Continuity and C**k Ups on TV

My favorite is the continually self-repairing harmonica in Once Upon A Time In The West

The jungle noises in the Tarzan movies included kookaburras.

Many propeller-driven aircraft that nose-dive (be it TV or films) make the same noise as a JU87 Stuka dive bomber.

However, this was noise was generated by a siren fitted to the JU87 and not by the aircraft itself.

The fact that if you went to the toilet in the Rovers Return you'd technically be in Albert Tatlock's living room. They "fixed" it by making an alleyway between the pub and the house??

More recently, on "Vigil".
In episode 1 when the 2 women CID officers are in the car heading for "Faslane" (actually filmed on a disused access road at Hunterston nuclear power station, near me), all the scenes inside the car you can see it is raining heavily outside, windscreen wipers are on. But when they are filming the same scene outside the car, it's a beautiful sunny day!

Inside the car:

Outside!

Also in "Vigil", the Royal Navy helicopter used to fly Suranne Jones out to the sub is an RAF SAR Sea King that would have been retired several years ago, still painted yellow but with "Navy" written on the side.

The classic James Bond car continuity error is in Diamonds are Forever where Bond, James Bond is taking Tiffany up a narrow allley in his red Mustang. He enters the alley left wheels in the air and exits right wheels in the air.

isn't that part of the "wow" joke though?
I mean James Bond films are hardly AA/British School of Motoring instructional vids.
I will refrain from technical ponderings on your: James Bond is taking Tiffany up a narrow allley

Car chase in Bullitt, they drive past the same VW Beetle 4 times, not really, just several shots stitched together. HERE

Don't forget the entire cave of disappearing barrels in Lord of The Rings - The Two Towers

I was watching Endeavour (set between 1965 & 1971) there was a Raleigh Chopper in the background which you might expect as they were first released in 1969 however on closer inspection it was the modern day incarnation with the seperate seat and back rest!

My favorite is the continually self-repairing harmonica in Once Upon A Time In The West

I watched that recently but didn't spot any strange goings on with the harmonica.

Boring film, though, too long and too many scenes of characters saying very little.

Presumably had the Navy not refused to cooperate in the making of the series, they would have provided a Merlin.

Carry on Camping made me laugh. Hattie Jacques was watching the girls doing exercises on the camp site. One minute she was wearing a towel on her head, the next minute it was gone, and then it magically appeared again

You should have Carried On Watching - you won't believe what happens to Barbara Windsor's bra :O

I was watching Yes Day with the kids over the weekend and spotted the police road block that had closed the highway presumably whilst the driving scene was filmed. I never normally spot anything like that.

Tom and Jerry; they keep passing the same background scenery every 2 seconds!
