My favourite movie mistake is in the Great Escape, when Steve McQueen steals a 1950's Triumph from time travelling, BMW riding Germans.

Robin Hood Prince of Theives, they walk from Dover to Nottingham in a day, via Hadrian's Wall on the Scottish border.

If you get the chance, watch the notorious 'Plan 9 From Outer Space', starring someone pretending to be Bella Lugosi, after he had inconveniently died. Gravestones move when brushed, flying saucers on strings cast shadows on the sky behind, and the whole shebang lurches from night to broad daylight and back again as they forget which scene is meant to be which. Laughing

Any film set in the UK with a train in it, Hayley braces herself and gets ready to roll her eyes as I notice the train is the wrong colour, in the wrong part of the country, and bearing a number it didn't carry until 1948......

Plenty of material here.

Interesting to see that top goofer is supposed to be Apocalypse Now with 394 'mistakes', I mean, isn't this supposed to be art? Artistic licence? Willing suspension of disbelief, and all that.

A Lad found me through... well, in his words:

I'd lurked at Moviemistakes.com, but I hadn't joined, so this bit remains a mystery.

Diamonds are forever .... Bond launches his car into a right wheeled ski... into a narrow alleyway - he emerges on the other side skiing on the left hand wheels. They then tried to fix it by having them switch skiing positions mid alleyway Laughing

(I suppose the ally suddenly got wide in the middle!)

I think in the movie "Spartacus" one of the Romans is wearing a wristwatch.

"Plan 9 From Outer Space" is so incredibly bad that's it's really fun to watch. The director, Edward Woods Jr., featured Bela Lugosi in many of his movies. At this point in Bela's life he was addicted to Morphine, and drinking turpentine.

Bela was supposed to star in this film, but he dropped dead before filming started. No problem. Woods just inserted some old footage that he had taken of Bela outside of his house smelling flowers, announced that the old man had dropped dead, and Woods then substituted his chiropractor for Bela's scenes. The chiropractor held his cape up over his face. Only problem was, the chiropractor was about a foot taller than Bela.

Woods fell in love with every shot. In "Bride of the Monster", another Ed Woods epic, the big Swede Tor Johnson went to leave a room, and ran into a wall. Woods left that scene in. At the end of the movie Bela Lugosi is attacked by a giant mechanical octopus (which Woods had stolen). Unfortunately the mechanics of the Octopus weren't working very well, so Lugosi ends up throwing tenacles on himself, screaming the whole time, in an effort to simulate being attacked by an Octopus. High comedy.

My all-time favorite was in an episode of a TV Western. Embarassed

I don't remember the series, but the scene remains engraved in my memory.

A stage coach pulled by four horses is thundering across the desert. At least, while the camera is on the actors driving the coach, there are four horses. Whenever a long shot is shown, there are six horses. Back and forth they go - four horses, six horses, four horses, six horses. My brother and I - not quite teenagers at the time - were rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter.

There's a great one in Gladiator, Second battle scene (i think) of Romans against the Barbarians, right in front of the camera there is a group of both Romans and Barbs cracking up laughing, there's tons more but i think thats pretty good, the amount of time and money spent doing those battle scenes and the editor completely misses a group of lads havin the craic in front of the camera

Edit: typo Gladiators is a woeful tv show,Gladiator is an excellent movie!

Was it gladiators that had a cart with an engine in it? It fell to one side and you could see some tanks and wires and things.

I always like the films where you can see another camera man through a window, or right in the background.
