Bill “Papa” Lee Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Maybe we can create a running thread… I will list three three of my recent movie or series errors…. 1. In “A League Of Our Own”, when Tom Hanks comes into the girls Locker Room to suggest that for the Playoffs that they should pray, he is barely carrying, an, unfolded towel, as he puts it onto the floor in a second, it is neatly folded towel, and he kneels on it. 2. In the movie, “I Robot”, during the final battle with the Robots, he (Will Smith) drops a long riffle, with a shoulder strap, it falls and wraps the strap around a lower railing, then when he (Will Smith) was able to retrieve it, he pulls it off. Both would be impossible. 3. Then in the series, (I think) “Return To Lonesome Dove”, while the men we hanging the sign “(in memory serves) “Big Hat Creek Ranch”, one of the crew hidden way back in the background decided to take a picture, with a bright flash, a scene supposed to be set in 1888, but no one caught it, or did, but hoped no one would notice. I have seen a number of “Westerns”, where tire tracks have been seen on wagon trails. 2

MorningStar Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I remember seeing footage from a movie where Alec Baldwin is sweaty, then not, sweaty again, not, sweaty, etc. 😄

The Nehor Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Very simple explanation for all these mistakes. 1

Fether Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) In Lord of the Rings the two towers Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are running across Rohan. They come across the Rohirrim they surround them. After Eomer confronts them and gets back on his horse, you can see his sword fall out of his sheath just as the camera cuts.

InCognitus Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 In the movie The Fifth Element, in the scene where Leeloo punches through the glass to grab the key card to make her escape, you can clearly see that the glass is pre-cut before she punches through the glass. 1

sunstoned Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 In saving private Ryan, in the last battle scene there is a close up of the turret of the German Tiger tank. That turret hatch that was used was from the top of a 55 gallon drum. I saw it right off. It ruined the movie for me. 1
Calm Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 The one that bugs me is when they are soaking wet and then suddenly dry. 1

By this point in the war, there were equipment shortages and it might just have well been the case that it was a field expedient repair to a tank for which they didn't have adequate spare parts. 1

I was thinking the same thing, especially when after reading sunstoned's post, I looked at a few photos of WWII tanks, and some of the hatches look a lot like 55 gallon drum lids. For example:
