I'm surprised at some of them, how none of the crew or actors noticed and pointed them out! Although you must expect a few glitches, there are some frustratingly obvious ones.
edit - for example - the blue scissors pink scissors one
I caught about 30 seconRAB of this and switched off. The problem with these kind of things is you watch the film or show and don't notice them, but once you know they are there whenever you watch it you automatically look at them. I'd rather not know about them.
Some were fun to see, others were so nitpicky it actually would make you wonder who found these out and what sort of lives they must have. The show certainly didn't need to be 3 hours long and flash a 4 second long shot of the shows title between EVERY clip. Plus, why do lots from one film, and then come back to it an hour later with more from it. Just do them all in one bunch! Was this possibly six 30 min episodes edited into one 3 hour long compilation?
Also, I found it quite ironic that a show about mistakes made some itself, including a spelling mistake calling Warner Bros. "Warner Broxs." during the Lethal Weapon clip where Mel jumps off the roof with the suicide man.
I can think of two however from two of my favourite movies:
1) The Usual Suspects: The shot with the plane landing sees the plane go from having four engines to only two.
2) Aliens: When Ripley opens the airlock, & Newt is saved by Bishop from being sucked into space, you can clearly see that although Bishop is supposed to have been torn in two by the Alien Queen, Lance Henriksen (Bishop) is quite clearly simply standing in a hole.
"Great Movie Mistakes"?? How many of these were genuinely great? I couldn't give a fig if one bloke has a fag in his gob in shot and not in the next! Bloody poor excuse for THREE HOURS of television if you ask me.
I survived for about 45 minutes before I gave up. It should have been entitled 'some very minor glitches in films that we found after fifteen minutes' research on the Net and which were the ones we got permission to show, all padded out with some annoyingly smug presenter and several thousand shots of a waggling board saying movie mistakes.'
The show was crying out for some structure, rather than just a brain-numbing and humourless onslaught. I wondered if the show had been a ten minute filler strand somewhere that'd been hammered together into that endless dirge. The thing is if you watch any dinner scene ever made the level of wine in the glasses go up and down and dead people always stand properly when they are dragged to their feet and boom mike shadows drift by and actors fold and unfold their arms between shots and and and. It's just the way it is. It's only a movie. I do enjoy spotting them myself, but some quality control there wouldn't have gone amiss to actually show some great mistakes rather than the mundane ones. If you sit down in front of the tv for an hour in a bolshy mood you'll see far more amusing glaring continuity errors than they were showing us with the added benefit of that annoying presenter not being on screen.
Lame. The mistakes are either well-known or not worth mentioning. Also they didn't include the scene from "Island of Lost Souls" where an extra sets his head on fire.
Some of them weren't even mistakes, like the High School Musical one when Troy looks at his wrist and there's no watch- that's because he's taking the mick out of Gabriella for being late.
It was alright, some of the things I hadn't even noticed like the gas canister in Gladiator but, it was just so repetitive with some of the continuity errors like people having glasses on and then off etc. Why not just show one example of this?
Saw about twenty minutes and hated its sneering tone (and presenter). As if smug shit like this is somehow superior to cinema by dent of highlighting its minor, mostly irrelevent inconsistencies. A dreadful cheap shot.
I have to agree with people, when I flicked over and saw it I was like "oh great I love these random things" I made this thread and watched it. But after half an hour I was bored and found it "hard work" to keep up with. It would have been better as 6 half hour shows once a week. Or even 5 half hour shows as some of the "mistakes" were tedious and silly.
Sad I know, but when they were pointing out the anachronistic Star Wars album in the 1940s set "Cadillac RecorRAB", they didn't mention the ELO album which is also clearly visible.
