Movie mistakes/misc.

[niteowl]

In Top Gun during the dog fight, you see the F/14 fire three missiles from one side. Also you see the F/14's wings swept back then in the next angle, their fully extended.


In Terminator 2 watch the helicopter scene carefully. you see the T1000 fly the copter with one hand while you see two more hands reloading the machine gun.

In Terminator 2 watch the helicopter scene carefully. you see the T1000 fly the copter with one hand while you see two more hands reloading the machine gun.

The T1000 is made up of "liquid metal" and can therefore have as many fricking hands as it will generate. So technically, this is not a mistake at all.

That's why it's mistakes/miscellenious( however you spell it)

I saw a website once that was dedicated to mistakes. It had multiple pages on every show and movie. Too long ago to remember the address though...

In Ben Hur,some of the chairiot drivers are wearing wrist watches

 

[Osiris]

In Ben Hur,some of the chariot drivers are wearing wrist watches

Were they Timex, and are they still ticking?

In Lord of the Rings part 1, there are cars driving by in the background of a couple of fight scenes.

In Mony Python and the Holy Grail, there are numerous gaffs put in on purpose, such as a train going by in the background.

In VIP, Pam Anderson had a body double for the close up work. Pam is actually a 32A.

In Troy, Orlando Bloom had a body double for the love scene with Helen. I think it was Peter North.

In X-Men, the actors and actresses don't really have special powers. It's really fancy CGI animation to make it look real.

I could go on...

One of the funniest is in Rocky 3 where in the "dream" after the first Clubber Rocky fight, they show him wearing the shorts he wears in the FINAL fight...

One of the funniest intentional mistakes, that hardly anyone notices, is in Catch 22 when Yossarian in a meeting room with Maj. Major Major and as the camera pans back and forth, the picture on the wall goes from Franklin Roosevelt to Winston Churchill to Joseph Stalin.

 

[niteowl]

Ok this one is from tv.

In the show Due South where it's suppose to take place in Chicago there was a scene where Paul Gross was chasing a car in a junkyard and he jumps on top of a wreck just when the suspects was leaving the yard and you see a Canada Post vehicle drive by in the background.

In Brokeback Mountain .... the whole goddamn thing was a mistake.

IMO still one of the best sites on the web.....probably check it out a couple of times a day (no wonder I have all sorts of useless trivia cramming my brain )

Catch 22

Brutally funny (and serious) movie and IMO far better then the original MASH and doesn't get nearly enough respect. The book is pretty good as well!

In Brokeback Mountain .... the whole goddamn thing was a mistake.

You didn't like the film's tag line? "Everybody ropes, Everybody rides"



As for good movie mistakes...from The Usual Suspects (which is still one of the greatest movies made) When the second plane (747) is about to land, watch the engines. When you see the back of the plane, you see that the plane has lost two of the engines and turned into a 767.

If you rent the SE DVD they've edited out that mistake and its now always a 2 engined 767 coming and going....personally I think thats kind of cheesy and the filmmakers should have left it in

 

[Ilovethemall]

nice catch Marvin

Catch 22 was a great movie - the book was also good - closing time - the sequel.....not so much....

 

[dirtydan]

In the series finale of MASH there were two different tanks at the 4077th. When the wounded tank crew man arrives he is in a M-4 Sherman medium tank and a type of Sherman not used by the US in the Korean War. When Hawkeye runs out during an artillery bombardment to move the tank he's driving a M-24 Chaffee light tank.

Oh yes, one from the print world. In the latest issue of World War II magazine there is an ad for the Victory At Sea series. The series was abut naval battles in WW2 but the colour pic in the ad has a carrier with an angle deck. Carriers did have these until the 1950's. Also if one looks closely at the carrier with its two escorts you will notice they are Canadian ships. The carrier is HMCS Bonaventure and the destroyers are of a type built after WW2.

I have not seen the movie but a friend told me that in one of the scenes you see georgebushmoron sneaking out the back of the tent

Ya, i saw that scene....he was walking kinda funny though

As far as the F-14 wings are concerned, the aircraft has variable sweep wings.
They change in 'sweep' according to speed and the manouver being performed.

We know that all helicopters in Hollywood have bulletproof skins!

The top rated mistake was as follows:

 

[DJLAW]

in one of the first star wars movies (i think it was star wars episode 4) one of storm troopers bonks his head when he walks on to camera.

it terminator 2 when Aaaanold smashes the telephone to get a quarter you can totally tell it is rigged.

in the matrix 2 on the freeway scene when an agent skips onto the car from another car when the middle car is flipping around, you can see it has a full roll cage in it.
