Duh! I know what product placement is but when the "actress" practically holds it up to the camera so the brand can be seen is just pure bad film making.

Bad filming, they get money to do that! When a an actor orders a Coke in a film do you say 'aw thats a bad script'. I for one think product placement makes the movie more realistic better than having the actor using imaginary brands which the company would have to waste time thinking up.

I remember in Casino Royale, Bond was using a Sony laptop, was this bad filming, NO, they just need a laptop for the scene. Duh!

One that always really bothered me:

Con Air when Cyrus the Virus is fighting Poe on the fire-truck. Poe handcuffs him, raises the ladder, and Cyrus goes through the windows of a walk-way that was over the street

You can even see the fire-truck passing under him as he flies out the other side.

Now, tell me, how did he land on a conveyor belt that crushed rocks?

Actually, see for yourself from 2:50

Nobody went to check for his body either...

In The Departed
Costigan is watching Sullivan in the cinema. He gets a text of Queenan. His phone is on silent so as to not draw attention to himself. He follows Sullivan out of the cinema and gets a text, all of a sudden his tones are turned on, thus alerting Sullivan to his presence.

Now I doubt he just had his ringtone turned off while he was in the cinema!!!

Thats more of a plot hole than a goof tbh

and if they distract from the movie then thats gonna suck!

To be honest I think most of these errors are too minor to take away from the enjoyment of a film the first time you see it, the vast majority of people don't notice them the first time they watch the film. Good thread though

one that always sticks out in my mind id the Christopher Lambert film Gunmen where the 2 main actors are talking with their guns out
and he is holding a revolver in one scene and then an automatic pistol and it keeps changing between the 2

I had a rewatch of Where Eagles Dare the other day and the Helicopter stuck out a bit. A strange choice even if it had any historical basis but apparently it didn't.

Still a classic movie though and the clip is worth it for a snatch of the fantastic score.

Last of the Mohicans

Near the end of the film just before the final fight sequence Daniel Day Lewis is seen running through a small gap between two large rocks. He brushes against the rock on his right hand side and it begins to ripple.

Fake rock!
