From an over excited Sylvester Stallone to failing basic spelling, we look at 11 dumbest
movie mistakes you missed.
11.
Terminator 2 – Magic Windows • Now for a film about time travelling robots
fighting, you need to have some suspension of disbelief.
But windows that magically fix themselves?
• This mistake from Terminator 2 happens during the bike chase scene, where the T-1000’s
windows get utterly destroyed and are back in the next short.
• These kinda mistakes happen all the time in action sequences but you don’t need Arnie’s
cybernetic eyesight to catch this one.
10.
Cobra – Wearing a wire • Actors like to improvise sometimes to
give a scene that extra bit of “realness”, but Stallone was always going to take it too
far.
• In his 80’s masterpiece “Cobra”, Ol Sly gets a bit too heated and rips a guy’s
guys shirt open revealing the lapel mic underneath.
• But hey maybe it’s not a mistake at all and this guy is just actually wearing
a wire…god Stallone just got that guy a pair of cement shoes.
9.
Jaws – A Comfortable Death • Everyone knows that the shark prop in
Jaws doesn’t exactly look very real but that’s not normally because of this little
mistake.
• In the scene where Quint finally becomes fish food, a nice soft cushion can be seen
inside the killer shark’s mouth.
This was to help actor Robert Shaw deal with being side a giant, often malfunctioning prop
for hours.
• But in the film it now means that Jaws has a pillow for a tongue, those teeth must
really hurt but at least you have good lumbar support.
8.
Jurassic Park – “Live” Feed • Few films in the 90’s could ever actually
represent computers in any realistic way and Jurassic Park is one of the worst at it.
• During a scene where Nedry is making his escape plans, a shot shows a “live” feed
of the docks, but a passing glance tells you that this is a media player window.
There’s even a play button and bar.
• The park has some computer issues but this seems like one someone should have picked
up on.
7.
Enemy at the Gates – Magic Kill • A movie about a Russian sniper soooo good
at what he does that his kill count goes up even he isn’t on duty.
• “Enemy at the Gates” is a film where Russian and Nazi snipers duke it out.
In a scene where our hero is being handed a flyer proclaiming his kill count, the flyer
goes from 4 kills to 5 kills in two different shots.
• I know the Russians were good at propaganda but this is just ridiculous.
6.
Usual Suspects – Magic Plane • Lot’s a movies have that one generic
shot of a plane landing to show a character arriving, but normally the plane doenst change
between shots.
• The Usual Suspects is guilty of making this glaring error that would have pilots
laughing.
When the aircraft is shown from the front, we clearly see a 747 Jumbo jet but then in
the next shot it’s suddenly missing two engines.
• Pretty sure those engines didn’t just fall off through magic.
For some reason they combined footage of two completely different planes and the editor
either didn’t notice or more likely didn’t care.
A planes a plane, it doesn’t matter.
5.
Raiders of the Lost Ark – 80’s Guy • Raiders of the Lost Ark is a near perfect
adventure film buuut it has its fair share of easily avoided mistakes.
Like this 80’s guy walking around 1930’s Egypt.
• This crew member obviously didn’t hear Spielberg yell “Action!” because he walks
right through the shot.
• Nah this guy just a time traveler and he’s trying to find Indy to help him, I’m
sure George Lucas has wrote this all in the script.
4.
Batman Returns - Eyeliner • If that the black makeup that always surrounds
Batman’s eyes ever bothered you, than you probably caught this error in Batman Returns.
• In the climactic scene where Bruce rips his mask off, we clearly see the makeup disappear
between shots, Tim Burton probably knew then that Bruce Wayne standing there with panda
eyes would look silly.
• So it’s just magic’d away.
Huh maybe that’s Bruce’s actual superpower.
“Sure Superman can fly but I can make eye liner…disappear!”
3.
Die Hard – Windows Error • Another 80’s classic that is full of
errors, “Die Hard” has trouble keeping track of how many times a window can break.
• The glass shatters after one missile is shot through the window at an LAPD vehicle
but then breaks all over again when they shoot the second missile.
• The funny thing is that the second missile doesn’t even need to be fired like someone
said “hey that explosion was cool let’s just do it again even if it makes no sense!”
2.
Die Hard 2 – Black Magic • How can the same shit happen to the same
movie franchise twice?
At least instead of glass its magical race change!
• In Die Hard 2: Die Harder, we see an African American character reach down to pick up a
suitcase but the next shot is of a white guy’s hand grabbing it.
The same close up shot is used later in the film.
• So obviously the director realised he didn’t have the shot but fuck it, no one
will notice the characters race changing for a second.
1.
The Dark Knight Rises – Dumbest Newspaper • Well you assume when you give someone
the job of making a fake newspaper, that they can spell properly.
• This typo in “The Dark Knight Rises” misspelling the headline word ‘Heist’
as ‘Hiest’.
Apparently the Gotham Times doesn’t double check their work… and neither does Warner
Bros. You have to wonder what else they have misspelled.
• Can’t you just see the frustration on Bruce’s face as “Mysterious Butman saves
city” is pasted all over the front page?
No wonder he gave up crime fighting.
