"The "Nitpick a film" Thread"

Pick at a movie here.

I've been watching films for a few years now. No, really. And although they are my Number 1 passtime, I love picking holes in them.

So, a few for ya :

Commando : the bit where the yellow porsche gets turned over, watch it after arnie rights it again, as he drives off, the smashed to fff door is somehow pristine again.

robocop : as clarence boddiker gets thrown through a window, slow it down, the window smashes a whole second before he hits it.

robocop : watch the rocket ed-209 fires - there's a black wire guiding it.

predator 2 : in the first one when the pred takes his mask off, his vision goes all red, in the second one, he has it taken off and his vision is exactly the same.

ok, you got the idea, less-av'em.

Thats Hollywood for you Cubist!

You could always just go to www.moviemistakes.com but I guess we can say a few here. I don't notice many mistakes (I normally notice how things are connected, what they represent and so on) but recently when I went to see Bad Boys II I was amazed at how they constantly had magical repairing cars! For example in the chase at the start when they get cars chucked at them Will Smith says something like "Damn! My mirror!" or something when one of his car side mirrors gets smashed off but in the next scene both side mirrors are back.

Pearl Harbour:
Some bloke is leaving to go and fly a plane in a true "I'm american, hear me roar" fashion, and from the back the woman in wearin a scarf he gives to her, but from the front she isnt.

Harry Potter:
My sister told me this so I dunno if it is correct. Harry, the ginner lad and the bird are walking and from behind they are in one order but it shows then from the front and they're standing in a different order.

Any Given Horror Film:
How can the killer walk at a steady pace and the victim always run like Linford Christie on speed and yet the killer will always catch them?!

now that I've got to see, that's just terrible.

film makers - haven't got a clue

In Face/Off, when the bad guys get blasted and they fly back, you can see the wires that yank them - especially in the aircraft hangar shootout scene.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

That whole film is one BIG mistake.

When i watch a movie for the 1st time i always look for flaws first. Just to be awkward.

The Matrix...
when Neo and Morpheus are going to the Oracle's the camera shows Neo's hand moving closer to move the knob but if you slow it down you can see a camera reflection.

when Neo is trying to escape his office building, he opens the window and steps out to the ledge. When he turns the corner and grips the side column, he looks down and on the street level there're close to 100 people in the street. Neo drops the phone just a split second after the people were there, and now they are gone and all the cars on the street are in new spots.

At the end when Neo is being shot in the hallway, look closely at the ceiling. Note that there is nothing hanging from the ceiling. Later, when Neo gets up, and starts fighting the agent, if you look at the ceiling then, you see a bunch of wires and crap hanging from the ceiling.

there's a hell of alot more too.

Someone mentioned it. Darn.

The Matrix has so many flaws. But I won't go into them.

In the Bond film where he drives a car on two wheels through an alleyway, when it comes out it's on the other two wheels.

In Bullitt the same cars appear over and over.

On the topic if Steve Mcqueen, I say his magic bike that reaches the borders of swizerland in 15 minutes and beats an aeroplane in the great escape!
