I Just Watched a scene in Patch Adams where Patch and Truman have a conversation in the university Cafe. Truman is drinking a coke, he takes a swig and the camera changes, moments later, his drink changes shape. This happens three different times in the same scene.

This got me thinking about a thing which was on Channel 5 (Yes, Channel 5) which some of the greatest films ever made, making stupid mistakes (one included a gas cylinder on a chariot in Gladiator).

So here's the question:

What is the weirdest mistake (or worst editing) you have ever seen in a film?

Hope to here from you.

Grosse Point Blank - When Martin goes to visit Debbie at her home, he hangs his cap on the bed post, then goes to leave without picking it up. Then it magically appears back in his hand.

Still a cracking film though ;-)

Watching The Mummy Returns on Sky Premier a while ago i noticed a small mistake on one of the scene.

When Rick is on the double decker bus fighting the warrior mummy. We get a shot of Rick punching the warrior mummy is the face which is is all a grey colour. When we get a shot of the warrior mummy hitting the bridge we see his expression yet this time when we see his face, his tongue is pink not grey.

He was joking. The recording that raises the dead is in some obscure foreign language and the translation says that it's him and the producer on the side of the road. They play hitchhikers, and they're in more than one shot. If it was a mistake, why would they be in more than one shot? And why would Raimi and the producer be standing by the road in costume anyway? It's a cameo role, that's why. Raimi would be behind the camera, not in front of it. The chances of accidentily seeing a director are about the same as aliens coming down and blowing up the Whitehouse and being destroyed by water.

I noticed quite a big mistake in 'Next Friday'

In one scene, one of the Joker brothers isn't wearing a shirt, then the camera changes, he walks to the door to throw some girls out and he has a shirt on, then he enters the house again, camera switches, shirt is off again.

A bit wierd. It doesn't sound too strange here but if you see it you'll see how dumb it is.

I saw Murder by Numbers at cinema twice.

The first time I saw it in one of the scene a microphone thing on one of the big rods went all the way along the screen.

But the second time it didn't happen. They must have picked up on it.

Vote CrazyCol!

In Predator,when Carl Weathers is attacked by the creature who has just taken his arm off.
As Weathers turns slightly to one side screaming,you see his arm tucked behind his back.

In spawn when the kid is eating the sandwich, he spits it out then the camera pans of him and it's not in his hands and then pans off him again and the sandwhich re-appears.

In Star wars just after they have destroyed the deathstar when luke returns to the rebel base and he's getting out of the cockpit. Now when leia runs up he shouts carrie instead of her character name.

There is loads in Dune, loads in star wars i'll have to remember hat other films have them in and then post them.
