0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33This show blows a hole in the carefully constructed veneer of Hollywood perfection.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Our team of continuity experts - or geeks - have locked themselves away in the archives
0:00:37 > 0:00:40to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.
0:00:40 > 0:00:47So here are those mistakes - the ones that have made all that hard work very nearly worthwhile.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51That's what they don't tell you in the church.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54This is The Departed with Jack Nicholson.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Ever seen a man eat a cigarette in less than a tenth of a second?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01What I'm saying, is this. When you're facing...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Well, you have now.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08This is Leo DiCaprio in the same film.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Ever seen a man inhale, then start blowing smoke rings
0:01:11 > 0:01:13in less than a tenth of a second?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17You have now.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And this is Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Ever seen a woman swap which hand she's smoking with?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Yeah, you probably have, actually.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32This is good, though. It keeps swapping hands.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Did you just order a 5 shake?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36She'll burn herself if she's not careful.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38That's a shake. Milk and ice cream.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43This is Nacho Libre.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Watch what the boys at home are wearing.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Coloured T-shirts and shirts.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54But a split second later, they're all in vests.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Poor little fellas.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Gladiator now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03An epic about a man who wins the hearts and minds of a fickle public
0:02:03 > 0:02:07by bravely fighting humans and wild animals with his top off.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Do that in a Hollywood film and you are a hero.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Try doing it in a pub car park after closing time, and see who's on your side then.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Those galling double standards aside, this film is Mistakus Maximus.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Errors everywhere, as we shall now demonstrate.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's the morning after the big battle, when the film-makers
0:02:28 > 0:02:31have gone to great lengths to ensure the scene looks realistic.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Oh, there's a man in jeans trying to creep unnoticed out of shot.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41That's definitely worth another look.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Thanks for stinking the scene out, mate.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Here's Maximus taking the unusual step
0:02:49 > 0:02:52of demanding a review in the middle of the film.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Are you not entertained?- 'Yes, Maximus.'- Are you not entertained?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58We're entertained.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Is this not why you are here?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Are you not entertained?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Or we were, before this bloke in jeans wandered into the shot.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Are you not entertained? - That sort of ruined it for me.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I don't care how seriously it takes itself,
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'm pointing this mistake out.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's supposed to be 2,000 years ago,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26so why has this chariot got a gas canister strapped on the back?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's what I call a Mistakus Maximus.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35As well as inventing viaducts, roads and a modern legal system,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38the Romans apparently invented rubber-soled boots.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40If not, why is this soldier wearing them?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Hm? Ah? Why? Hm? Yeah?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Those of you who spent the entire film worrying that
0:03:48 > 0:03:52these spiked helmets will have someone's eye out, fear not.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56As this clip shows, the spike's just made of floppy rubber.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58A bit like a Teletubby, I suppose.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's not easy being a movie extra.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06You get paid, you get fed, you get to meet world famous...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh, hang on! It is easy. It's incredibly easy!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Yet our supporting artist friends,
0:04:10 > 0:04:15who might as well wear a badge saying, "I wanted to be an actor, but got told that wouldn't happen,"
0:04:15 > 0:04:18still seem expert in ruining things for everyone else.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Watch these pillocks!
0:04:24 > 0:04:25This one is superb.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's from the gangster movie Once Upon A Time In America.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32As a gunman wreaks havoc, watch how rubbish this woman's fall is.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Here we go, on the pavement, on the left.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37HORN BEEPS
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Actually, let's watch that again.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45For most people, it's the bullets that cause them to hit the deck,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48but our old lady couldn't care less about a bit of lead.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52No, what she fears more than anything else is...the car horn.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53HORN BEEPS
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Role Models now, and as these two leave the lift,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05watch the extra in the background.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07He calls the lift, but did you spot the gaffe?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Yep, there's no button. He's just pretending.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16The extra was later destroyed.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20This is a belter from Jaws.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Everyone's terrified, there's a shark in the water, people's lives are at risk.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Except...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Look at this guy. He's having a lovely time.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39There's nothing he likes more than seeing a holidaymaker killed by a shark
0:05:39 > 0:05:42and then wading into lovely, bloody waters.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49A character's costume is as essential to making an audience believe as the acting.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Superman's cape and tights,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Harry Potter's school uniform, Chewbacca's...belt.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57And as for those Sex And The City girls,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00each one of them has more costume changes than Kim Cattrall's
0:06:00 > 0:06:04character, Samantha, has had lovers, and that's a disgusting total.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The point is, for any self-respecting director,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09wardrobe malfunctions are deeply embarrassing,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12which makes it all the sweeter that we have spotted these bad boys.
0:06:14 > 0:06:1645-years-old, no living family...
0:06:16 > 0:06:20This is a scene from Quantum Of Solace and M, played by Judi Dench,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21must have asked Q
0:06:21 > 0:06:23to knock up some high-tech shoes
0:06:23 > 0:06:26because she's wearing flat shoes at the top of the stairs,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30but at the bottom, they appear to have morphed into heels.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Have another look. Flat there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- ..through every bill in his wallet and house.- How much did he have?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Less than £100.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Heels there. Astounding.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47This is Slumdog Millionaire,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49and these guys really will be millionaires
0:06:49 > 0:06:52if they can harness the incredible powers of their magic jewellery.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57See Latika is wearing a nose ring here
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and then, piff paff puff...
0:07:01 > 0:07:02..it's gone.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Now it's back again.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Oh, get your act together, love!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Weird fantasy movie Stardust now,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18in which Michelle Pfeiffer has really let herself go.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Look at her teeth.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25They've only been darkened at the front.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27At the back they're white. In fact, I'd go further.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31They're some of the most elegant molars I've seen in the last decade.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Bratz!- Yeah!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36This is Bratz,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and as these girls risk serious injury
0:07:38 > 0:07:41by launching into dance rehearsals without a warm-up,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43they're wearing vest-tops.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46When it comes to the wide shot, they're wearing T-shirts.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Vest-tops.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50T-shirts.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Vest-tops. T-shirts.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, give it a rest, girls.
