	Movie Mistakes. Do You Catch Them ? Enter the AD-FREE zone

I must admit, I've never caught a single mistake on my own.
How do they do it? After watching for the umpteenth time, bored, and decide to look for flaws that certainly have to exist in all films?

there is a website that deals with them. Ahh I see you linked one.

They listed T2 having a mistake in the helicopter scene because T1000 had 3 hands. This is not a mistake! That thing can mold himself into any shape he pleases. He just molded himself another arm and hand.

I have caught a mistake only once. It was in "Lord of the Rings", the first one. In one of the scenes in Hobbiton, the characters stand still for a short while. At that moment, I noticed - there was a car driving in the background.

one interesting one in Ocean's 11...when Linus and (can't remember the name of Brad Pitt's Character...) are in the lobby of the Casino on stakeout, right before Tess comes down the stairs, Brad Pitt is eating shrimp cocktail off a plate, and when it switches back to him, he's eating shrimp cocktail out of a decorative glass bowl.

I even founded it on the site that Micheal the Great posted

quote: In one of the scenes in Rome leading up to a fight, leaflets are being handed out. These didn't exist, event notices were written up on boards.

I caught many mistakes on myself, mostly regarding aviation because i am fan of aviation and most of movie makers tends not to respect it much. Main mistakes regarding aviation:

1.Not the same planes where they should be the same (different airlines/types/etc. planes are used in diferent parts of the same movie. I believe in Home Alone plane when it took off was Boeing 727 and Douglas DC-10 when landed. In Air Force One cockpit of 747-400 was used while outside look was of the real Air Force One (747-200))
2.Impossible things to do when flying (like shooting through windows of supersonic airliner (movie Concorde: Airport'79), refueling a passenger jet in air, etc.)
3.Unrealistic work of pilots and their speeches to the approach (for example in movie "Glass Cockpit" approach says to the plane just airline name and first part of flightnumber, while it should say full flight number and add word "heavy" to the callsign due to size of the plane)

There are many more mistakes to mention...

Someone lent me the Pearl Harbour DVD... all the mistakes made the movie utterly hilarious!

But normally, I don't notice stuff like that. to those who have the patience to hunt down errors. I'd rather (try to) enjoy the movie.

I'm a pilot and several of my friends pilot light aircraft as well so we found Pearle Harbor riddled with errors. Did you folks see how the co-star acted while in the cockpit? He was constantly jumping around and using "lock to lock" corrections". Any moron trying to fly like that would quickly find himself in a death spiral.

I liked the angled flight decks on the carriers, the 4-bladed propellors on 1940-1 era Spitfires, the 'Knox' class frigates subbing for 1940's ships, etc, etc...

However, my favorite error was the nurse character accidentally getting pregnant. She's a NURSE, fercryinoutloud!!!!

The most funny mistakes regarding aviation I've found in book "Left Behind". One of main characters there is pilot and thus the book speaks about aviation much, but it seems neither of it's both authors understands anything about it. There were many mistakes about aviation in that book, most funny quoutes include:

(About pilot who flies UN general secretor's Boeing 757):
"Every pilot sometimes likes fast take-offs, thus he severly pushed accelerator pedal and that made UN general secretor to fall back a few salons"
Probably authors thinks that both pedals in planes are, like in cars with automatic transmission, for accelaration and braking .

Also in that book it was mentioned that US president changed it's plane from 747 to 757 cause 757 is so fast and powerful that it is even called "Porsche of planes" in the book. Also after that US president constantly flies around all the world on routes which would certainly be too long for 757.

Later in that book it is mentioned that UN general secretary secretly built a plane in some garage, "which is as big as two 747s (biggest plane ever built), but flies exacly as 757"

Harry Potter II:

quote: When the pixies are released in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class, it appears the characters were told to play up the chaos a bit, because it looks like Emma Watson, who plays Hermione, deliberately knocks her own books off her desk.

Not a good analogy... if you avoided Pearl Harbour like you've avoided syphilis, that would mean you stopped seeing all movies...

(sorry, couldn't resist.)

Anyway, it was a dumb, dumb movie and I wouldn't have paid to see it. Borrowing it from a friend to watch on a rainy day was my reasoning.

I liked Tora Tora Tora because it gave some time to the Japanese and the inner politics involved with the Navy and Army fighting over control of policy.
