What are some of the greatest goofs/errors to be missed by film editors and make their way into the final version of Hollywood's most famous movies?
For instance: In a scene from the movie "Ivanhoe" Cedric the Saxon, attending a joust, makes the statement, "No quisling norman can unhorse MY son!"
What other scenes can you think of?
Regards, Shuckins

Can't think of any off hand...but I spot mistakes all the time...you'd think that with all the money invested, they would do a better job..
Oh here's one..In Termanator 2 when the T-1000 rides the Police Motorcycle into the building then up the stairs...when he rides into the building it is some sort of Cruiser style bike..but as they show it going up the stairs, it is clearly a Dirt-Bike made to look like a police bike...they didn't even bother to dub over the 2-stroke engine sound.

I saw a show about this kind of stuff a while back. The one that I remember is at the end of Teen Wolf. One of the guys in the stands at the basketball game whips out his willy. Oops :)

In "Barely Legal #74" that's actually me but the credits read Ron Jeremy.

Not really an error, but "top gun" ( note lower case) having the Soviet enemy aircraft being F-5's :lol

I saw a T-Rex eat a goat one time. No way were there goats back then.:rolleyes:
rpm, you're nasty.
-
T-rex is a british band from the late '60s-early '70s, goats are vehicles manufactured by GMC division pontiac which was heavily influenced by John Z. DeLorean and popularized by American pop band the Monkees, John Z. DeLorean was also a dinosaur. I've established that it was indeed possible for John Z. DeLorean to have eaten goats.
-
In ferris Bueller, during one of the parade scenes, a blonde chick with short hair flashes her cooter. She was wearing a dress, but had not bothered to wear underwear.
Since about 4-5 years ago, they edited it out PERFECTLY by putting a cheering person that raises his hand to fit over her crotch at the exact perfect moment it happened.
To this day, with all the modern computer graphics, there hasn't been a piece of smoother editing in ANY MOVIE EVER. If you look VERY CLOSELY you can only barely tell that the guy who raises his hands has been edited in.

I renounced that lifestyle choice after the check bounced.

I dont know about this. Seems abit far fetched. Being that DeLoreans are time machines, I can see taking a goat to the late Cretacious period to feed it to a T-Rex. Some coke head eating a Pontiac just doesnt hold water. Just saying.
rpm, I was refering to you being fat and covered with hair, not so much the banging of young starlets.:aok
During the fight with the "Mig 28s" at the end of Top Gun. You can see desert mountains in the Med.

I told them to use a soft lens with a heavy filter, but they would'nt listen.

theres a couple I have seen. One of the Lord of the Rings movies you can see one of the hobbits wearing sneakers.
In Invasion USA the helicopter on top of the building, the rotor blades are spinning backwards.
-
Sparticus wore a Timex.
-
Sticking with the LOTR theme, one of the gondorian riders at the beginning of the second movie was wearing Oakley's.

...and they we're painted black with water-based paint. You can see a few shots with the paint peeling off.

In Iron Ealge II ( yes, I watched the whole thing:rolleyes: ) the "Migs" were F-4 Phantoms.
-
In the original Star Wars,
1) One of the Storm Troopers bops his head coming through a door as they enter the control room.
2) When Darth Vader and Obi-Wan are fighting, Darth's chestplate is on backwards.
3) When Obi-wan and Luke are watching the hologram of Princess Leia projected onto a small table, the objects on the table change position and number in each shot.
Hmmm,..I know there are more, but that is all I can recall right now.

True Story:
During the filming of VERTIGO, one of the crew came up to Hitchcock and said 'we have a problem'. Hitch said, what's the problem.
The guy explains that on certain angles, Kim Novak who wasn't wearing any underwear ... well you could look right up her dress and 'see her business'.
Hitchcock replied, Yes, that is a problem. I just don't know if it's a lighting problem, a hair dressing problem or a makeup problem!
-
Speaking of Jurrasic Park. When theT-Rex eats the goat it is on even ground with the cars. But when the T-Rex pushes the car over the concrete wall theres a huge drop off.

Die Hard II
Officer Mclean makes a call from payhone at Dulles airport in Virginia....the logo on the side of the payphone is pacific bell...
As far as military hardware not being corect and motorcycles changing from street to dirt bikes at stuntime its too numerous to mention...... another example, in the movie Christine when the evil plymouth rams the pretty camaro you can see that there is no engine or drivetrain at all, installed in said camaro... not really a slip -up as such, as you can see this in a lot of movies/tv shows but more along the lines of nobody is supposed to notice...
-
Anyone ever really see the supposed "little person" that was supposed to have hung themselves in the Wizard of Oz?
-
Towards the end of Twister when Bill Paxton is about to slay the F5. He drives his pick up through a house thats blown on its side. When you see inside the house everything is right side up. No to mention the transmission on his Dodge remains intact through the whole movie.

We studied that movie in AP US history last year and its symbolism. We got stuck on that part with the person hanging themselves. if you watch it enough times you realize its one of those birds they show in the scene before.

When Vader gives Obi-Wan the killing slash at the end of their fight, Vader's saber cuts clean through Obi-Wan's before going through his robe.
When Luke sees Obi-Wan's death and begins to run toward the ship, you can see Vader in the background as a large hangar door quickly closes. Vader's light saber is still a stage prop, and doesn't glow red.

IMDB "Trivia" and "Goofs" are a goldmine for this stuff

Bonaza episode:

I've seen jet con-trails in westerns while the indians were chasing the satge coach. I have seen the shadow of the film truck & it's tire tracks while the chase scenes were going on in several westerns.
I recall seeing a weather bouy in some sea-faring movie like haratio hornblower or that one master & commander, can't remember which.
In gladiator one of the guys in the background was wearing black jeans (you could see the belt loops).
Here are a few pics to some goofs:

In Kelly's Heroes, the Tiger Tanks were American tanks fitted with sheet metal.
In Star Trek, the transporter beams are not working models.
In Jurrasic Park, the dinosaurs were put in later with CGI effects.
wait... those isn't mistakes, they meant to do all that stuff. Even the F4 and F5's

If I remember correctly, the startrooper who hit his head knocked himself out.

Probably the greatest screw up in Hollywood history was greenlighting the last Paulie Shore movie.
-
we'll paulie shore has a lot of sway in the business.
no talent, certainly, but a lot of pull.
his family owns one of the big LA comedy clubs, where just about everyone with any ties to comedy was 1st noticed (the comedy store, iirc, not sure), so just about everyone owes him (his mom really).
I saw a great movie last week, one that i'm surprised i hadn't seen before.
The Hunters
it has F-84fs instead of MiG-15s.
not really a mistake imo, hollywood & VVS weren't such buddies in 1958 (at least not openly :noid :noid :furious :t :cool: ), so where you gonna get a bunch of studmuffingots (not SF, i mean MiG-15s)?
they did the same thing for The McConnel Story, but that was a lot less of a decent movie.
Anyway, if you haven't see this movie. its great, its on netflix, got Robert Mitchum..
The Hunters.
t-6 for zekes in tora tora tora
spit9s for spit1s in dark blue world & in piece of cake.
list could probably go on forever
the bristol biplane in Those Magnificent Men & Their Flying Machines has 3 rudders, but the real one only has two, list could go on forever...already has

That bird from wizard of oz was edited in at some point.
I had a bet with my math teacher in grade school. If i could show the scene, and point out the hanging midget, he would postpone a test we were supposed to take. So he rolls in the tv with the vcr and i show the midget swinging in the background. in fact, it looks like he actually screwed up the first time, like maybe fell off what he was standing on, before the rope was around his neck.
I saw it on tv a few years back, and now a bird spreads it's wings to cover the swinging rope, with the dead midget at the end of it.

Combat! Season 2
Episode 25-26 What Are the Bugles Blowin' For?
Towards the end of the episode, Saunders is walking with the young French boy. In the background, there is high speed, '60s style traffic whizzing by - over the back fence of the MGM lot.
-
Also in Commando
when they leave the parking garage of the mall you can see the reflection of the whole camera crew in the porsche's paint.

I could have pretended to be a good spotter, but that would be cheating :D
http://www.moviemistakes.com
BTW, in the upcoming "Flags of our Fathers" the crew was extremely accurate. Every platoon had to undergo inspection before going to the set, - down to every button the right way and so on.
Guys with tattoos were either put in far-away background action, or had to go through makeup.
No watches, but if you wanted one it had to look right or you'd get an old one at props.
Muzzle flashes were real (Hollywood ammo), cannons fired a projectile (for recoil), LVT's came from the sea with troops in them, and for the makeup on the wounded, every person was photographed in case they'd have to shoot the next day.
Since the movie mostly happens in gritty 8 days or so there was an issue with beard growing and hairgrowing (even though almost all were wearing a helmet all the time, bu) So, for day#1, all newly shaved and so on.
The whiskers were "ordered", that is, since the shootings took several weeks the extras were informed (like over a weekend) that they should not shave for instance - cos we're doing day#3 you see...
All in forground action had to be inspected with the makeup division before getting to the set, and later on everybody.
There was some flight restriction over the area. The only time I recall shootings being postponed because of this, was when a US military freighter passed the sky.
Extras looking into the camera all the time, were moved.
Close camera on gunners as i.e. the Tommygun, would reveal actual bullets in the magazine.
Platoons stayed as platoons. But their ranks gradually got thinner.
And yet, I bet there will be spottable mistakes.
All wriggling of impatience to see it though.

In "Full Metal Jacket" when the drill instructor slaps Pvt Joker for not believing in the Virgin Mary.
That has to be one of the fakest, worst filmed slaps of all time.

The Last Waltz
During Neil Young's version of "Helpless", the camera man below him at the front of the stage got a real close up shot..
...of a huge chunk of coke stuck in his nose.
When the DVD was released it was more apparent than ever...and the white booger was digitally edited out...but not before several thousand "unedited" versions were sold.
i hear they are collectors items.:lol
Btw..nobody seen "Plan Nine From Outer Space".?
-
If you buy the DVD releases of "combat" they have a bloopers section at the end of every episode that tells some of the more glaring ones. Each episode was shot for about 25k including salaries so it was an amazing show for the money.

My kids just watched X-men II last night on tv, & the teleporting lizard dude was supposed to save the kids in the dungeon level of the bad guys dam fortress, if you look when the kids are yelling for help, you can see the guy in the shadows waiting to step out...but he isn't there yet in the movie, he's still walking down the hall with hallie berry. Just thought I'd mention it because I saw it last night, I see stuff like that constantly.

Slash, they used a stunt transmission, probably a Chevy

PPffffftt; Dodge 727's are bullet-proof. Hook one of those to an old 318 & you can crash through chevies all day long.
But it is funny to see vehicles smashed to hell & back & drive away in the next scene un-blemished.

they need to put the 727s on caravans. And they might be bullet proof but they arent idiot proof ;) guess what happens when you let a buddy help you service your 727 and he uses the wrong torque wrench and tightens your bands to 150ft/lbs instead 150in/lbs. :(
I spent an entire summer rebuilding that transmission after that; and without that genius's help. I wouldnt let him come within 50ft of my truck after that

Ha didnt know that stormtrooper one
In the original Star Wars, all the R2-D2 shots where he goes from 2 legs to 3 and moves, were all cut short. The outer legs were off center, so as R2 drove away, you can see the legs are pulling apart from his body.
(It was also a pneumatic system)
Also, you can always tell which R2 was the one Kenny Baker was inside. If you look closely at the feet, there are holes cut into the Battery Boxes for his legs to slide into.
