I’ve done a little housekeeping with my categories and have changed the Top Ten Tips to an all-encompassing just TOP TEN and that way other lists of ten can be incorporated into one category. Now that you know that, aren’t you glad I told you??? LOL
Get out your popcorn and read about the crazy mistakes made in some movies!
MOVIE MISTAKES
- Nanny McPhee – an hour into the movie, the sidecar of the motorcycle switches sides.
- Inception – In the first dream, the right side mirror of the van gets broken and in the following shot, the left side mirror is broken and the right side is perfect.
- The Godfather – When Sonny is shot at the toll booth, the windshield is full of bullet holes, but when bodyguards arrive 30 seconds later, windshield is intact.
- Shawshank Redemption – When Norton loads the gun to kill himself, the bullets are scattered on table, but when he takes aim, they are neatly lined up and yet after he shoots himself, they are scattered again.
- Pulp Fiction – When they give Mia Wallace the shot of adrenalin, they mark her chest with a red magic marker. Once the shot has been given, the mark disappears.
- Lord of the Rings/The King Returns – In second half of movie, Frodo has a scar on his lower right cheek and during rest of movie the scar changes position and size and even migrates to his left cheek.
- Harry Potter/Prisoner of Azkaban – When Hermione and Harry go back in time and they duck and hide from Malfoy and his friends, Hermione’s battery pack is visible under her pink jacket and Harry’s can be seen when he bows to Buckbeak in the pumpkin patch.
- Clash of the Titans – When Zeus is sitting in the chair you can see Nanny McPhee behind him because they were filming next to each other.
- Commando – After chasing down Sully, the left side of the yellow Porsche is wrecked until Arnie drives it away and it is fine.
- The Hurt Locker – In one scene they are playing on an Xbox 360 which didn’t come out until 2005 and the movie takes place in 2004.
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
Wow, you watch closely! Do you enjoy the movies at the same time? 🙂 Interesting blog. Stopping by from SITS. I’ll be back. (Hey, that’s also from a movie.)
Thank you for stopping by from SITS-I can’t take credit for all of them, there are other spotters out there!!!
I took a film course in University once that taught me to watch for those mistakes… it can be distracting sometimes can’t it!
Just visiting from SITS, make it a great day!
Hi Marge,
Thanks so much for stopping by from SITS. Thank goodness I have a husband who spots these kinds of things and I have researched some sites that list them.
You asked if you could link my lost weekend blog to yours. That would be great.

I remember seeing “A Woman Under The Influence” back in the 70’s and saw a boom mike dip right into the top of the frame in one scene. (I was chastised by the person I was with for mentioning it; I was recently out of college where I majored in Film/TV/Radio, and they thought I was being annoying for noticing!)
My pal and I have already been just debating this very topic, he’s usually endeavoring to prove me wrong. Your take on this is certainly perfect and in what way I honestly feel. I simply now e mailed my friend this web site to demonstrate him your perspective.
Thanks so much Cedric for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment. Does your friend think there aren’t any movie mistakes? Keep in touch with the blog, I have done 10 before this one and will do some more. You can see the prior ones by clicking on Thursdays’ Top Ten category. Thanks again.
