Film Flubs

I looked around in the search but couldn't find anything like this but I apologize if there is.

I was curious what are some of the biggest film mess ups anyone has seen on finished Hollywood (or other "big" name films)?

One can go to some site like eeggs.com to find stuff like this, but let us see what you guys got. We all have see those parts too when they show a performer with a half a glass of milk, camera cuts, and now its full...but many of those are lames. What are some bigger ones?

Three that I can think of right off hand are:

1. Recently I saw on some VH1 show about the end of "Teen Wolf: when the game just gets over and everyone is rushing the floor. Camera cuts to a wide shot and you see a guy whip out his penis. THe DVD though blurs it out, but you can definately see what he is doing! :shocked: Those with a VHS are in for a "treat" I guess.

2. I haven't seen it for a while but the movie "Jack" starring Robin Williams. The part when he goes to school and is told to sit down in his desk and when they show him trying to sit in his desk (the first time) you can see a destroyed beside him. Well he doesn't fit in this desk and tries to sit in the desk beside him and it crumbles underneath his wait...this desk though was the one they showed destroyed before he sat down.

3. One of the bigger ones I have ever noticed and I am sorry, was from "Armageddon." I have seen this just once but someone told me about it. One of Bruce Willis workers was that shady guy, real manly man, not big actor in the film. When the workers were making their demands about what they would get if the go to the asteroid he was the one who asked for some people to get released from prison. Well, we see him one other time when the do the Real Stuff shot. But after that, he is then "erased" from the rest of the film never to be seen.

That's all I got, you?
 
The biggest film flub I've seen recently was at the beginning of Star Wars Episode 1: Attack of the Clones.

That flub lasted for about two and a half hours.

Yeah.

How do you really feel? :thumbsup:
 
One of the biggest flubs is the change in Bruce Willis's tee-shirt color in "Die Hard".

Paul Sorvino's dissapearing cigar in the resturant meeting in "Good Fellas".

A sunglass wearing Viking Woman in Roger Corman's "Viking Woman vs. The Sea Serpent" Of course he was doing 70 set-ups a day... cut him some slack.
 
The entire film "The Last Action Hero" (Arnold Schwarzenegger) was one continuity flub after another ... on purpose. There was even a contest for whoever found the most errors. Watch it with that in mind - makes it worth watching. :)

Wagon Train heading west ... jet contrail in the air (an Eastwood film, don't remember which one).
 
The ending to "The Green Berets". When the Duke, consoles the kid with the sunset in the background. Funny, Vietnam only had coast line on it's eastern side. ooops.
 
Smokey and the Bandit ... driving through Mississippi ... with the mountains in the background. Mississippi gets mountains about the same time hell freezes over and the Saints win the Super Bowl. :(
 
Braveheart. Mel Gibson's running with an axe, which turns into a sword, and then disappears, and then becomes an axe again. Think that's how the flub went. I just remember it being very obvious.
 
There was one scene in Jackie Chans first strike. It was when he was at the aquarium and the bad guys shot the glass and water rushed out everywhere. He had a white shirt and khaki pants and was soaked from head to toe, he ran outside and was completely dry again. I see that in a lot of movies though.

Bruce Willis and Cate Blanchett switch sides of the bed on the movie Bandits. The part where he sings Bright eyes to her before he slams it.
 
How about in the ever-classic "Mitchell" when the boom slips (very visibly) into the shot?
 
I wouldn't call it a huge movie but I still laugh about it when I think about this mess up. But is from the 2000 movie called Spiders.

The setting is in a white collar office setting, I think a newspaper or newstation, doesn't matter. Two performers are having a conversation then in the background you see this large older man dressed in black with a leather vest and bandana walk in and pause and look at the camera, do that "holy crap is that a camera" stutter and the jet out the door he came in. Probably part of set crew or something.

But I watched that part probably a dozen times, it was hilarious.
