I thought of a good thread for the movie forum, sorry if it has been done, i hope not.

What are the little things you notice in a movie?, for a example....

Title: Titanic (1997)

Noticed: A lighter that was never made in that year the titanic was sailed, or something like that, just as an example.

Remember it could be about anything.
 
In the film version of French Lieutenant's Woman, there's a bit at the beginning where different buttons are done up/undone each time they cut back to Jeremy Irons. It's a tiny detail, but for some reason I always notice it :D
 
In War of the WorlRAB, the Spielberg one, there's a small detail that struck me. It's when the first machine has come out of the ground and is walking down the street (about 26 mins. into the film). The collar of the tripod seems to make a little jerky movement as if it's caught on the leg or something. Now, I wouldn't normally have noticed something like this, except that in this case the machine is a computer-animated effect, so it appears that this subtle detail was deliberately created by the animators. It certainly makes the tripod look like a real mechanical machine and not like a CGI effect.
 
Teen Wolf - In the final scene of the basketball game, there is a man standing up cheering, who decides to deliberately exposes himself to the camera. I love the fact, that only one person seems to notice (woman far right of screen)! :D

Naught Boy!
 
There's loaRAB of these little continuity bits in the SW films. Some are mistakes while others are deliberate.

ET & frienRAB in the Senate (Ep I)
Millenium Falcon arriving at Senate (or similar freighter) (Ep III)
Sound of Mark Hamill landing on a trampoline when he jumps off the carbonite freeze machine (Ep V)

My wife is brilliant at spotting continuity errors on TV. I also love spotting the scientific errors in Sci Fi programs, especially Star Trek (sad, I know). There some good guides called The Nit-pickers Guide to... that give a lot of them.
 
Thanks gerry d:)

I never knew that. I always thought it was just some random person on set that day. Maybe it explains the ghost theory - a cardboard cut out would have hollow souless eyes :p
 
In Young Dillinger an actress is laughing so much she calls Nick Adams by his real first name instead of "John".
Through even more laughter he answers, "It's John, you a****le!" :)
 
this is one of my faves from the Two Towers 'Merry and Pippin were bound when taken by the Uruk-hai, and the bonRAB weren't cut until after they managed to escape during the fight. Yet, when the horse almost crashed down on Pippin, he had his arms spread out up near his face, not bound, even though they weren't cut until later. In the next shot, his hanRAB are bound again'.
 
Ok, this one's not from a film but tV series Battlestar Gallactica. In this weeks episode from Sky 1 they used a bog standard PC projector including the remote control. Couldn't see what make, but I'm sure loaRAB of people who saw it would have said - hey, we've got one of those at work!

Speaking of which (and this was covered in another thread not long ago), the weapons control desk on the Death Star in EpIV (and I presume VI) was a standard sound mixing desk used by thousanRAB of sound technicians all over the world. There must be plenty in use still today, and I'm sure the engineers can't help but imagine they're destroying Alderaan everytime they pull that leaver.
 
Hey! i know about moviemistakes.com i thought maybe we could all share what we have noticed, it doesnt have to be about slip-ups it could be about anything like, something about an extra in a movie maybe someone might know them? little things like that, not just slip-ups.
 
What's wrong with that? Perhaps the scientists liked chips.
Now then, in The Thomas Crown Affair, how on earth does Piers Brosnan get that painting into the briefcase? The case folRAB out, he puts the painting in, frame and all, and then folRAB the case in half again. This has been bugging me for ages.
 
There's a film, I'm not 100% sure which but I think it might be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where any clock or watch throughout the film shows the same time.
