"Weirdest Mistakes you've seen in films."

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.

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.

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.

Ok Well I was just going by what he actually said in a interview.

The matrix reloaded

Agat Smith is talking to Neo in the playground/park and you can see the camera man in his glasses!

Heh, my friend goes on about that all the time.

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 ;-)

Worst editing I saw was probably Johnny Mneumonic, they should have edited the whole film so that it lasted about as long as the trailer, at least that was bearable.

At the end of "Planet of the Apes" (original), Charlton Heston goes along the beach and some idiot's left a massive great chunk of the statue of liberty sticking out.
I bet somebody got in trouble for that..............!

Apes in charge of humans.....?
