15 movie mistakes

Starwars
When the stormtroppers break into the control room, the strom trooper on the right of the screen hits his head on the door frame. On the DVD release they’ve added a thump when he hits it.

Commando
The yellow Porsche is totally wrecked on the left side, until Arnie drives it away, and it’s fine.

Gladiator
In the “Battle of Carthage” in the Colosseum, one of the chariots is turned over. Once the dust settles you can see a gas cylinder in the back.

Spiderman
In the scene where Mary Jane is being mugged by four men, Spiderman throws two of the men into two windows behind Mary Jane. Then the camera goes back to Spiderman beating up the other two guys. When the camera goes back to Mary Jane the two windows are intact!

Terminator 3
In the scene where John & Catherine are in the hangar at the runway, the Cessna’s tail number is N3035C. When the plane is shown in the air, the number is N9373F. When they land, the tail number has changed back to N3035C.

The matrix
In the scene where Agent Smith is interrogating Neo, after Smith has sealed Neo’s mouth shut and he is backed into the corner, when the camera cuts back to Smtih you can clearly see a reflection in his glasses of Neo still sitting down in the chair.

The lord of the Rings
Merry and Pippin were bound when taken by the Uruk-hai, and the bonds weren’t cut until after they managed to escape druing the fight. Yet, when the horse almost crashed down on Pippin, he had his arms spread out up near his face, not bound, even though they weren’t cut until later. In the next shot, his hands are bound again.

Black Hawk Down
Near the end of the movie when the convoy is heading back to the Pakistan Stadium, a Humvee stops briefly to allow a man to walk across the street with a child in his arms. When the shot changes and the Humvee begins driving again, a crew member or cameraman is seen inside the Humvee wearing a white shirt.

Harry Potter
At the begining of the scene near the end of the movie with Lucius Malfoy fuming at Dumbledore in his office, Malfoy’s hair is fanned back behind his shoulders. The lighting in the room illuminates the back of his neck, where you can see his real, short brown hair.

American pie
In the bedroom scene the girl is holding a clear cup full of beer. The camera goes off her and when it comes back she is holding a blue cup. The camera goes back off her then on her and the cup is clear again.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Just as jack says, “On deck, you scabrous dogs,” to the very left edge of the screen over Jack’s shoulder is a grip crew member with a tan cowboy hat, white short sleeve T-shirt and sunglasses, just standing there looking.

Harry Potter
At the start of term feast, after Harry is sorted into Gryffindor, he sits down on the right side of the table next to Ron. When the feast appears, Harry is on the other side of the table, next to Hermione.

The lord of the Rings
In the second half of the film, Frodo has a scar on his lower right cheek, close to his chin. Many times throughout the rest of the film the scar changes position and size on his right cheek. It also appears on his left cheek in flipped shots (most obviously on the slopes of Mount Doom).

X-men
In the end , when the President is visited by the X-men, he receives a blue binder, which is laid in front of him on the table. When the have left, you see a shot including the President’s desk, and you can see that binder changed to white.

The lord of the Rings
As Boromir and Aragorn talk right before Boromir dies, you can see Boromir’s right hand gripping Aragorn’s left shoulder in the shot from behind Aragorn’s right shoulder, but when the camera view changes to Boromir’s perspective, looking up at Aragorn, his hand is not there. The scene goes back and forth between these two views serveral times.
