Movie Mistakes

[Dillinger]

There seem to be a lot of movie fans on this board and at least one person with a more intimate connection to the industry (hi there DCL).

There's a site a number of you might enjoy:

• Did you notice the Stormtrooper who smaks his head on the doorway in Star Wars?
• Or the fact that Raiders of the Lost Ark is set in 1935, but they show a fully constructed Golden Gate Bridge (which wasn't completed until 1937)
• During one of the big battle scenes in Braveheart, a white "panelvan" is seen driving by in the background.

the infamous dissapearing vest

in The Empire Strikes back, durring the scene where Han is about to be lowered into the carbonite freezer, he's not wearing a vest, just a white shirt, yet for the close up of him just after Leia tells him she loves him, he's wearing a vest.

Then there's the one real famous movie where that movie star guy and that chick were doing stuff and they weren't! It was hysterical!

You aren't buying this are you. Geez. They specifically told me that ignorance was truly bliss. *mutters and stomps off the thread.*

 

[scylis]

the last one on the Star Wars page is total BS.. 3PO is obviously lying..

So I watch tons of videos, and in one I saw this bartender (I am a bartender) who had a vest on in one shot with a name tag on the right, then the immediate next scene he had no vest and the name tag on the left, then right after a vest again with the name tag on the left? but no idea which movie or actor, so am sure you all think I am a spazz. But it was funny at the time.

"24 HOURS" starring Eddie Murphy

Here's the scene: Eddie and Nick Notle walks in the red neck bar. Nick hands Eddie the police badge to pretend to be a cop. Eddie questions the bartender and flashes the badge. The badge is never returned to Nick.
Then several minutes later, they stop someone else for questioning. Low and behold, Nick flashes the badge that was never given back to him.

Okay, I'll give a more unique one. Some of you know but most of you don't, I do stunts and appear in films and Television sometimes. My luckiest one was getting a stunt role in Tomorrow Never Dies. I did the paraglide scenes. You may notice that in one of the scenes the "bad assed assasin chick" in the 90 MPH paraglide gets all banged up and has her hair blowing everywhere like a hell cat. A second later, the hair is perfectly pinned into a twist not a hair out of place. Also, Bond's suit changes mid scene.

Maybe I should change my screen name to Bond Girl?
There is my 15 seconds of fame.

My mum was a bond girl though, very proud of that! She was in View To A Kill. Okay there is her 15 seconds of fame.

Dunno if you'd so much call this a mistake as a tragedy but, in The Wizard of Oz one of the stagehands dies. The scene where they had just picked up the Tin Man and are skipping down the yellow brick road if you look above their heads as they approach the turn in the road you can see him Flailing around. He fell off some scaffolding and got tangled in the works and strangled himself. They Never removed it from the movie even though the family fought it tooth and nail. I learned of this from my 10 yr old nephew who caught it. Id watched the movie all my life and never paid that much attention but now I cant watch the movie without seeing him being swung around.

I watched a "making of" type documentary on The Wizard of Oz, that said that guy did it on purpose, that he commited suicide. Either way, that sucks.

Wow never heard that. I dunno but I work as a stagehand in theatre and rock and roll hoping one day to do movies and suicide by jumping off into the works sounds really complicated. I cant see it as a suicide but a tragic mistake. Seeing as suicide is the easy way out logic says you'd pick the easiest way to do it and hoping you get tangled in cords to strangle yourself doesnt sound easy
