Movie Mistakes

Started by Aku7 pages

Theres a mistake in Gladiator. When they goto that desert province thingy and theres that arabian fellow trying to sell the slaves. They are discussing prices when....

Oliver Reed says "I'll give you 2 (2000) for the slaves and 4 (4000) for the beasts, thats 5 (5000) for an old friend."

I mean hes obviosly conning that guy or something?

I think that was meant to be there. As you said to try and con the man into giving him the slaves for cheaper

the scene in the little mermaid where the preist is marying ursula and erik and the preist has a boner sticking out, it may sound fake but its true.
alladin when he whispers to raja "take her clothes of" under his breathe.

I thought Ewan's accent swapping was horrible. I don't know about you, but a southern Georgia accent and an engilsh accent are nothing alike. It totally distracted me.

The car in FotR...I have the extended edition so maybe thats why I havent seen it, though I sure would love too.

How bout in TTT, when Gandalf is walking towards Theoden. the front shot has Gandalf hiding his staff kind of behind his arm (like he was supposed to) but the back shot has him holding it straight up. The shots are edited together and look pretty bad.

Also in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, when the bridge breaks and Indy swings to the cliff face, you can see the rocks bounce and go all spongy when he hits them.

Theres a thread about this here. Those are all fakes. That is his knee and the other he says something different.

Actually, the more I think of it, theres quite a few spongy rock scenes in the Indiana Jones films. Damn good movies though.

This isn't really a mistake, but I've always been curious about it. In The Big Lebowski, when The Dude first visits the Big Lebowski's house, and Lebowski's secratary-or-whatever (can't remember his name) is talking about the kids in one of the pictures he says a line twice. This may not be word for word:

"Without the necassary means to, necassary means to otherwise..."

What is up with that?

hmmm.......

Technically it is a mistake.........I just don't know if Quentin Tarantino did it on purpose or not.

At the beginning of Pulp Fiction (the robbery, right before the credits) Yolanda says "Any of you fucking pigs move and I'll execute every mother fucking last one of you".................during the same scene at the end of the film she says "Any of you fucking pigs move and I'll execute every last one of you mother fuckers."......obviously the dialogue has been switched around.

In the script, it says:

Brandt: "They're not his, heh-heh, they're not literally his children; they're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, inner-city children of promise but without the--"

Dude: I see.

Brandt: "--without the means for higher education, so Mr. Lebowski has committed to sending all of them to college."

I would expect that the dialogue was said exactly this way by Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the movie. The Coens are known for (among other things) having every little stutter, cut-off speech and mispronunciation written exactly the way they want it delivered.

Whats is your favorite movie mistake.

It isnt my fav but at the beggining of Stuck On You when the boys gets out of bed and you see a shot of their feet you can see the face of a man under the bed and it never explains it later on in the movie.Has anybody else noticed it.I didnt find anything on it on MovieMistakes.com.

It's on Movie Mistakes now.

Also...on Stuck on You, when Bob is covered in blue screen and Walt is seen "alone" on the screen, if you watch the action of Walt and Moe on the screen, and in front of the screen, the actions do not match up.

Stuck on you was a big fat mistake anyway. In X-Men 2 when they try to save the children and nightcrawlers already in the back ground before he supposedly teleported. Also in Independence day when the UFO blows up the empire astate building, Its on the wrong street. And in back to the future, the guy who played thingys father was actually 2 years younger than him. Someone pulls a mooney in the matrix when Neos running away from the agents in the street. 28 days later, when he runs away from the zombies after punching the priest at the church and they blow up the gas station its night time, then when they get back to the shop about 2 seconds after its day time. In xXx, if you see the angle of the jump when he does the superman seat grab while shooting that guy, theres a roof right in front of him on the other side, so he'd just crash right into the building.

The fast and the furious before jonny tran and jesse race, you see tran with a shirt on, then its not on him like the second after, but he doesnt have time to change it coz hes about to drive.

Hows that for a mistake or two.

Hmm well either the actor changed it and the director(s) didnt mind, or the director(s) changed it them selfs. I dont consider that a mistake. The script is what you here in the final version. Meaning the movie.

Its such an awkward line though, I can't imagine it being in there without some story or inside joke attached or something.

Don't get me started on mistakes... Raiders of the Lost Ark.. its 1936... so why are the Germans using MP40 smgs, first made in 1938, and Russian RPG7s form the sixties.... also, in Goodnight Mr Tom, why do lots of houses have TV aerials?

In Harry Potter #1, when they get to the train station, there's a plastic square with the number 9 on the left side of a pillar and on the right side is another square with the number 10 on it, stating that platform 9 is on the left and 10 on the right. But on the pillar behind it, the number are switched.

Movie Blunders

Hav u ever watched a movie where you see something that you're spose to or somethings there one minute and gone the next. if so post it here.

heres a few i noticed:

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT- no im not gonna say how kaylee got a small cut on her head to havin a big scar down her face coz if u watch it properly u'll no why. or watch the directors commentary. When evan goes back the first time and he jumps out of bed and grabs a towel to cover his bits, if u look closely at the bit when he's on the floor he has white/cream shorts on then he grabs a towel?

PRACTICAL MAGIC- After gillian and sally kill jimmy they drag him in the house to bring him back to life. when they get to bit when they lift him onto the table, before they lift him up they's folded sheets and fruit bowls and watever and when they put him on the table there not there.

SCREAM- when she's on the phone she walks around the house she locks the door then wen shes runnin around she locks the same door

theres lots of these, and i think many threads on them..

gladiator the chariot flips theres a tank in it, lotr theres a car in the background

Hmmm,I will have to rewatch SCREAM again soon.One that I know of for sure is in STRIPES when Harold Ramis Has Bill Murray on the ground and he is yelling at him saying-where the hell is it winger,where's the reward,wheres the glory ect.During that time when he is doing that,one minute you see the bag under his head,the next minute,its next to his legs,the next minute its under his head again,the next minute,its by his legs again.ect ect.you will see that like 5 or 6 times during that scene.

one i noticed first time was in a indiana jones when he escapes from the place with all the snakes he pushes a boulder out of the wall and you can see the shadow bounce which clearly for a huge boulder is kinda goes against the laws of gravity still a fantastic trilogy though hope they don't spoil it with the new one

also in indiana jones, you can see the snakes reflection in a piece of glass inbetween harrison ford and it.

in bourne identity, when he hangs off the fire escape, there is no snow, and then next second there is loads

In the "Commando" car chase scene with the Porshe, the Porshe flips on it's side and is dented and scratched. When Arnie decides to flip the porshe back over and drive away.......Brand new Porshe!
