My favorite part about watching underworked movies is pointing out the mistakes.I get quite annoying sitting there and saying "That's so fake" for half an hour. I guess I just like to show off in front of people. My most famous remark was about Titanic, in the movie you see all four of the ship's smokestacks to be producing smoke, this was not true since the fourth one wasn't really "on". This can be seen in Titanic's blueprints that indicate there is no boiler under that one.

My favorite movie full of mistakes was "Captured" aka "Agent Red' The movie is so fake it's funny. you have US troops stealing a US stealth plane from Colombians, F-16s taking off from an aircraft carrier (no F-16s on carriers) then firing sidewinders (heat seekers) which fall into teh water and change into torpedoes! There are manymanymany more bizzare things inthis movie

i really don't pay attention to mistakes, unless it's really bad!

like in Freaky Friday- it wuz just the projector but we could all see the stick and microphone in the air... pretty funny

but i can't really think of others... i do notice mistakes but then i forget about them :P

I don't point out mistakes that are on trivial things like, which smoke stacks the Titanic was on. I don't point oiut mistakes in dumb action movies because they're meant to be dumb.

Yet some things I do make a big deal out of. Like Lot leading a group of pirates against Noah's arc, which is just wrong in so many ways. :S

Or supposedly intelliugent movies, Like Tom Cruise not having his access revoked in Minority Report, and then his wife still not having his access revoked.
Or a car factry that builds cars, and then sends them off onto the open road.
Thgat particular film had loads.

Well, not everyone studied Titanic's blueprints :)

The most obvious mistakes in movies I really get annoyed from are Computers. It's like for a person to hack a system, he has to rotate those 3D cubes, move through 3D valleys of code or strange things like that.

Even in the most simple movies, like Enemy Of The State, the OK button was occuyping like half of the screen to give people the chance to read it. :)

oh yeah...esspcially considering i see a movie at least a dozen times on the big screen...it is really easy to see screw ups all the time. most of the ones i can first hand are the inconsistencies between scenes or camera cuts. i almost can not watch a movie without looking for mistakes....

I only really sopt them in movies i love that I watch over and over. Examples:

MAJOR LEAGUE: During a meeting at the start, the boom-mic makes a cameo :D

CROW: SALVATION: When Alex drops a match into a pool of gasoline, the fire starts at the oposite end of the pool

But there are also the occasional obvious ones like:

POTC: When Captain Jack Sparrow flying-foxes his way to safety at the start, his hands were tied. How did he get his hands around the rope?

coz he is Captain Jack Sparrow :D

my fav would be Matrix, when all the bodies disappear and then appear again when he did that bullet time on the roof top.

and also Gladiator

In the battle with the Barbarian Horde one of the chariots is turned over. Once the dust settles you can see a gas cylinder in the back of the chariot

Star Wars
When the stormtroopers break into the control room, watch very carefully and you will be able to see a storm trooper nearly render himself unconscious by smacking his head off a door frame.

i think they did this again but intentionally in EP2 :)

I very rarely notice them unless they are obvious. The Star Wars one Trailergod mentioned I spot everytime I watch it. :)

yep, they even mention it in audio commentary of ep2. they say that jango fett a little problem with doors and because the stormtroopers where cloned they get also jangos problem :D

i also liked the way of matrix reloaded fightings scenes. they smack the hell hell out of each other but the sunglasses and the hairstyle are allways fine. gosh i would love to have a sunglass like that.

here a quote from imbd.com of bram stoker's dracula i allways liked

At Hillingam, Quincy is holding his hat in his hands as Jack Seward sits down. When Jack gets up, he takes Quincy's hat from underneath himself and apologizes for sitting on it.

When Jeff Goldblum is demonstrating how he puts the virus into the old alien fighter to lower its shield, he puts a soda can on the ship and asks an officer to shoot it. When he does, the bullet is stopped by the ship's shield. Then after the virus is put into the ship's system, the officer is able to shoot the can off of the ship. But when Goldblum picks the can up, there is no bullet hole in it, only a dent. The military must make their soda cans bulletproof.


I love that site. :big grin:

I don't look for the really minor nitpicks, but in Shanghai Noon, I pointed out that in one scene Jackie Chan called Owen Wilson Owen, and the crowd in the theatre went wild.

Wild as in cheering, or wild as in they tried to punch you and throw stuff at you?

sometimes. More before than now, it really drags a movie down a lot and it really dont serve any purpous.

yea i wont point out the mistakes if ive seen the movie...and the person next to me hasnt...cuz it can kinda ruin the movie for them especially wen they watchin it for a first.....i may let them finish and rewind back to the point n point n laff at the screen :D :freak:

Independence Day is an entire mistake

in aliens yuo can see the hole that lance henriksen was sitting in when he reached for newt b4 she got sucked into space.
