"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.

Well in an interview he actually said "How the hell did we let that get in" or something similar. So I take that as they werent meant to be in the shot and nobody actually picked it up when it was edited.

That's not a mistake, you're meant to see Raimi and the other guy (the producer I think) which is why they're so obviously standing there.

In The Evil Dead in one of the scenes where Ash is drining the car over the bridge you can see Sam Raimi in the background of the shot.

Also in Peter Jacksons "Bad Taste" you can see someone on the cliff face actually throwing buckets of stuff down thats suppose to be blood, guts etc.

Sometimes they frame a film incorrectly when shown at a cinema, which is why you can sometimes see boom mics etc. It happened in MIB when it first came out, it happened in Resident Evil (the version on Kazaa shows it loads of times, but on the DVD they are gone) and probably happened on Bounce.

Anyway, I've seen some classics before, but the most obvious one had to be some film with Christopher Lambert and some other guy. They'd just got out of prison and were handcuffed together. They went to this place to get some guns, and ended up aiming them at each other. Everytime it showed a wide shot of the two from the side, one of the guns was a semi-automatic (the kind where you put a magazine in and pull the slider) but when it cut to a close up from over the shoulder, the gun was a revolver (like a six shooter) Everytime they went back and forth, the gun in one of their hands changed (I forget which guy it was, and it may have been the other way around with the guns, but still, it was funny to watch)

Also, you can see the wire holding Sunny up in Commando when Arnie is holding him over the cliff. The the yellow car has a huge mark on it, then when they drive off it has disappeared. Classic.

And, the guy that is dead, is breathing. You can obviously see his chest rising and falling.

I remember going to see some lame romantic movie with sme 'gals.

It was called "Bounce" I think.

You could see the furry sound mic repeatedly dropping into the picture.

Unbreakable.

The ending.
There isnt one

Surely not? That would just be silly.

Here's another, after the first battle on Gladiator, when the camera is on Crowe, look at the top left and you'll see a cameraman. God, who edited this film?

Note: Retorical Question

Black Hawk Down sees one of the Delta Force characters wearing some Oakleys that were made in 1999 yet the film is set in 1993.
