0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31This show blows a hole in the carefully constructed
0:00:31 > 0:00:33veneer of Hollywood perfection.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Our team of continuity experts, or geeks, have locked themselves away
0:00:37 > 0:00:40in the archives to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44So here are those mistakes, the ones that have made all that hard work
0:00:44 > 0:00:47very nearly worthwhile.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55Transporter 3. That's right, they made three of them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Here goes Jason Statham, pelting after an ambulance.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Ah! I think we're going to need an ambulance.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08But what's this?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Either Jason has forgotten to remove one of his flesh-coloured earplugs,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14or that is a flesh-coloured piece of...flesh
0:01:14 > 0:01:17from one of the people in that ambulance.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Oh, please, God, let it be the first.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24This is Mamma Mia.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And Mamma Mia, this is a cowardly stuntman.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33You can see the cable holding him to the building, there.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Honestly, mate. Does your mother know?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Now Pirates Of The Caribbean - Curse Of The Black Pearl.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45That well-known Western.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51At least, that's what this guy thinks it is.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53He's wearing a white shirt and a Stetson.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Same film now. And...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Ooh, steady, Keira.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But what's this? It's a cameraman's watch.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And, embarrassingly for him, it's not even digital.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Here's Troy, a film that was panned by the critics.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Although, while they were concerned with the acting and the script,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20my beef is with the treads on this man's sandals.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Yes, not the kind of modern design you'd expect in ancient Greece.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26That's why I only gave the film two stars.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31A clip from feel-good movie, Coyote Ugly, in which
0:02:31 > 0:02:35light as we know it is monkeyed around with.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Of course, you and I think of light as just ungovernable photons of electromagnetic radiation.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43The makers of this film think they know better.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48See what happens when this light's turned out.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Room gets slightly darker. But when this tiny candle is extinguished,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56the room is plunged into darkness.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Let's see that again. Candle defeats light bulb
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and movies defeat logic, again.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10High School Musical now.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13As well as being strewn with errors, these films are also full
0:03:13 > 0:03:17of those annoying performers who dress up in Lycra, and frolic around as if to say,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19"Oh, look at me, look how good I am at dancing!
0:03:19 > 0:03:23"Look at me dancing, I'm cool!"
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It was different when I did it for Comic Relief. That was for charity.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Which makes it different, OK?
0:03:29 > 0:03:35Anyway, cast your peepers across these schoolboy and schoolgirl errors.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38You watch High School Musical
0:03:38 > 0:03:42dozens and dozens of times in your bedroom, and think,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46"How come all those girls are so mouth-wateringly slender?"
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Well, here's how. They're not eating their dinners.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52The lovely Gabriella gazes listlessly at her grub.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Troy, hey!
0:03:57 > 0:04:02And switches her attentions to Troy, and look - it's gone!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Here's Troy again. And he's realised that he's late
0:04:08 > 0:04:11for a much-needed music lesson with Gabriella.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Troy, of course, is a schoolboy. And he's about to make an error.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's quite literally a massive cock-up.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21He's doing a scene where he has to check the time,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24so what's the one prop you don't want to forget?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Your watch.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yeah, go on. Run off.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34PIANO PLAYS
0:04:34 > 0:04:37This performance suggests that the music lesson
0:04:37 > 0:04:39was a pathetic waste of everyone's time.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45Gabriella's bottled it beyond belief, missing her cue and then just standing there looking stupid.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- I can't do it, Troy. Not with all these people staring at me.- Hey.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Quick pep-talk from Troy who puts her at her ease by showing her his ridiculous haircut.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And she's ready to go again.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00..like kindergarten.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Here's the intro from Charlie Chaplin on piano.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13# We're soaring... #
0:05:13 > 0:05:17But now it turns out that it wasn't even her cue, it was Troy's.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20HE was the one who was supposed to start.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, amateurs.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24# If we're trying... #
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Would you trust Gabriella with your life?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Not!- Me neither.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32But here she is in Baywatch mode.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Watch carefully because when she's called into action, a stunt double
0:05:39 > 0:05:44with a different build, age and ethnicity, is used for her dive.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Why that even needs a stunt double, I do not know.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Check her out, she's nothing like Gabriella.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I got you, I got you, it's OK.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Actually, no, Gabriella, it's NOT OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Good old Kelsi, she's so kooky.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07She wears glasses and everything.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And she manages to DJ and be on the dance floor at the same time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So there she is on the decks,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and yet now she's throwing shapes on the dance floor
0:06:19 > 0:06:22that suggests she's been getting stuck into the White Lightning.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Teenagers, eh?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Yo, yo, yo, it's lunchtime.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's lunchtime at East High
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and everyone's heading to the canteen to stuff their faces.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42Everyone that is, except for Chad, he's clutching his basketball ready to "shoot some hoops".
0:06:43 > 0:06:47But rewind again and there's no sign of him on the wide shot.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Explain that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Batman now.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yeah, we can't get enough of the Caped Crusader.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58There have now been six Batman movies and every one of them has been littered with mistakes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02The star of the last two was Christian Bale, and he just loves movie mistakes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Whereas most of us just titter or raise a smile, he expresses
0:07:05 > 0:07:09his mirth by ranting at a lighting technician for nine long minutes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Thank goodness he didn't spot these errors, or some poor crew member
0:07:12 > 0:07:16would have been picking his face off the floor with broken fingers.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- I'm just ahead of the curve. - This is The Dark Knight.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25The Joker, who clearly takes make-up tips from Jodie Marsh,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28has got Batman in a right old tizz.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33As Batman slams The Joker against the wall,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37you can make out the reflection of the cameraman. There, easy, Chris.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Here's the character Two-Face in the same film.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46A man who seems to have been a tad over enthusiastic
0:07:46 > 0:07:48when exfoliating the left side of his face.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Still, at least he shifted them blackheads.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Keep your peepers on the clip thing on Two-Face's finger.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00It's on in this shot, then gone in the next. And it keeps happening.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04A continuity error or some kind of black magic? Let's toss for it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08It's a continuity error.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15This is a scene from the first Batman movie.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19A henchman defaces a priceless Rembrandt
0:08:19 > 0:08:21and who can blame him?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25But a second later, the handprints have somehow...gone.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29He should've used a good quality emulsion.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40This is Batman Returns in which Batman, er, returns.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46See if you can spot this next mistake all on your own. I won't give you any clues.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I won't even mention that Pfeiffer's not screaming, her gob's just wide open.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Did you spot the mistake?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02In this scene, Michelle Pfeiffer is in a right old mard.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Better not tell her that her scissors go from blue here,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10to pink here.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Let's see that again.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Blue, blue, blue. Pink! Pink!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I shan't mention it, she probably just needs some chocolate and a nice sit down.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31In this scene, a penguin, sorry, The Penguin,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33has taken control of the Batmobile.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Not to worry, Wayne Enterprises didn't get where it is today with poor craftsmanship.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46So it's disappointing to see the dashboard of the Batmobile wobble like it's made of rubber.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51It's almost as if it's just a fake car made for the purposes of a movie.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I love the way billionaire Bruce Wayne makes
0:09:56 > 0:09:59a decrepit pensioner run around after him. But good old Alfred
0:09:59 > 0:10:02is always so accommodating, even when he's unconscious.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06He moves the tray out of the way, so The Riddler can open the door.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Let's see that again and look carefully at Alfred's hand.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Will that be all, sir? Only my brain is haemorrhaging.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23This one from Batman Forever is cool, too.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Watch how the diamond pulled out of the case by The Riddler
0:10:26 > 0:10:29shrinks in the blink of an eye. See?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37He pulls out a bloomin' biggun' and then when he examines it,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41it's pea-sized. Either that or his hands went massive.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Batman And Robin now, and if there's one thing about Uma Thurman,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53it's that she can take her gloves off quicker than anyone in the business.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59- Gotham Observatory...- See? No gloves.- ..and step on it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05This next section brings us more problems with the space-time continuum.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10It's packed full of anachronistic things that didn't exist at the time the films are supposed to be set.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Take the film The Quick And The Dead, starring Sharon Stone, for example.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The movie is set in 1840,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19even though that's three years before Sharon was even born.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And there's more where that came from.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27In The Queen, Blair uses a Nokia 6210.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29This is silly, because that model wasn't sold
0:11:29 > 0:11:32until at least two years after the film was set.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Excellent performance by Michael Sheen, of course.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Although I am wary of his nose. It's very nostrilly.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44This Gangs Of New York clip is a personal favourite.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Somebody's popped the butcher!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49As the fight kicks off, you can see a couple of bananas on the floor.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56And yet, bananas were not traded in pre-Civil War USA at all.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00But, heck, you don't need me to tell you that basic fruit fact.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Rousseau says, "If we assume man has been corrupted
0:12:05 > 0:12:07"by an artificial civilisation..."
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Period flick Marie Antoinette here, and as these ladies chill out
0:12:10 > 0:12:15in some sort of meadow, keep your eyes on the skies.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Ah. The vapour, or contrail, of an aeroplane.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24That's right, one of them jet planes they used to have in the late 18th century.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30In American Gangster, set in the 1970s, remember,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32we can see a poster in the background
0:12:32 > 0:12:35with a blooming great web address on it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Yeah, you might as well hang up, Denzel. It's ruined now.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45In this clip from Almost Famous,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49it's 1969 and William Miller is looking through some classic vinyl.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53And while I'm sure none of us like the way that he's stroking them,
0:12:53 > 0:12:54that's not my beef. This is.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Joni Mitchell's Blue.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Not released for another two years.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03And I hate to say that, because I know he's only a kid,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05but, you know, there's no mercy in this dojo.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16And finally, The Last King Of Scotland, a film about Idi Amin.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Many of us think of Africa as being behind the times, but we're wrong.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25This scene is set in Uganda in the '70s,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28yet they already had flat-screen TVs.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Amazing. Not least because at this point in time,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33us lot hadn't even come up with Betamax.
