Worst "goof" you've ever seen in a movie?

Commando has a whole host - the porsche that slides on its side down the road and when Arnie flips it back upright the paint is perfect.

Sorry, not upright, I mean back onto its 4 wheels.

I watched the Director's Cut of Blade Runner again last night - first time in years. There are quite a few visual bloopers, especially in scale e.g the Tyrell Corporation building is supposed to be 700 stories high, but looks about 100 stories high when the flying vehicles are nearby. The final scenes take place in the Bradbury Building which is, in reality, only four stories high. Even with all the climbing Deckard does, it might be six or seven floors in the film, so why does he end up hanging over what looks looks like a thousand foot drop?

The biggest goof, though, might be a slight spoiler, so I'll cloak it:

When Bryant is giving Deckard his instructions, he talks about 6 replicants that came off the shuttle and tried to enter the Tyrell building. One got "fried", and four (Leon, Zhora, Pris and Batty) are still on the loose. One is missing.

For half the film I was trying to figure out what that meant. Was Deckard the 5th replicant? If so, it would mean that all his history with Bryant etc, was implanted very recently, and everyone else was in on it. I even found myself wondering whether Rachael was the sixth replicant, and the story about a replicant getting "fried" was a cover-up, since we only meet her after Tyrell had her reprogrammed?

I looked it up afterwards, and it turns out that there was no mystery. It was a script blunder, and might even be corrected in the Final Cut (which I haven't seen). :cool:

pixelburp

Yup, it was fixed in the Final Cut.

in the ring i think it was, someone is looking something up on a website and you can see the address is "c:\documents and settings....."

And the tractor lines in the fields in Gladiator....

You need one of these


If you can't afford one then

Open and close your text with (spoiler)(/spoiler) only use [] instead of ()

Thanks!

wasn't there some in the new Indiana Jones move, the motor bike that was used wasn't around for a few years after the movie was set

Dunno about the worst but it annoys me everytime I see it and cant be arsed to check if its already been posted.

In Pulp Fiction with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny - Amanda Plummer says "any of you fcuking pr1cks move an I'll execute every motherfcuking last one of you" at the start of the movie but at the end with Jules and Vince she is heard to scream "any of you fcuking pr1cks move an I'll execute everyone of you motherfcukers"

I thought tarantino actually did that on purpose.

Gremlins

When a gremlin attacks the Mum from a Christmas tree, and the tree falls on top of her, you can clearly see a member of the crew behind the tree, pushing it forward on top of her with a shirt on and wearing glasses

And some from Die Hard (as Im about to watch it now)

John McClane stands in a little pool when the helicopter falling from the roof explodes outside and the windows shatter. In a short shot you see that this man is definitely not Bruce Willis.

http://www.moviemistakes.com/chimage.php?image=45093.jpg

Bruce Willis wore fake feet during the movie to protect his own while shooting the film. They were like boots that slipped on over his. At the part where the FBI guy shoots at him from the helicopter and Bruce jumps to a lower level of the roof, you can see the tops of the fake feet that aren't tight around his ankles.

http://www.moviemistakes.com/chimage.php?image=13954.jpg


In the shot where we see all the terrorists (except Karl and Theo, who are upstairs) walking into the building from downstairs, they are about to walk through a doorway when the camera cuts out. Watch the terrorist on the left (he's the one who guards the door) - before the camera cuts out he realises he's about to hit the doorframe very hard. Reminiscent of the Stormtrooper in Star Wars

http://www.moviemistakes.com/chimage.php?image=22219.jpg



When McClane enters Holly's office, a crew member is reflected in the mirror.


When the boss discovers the first bad guy lying dead in the lift ("Now I have a gun - HO HO HO!") and slaps him over the cheek, the corpse is moving its head before it is hit (watch carefully!) He also blinks.

That's the moviemistakes website. It's disabled hotlinking. If you copy the links and paste them into a new window, they work.

My first thoughts too.

Maybe he was being ironic and wanted to see how many would notice it and complain.

I read into it, and the only plausible explanation it gave is that he wanted to shoot from someone else's perspective. In the first instance we see it from honeybunny's perspective - it sounds much harder and nastier. The second time we see it from Jules and Vince's perspective and it's noticeably less nasty and more nervous.

Yes its fixed in the Final Cut alright. I disagree about your building height comments - well on Blu-Ray anyway they looked massive. Besides, their height is not mentioned in the movie. The Final Cut also fixed the VK machine goof that was in the Directors Cut I mentioned earlier in this thread. Basically it fixed everything..Zhoras man double, the misreading of the identity number on the snake scale, the wires holding up the spinners. However Deckards chat with the Egyptian is still not quite right in the looping department.

I always thought it was something like this, that the movie was based on short stories interlinking, so the stories are told differently by different people.

I must have seen PF about 15 times and Ive never noticed that, I'll keep an eye our for it next time.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread on this but there's a programme called Great Movie Mistakes on BBC3 right now hosted by some dude called Richard Webb. They're so bloody picky! He just seems really smug and unfunny and picking up on silly but really unnoticeable small little mistakes.

He's a knob.

^^^^^^^^^

ya saw that last night, it went on too long and some of the gaffs were very so what

py2006

Maybe I am wrong here...

But I think there was a mistake in the Michael Collins movie. In a scene in a pub somebody says "Howya Liam" instead of Mick or Michael.

The biggest goof ever has to be a scene in American Ninja 2, where Joe Armstrong played is reporting to his comanding officer , joe armstrong is played by Michael Dudicoff but in this scene he is played by a completely different actor

No, this has been widely documented.

The dialogue played out slightly differently in Jules and Verne's scenes to show the different perspectives of the events that played out.

As in if you were in a robbery / dangerous situation like that, odds are you wouldn't remember exactly what was said.

The goof happens around 1.55, you can tell it was a double from behind even before that, how could they have made this kind of c...up

ZorbaTehZ

In the first Matrix, Morpheus rings Neo on the phone and says "this line is probably tapped" and then proceeds to tell him to meet Trinity "at the Adams St. bridge... blah blah"

If the phone is fkin tapped then you've just gone and told the agents where to find them...

I saw the half of a good prog last night on bbc3 on movie mistakes.. There was a good one showed in 'North by Northwest' where Cary Grant's in the back of a car with this other man, the car (one of those where the moving scene outside the car is fake) swerves around a corner so Grant leans to the side, the man beside him doesn't so Grant gives him a dig with his elbow him and glares at him then the man leans over and it's so fake 'cos the car's already turned. Funny:)

It showed another one in Gladiator where a man in t-shirt and jeans is clearly visible in the crowd trying to move out of shot.
In Jurassic park when the girl and boy are hiding on the velociraptors in the kitchen. The velociraptor opens the door and the camera moves back to show it from a distance and you clearly see a hand steadying the creature's tail.
