0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hello, everybody. And welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:29 > 0:00:34This is the show that shines a light at the immaculately dressed Hollywood film industry

0:00:34 > 0:00:38and reveals that it is actually flying low with its tackle rudely exposed.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Because our team of continuity error identification specialists

0:00:42 > 0:00:43or "geeks", as you may call them,

0:00:43 > 0:00:47have watched and re-watched hundreds of the greatest films ever made

0:00:47 > 0:00:51to bring you the cock-ups that the studios hoped you would never see.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53So, here are those mistakes -

0:00:53 > 0:00:58the ones that have made all that hard work ALMOST worthwhile.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00On tonight's show, mistakes from -

0:01:10 > 0:01:13The Star Wars franchise really is a minor masterpiece.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15How do you make a minor masterpiece?

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Well, start with a major masterpiece and then ruin it 20 years later

0:01:18 > 0:01:21with three rubbish prequels.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Apart from that cataclysmic movie mistake,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26there are several little 'uns in the movies themselves.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29And I'm not talking about the actors playing Ewoks!

0:01:31 > 0:01:35We start at the very beginning, with the seminal Star Wars,

0:01:35 > 0:01:37and one of the most famous cock-ups of all time.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40A cosmic moment for movie mistake spotters.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48Watch the stormtrooper on the right bang his head. Smashing, isn't it?

0:01:51 > 0:01:54On to the follow up, Empire Strikes Back.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Look carefully and you can see the soles of Chewie's trainers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02By the way, just a small thing, but given Chewbacca has no clothes on,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04why can't we see his sex organs?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10This man has just been murdered by the fearsome Darth Vader.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13A man so scary, people even obey him when they're dead.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Apology accepted, Captain Needa.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18There he is, doing the murder.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22But when Darthy-Baby asks for the victim to be removed, like so,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24watch how helpful the corpse is.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30"Let me, lads, you'll do your backs in!"

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh, my head!

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Jawas, R2-D2,

0:02:38 > 0:02:42the Ewoks, where would Star Wars have been without midgets prepared to dress up?

0:02:46 > 0:02:50But check this out. You can see the wee fella's eyes through his costume.

0:02:52 > 0:02:5520 years after the Star Wars films came out,

0:02:55 > 0:02:58George Lucas decided to hit us with another three.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Why he took this decision, nobody knows.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06Yet, if there is a reason to be happy, it's that the new films are as littered with clangers

0:03:06 > 0:03:07as the old ones.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I think Jar Jar Binks is an utter git

0:03:12 > 0:03:13and so does Anakin's mum.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16In this clip she pours water for the humans,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19but look closely, because when she pours for the alien,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21she makes sure nothing comes out.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24In anyone's book that must be racism.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27And if not racism, a great movie mistake.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33The Phantom Menace is a swashbuckling tale in which

0:03:33 > 0:03:36the Republic has an overly bureaucratic infrastructure,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39and levies a taxation on galactic trade routes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Any other choice... - My God, it's boring!

0:03:42 > 0:03:47So boring, the film-makers had to amuse themselves by inserting wardrobe mistakes.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52Watch as Senator Palpatine's collar changes from dark blue to dark green.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Round about...

0:03:54 > 0:03:55now!

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ah.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05A sensational scene here from the final prequel, Revenge Of The Sith.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Anakin is about to join the Dark Side, and become evil Darth Vader.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Heart-in-mouth stuff.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25But this magical moment is ruined by an unforgivable gaffe.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29So, look, there's nothing round his neck and chin.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35But in this shot, a bloomin' great neck brace is there.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Vader, you're a disgrace.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Suspension

0:04:42 > 0:04:46of disbelief

0:04:46 > 0:04:49is essential in the world of storytelling.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Without it, the whole facade comes crashing down.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55However, the mistakes you're about to see trounce our disbelief

0:04:55 > 0:04:59as soundly as Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies

0:04:59 > 0:05:01taking the head of his suit off and announcing,

0:05:01 > 0:05:05"I'm just an actor in a felt suit, we all are, and we hate children."

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Watch these.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12This is Mamma Mia.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16And mamma mia, this is a cowardly stuntman.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22You can see the cable holding him to the building, there.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Honestly, mate. Does your mother know?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Now, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Curse Of The Black Pearl.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34That well-known Western.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40At least, that's what this guy thinks it is.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42He's wearing a white shirt and a Stetson.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Same film now. And...

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Ooh, steady, Keira.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54But what's this? It's a cameraman's watch.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56And, embarrassingly for him, it's not even digital.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Troy, a film that was panned by the critics.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Although, while they were concerned with the acting and the script,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09my beef is with the treads on this man's sandals.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Yes, not the kind of modern design you'd expect in ancient Greece.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14That's why I only gave the film two stars.

0:06:16 > 0:06:22X-Men Origins. Feast your eyes on all these meaty mutton chops.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Tasty!

0:06:24 > 0:06:30But don't let these scene-stealers distract you from this great movie mistake.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35Now, you may ask, what's a blue light doing in the middle of a jungle?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Well, let me tell you.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's for the mock lightning, of course.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Frauds!

0:06:43 > 0:06:49Transporter 3. That's right, they made three of them.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Here goes Jason Statham, pelting after an ambulance.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Ah! Think we're going to need an ambulance.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02But what's this?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Either Jason has forgotten to remove one of his flesh-coloured earplugs,

0:07:06 > 0:07:09or that is a flesh-coloured piece of...flesh

0:07:09 > 0:07:11from one of the people in that ambulance.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, please, God, let it be the first.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Independence Day now, and Jeff Goldblum is throwing a tantrum.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Don't worry, he's probably just seen the reviews.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27But, no, come on. Let's immerse ourselves in the story.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Forget it's a film, go with it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32So, he's not Jeff Goldblum, he's David Levinson,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35confined in a top-secret underground military bunker.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37The aliens are trying to take over the world

0:07:37 > 0:07:40and, what does that say?

0:07:40 > 0:07:41"Art department"?

0:07:41 > 0:07:44So, is this all taking place on a movie set,

0:07:44 > 0:07:47and none of it's true? Oh, boo!

0:07:48 > 0:07:53Walt Disney once said it's kind of fun to do the impossible.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58Walt is sadly no longer with us. Clearly he didn't find resurrecting himself much fun.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02But his sentiment still holds true in Hollywood today.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Films often contain little moments that could never happen.

0:08:05 > 0:08:11If these impossible events are such fun, presumably the big film studios won't mind me pointing them out

0:08:11 > 0:08:16over the course of the next few minutes, and rubbing their nose in our nerdy genius.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Take that, Hollywood!

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Take that!

0:08:21 > 0:08:25War Of The Worlds, starring pocket-sized Tom Cruise.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Cruise may be one of the most powerful men in Hollywood,

0:08:28 > 0:08:31but that doesn't make him immune to daft boo-boos.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36As he throws the ball to his son, there's a clanger to be spotted.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Cruise throws the ball that smashes the window, except he can't,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44because his hand's empty.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Little Tom again, but this time in Minority Report.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Here, he kicks out the window of his car which

0:08:52 > 0:08:57is not a bright thing to do, bearing in mind that the car flies off the side of a building.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03But, look! The window is miraculously back.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Then again, maybe self-repairing glazing will be the norm in the future.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I really hope so!

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Next up, The Incredible Hulk and incredible is right.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20Bruce Banner is ringing his bell to announce that he's coming through.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25But look - there's no bell on the bike.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's not hairspray Tracy Turnblad deserves for this error,

0:09:33 > 0:09:39- it's pepper spray. Right in the eyes.- Take the whole lot in.- No!

0:09:39 > 0:09:43Here, we see her evade the police and emerge from the angry mob.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Yet, when we see her again, she's still in the midst of the crowd.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Pepper spray Turnblad now!

0:09:53 > 0:09:58As the tomb raiders raid a tomb in a scene from Tomb Raider,

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Daniel Craig is in two places at once.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04He was pulling on the rope a second ago.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06But look at him now.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09He's standing by the tomb entrance, the little tinker.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Jurassic Park.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Incredible. Awe-inspiring.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25I don't mean the dinosaurs - if they were any good, they wouldn't have snuffed it, would they?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28No. I mean this mistake.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29And rewind.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32See Ellie stood in front of the sat-down Alan?

0:10:32 > 0:10:34But now watch. She walks forwards,

0:10:34 > 0:10:38and comes up behind him. Boo!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47This scene is part teen movie, part Benny Hill sketch.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52As Lindsay Lohan knocks these tapes on the floor, we've got issues.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55She knocks them all behind her, but then she slips on one in front of her.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Take another look.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04Just as well she did. That ladder could have taken her face off.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11Out and out violence now, and He's Just Not That Into You.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Janine has just found Ben's cigarettes in his pocket.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16And she's not best pleased.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18But wait for this boo-boo.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22When she grabs the mirror, the glass is facing her.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26But in the next shot, it's magically flipped over.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29You know what will make everything better? A nice cup of tea.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Run along now, love, and get the kettle on.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Now, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Something which anyone who's seen the film might want to do!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Judging by the mistakes, I can only think the director was taking

0:11:43 > 0:11:50a leaf out of Russell Brand's book, and dreaming about girls instead of keeping his mind on the job. Tut!

0:11:52 > 0:11:53It's no problem, honestly.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Forgetting Sarah Marshall was, of course,

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Russell Brand's cinematic debut.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02But they should have called it forgetting Sarah Marshall is 5'1".

0:12:02 > 0:12:05In this shot, Sarah is way above his shoulder.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Oh, OK.- OK.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12But cut to the reverse, and she's much closer to groin height.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Just as Russell likes it.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- So this is... - In this shot, she is stood on steps.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20How do I know? Because you're about to see her walk down them.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Steady.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Yes, got it.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Wondering why these guys are looking so awkward?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Perhaps it's because they know

0:12:30 > 0:12:32a continuity error is about to stink the scene out.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Watch as Sarah drains her glass of Ribena. Mmm!

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Well, this is awkward.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46But a second later, it's half full again.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50There we go. We've just witnessed a modern-day miracle.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57High School Musical now.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00As well as being strewn with errors, these films are also full

0:13:00 > 0:13:04of those annoying performers who dress up in Lycra, and frolic around as if to say,

0:13:04 > 0:13:06"Oh, look at me, look how good I am at dancing!

0:13:06 > 0:13:09"Look at me dancing, I'm cool!"

0:13:09 > 0:13:13It was different when I did it for Comic Relief. That was for charity.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Which makes it different, OK?

0:13:16 > 0:13:21Anyway, cast your peepers across these schoolboy and schoolgirl errors.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25You watch High School Musical

0:13:25 > 0:13:28dozens and dozens of times in your bedroom, and think,

0:13:28 > 0:13:32"How come all those girls are so mouth-wateringly slender?"

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Well, here's how. They're not eating their dinners.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39The lovely Gabriella gazes listlessly at her grub.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Troy, hey!

0:13:43 > 0:13:48And switches her attentions to Troy, and look - it's gone!

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Here's Troy again. And he's realised that he's late

0:13:55 > 0:13:58for a much-needed music lesson with Gabriella.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Troy, of course, is a schoolboy. And he's about to make an error.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's quite literally a massive cock-up.

0:14:04 > 0:14:10He's doing a scene where he has to check the time so what's the one prop you don't want to forget?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Your watch.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Yeah, go on. Run off.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22This performance suggests that the music lesson

0:14:22 > 0:14:25was a pathetic waste of everyone's time.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Gabriella's bottled it beyond belief, missing her cue and then just standing there looking stupid.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I can't do it, Troy. Not with all these people staring at me.- Hey.

0:14:36 > 0:14:42- Look at me.- Quick pep talk from Troy who puts her at her ease by showing her his ridiculous haircut.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43And she's ready to go again.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Like kindergarten.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Here's the intro from Charlie Chaplin on piano.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59# We're soaring... #

0:14:59 > 0:15:03But now it turns out that it wasn't even her cue, it was Troy's.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05HE was the one who was supposed to start.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Oh, amateurs.

0:15:08 > 0:15:09# It's the trying... #

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Would you trust Gabriella with your life?

0:15:14 > 0:15:15- Not!- Me neither.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18But here she is in Baywatch mode.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Watch carefully because when she's called into action, a stunt double

0:15:25 > 0:15:30with a different build, age and ethnicity, is used for her dive.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Why that even needs a stunt double, I do not know.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Check her out, she's nothing like Gabriella.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43I got you, I got you, it's OK.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Actually, no, Gabriella, it's NOT OK.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51Good old Kelsi, she's so kooky.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53She wears glasses and everything.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57And she manages to DJ and be on the dance floor at the same time.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02So there she is on the decks,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04and yet now she's throwing shapes on the dance floor

0:16:04 > 0:16:08that suggest she's been getting stuck into the White Lightning.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Teenagers, eh?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yo, yo, yo, it's lunchtime.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17It's lunchtime at East High

0:16:17 > 0:16:20and everyone's heading to the canteen to stuff their faces.

0:16:21 > 0:16:27Everyone that is, except for Chad, he's clutching his basketball ready to "shoot some hoops".

0:16:29 > 0:16:34But rewind again and there's no sign of him on the wide shot. Explain that.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seem to be the perfect couple

0:16:40 > 0:16:46and I for one am very happy for these beautiful multi-millionaire superstars.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Yet even these paragons of utter perfection

0:16:49 > 0:16:52have been known to let errors slip through into their movies.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54In this section, Angelina in particular

0:16:54 > 0:16:58makes some of her silliest errors since picking Brad instead of me.

0:16:58 > 0:17:03I can only assume she never received my letters.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Yeah?

0:17:06 > 0:17:08This is the film Mr And Mrs Smith,

0:17:08 > 0:17:12in which Brad and Angelina play your typical bored, married couple

0:17:12 > 0:17:15who spice their lives up by killing people for money.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18When the door's opened, Angelina is on Brad's right.

0:17:18 > 0:17:24- Nice. You guys are... - But now, she's on his left.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Doh!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Same film and here, as we admire Angelina's dancing

0:17:35 > 0:17:40without having to position ourselves at the end of her driveway with a telephoto lens,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43we can see that she clearly has no tattoos.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49She does here, though. Or is that an ornate bruise?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51You decide.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58This one looks painful, but can you see the boo-boo?

0:17:59 > 0:18:00Ah!

0:18:03 > 0:18:08Angie's car hit Brad's so hard, his jacket comes off.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10- Oof!- Ah!

0:18:10 > 0:18:15I once had a similar crash but rather than losing my jacket, I lost the use of my right arm for a year.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Never mind.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22This time, the gorgeous couple are in a lift, sorry, "elevator",

0:18:22 > 0:18:24both packing machine guns.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28The doors open and they let rip.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35And if you absolutely had to take a dozen bullets in the chest,

0:18:35 > 0:18:39who better to riddle your torso with lead than the lovely Angelina?

0:18:39 > 0:18:44Ah. Anyway, when the doors open a second time, she's holding a pistol.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48They've swapped sides and the elevator light's gone off.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Is this shot even from the same film?

0:18:54 > 0:18:58In this clip, Brad dumps this body in the back of a van.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02He's struggling to shut the van doors,

0:19:02 > 0:19:07but don't worry, this van comes with a sweaty man as an optional extra.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Let's take another look.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Brad shuts the doors of the van

0:19:11 > 0:19:13but, oh, look, there's the hired muscle

0:19:13 > 0:19:16keeping the doors closed. What a vehicle!

0:19:18 > 0:19:22- I want everybody out of here right now.- Hey.

0:19:22 > 0:19:27Sticking with Brad, this is one of the many, many fights in Fight Club.

0:19:27 > 0:19:33I suppose the name's a bit of a giveaway. As well as Brad's face, rhyme and reason also get a pasting.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35No, I didn't quite catch that, Lou.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40Because there's no sense in Brad's mouth bleeding after this first punch,

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- like so.- Still not getting it.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47But then not bleeding after the second punch.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Ah, go on, hit him again.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55This is Angelina in Changeling.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00In the film, Angelina plays your normal, 1950s run-of-the-mill mum.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03In real life, she's a 21st-century style icon with tattoos.

0:20:03 > 0:20:08How will they hide them in the shower scene? Answer - they don't.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Whoops!

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Mmm.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Wanted now, and here's one not to do.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Don't make a basic continuity error like this,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27changing your hair from down...

0:20:27 > 0:20:30into a ponytail.

0:20:30 > 0:20:35Oh, and don't go jumping onto moving trains.

0:20:35 > 0:20:40So, two things not to do. In fact, concentrate more on the second one.

0:20:42 > 0:20:47As we all know, the phrase "chick flicks" refers to films or "flicks" aimed primarily at women.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51In no way does it refer to movies that were written and directed by baby chickens.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Although given how stupid some of these mistakes are, I wouldn't be so sure.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58These clips truly are bird-brained!

0:21:03 > 0:21:05This is Confessions Of A Shopaholic,

0:21:05 > 0:21:06which stars Isla Fisher

0:21:06 > 0:21:09and which I've genuinely never heard of before today.

0:21:09 > 0:21:15Now, you know those middle-aged women with ponytails that disappear when you say the word "Miami"?

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- In Miami?- Oh, Luke. I think I should definitely be there.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Let's watch that again.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- (Biggest magazine event of the year.)- In Miami?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- And the woman's gone. - I think I should definitely be there.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32I can only assume I must have said "Miami" to my girlfriend last year.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, well.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Now, seven-inch tall Isla Fisher

0:21:38 > 0:21:40is having sunglasses problems.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Here, her shades are white.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45..consider taking your own advice? Mom, calm.

0:21:45 > 0:21:50- What would the girl in the green scarf say about hiding Visa bills under your bed?- Still white.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53And then a woman dressed as a blancmange lands on top of her.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56And they're a wonderful... chestnut brown.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01- No!- Maybe it rhymes with fluke. - Luke.- Note that the price tag is still on these brown ones

0:22:01 > 0:22:03from whichever shop she lifted them from.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Yet, call the police and tell them this and they just don't want to know.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Unbelievable.- No, no.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Next, The Devil Wears Prada.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18And that's Anne Hathaway picking up her early morning bagel.

0:22:18 > 0:22:24And as we now enjoy some shots of ladies in swish outfits, something very odd is happening to that bagel.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27# She's got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see

0:22:27 > 0:22:29# Yeah, yeah... #

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yes, it's turned into a pair of brown leather gloves.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Or was I dreaming that?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Because the bagel's back again.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40The moral here, never fully trust a bagel.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44This is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Something you can do in ten minutes

0:22:47 > 0:22:49just by leaving him to browse in Dixons.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Oh, this is a good day.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Guys...- See how these three disturbed women openly ogle

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Matthew McConaughey, like he's some kind of piece of meat.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Urgh.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Stripes. And allow...

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Just have to watch a bit of Matthew McConaughey acting.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I represent the entire industry.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Now the women walk back to their desks.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14There's the one in the black top, there she is. Yep, she's gone.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19And they magically reappear where they were. They just can't get enough.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26The film also stars Kate Hudson, a woman whose beauty can make knees

0:23:26 > 0:23:30go weak, heads turn and mugs change colour.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Keep an eye on Matt's black mug.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Muffin?- It turns into a sort of beige-y colour.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Weird.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Oh, good. This is the wildly popular American sport of netball.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Or is it gridiron?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Whatever. By the way, the timings are all over the shop.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54At the start of the clip, the scoreboard says there's 1:09 to go.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- ..I'll go up and get it. - I'm really thirsty.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- I'll go get it.- Right now?- Yes.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06But what's this? Now the scoreboard says there's seven minutes to go.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- And now five seconds.- Shoot it!

0:24:16 > 0:24:19And as the game ends, 2:45.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Oh, yes? Lucy has tennis forehead.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Here's the bumbling Hugh Grant in Two Weeks Notice.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29And "bumbling" is the word

0:24:29 > 0:24:32because he can't decide what's in his right hand.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35First he's got a coffee pot, nothing unusual about that.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38- What was it again? - And then what? Oh, a plastic spoon.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41For the New York Children's League...

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Now his hand's empty. Oh, plastic spoon again.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Sounds exciting.- Coffee pot.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50What's it going to be next?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Mm...

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Oh, that's a new one, milk.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- See you later. - Looks like he's settled on the milk.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Yeah. Oh, it's the coffee pot again.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Sloppy. Very, very sloppy.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Karaoke, you either love it or you hate it.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Or you're somewhere in between the two.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21In this clip from PS I Love You, we're concerned with the shot glass in Gerard Butler's right hand.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23- It's in his hand.- Who wants a shot?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And it's gone.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27It's gone.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31There is no shot glass in his... And it's back, it's back again!

0:25:31 > 0:25:35PS I Love You? PS Sack The Props Guy, more like.

0:25:35 > 0:25:41Or at the very least, suspend him without pay pending a full investigation.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42I love Holly, I do.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Same film for this, and as Gerard performs

0:25:47 > 0:25:51a traditional American sex dance, see if you can spot the gaffe.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Ow!

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Spot it?

0:25:57 > 0:25:58No?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Well, check this out.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Clip falls under the table

0:26:07 > 0:26:10but then it's miraculously reattached itself

0:26:10 > 0:26:11to the end of his braces.

0:26:11 > 0:26:16Now, some would say that we went to quite a lot of effort for what was a fairly minor movie mistake.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19And for what it's worth, I'd agree.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Hello, my name is Joy's Bitch.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26So this is What Happens In Vegas.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Watch what happens to the sticker that Cameron Diaz

0:26:29 > 0:26:32has just stuck to the top of that dress.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35I'd no idea you were so much fun. She's very serious at work.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Next time we see it, it's dropped several inches.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41If you did, I'd have to kill you.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Seriously.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46And now it's askew.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50If that's What Happens In Vegas, I don't think I'll bother going.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Children have always been by some distance

0:26:57 > 0:26:59the dimmest idiots in society.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03The littler ones can't even walk or talk.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07And yet we put them in films and expect them not to make childish errors like these.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Who are the real fools, them or us?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's them.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19This is School Of Rock in which Jack Black plays Dewey Finn,

0:27:19 > 0:27:21a loser who pretends to be a teacher.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25You really do get swept along in Dewey's touching journey of self-discovery

0:27:25 > 0:27:29and forget that it's just Jack Black acting.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33That is, until a girl breaks the illusion by calling him Jack.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Listen.- Jack!

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Love it. That's worth hearing again.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Ears at the ready.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42Jack!

0:27:46 > 0:27:49If you want to know what the Scottish town of Falkirk

0:27:49 > 0:27:51looked like 800 years ago,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54either watch this film, Braveheart, or just go there now.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59What, you found that funny, did you?

0:27:59 > 0:28:03Robert the Bruce is looking over a rotting corpse and two kids have lost their father

0:28:03 > 0:28:05and you're laughing?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12No? Well, she is.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16Look, she's laughing at the death of her own dad.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Probably drunk.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24For God's sake, man. There are women and children down here.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27The sinking of the Titanic, heart-in-mouth stuff.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Get back.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33As someone whose pedalo once capsized in a boating lake in Devon,

0:28:33 > 0:28:36I can tell it must have been a truly terrifying ordeal.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38But this cool customer doesn't think so.

0:28:41 > 0:28:46While everyone else is panicking, he's looking right down the lens and not giving a tinker's cuss.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Jack!- Fabrizio!

0:28:49 > 0:28:52Mmm, that ruined the film for me. That and everything else about it.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01All-time classic North By Northwest now, in which

0:29:01 > 0:29:05director Alfred Hitchcock proves that he's a master of suspense.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07He always kept audiences guessing,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10you never knew what was going to happen next.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Except here, where the boy putting his fingers in his ears

0:29:13 > 0:29:16suggests there's probably going to be a loud bang.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Sure enough, how good is that?

0:29:23 > 0:29:27Film directors employ people to work on continuity.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30These highly-paid specialists are on set with Hollywood A-listers

0:29:30 > 0:29:33to make sure there are no obvious flaws between scenes.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37That's their job, to hang out with the most famous people on the planet and spot the odd mistake.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40And yet they can't even get that right.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yes, these imbeciles have left mistakes

0:29:42 > 0:29:47smeared all over these movies like it's some kind of celluloid dirty protest. Urgh.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Don't remember me, do you?

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Have a look at this scene from Gangs Of New York.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57One word - bag.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Two words - watch it.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02When the natives took you.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Eight words - because it keeps changing position throughout the scene.- That was you?

0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Mmm.- I thought you was killed.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12Mmm. Ah. Yeah.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14They just locked me up, you know that?

0:30:16 > 0:30:20And that's not the only glaring continuity error

0:30:20 > 0:30:22that Leo makes. Bless him.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Keep an eye on this bit of paper.

0:30:24 > 0:30:29Watch how he hands it over unfolded, and cut to this shot of it folded.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I love origami.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37And for those that can't get enough of Leo,

0:30:37 > 0:30:41the film-makers here have littered him all over this scene.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- He's here with his buddies. - That's right!

0:30:44 > 0:30:46But he's also here in front of the crowd.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50I wonder where we'll see him next.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Mmm.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Oh, here he is 150 years later in The Departed.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Getting violently assaulted by Jack Nicholson.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03But who needs injurylawyers4u,

0:31:03 > 0:31:06because Jack also provides on-the-spot compensation.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09And did you see the error?

0:31:09 > 0:31:11The money's swapped from his left to right hand.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14There, he's firm but fair enough.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18And if I'm honest, I wish Jack Nicholson was my dad.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I'm going to get you.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26Same film, same lack of continuity checking. It's appalling.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29See how this line of angels walk behind the woman in the colourful dress,

0:31:29 > 0:31:33but from this angle there's no sign of them.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Maybe they went up to heaven.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38No, there they are.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45Saving Private Ryan now, the story of a haunted helmet.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48And also the small matter of the Second World War.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50But let's focus on the helmets.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57He knocks them off the shelf.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Can I bring my typewriter, sir?

0:32:02 > 0:32:05But in a rare example of wartime poltergeist activity,

0:32:05 > 0:32:08one of them's popped itself back up there again. Spooky.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14Here's another continuity error, The Holiday,

0:32:14 > 0:32:18and Cameron Diaz is going mental in someone else's house.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Ooh, don't spill that red wine on the carpet, it stains.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23I think you should just put it down.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Well done. As you were.

0:32:26 > 0:32:31# Open up my eager eyes... #

0:32:33 > 0:32:35What do you love...?

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Almost Famous now and watch how Stillwater lead guitarist

0:32:38 > 0:32:42Russell Hammond chucks the clothes from his chair onto the floor.

0:32:42 > 0:32:43There.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47But hang on, kiddo, they're back again. Nice tache, though.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Look at it, perched proudly on the top of Russell's lip.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57Here, as the beautiful Penny Lane prepares to take a dump,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00a shocked William Miller knocks his Post-its onto the floor.

0:33:00 > 0:33:05But look - the Post-its are back again!

0:33:06 > 0:33:10Get out of there, William, and shut the door behind you.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Sweat-stained comic book nerds won't want to hear it,

0:33:15 > 0:33:19but there are even movie mistakes in the brilliant X-Men films.

0:33:19 > 0:33:24That's X-Men, not any other film with X in the title because, believe me, adult interest videos

0:33:24 > 0:33:30can sour a family's evening entertainment if you mistakenly leave one in the DVD player.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Sorry, Mum.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37This is X-Men 3, and the character Magneto,

0:33:37 > 0:33:40a cross between a magnet and a Cornetto.

0:33:40 > 0:33:45Watch, as Magneto descends from the sky, it's daylight...

0:33:45 > 0:33:50But he knows that if he can just lock this woman's car door,

0:33:50 > 0:33:53that the world will be plunged into darkness.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Nice feature, isn't it? That model also comes with airbags and AVS brakes.

0:33:57 > 0:34:000% finance until spring 2011.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06In this clip from X-Men 2,

0:34:06 > 0:34:11Billy saves Wolverine from the evil Stryker by creating a wall of ice.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14But watch how the ice on this wood panel suddenly disappears.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16But we won't.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Go!- And it's gone.- Go!

0:34:27 > 0:34:32But is it a movie mistake, or has it defrosted?

0:34:32 > 0:34:35I don't know. And to be honest, I don't care.

0:34:39 > 0:34:43This is the start of X-Men, and a young Magneto and his father

0:34:43 > 0:34:45are being herded into a concentration camp.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Not a chirpy start, but watch for the Star of David.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53See how it goes from the left-hand side of his father's coat...

0:34:58 > 0:35:01..to the right side!

0:35:01 > 0:35:05But we should probably give the guy a break - he is in a concentration camp.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12In this scene, cigar-chomping Wolverine has a window problem.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Watch closely, because the window next to him is shut.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19But all of a sudden it's all the way down.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25And now it's gone up a bit.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28But however open or closed this window may be, Wolverine should

0:35:28 > 0:35:31remember that even superheroes can get mouth cancer.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35But then when you watch this clip,

0:35:35 > 0:35:39the mouth cancer looks like it's the least of Wolverine's worries.

0:35:45 > 0:35:46See what I mean?

0:35:46 > 0:35:49But hang on, didn't he just fly through that windscreen?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54It's miraculously repaired itself.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Maybe that's why she's looking so confused.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Yes, mm.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Sorry, just catching up on a bit of reading.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Notice anything odd there?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12Of course you did - I can't read.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15So what use would I have with a book?

0:36:15 > 0:36:19But what you won't have spotted is that I took my glasses off twice,

0:36:19 > 0:36:23which is the kind of blunder we'll be seeing a lot more of in this next section.

0:36:23 > 0:36:28Yet, whereas I did it on purpose, stupider and worse actors than me frequently do it without realising.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32And for that, my dear viewers, they have earned my eternal contempt.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Here's another scene from Gangs Of New York.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Here's one of the few errors more off-putting

0:36:43 > 0:36:46than Cameron Diaz trying to pass herself off as a ginger.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49..lying off the foot of Wall Street. They are ready to open fire...

0:36:49 > 0:36:52Let's look at that once more.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56See how she clambers up the side of this box?

0:36:56 > 0:36:59On the following wide shot she's a good three yards away.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Boo!

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Fans of sand will already know that this is the film The Mummy.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10And then there was light!

0:37:10 > 0:37:14But don't let all that lovely, lovely sand distract you from this howler.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Oh, my God...

0:37:16 > 0:37:19The guy in the braces here picks up the bag of tools.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23And then, for reasons only known to himself, does it again.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26What a tool!

0:37:30 > 0:37:32This is The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor,

0:37:32 > 0:37:34or Mummy 3 as it's better known.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Watch for the gaffe.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Did you spot it? Of course you did.

0:37:41 > 0:37:46This unlucky bleeder falls into the gaping chasm, not once

0:37:46 > 0:37:49but twice in the space of one second.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53I probably don't even fall into a gaping chasm twice an hour.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58- I wrote those e-mails.- Now then, the devil may wear Prada,

0:37:58 > 0:38:01but does Anne Hathaway's father wear spectacles?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Because he's not wearing any here.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06But all of a sudden, he is!

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Wait for it, because he's about to take them off twice.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Here, and here.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15By the way, if you've never seen The Devil Wears Prada,

0:38:15 > 0:38:19it's sort of halfway between a chick flick and an anti-Christ movie, essentially.

0:38:23 > 0:38:28If... If you like Bond movies, you'll love the Jason Bourne films.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Because they're the same. No, I'm joking!

0:38:30 > 0:38:33In fact, I've been legally instructed to point out that these

0:38:33 > 0:38:37action-packed stories of maverick secret agents with the initials JB

0:38:37 > 0:38:39are, in fact, entirely different.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Maybe Jason Bourne likes his Martinis stirred not shaken.

0:38:42 > 0:38:47Anyway, like the Bond movies, the Bourne films have some silly errors in them.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55This is The Bourne Identity, the first film in the series.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59Note how a steel platform Bourne's hiding under has hardly any snow on it.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03But 15 seconds later...

0:39:03 > 0:39:07One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Are we really going to make them wait? Seriously?

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Yes, 15 seconds later...

0:39:12 > 0:39:15it's covered in the stuff!

0:39:15 > 0:39:17That was worth the wait, wasn't it?

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Now, can someone shut that door, you're letting a draught in. Cheers.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24You need to pay me back...

0:39:24 > 0:39:26In this scene a man actually dies,

0:39:26 > 0:39:29and here I am about to take the mickey out of it. Oh, well!

0:39:32 > 0:39:35So, where's the clanger?

0:39:35 > 0:39:38See how the first two bullets clearly come through the bottom pane.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42But on the external shot, those bullet holes are in the top pane.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46It's the continuity man, or even lady, that deserves a bullet for this one.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51'Jason Bourne is armed and extremely dangerous.'

0:39:51 > 0:39:52The Bourne Supremacy now.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Listen to Landy's words here.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59- I want you to secure that area. - "I want YOU to secure that area."

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Yet later in the film when Bourne plays back that recording...

0:40:05 > 0:40:06The line has become...

0:40:06 > 0:40:11- 'I want that area secured.' - "I want that area secured." - 'I want it done right now.'

0:40:11 > 0:40:13I want you to secure that area. 'I want that area secured.'

0:40:13 > 0:40:17How do you like them apples? They're nice, aren't they? Juicy and that.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Now The Bourne Ultimatum.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24And I have a Bourne Ultimatum of my own.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Stop making silly errors in these films or I'll stop watching them.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30I mean, just watch this clip.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Is Bourne's jacket done up, or undone?

0:40:35 > 0:40:37It's done up.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40Now it's undone.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43What's it going to be next?

0:40:43 > 0:40:46Come on, Bourne, what's it going to be? I reckon undone.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Yeah, it's definitely going to be undone.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50I'm sure of it.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Oh, dammit, it's done up! What next?

0:40:53 > 0:40:55I'm going with done up. Oh, undone!

0:40:55 > 0:40:58He's just messing with me now.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00OK, third time lucky.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02I'm going to go for undone.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Oh, for crying out loud!

0:41:10 > 0:41:12A scrap from the same film now.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15Note that the sink is dislodged from the wall, now.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20But after a second period of some of the quietest fighting I've ever seen...

0:41:20 > 0:41:22the sink's back!

0:41:22 > 0:41:25The irony of that, if you can call it irony, is that while this

0:41:25 > 0:41:29sink was fixed in seconds, my toilet has now been blocked for eight days.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36For poor Jason Bourne it's quite literally one thing after another.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40A spot of hotwiring here, is followed by two head-on collisions.

0:41:41 > 0:41:45Oh, ah! And a hit-and-run. Ooph!

0:41:48 > 0:41:51But what's this? Somehow the front of his car is totally unmarked,

0:41:51 > 0:41:52which you have to say is just...

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Watch out, Jason, they've got guns!

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Oh, poor lamb.

0:42:00 > 0:42:05Many of you won't have been around in the 1970s, so let me give you the headlines.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08It was the decade when fashion, music and politics stood still.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Pretty much every area of life went into a sort of coma.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15My birth, in 1972, perked things up for the world quite a bit,

0:42:15 > 0:42:18but generally it was the worst decade since decades were invented.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20But there was one exception.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23For movie mistakes, it was a bumper time.

0:42:28 > 0:42:29This is The Godfather -

0:42:29 > 0:42:34amazing cinematography, world class acting, sensational script,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36rubbish fighting.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40Just watch how far away the punches are going from making contact.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43They're still making a noise.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48Maybe it's some elaborate form of street theatre. It's certainly drawn a crowd.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56This is a terrific one from the very end of Stephen King's Carrie.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58A lot of people who saw this

0:42:58 > 0:43:00commented on what an eerie walk this girl does.

0:43:00 > 0:43:05Well, to get this effect they're actually just playing the film in reverse.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08So, when it was recorded, she was walking backwards.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11What they forgot about was the traffic.

0:43:13 > 0:43:18If you watch again, you'll see a red VW Beetle that looks like it's reversing up the road.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27Then, there's another car that appears to be reversing right across the junction.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30See it? That's a classic.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36This is Jaws, and special credit has to go to the film's incredibly

0:43:36 > 0:43:38talented shark trainer, Buddy McGhee.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Or Buddy "No Arms" McGhee, as he's now called for some reason.

0:43:41 > 0:43:45Watch this poor guy. His right foot clearly has no shoe on.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55Yet when the shark, let's call him Jaws, takes a bite out of him,

0:43:55 > 0:43:59his right leg falls into the sea bed with a trainer on.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06This is The Boys From Brazil,

0:44:06 > 0:44:09and proof that even the dead don't like dust in their eye.

0:44:09 > 0:44:13It stars Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier, and in a moment you'll see young Steve Guttenberg

0:44:13 > 0:44:18during his finest work outside of Police Academy 6.

0:44:18 > 0:44:22Watch as the freshly-murdered Guttenberg slides down the wall.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25And then his eyes slightly give him away.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Ah, he's not dead, he's only acting.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31The little winker.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34Whoops, Steve!

0:44:37 > 0:44:40The Oscar-winning Rocky, a silver screen classic

0:44:40 > 0:44:42written by Stallone, who cast himself

0:44:42 > 0:44:45as the heavyweight champion of the world.

0:44:45 > 0:44:50The film is to believability what Stallone is to clear enunciation.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53I sometimes think he's not even trying to suspend our disbelief.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55Watch this.

0:44:58 > 0:45:02When the corner man goes to cut Rocky's eye, he's not even holding a knife,

0:45:02 > 0:45:05it's just a squirty tube of blood, right there in front of us.

0:45:07 > 0:45:08Oh, please!

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Mmm.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Movie stars adore their food.

0:45:19 > 0:45:24There's nothing these Hollywood A-listers love more than wolfing down a posh three-course meal,

0:45:24 > 0:45:27before excusing themselves and spattering it all over

0:45:27 > 0:45:30the back of the restaurant's porcelain toilet bowl.

0:45:30 > 0:45:34That desperation to keep themselves thin might explain why they go

0:45:34 > 0:45:37to pieces whenever a scene asks them to interact with grub.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Just look at these baffling attempts.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46This is Kazakhstan's answer to Phillip Schofield,

0:45:46 > 0:45:49a dashing TV presenter called Borat.

0:45:49 > 0:45:53The error here concerns the tray of food you're about to see.

0:45:53 > 0:45:58The old guy brings it up the stairs, and the blue cups are quite clearly on his left. There we are.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02I wonder what might happen?

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Oh, look, now they're on his right.

0:46:09 > 0:46:10Now his left again.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13- How are you?- Great!

0:46:13 > 0:46:15Getting settled in?

0:46:17 > 0:46:19And now they're on his right.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22Is nice! No, it's not, it's deceitful.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28The Sweeney was a '70s cop show

0:46:28 > 0:46:30in which civilians were routinely given a good slap.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33Sweeney Todd is completely different.

0:46:33 > 0:46:39But the boy here clearly needs a good wallop too, for this glaring continuity error.

0:46:39 > 0:46:44One minute he's wolfed down half his pie. There.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46The next, it's almost untouched.

0:46:48 > 0:46:52What, is he spitting out mouthfuls of food and packing the mush back into the side of the pie?

0:46:53 > 0:46:56Oh, he is? Oh, right. Well, in that case, do him no harm.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01Who likes watching films? Yeah!

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Who likes reading books?

0:47:03 > 0:47:07Boo! As we all know, reading books is rubbish.

0:47:07 > 0:47:11So, three cheers for Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

0:47:11 > 0:47:15He saved us all the bother by putting every last bit of the books

0:47:15 > 0:47:17into three butt-numbingly long films.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19He really didn't leave anything out.

0:47:19 > 0:47:24Needless to say, the movies, which back-to-back are almost 7 billion hours long,

0:47:24 > 0:47:26do contain the odd mistake.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Here, big-eared idiots Merry and Pippin

0:47:31 > 0:47:34set off an enormous firework indoors

0:47:34 > 0:47:37in the first film, Fellowship Of The Ring.

0:47:38 > 0:47:42But setting off a firework indoors wasn't the biggest gaffe in this scene.

0:47:44 > 0:47:49Notice that the tent is full of bread rolls, candles, barrels and all manner of things. But watch.

0:47:49 > 0:47:54When the firework launches, taking the tent with it, you can see all of the things inside the tent,

0:47:54 > 0:47:59with the exception of Merry and Pippin, have disappeared. See?

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Now that's magic!

0:48:04 > 0:48:08This is from the next film, The Two Towers. And more hobbit horrors.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Look at the hobbit on Gandalf's lap.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13He's a fully-grown adult who happens to be short.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15I believe they're called midgets.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19But keep your eyes peeled.

0:48:19 > 0:48:23Look, suddenly he's not a midget, it is a child.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Your helmet doesn't fool me, short stuff.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29For Frodo.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32Same in this one. The hobbits charge at the enemy.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35It's always the little ones, isn't it? Watch them run.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37They're children, clear as day.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45Looks like they've spotted an ice-cream van.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Children are rubbish in battle, this could get messy.

0:48:53 > 0:48:59The Mummy films, starring Brendan Fraser, are about the lost civilisation of ancient Egypt.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02Although they existed around 3,000 years BC, the Egyptians

0:49:02 > 0:49:08invented astronomy, were the fathers of modern medicine and were able to design and build the pyramids.

0:49:08 > 0:49:13Fast-forward 5,000 years, and we can't even make a two-hour movie that isn't jam-packed with cock-ups.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19Here's Brendan in the third instalment having a scrap

0:49:19 > 0:49:21with people made out of pottery.

0:49:21 > 0:49:25Weird. But not as weird as his magic gun.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29Watch how it changes from a machine gun...to a pistol.

0:49:29 > 0:49:31There!

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Here is dreamboat Brendan again in The Mummy Returns.

0:49:35 > 0:49:39And bear in mind that he's 6'4".

0:49:39 > 0:49:42Wait until he comes face to face with this child.

0:49:48 > 0:49:49Ah! Terrifying.

0:49:49 > 0:49:55- That kid has to be six foot. I mean, he has to be.- Alex?

0:49:55 > 0:49:58What were you thinking? The Mummy had come back to life?

0:49:58 > 0:50:00But when he stands up again, he's titchy.

0:50:00 > 0:50:05And there's nothing he could have been standing on. What a boo-boo.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10The Mummy returns again, and proof that film stars use stuntmen

0:50:10 > 0:50:13and women for absolutely anything.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15They're about to get slightly wet. Oh, dear!

0:50:15 > 0:50:19And apparently that requires trained experts.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26Even though they look nothing like Brendan or Rachel.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Big babies!

0:50:31 > 0:50:34Here is a tip for anyone who wants to get rid of soap suds.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37John Hannah will demonstrate.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Here he is, covered in suds. Thanks, John.

0:50:40 > 0:50:45All you do is find a nearby window or pane of glass and hurl yourself through it, like so.

0:50:47 > 0:50:48Cheers, John.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52And bingo! No suds.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54That really is simple.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56Thanks again, John.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01Another clanger from The Mummy Returns.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03Here is the delectable Evie,

0:51:03 > 0:51:06and it seems I'm not the only one who enjoys peeping at her.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08There's someone else doing that in this scene.

0:51:08 > 0:51:13Eagle-eyed viewers, that is, people with good eyesight or actual eagles,

0:51:13 > 0:51:15might have spotted this. Did you see him?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17Rewind.

0:51:21 > 0:51:24Hoop-la! Hands off, pervert, she's mine!

0:51:27 > 0:51:29This is a clip from the first film, The Mummy.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32As well as almost breaking her neck here - easy girl! -

0:51:32 > 0:51:36Evie drops the book on the floor.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37Whoops! Butterfingers!

0:51:37 > 0:51:40But where has it gone? Probably rubbish, anyway.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45Hollywood likes to think of itself as the dream factory,

0:51:45 > 0:51:47a place where they can make anything possible,

0:51:47 > 0:51:51a maverick home of rule breakers and fantasy makers

0:51:51 > 0:51:54who create pieces of work that will transport you away from reality.

0:51:54 > 0:51:59Tosh! Really, it's just a cover for their woeful misunderstanding of basic science!

0:51:59 > 0:52:03They're not coming up with imaginative, fantastical stories because they dare to dream.

0:52:03 > 0:52:08They're doing it, because they're so cack-handedly thick, they don't know any better.

0:52:08 > 0:52:12Allow us to demonstrate. Allow us. Allow this. Allow it.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Tango and Cash, Dempsey and Makepeace,

0:52:17 > 0:52:20Dalziel and Pascoe, Cagney and Lacey,

0:52:20 > 0:52:22Turner and Hooch and Starsky and Hutch.

0:52:22 > 0:52:25Yes, we love detective shows with two surnames in the title.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30But you don't have to work in CID to have spotted the error in this movie.

0:52:32 > 0:52:36See, when Starsky trips on the beach and his headphones fall off,

0:52:36 > 0:52:38the batteries pop out onto the sand.

0:52:38 > 0:52:39There.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44But when he puts them back on, the music's still playing.

0:52:44 > 0:52:47Stiller, you're a disgrace.

0:52:49 > 0:52:53When you first watch this clip from Harrison Ford in Presumed Innocent,

0:52:53 > 0:52:56you think they've made a mistake.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58That there's no tape in that tape recorder,

0:52:58 > 0:53:01and it's not even switched on. Ah.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04In fact, it's not a mistake.

0:53:04 > 0:53:07His wife just loves the smell of Dictaphones.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09How thoughtful.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Here's one from The Fugitive.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17Tommy Lee Jones makes an absolute hash of pretending to drive.

0:53:17 > 0:53:22Turns the steering wheel one way and the car goes the other.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24Oh, Tommy!

0:53:27 > 0:53:30This is Bruce Almighty, one of the worst sequels of all time.

0:53:30 > 0:53:31Look at the name of the cafe

0:53:31 > 0:53:34behind this tramp. It's clearly called Frankie's.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40But when the tramp morphs into Morgan Freeman,

0:53:40 > 0:53:44as they sometimes do, the shop is called...

0:53:44 > 0:53:51Er, what? N-K-I-N-K-I-E's? What is that?

0:53:54 > 0:53:59Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. Tim Burton loves a bit of fantasy.

0:53:59 > 0:54:03Except what he calls fantasy, others call lies.

0:54:03 > 0:54:07Watch here. They should get thrown backwards, not forwards.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Yeah, let's see that again.

0:54:13 > 0:54:17Get your actors to dress up in funny clothes and make-up by all means,

0:54:17 > 0:54:21Mr Burton, but please don't tinker with the basic laws of inertia.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26A clip from feel-good movie, Coyote Ugly, in which

0:54:26 > 0:54:30light as we know it is monkeyed around with.

0:54:30 > 0:54:35Of course, you and I think of light as just ungovernable photons of electromagnetic radiation.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38The makers of this film think they know better.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44See what happens when this light's turned out.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48Room gets slightly darker. But when this tiny candle is extinguished,

0:54:48 > 0:54:50the room is plunged into darkness.

0:54:53 > 0:54:57Let's see that again. Candle defeats light bulb

0:54:57 > 0:54:59and movies defeat logic, again.

0:55:01 > 0:55:05And finally, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe,

0:55:05 > 0:55:09or TLTWATW as I like to call it.

0:55:09 > 0:55:13Here's Mr Tumnus, famous for having hooves where his feet should be.

0:55:13 > 0:55:17But look, those hooves are leaving great big man-shaped footprints in the snow.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Just look at 'em.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26Tumnus' footprints are even more dodgy than him

0:55:26 > 0:55:29inviting a defenceless young girl into his home for dinner.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31Honestly, Mr Tumnus.
