Mistakes in films

Gladiator- one of the chariots inside the Colosseum has a gas bottle inside of it.

The Crimson Pirate - a modern day ferry is seen in the background.

And a film that i can`t remember the name of,set in pre flight times where contrails can be seen.

Another James Bond one is in Goldeneye, in the cab of the Russian loco (actually a BR Class 20), bloke shouts "full power" (or words to that effect), which is followed by the driver pushing the power controller into the "off" position. I daresay only train cranks would notice though..... I also think in one of the scenes the engine noise is all wrong.

Star Trek, The Next Generation. Jean Luc is visiting his brother at a vineyard in France and they are picking grapes. The stars in the night shots are not visible from France at that time of the year, apparently!

(The person who picked that one out was a real Trekkie and got promotion at the virtual Starfleet Academy as a result)

 

[mr Mag00]

too numerous to mention - microphones in shot, the worst lately is 'the happening' mark whalberg (sp?) shit3 film anyway

 

[Niall Estick]

Blue Steel drives me up the wall.

Cop Jamie Lee Curtis is framed by the baddies leaving incriminating shell casings near the scenes of crimes. But the shell casings come from a revolver, not a pistol. So the baddies would have had to physically remove the casings from the gun.

It undermines the whole film.

Gone With The Wind:
When Scarlett goes running after Rhett and the end, she goes into her house and leaves the door open. When Rhett leaves the door is closed, and he has to open it.

This totally spoils the whole film.

Ice Cold in Alex, the classic 1958 WWII film with John Mills, Sylvia Simm and Anthony Quale as the baddie as they trek across the desert to Alexandria after the 1941 fall of Tobruk. Towards the end various Army Landrovers can be seen in the background.

The first Landrover was produced in 1948

 

[Funtboy]

In the famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct, at one point you can clearly see Sharon Stone's pasty.

Paul Verhoeven's 'Showgirls' was a classic mistake in film.

 

[Night Train]

Ice Cold in Alex, the classic 1958 WWII film with John Mills, Sylvia Simm and Anthony Quale as the baddie as they trek across the desert to Alexandria after the 1941 fall of Tobruk. Towards the end various Army Landrovers can be seen in the background.

There is also a scene where the army ambulance is bouncing over the dunes. In some shots it is a four wheel drive vehicle with a driven front axle and in others it is a rear wheel drive with a beam front axle.

In the famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct, at one point you can clearly see Sharon Stone's pasty.

 

[Mr Pig]

Most of Braveheart was historically inaccurate.

Yes, but they're trying to fix that by changing all pictures and statues of William Wallace to ones of Mel Gibson.

 

[ianrauk]

In Arnie's Commando movie. Crashes a yellow porche, smashes it side panels. Arnie rights the car and drives off... with the side panels all nice and new...

 

[Night Train]

Terminator 2: Wrecker truck drives off bridge onto storm drain. Smashes front axle, wheels pointing in all directions. Next moment still being driven and steered properly.

 

[Greedo]

Don't get me started on that film!

In Back to the Future... the mileage on the De Lorean goes down...
