Top movie mistakes

MR & MRS SMITH In one scene, there is a car chase with both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, during the Mr and Mrs Smith film, a Los Angles signpost can quite clearly be seen in a reflection. This wouldn’t be a problem if the film was supposed to be based there, but it’s not, it’s supposed to be set in New York.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST

During the scene in North by Northwest, one of the background actors can be seen to hold his fingers to his ears before the sound of the gunshot is made. The boy is clearly only young, but they do say that only the best actors should make the cut, maybe this doesn’t apply to film extras. AMERICAN PIE

During a scene in the 1999 movie, American Pie, one mistake has been noted, and it’s a pretty big one. There is a scene in the bedroom, where a girl can be seen holding a clear cup of alcohol, then when the camera changes direction and switches back, the cup is seen to be blue. This wouldn’t be so bad, but when the camera switches back again the cup is clear again, all very confusing. SPIDER MAN

In the 2002 Spider Man one of the most obvious mistakes of the film happened when the two windows that Spider man had thrown attackers through, miraculously seem to fix themselves. The shot goes from showing the damaged windows, to showing them to be completely intact within a matter of minutes. In the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, there is a mistake that is so noticeable that it has made the list as one of the top 10 movie mistakes. In one of the scenes where ‘Jack Sparrow’s’ crew are aboard his ship, one of the films crew members is visible in the background wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat, whoops!

The movie Commando, released in 1985, has a noticeable mistake that has been picked up on by many critics. During a car chase, the yellow Porsche that is being driven gets smashed on the one side and is undeniably damaged. However, when Arnold Schwarzenegger drives the Porsche away, it would seem that it has been magically repaired as the damage once seen has disappeared.

GLADIATOR

One of the most well-known movie mistakes ever has got to be in the film Gladiator. In one of the scenes a horse drawn carriage can quite clearly be seen to be carrying a gas canister, why this is isn’t known but it really is quite noticeable. Although not visible for a long period of time, it’s another mistake and inaccuracy to the film that seems to be full of them. TITANIC There are many mistakes in the Titanic film, but the one that is worth more of a mention than the rest happens when Jack speaks of his childhood fishing days. He mentions that he used to fish in Lake Wissota, when in actual fact Lake Wissota wasn’t even a lake and didn’t exist until after Jacks death. Uh oh scriptwriters.

TERMINATOR 3

The 2003 film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines has a couple of mistakes that savvy film critics have easily found, but the one that makes the list is the plane number. In the scene when the airplane is on the ground, the number printed on it is completely different to the number shown when the plane is in flight; the number then changes back to its original when the plane lands again. DIE ANOTHER DAY In one of the fight scenes in the 2002 movie ‘Die another Day’, on the plane, the character Jink (HALLE BERRY

)gets slashed across her stomach, which bleeds and is an obvious injury. However, later on in the film, Jinx’ stomach is shown and there is no mark where she was slashed, in fact her stomach looks completely unblemished.
