From an over excited Sylvester Stallone to failing basic spelling, we look at 11 dumbest movie mistakes you missed.
- Terminator 2 – Magic Windows
- Now for a film about time travelling robots fighting, you need to have some suspension of disbelief. But windows that magically fix themselves?
- This mistake from Terminator 2 happens during the bike chase scene, where the T-1000’s windows get utterly destroyed and are back in the next short.
- These kinda mistakes happen all the time in action sequences but you don’t need Arnie’s cybernetic eyesight to catch this one.
- Cobra – Wearing a wire
- Actors like to improvise sometimes to give a scene that extra bit of “realness”, but Stallone was always going to take it too far.
- In his 80’s masterpiece “Cobra”, Ol Sly gets a bit too heated and rips a guy’s guys shirt open revealing the lapel mic underneath.
- But hey maybe it’s not a mistake at all and this guy is just actually wearing a wire…god Stallone just got that guy a pair of cement shoes.
- Jaws – A Comfortable Death
- Everyone knows that the shark prop in Jaws doesn’t exactly look very real but that’s not normally because of this little mistake.
- In the scene where Quint finally becomes fish food, a nice soft cushion can be seen inside the killer shark’s mouth. This was to help actor Robert Shaw deal with being side a giant, often malfunctioning prop for hours.
- But in the film it now means that Jaws has a pillow for a tongue, those teeth must really hurt but at least you have good lumbar support.
- Jurassic Park – “Live” Feed
- Few films in the 90’s could ever actually represent computers in any realistic way and Jurassic Park is one of the worst at it.
- During a scene where Nedry is making his escape plans, a shot shows a “live” feed of the docks, but a passing glance tells you that this is a media player window. There’s even a play button and bar.
- The park has some computer issues but this seems like one someone should have picked up on.
- Enemy at the Gates – Magic Kill
- A movie about a Russian sniper soooo good at what he does that his kill count goes up even he isn’t on duty.
- “Enemy at the Gates” is a film where Russian and Nazi snipers duke it out. In a scene where our hero is being handed a flyer proclaiming his kill count, the flyer goes from 4 kills to 5 kills in two different shots.
- I know the Russians were good at propaganda but this is just ridiculous.
- Usual Suspects – Magic Plane
- Lot’s a movies have that one generic shot of a plane landing to show a character arriving, but normally the plane doenst change between shots.
- The Usual Suspects is guilty of making this glaring error that would have pilots laughing. When the aircraft is shown from the front, we clearly see a 747 Jumbo jet but then in the next shot it’s suddenly missing two engines.
- Pretty sure those engines didn’t just fall off through magic. For some reason they combined footage of two completely different planes and the editor either didn’t notice or more likely didn’t care. A planes a plane, it doesn’t matter.
