The ever present tail-wire hitting things on screen in basically every scene the cowardly lion is in, in the wizard of Oz.
There’s a scene in Ocean’s Eleven (the one with George Clooney, not the original) where Brad Pitt’s and Matt Damon’s characters are watching Julia Roberts’ character walk down the stairs. Brad Pitt is eating cocktail shrimp as they watch her–in one scene he’s eating out of a plate and then seconds later, he’s eating out of a cocktail shrimp glass.
I find it slightly freaky that you and I posted the same goof at the same time.
This, I believe, may have been done deliberately.
And then it goes back to the plate! That part ALWAYS bothered me!!
yeah, that was a noticeable goof
In THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, when the merchants of death are eating lunch, a slice of apple pie comes with cheese very much melted on it. But then in the next shot it is totally unmelted and Maria Bello pulls it right off, taking you totally out of the movie.
I always got a kick out of Brad Pitt’s shrimp bowl turning into a plate and then back again in Ocean’s 11. Didn’t he notice that the prop in his hand was not even remotely like the one he had before?
In “Ghostbusters” when they arrive at the apartment building and there’s the big crowd cheering them on, there is this redheaded extra with a totally 80s New Wave haircut who manages to be in about four different parts of the crowd at once.
I hate that guy. An extra desperate for more screen time than he deserves and WORSE he took my attention away from the Ghostbusters!
In “Sex and the City 2,” when Carrie is talking to Big about going to the premiere her hands alternate positions. Clearly, more than one take was spliced for the scene.
Have anyone noticed how Mark Wahlberg’s hair mysteriously grew and got shorter throughout the Other Guys? It annoyed me so much!
Recently watching Eclipse and Jacob tells Edward “I could care less of what Edward thinks” when really it’s couldn’t. A big mistake since Edward and Jacob hate each other.
On that note, anyone notice Edward develops an English accent (like the actor has) on and off in the tent scene?
Robert Pattinson slips up with his accent in Twilight too, in the scene where he fixes the dent in the truck.
This really isn’t a mistake as much as it is a difference in culture. In British culture, the statement is sarcastic “I could care less” has the same meaning as the statement we Americans generally make “I couldn’t care less”, but they use the phrase sarcastically.
It hardly matters because it was Jacob who said it and not Edward. Both characters are American anyway, no matter who plays them.
People always say “I could care less.” It’s called sarcasm.
The Fifth Element. the part where the priest and Lilo go to Bruce’s characters apartment. the priest says “I’m sorry Mr Willis” and Bruce says “Corbin”
You know…. I’ve seen that movie literally hundreds of times and never picked up on that.
I’m assuming this is just before the “auto-wash” scene. I will have to watch again
No, the character’s name is Corbin Dallas. The priest says Mr. Dallas not Mr. Willis.
no he calls him Wallace instead of Dallas because he was bad at remembering his name. He didn’t say Willis
Bad Boys. the original w Sean Penn and Esai Morales during the ice pick prison fight. When the camera pans around you can actually see a cameraman and other crew!
I don’t usually notice mistakes but there’s one that’s bugged me since Julia Roberts pointed it out in an interview: In the kiss scene in Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise ties Renee Zellweger’s broken dress straps around her neck. They cut away and back again and it’s tied completely differently even though neither of them touched it again. Now when I watch that scene it’s all I notice.
In Titanic, Kate Winslet’s “mole” switches sides several times throughout the movie.
That’s funny the same thing happens to Prince John in Men In Tights. LOL
Yeah, but that’s on purpose in Men in Tights.
In the third X-Men film, there’s a part where Wolverine gets stabbed into a tree and gets holes and blood stains on his shirt. In the next few minutes, the stains and holes disappear. I usually don’t notice stuff like that in movies, but it’s alaways bugged me.
That bugs me too!
That whole movie bugs me.
Maybe his clothes heal super-fast too?
The “magic” iron in Jenny’s apartment in “Forrest Gump”….it’s standing up, no it’s down, now it’s up again. Also, “The Deliberate Stranger” with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy: There’s a scene at a strip mall where he’s trying to pick up his next victim in front of a record store. In the window of the record store is a poster for Stevie Nicks album “Rock a Little”. The album was released at least 10 years after that incident actually occurred.
it drives me nuts when characters smoke and never exhale. you can see a lot of that in “remember me”. it makes me involuntarily hold my breath.
