Movie Mistakes

#1 Postby Janice » Tue May 16, 2006 3:25 pm

I always look for them, haha

Have you ever seen a mistake in a movie?

I have seen the microphone up high. Also, in city and street chases around the town, I see the same cars on all the street, haha.

I've noticed one of a few mistakes on the movie "Twister", where Bill, Jo, and Melissa were travelling on a 2-lane muddy road chasing 2 waterspouts. After a cow was flying, I saw they're driving on a sunny day on a 4-lane paved road (car was going the opposite direction) instead of a rainy day on a muddy road.

Another oopsie I found was on "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", where Ronald "Ron" Weasley was slimed by that 3-headed dog, a few seconds later, where's the slimy drool?

I have countless others...

There are too many to list in older movies like Top Gun. The most recent mistake I saw was not in a movie but in "Lost." When the raft was adrift as they tried to leave the Island you catch a glimpse of a crew boat in the background.

Bridges of Madison County which my mother loves and I loathe. There are roaches crawling on the chairs as Streep and Eastwood are talking. I've also seen corpses breathing on CSI.

I don't look for them myself, but I read about them on IMDB :D

I've read about them too.

1 is a child's image appearing in a mirror, during a scene with Ted Danson in Three Men & a Baby. He's pretending to be pregnant in this scene. Some say it's a ghost, while others say it was a crew member's child, visiting for the day and who got in the way of filming. Apparently it was either not caught in editing or left in.

I'd have to own a copy of this movie and pause the scene to see it. So I never have. I'm sure it's there. As to what it means, I'd rather not worry about it!

Hey, I forgot this one. I have the cd of the live concert with Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibbs in her home garden. When Barry is singing the duet with her, he is in an all white outfit, he is wearing a black belt for part of the song, etc, and all of a sudden you see him standing next to her with no belt, just loops.

In Spartacus and Zulu, you can see some of the extras wearing watches.

My mother told me that in the movie The Yearling, you can see a TV antenna in the distance.

I love when you see people eating, even the main star, in restaurants and they never eat or finish their meal. Sometimes they leave a whole plate of food. Or they may eat one french fry and one bite out of a sandwich. Or, they are drinking coffee and you can see the cup is empty.
