mistake of all time

[REDDRAGON]

come on people what is your favourite movie mistake?
mine has to be the storm trooper smacking his head on the door in star wars! Brilliant!

[Kal]

Predator - Carl weathers all too obvious "not completely amputated" arm, haha I pissed myself at that one.

[QUENTIN]

Those scenes in The Waterboy when Adam Sandler is on screen...whew, if that wasn't the biggest mistake ever...

Ebert pointed this one out in his review of "The Mummy Returns":

"I have written before of the ability of movie characters to outrun fireballs. In "The Mummy Returns," there is a more amazing feat. If the rising sun touches little Alex while he is wearing the magical bracelet, he will die (it is written). But Rick, carrying Alex in his arms, is able to outrace the sunrise; we see the line of sunlight moving on the ground right behind them. It is written by Eratosthenes that the Earth is about 25,000 miles around, and since there are 24 hours in a day, Rick was running approximately 1,041 miles an hour."

In A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: DREAM WARRIORS... When the girl (I can't remember her name) is swinging her numchucks (spelling?) around. They show the front of her and then the back of her. the front and back both have a little different color of hair and you can tell it's a stunt double. It's so funny... My cousing and I noticed this and laughed our asses off...

Probably from gladiator where they are on the battle fields at the beggining with the fight against Germainia and there is a man spotted in the background wearing jeans.
This is too blantent, now had i been ridley scott i would have put him in there wearing jeans as a laugh to see if any sad case noticed it.
If this was actually a mistake and he did actually get filmed wearing jeans by accident then thats is just plain stupid

Mike - that was actually ANOES- 4 Dream Master. Alice Johnson, played by Lisa Wilcox...

[JoBlo]

I hope Ebert was just having a little fun at the filmmakers expense with that comment, because I don't REALLY believe that anybody who watched the movie thought that was real. I mean, it's an action movie...what were they supposed to do...show the dude walking into the pyramid before sundown?

I think it was definitely a preposterous scenario but it worked in the movie and I think that's all that really matters. Or maybe that's just me! [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

[Mike]

Oh man,
how could I be so stupid, I always get those two mixed up, I knew it was Dream Master!
Duh!!! Thanks for correcting me Betty...

The Doors: Taking payote in the desert.
NEVER HAPPENED PEOPLE
But damn was it trippy

The stormtrooper banging his head in Star Wars.

[Irene Manor]

CITIZEN KANE:

If Kane died alone, then how the hell did anyone know his "last dying word" was "Rosebud"?

[A Canadian ThereWolf]

The kid plugging his ears too early in "North By Northwest".
Im-Mo-Tehp can see just fine with a guy who badly needs glasses eyes, in "The Mummy".
Mr. Pink running by the same building at least three times in "Reservoir Dogs", reminded me of a cartoon!

[James Logan]

The stormtrooper bumping his head in Star Wars. And the "faster than the sun" running stuff in THE MUMMY RETURNS (I mean, Superman could do that, but Rick O'Conell...)

[neco82]

Gandhi had one mistake I always found funny.

At the beginning when Gandhi is with all his followers this guy comes up and shoots him in the chest. In the next scene they're carrying his body and the bullet wound is in his forehead.

Well, I saw it a long time ago, so correct me if I'm wrong.

[TheNuke]

In Res Dogs, amoung the phantom bullet and Pink's cartoon running here is an even more obvious blooper that people seem to miss. Marvin Nash's fickle leg. We see nash with his legs bound with tape. Then Blondie pours gasoline on him and Nash kicks at Blondie. Next shot with Blondie mocking Nash, Nash has his legs bound again.

[A Canadian ThereWolf]

The camera crew reflection in the car door on "Dazed & Confused", when they stop for beer.
Greg commenting on Denny smoking pot, the night before he actually met him in "Meet The Parents". (On the surveillance video, at the end.)
Also TheNuke, didja notice after the torture scene in "ResDogs" when "Stuck in the Middle With You" is done playing, nothing else comes on the radio? And no one turned it off.
"Battlefield Earth", was that not the biggest movie mistake ever or what?

[tomit2000]

Just to point out, that isn't a bullet wound on Ghandi's forehead, its a Bindhi, a sacred symbol of the Hindu faith

[Danny L]

I've heard that you can see the young Mr Spielburger CLEARLY in the backseat somewhere in "Duel". Dunno if this is just the letterbox version of the movie - does anybody know?

[Bart Simpson]

In Episode 1 you can clearly see that Ewan McGregor has his thumb covering where the lightsaber should be.

In the Matrix, when they are walking down "the streets of New York city" but all the signs are from Sydney, Australia

[Toby]

In Cronenberg's "Shivers" there's a fight scene in wich you can see a guy's toupet come loose and flip up!! You have to freeze frame to see it. It's hilarious!! [img]/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

A MONDO-HUGE but little knows mistake is in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE during the dinner scene between Raymond Shaw, Josie Jordan, and Senator Jordan. Raymond puts a piece of steak in his mouth and for some reason the film backtracks so that it appears that he has taken the bite back out of his mouth completely unchewed...its hilarious and appears on the VHS version. I don't know if this class flub has been edited on the DVD.
