0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, you. And welcome to Great Movie Mistakes,

0:00:28 > 0:00:33the show that uncovers the blunders that the world's top directors hoped you would never see.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Over the next 60 minutes, we're going to be bringing you

0:00:36 > 0:00:39the cinematic howlers from some of the best movies ever made,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42plus, a few from The Fast And The Furious(!)

0:00:43 > 0:00:46So, all you highly-paid directors, cover your eyes.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48And the rest of you, don't!

0:00:50 > 0:00:54On tonight's show, mistakes from...

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hollywood movie star - 20 million.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Special effects - 15 million.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Marketing and promotion - 9 million.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Finding out that you've spent your entire budget on all that

0:01:15 > 0:01:18and haven't got any money left over for props - priceless.

0:01:18 > 0:01:25But as this set of clips show, the Blue Peter school of prop-making is alive and well in Tinsel Town.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Gangs of New York.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34Life wasn't the same in the 1860s. Cars hadn't been invented,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37people spoke differently and rocks were made of sponge.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Don't believe me?

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Then watch as the rocks bounce off these cheery bobbies.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Boing! Boing! Boing! Doesn't look too painful to me.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Here's The Matrix Reloaded, and a scene that looks like

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Hull town centre at kicking-out time.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57But look at Neo's bendy pole.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Neo, if you're going to single-handedly take on

0:02:00 > 0:02:03these bad guys, I'd recommend something with a bit less give.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Here's an error from 2007 smash, I Am Legend.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Its main error, other than the fact that

0:02:12 > 0:02:16they actually bothered to make it, is coming up right here.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Call this a taxi? You might.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I don't. The underside is quite clearly a flat, painted surface.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29The underside of taxis don't look like that,

0:02:29 > 0:02:34as anyone who has been wedged underneath one while waiting for an ambulance will know full well.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Now comic book caper, Spider-Man,

0:02:42 > 0:02:47in which these two Lycra-clad men have a fight to decide who's the campest guy in town.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Spidey shoves Goblin against a solid brick wall and, look, it wobbles.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01It's not the Goblin you should be punching, it's your set designer.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Ghost Town now, and Ricky Gervais' first big Hollywood film.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09He plays Bertram Pincus,

0:03:09 > 0:03:13a man who has the annoying ability to see ghosts.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16But what annoys me is the puerile errors like this.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20The medicine bottle here says one tablet a day, but what's this?

0:03:20 > 0:03:24There's quite clearly liquid in the bottle. The fools!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30For those of you who've never shot a dog with a gun,

0:03:30 > 0:03:33take it from someone who knows.

0:03:33 > 0:03:40This prop of a dead dog from Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men isn't the most realistic.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I've made better ones from an old pillowcase, crayons and gravel.

0:03:48 > 0:03:54In the film Spider-Man, Peter Parker gains his powers because he's bitten by a spider,

0:03:54 > 0:03:59which apparently is a realistic way of conferring abilities. A similar thing happened to me.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04I was also recently bitten by a spider, but all it gave me were the powers of a 37-year-old man.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09And not a very good one. As well as the onset of nasal hair and a faint midlife crisis,

0:04:09 > 0:04:13it's given me the powers to pick out continuity errors in films.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Like so.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23In this scene, Peter Parker shoots a web and smashes his lamp up

0:04:23 > 0:04:25like some arachnid vandal.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27< Peter?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31- His busybody aunt comes to check. on him.- What's going on in there?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35And embarrassed by the state of his teenage bedroom, he refuses to let her in.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- You're acting so strangely, Peter. - OK, thanks.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44But when she leaves, the lamp is back where it started.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47That mars an otherwise perfectly believable film.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51If you're deeply unpopular at school,

0:04:51 > 0:04:55like Peter Parker, something you should probably avoid doing

0:04:55 > 0:04:57is throwing food all over the school bully.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Whoops!

0:05:02 > 0:05:06But that school dinner clearly splatters over Flash's left shoulder.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Yet when we see him again, it's on his right shoulder.- Parker?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Amazing.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21Harry! >

0:05:21 > 0:05:26We're about to see an extra that loves Peter Parker so much,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29it's disturbing. Look how much she's hanging around.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32She walks past there...

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Harry says you're a science whizz. I'm something of a scientist myself.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I read all your research on nanotechnology.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40..and there...

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Yes, I wrote a paper on it. - Impressive.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48..and there...and there.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Thank God she's gone. I was beginning to worry for Peter's safety.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00No, there she is! Deeply sinister extra.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03She belongs in a secure ward for stalking behaviour.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Here's Peter Parker and MJ,

0:06:08 > 0:06:11the two thinnest-lipped individuals on the planet.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Look at their mouths - like two pairs of fleshy razor blades.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Thankfully, they don't attempt to kiss. It would be a bloodbath.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22But here's an error nearly as horrendous.

0:06:24 > 0:06:30The same car goes past with the same driver on two occasions. Once there.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35And, wait for it... Once more.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Coincidence? Or are the skinny-lipped stars

0:06:38 > 0:06:42chatting in the middle of a tiny roundabout? You decide.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51Here's Peter Parker confronting Uncle Ben's killer in a warehouse.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55If by confronting you mean kicking seven bells out of.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00After he's thrown back, he drops the gun and grabs a knife.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07See, no gun. But when Peter kicks him up against the wall, he's holding it again.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10A mistake, or a visual metaphor for the hopelessness of ending gun crime?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Food for thought, certainly.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Here's Spidey and MJ swinging through New York

0:07:20 > 0:07:22like some sort of urban Tarzan and Jane.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26No wonder MJ loves him. But hang on...

0:07:29 > 0:07:31..that's clearly a lifeless mannequin.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35Look, OK, maybe mannequins dressed in Lycra are her thing. Kinky.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42We all know that newspapers never make mistakes.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44So how do we explain this?

0:07:44 > 0:07:48In the left column, there's a quote from police spokesman John Young,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49"We've heard of Good Samaritans,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52"but in 20 years, I've never seen anything like this."

0:07:52 > 0:07:55And then, on the right, he says it again.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57"We've heard of Good Samaritans,

0:07:57 > 0:07:59"but in 20 years, I've never seen anything like this."

0:07:59 > 0:08:02I don't know what to say about that, I really don't.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Although I have a fair idea of what John Young would say.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Here's a tip. Never play cards

0:08:11 > 0:08:14with James Jameson, the editor of the Daily Bugle.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Check out his sleight of hand.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Watch the third picture. Got it?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Now see what happens when he puts it down.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28It's a different picture. Who's the real superhero in this film?

0:08:31 > 0:08:35As we enjoy Spidey having a tear up with these bad guys -

0:08:35 > 0:08:37ooh, take that!

0:08:37 > 0:08:41And that! - keep your eyes on the windows behind MJ,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44which get smashed as these baddies go through them.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47But a few seconds later, they've repaired themselves.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Let's look again.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Smashed here.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Fixed here.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's a miracle.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05If you think they were bad, check out this next set of goof ups

0:09:05 > 0:09:08from the second and third Spider-man films.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I was going to make some joke about there being more information

0:09:11 > 0:09:14about these clips on "the Web", but that would be rubbish!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Here's Peter being rescued by an infant.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23But what's this under her jim-jams?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Looks like kneepads to me - the only sure fire way to stop anyone

0:09:27 > 0:09:30kneecapping you as you sleep. Clever girl.

0:09:33 > 0:09:39# They say that falling in love is wonderful... #

0:09:39 > 0:09:44In this one from Spidey 3, I defy you not to be annoyed by the way Peter Parker sings along.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50That aside, notice how you can hear applause, but you can't see anyone clapping.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51- APPLAUSE - That's my girlfriend.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53How does that work?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Hollywood film makers are often high school drop outs. And it shows.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04The names of the Batman sequels - Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin -

0:10:04 > 0:10:09weren't chosen for sounding good, but because the director didn't know how to count to four.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Similarly, Tarantino's title, Inglourious Basterds,

0:10:12 > 0:10:17was a genuine spelling mistake that Quentin now has to pretend was clever and intentional.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22These people are imbeciles, or imbreciles, as Tarantino would probably say.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Just check out these schoolboy errors.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. First scene and there's a mistake.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Look how they've spelt lose.

0:10:33 > 0:10:39What makes this especially galling is that the same word appears in the title of the film. Divs.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46More problems with spelling now in Blades Of Glory.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48The guy doing the talking is the commissioner.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Yet his name badge has commissioner spelt with only one S.

0:10:52 > 0:10:58Yet another movie brought to its knees by the power of words.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09The boffins behind Confessions Of A Shopaholic

0:11:09 > 0:11:13are so clever, they've given us a number we didn't know existed.

0:11:13 > 0:11:19How are you going to pay off 16,000,1262 dollars and 70 cents?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Er... 16,000,1200?

0:11:23 > 0:11:28I like this clip so much, I've watched it 800,6000 times.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33There again, we Brits are no better.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Look at the side of this bus - the word Cheltenham is missing an N.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41And when people miss out Ns, it makes me very, very angry.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Thanks.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51This clip is of John Nash winning a Nobel prize

0:11:51 > 0:11:53in the film A Beautiful Mind.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57But look, they can't even spell Nobel properly.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, boy.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Not good, ladies and gentlemen. Not good.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11And check this spelling mistake from the film Cadillac Records.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14At number four is Love Is A Many Splendored Thing.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18But they've missed out the L from the word "splendored".

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Proof, as if it were needed, that things weren't better in the old days.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Although, teenage pregnancy rates were lower.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30As well as being highly entertaining,

0:12:30 > 0:12:32this programme aims to be educational.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36The Terminator now, and look as he scans this doorman.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40The Terminator must have been programmed by an imbecile,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42because look how he spells the word "briefs".

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I before E, big guy.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Remember this simple rule and you won't go far wrong.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52All right, the singing is nothing.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55A way to keep my nerves down. It means nothing to me.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58But it's not I before E if they follow a C.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Then it's the other way round.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Look how "receiving" is spelt in this clip from High School Musical.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08I can't help thinking that if American school kids spent less time singing

0:13:08 > 0:13:12and more time on basic literacy, there might be a lot less gun crime.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19The Die Hard films give hope to men everywhere.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21The fourth instalment in the all-action franchise

0:13:21 > 0:13:23came out in 2007,

0:13:23 > 0:13:27when Bruce Willis was a geriatric 52 years of age.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Just goes to show, age is just a number.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Sadly, that age was a number Demi Moore didn't like,

0:13:34 > 0:13:37which is why she's now holed up with a guy 21 years his junior.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40And if that wasn't enough, here are some mistakes

0:13:40 > 0:13:43that might make her see Bruce's films in a new light, too.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Sorry, Bruce.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Oh, no.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Here's John McClane sporting a nice white vest,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56and very nice he looks, too.

0:14:01 > 0:14:06But just a few moments later, as he exits the air vent, it's green.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Every square millimetre of it.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Even the bits that can't possibly have touched the sides.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16But as all fashionistas agree, green's the new white. Yeah(!)

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Another error here.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Bruce jumps off the roof down on to a lower ledge.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28He's got no shoes on, so that must hurt.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34But maybe not. They've kindly given him false feet to soften the blow

0:14:34 > 0:14:37on his delicate little footy pegs.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38Big baby.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45You're about annoying to see reporter Thornburg

0:14:45 > 0:14:48on a sky phone to WZDC News,

0:14:48 > 0:14:51claiming to be putting his life and talent on the line

0:14:51 > 0:14:55for humanity and country. Except he's not, is he?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57The phone is upside down and you can see the antenna

0:14:57 > 0:15:00poking through his fingers. The fraud.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Double your money in this clip.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, dear.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10First, McClane gets snared up in traffic,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12but now he's cruising along.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Second, he spins the wheel to his left,

0:15:15 > 0:15:18but hello, sailor the car swings around to the right.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20You've been caught bang to rights, McClane.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Some people are suckers for punishment.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28In the case of our next clips, these people were the film lovers

0:15:28 > 0:15:34who paid good money to watch 52 year-old Bruce Willis in yet another Die Hard film.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Here's McClane in Live Free or Die Hard, ripping the airbag from a car,

0:15:42 > 0:15:44barely caring that it would invalidate the insurance.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Throws it on the road.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Moments later, and no sign of the airbag.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Maybe it's been stolen by mice and turned into a marquee.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00John McClane is an all-American guy

0:16:00 > 0:16:03who likes nothing better than fighting women.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06But he meets his match with assassin Mai Linh.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Like many women, she likes to change her appearance.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13First her hair is all messy and she's bleeding as she roundhouses him through the window.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Nice move.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19But now the blood has gone and it's a nice, neat ponytail.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21I prefer that look.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Now the hair is messy again and the blood's back.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Oh, make up your mind, you beautiful assassin.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Suspension of disbelief...

0:16:36 > 0:16:39..is essential in the world of storytelling.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Without it, the whole facade comes crashing down.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47However, the mistakes you're about to see trounce our disbelief as soundly as Tinky Winky from

0:16:47 > 0:16:53the Teletubbies taking the head of his suit off and announcing, "I'm just an actor in a felt suit.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55"We all are, and we hate children."

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Watch these.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Charlie's Angels.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04This scene features a hair-sniffing pervert

0:17:04 > 0:17:07and delicious Angels, Natalie, Dylan and Alex.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09But as they make mincemeat out of the weirdo,

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Drew Barrymore can clearly be heard shouting "Lucy",

0:17:12 > 0:17:15the name of her co-star, Lucy Liu.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Lucy!

0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Lugholes at the ready.- Lucy!

0:17:21 > 0:17:25How many times did I have to watch the film to get that?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Less than 20. Get in!

0:17:31 > 0:17:35It may have been one of the biggest budget films ever when it was made,

0:17:35 > 0:17:38but they didn't have much of a budget for replacement cameras.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42That must be why a crew member put his hands out to stop this fella falling into the lens.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Let's have another look. Here comes the fall.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52And then a pair of hands come out to break the fall.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55The camera was unharmed. The actor broke his neck.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01A right royal balls-up now, because in this clip from The Queen,

0:18:01 > 0:18:04we can see a man's reflection in the window.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Either it's a member of the production team

0:18:06 > 0:18:09or she's been followed and is in mortal danger.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12But don't worry, because if anyone tried anything,

0:18:12 > 0:18:15her corgis would rip their face off and eat it for their tea.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24300, and bear in mind that this film is set around 480 BC.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Now, I want to assure you that it wasn't me who spotted this one.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31If you look hard enough, you can see that this woman has a bra on.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34What a boob - I mean, mistake.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Bruce Almighty now. Supposedly, Bruce and his dog are all alone,

0:18:41 > 0:18:45but after a quick Hitler impression, the dog pees on the floor.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48But look, you can clearly see the dog handler's hand.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51If I was him I'd be keeping my hand well out of the way.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59The Other Boleyn Girl now. Henry is about to make sweet love to Mary

0:18:59 > 0:19:00for the first time,

0:19:00 > 0:19:04but as things get steamy and he whips off his shirt...

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Hang about! What's that wire dangling by his armpit?

0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's a microphone wire, and I spotted it.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14That should mean that I get to make love to her, not him. Surely?

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Pineapple Express now, and as all hell breaks loose in this diner,

0:19:24 > 0:19:27coffee gets splashed onto the camera.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34See, it's smeared the lens. This may be good for movie mistake fans, but not for the cameraman.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37He suffered third degree burns to the face.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Thankfully, he wasn't good-looking to start with.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45The Fast And The Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50and now, Fast And Furious.

0:19:50 > 0:19:57Yes, the Fast And Furious franchise is a triumph of imaginative titling and envelope-pushing creativity.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58No, it's not!

0:19:58 > 0:20:01The first features young people driving cars fast.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04The second features young people driving cars fast,

0:20:04 > 0:20:08while the third features young people driving cars fast.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09In Tokyo.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13The final film features young people driving cars.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Fast. Good to see the movie-makers wasting their creative juices

0:20:16 > 0:20:20on the important things, instead of correcting these simple errors.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24You'll FAST become FURIOUS when you see them...

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- HE CHUCKLES - I shouldn't wonder.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I never learned to drive, but my mates tell me

0:20:32 > 0:20:33that some cars are so cool

0:20:33 > 0:20:36they make your black T-shirt turn into a black vest.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Just watch this.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47Dreamboat Vin Diesel driving fast and furious in a white T-shirt.

0:20:47 > 0:20:53I would. But now it's turned into a brown shirt. Gone off him now.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58And check out this blunder.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00As Brian hangs off the side of the lorry,

0:21:00 > 0:21:05you can see that he's wearing a safety cable. What a chicken.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09But the other guy is also a big girl's blouse, cos he's also wearing a wire.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Guys, you've gone right down in my estimations.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Crashing your car isn't the most pleasant experience,

0:21:20 > 0:21:24but it helps if you're Vin Diesel, because when he crashes and flies through the air,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27his head becomes miraculously encased in a safety helmet.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Watch again.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Yes, his bald bonce has turned into a helmet. Nifty trick, Mr Diesel.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42In this clip from The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift,

0:21:42 > 0:21:45the gap between the cars starts small.

0:21:45 > 0:21:50Then after we're distracted by these loons and lots of pretty young girls in short skirts -

0:21:50 > 0:21:54uh, yeah, aye, aye,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57and legs, lot of them, where was I?

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Oh, yeah, the gap's now huge, isn't it?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Remember your Highway Code, boys.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Spot any problems with this clip from 2 Fast 2 Furious?

0:22:11 > 0:22:12It's the notepad.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's already full.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19If we go closer, you see the cop's pen isn't even touching the paper.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22By the way, a special thanks to our zoom team for that close-up.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24You're a credit to your families.

0:22:26 > 0:22:32Sex And The City was that funny old time in the TV schedules, when men everywhere would mysteriously find

0:22:32 > 0:22:36themselves stood in the kitchen, gazing listlessly into the fridge.

0:22:36 > 0:22:42But for their better halves it was a chance to dip into the lives of four women who were spunky, kooky, sassy

0:22:42 > 0:22:45and other words that don't really mean anything.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49The characters think nothing of spending thousands on clothes and shoes

0:22:49 > 0:22:51to look their glamorous bests.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Shame the makers of the film didn't bother to do the same.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Watch these errors. Tssk.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01You have to eat a little breakfast.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Sex And The City, the movie.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I've loved SJP's long, long face ever since her movie debut

0:23:05 > 0:23:09in the Godfather, when she played that horse's head left in the bed.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12In this scene we've got teapot problems.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14It's Art Deco,

0:23:14 > 0:23:17then the next second it's normal.

0:23:17 > 0:23:23Then we go back to Art Deco, and you've guessed it,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25there's just time for it to go back to normal.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30The irony is that Carrie doesn't even like tea.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Her preference would be for Tizer.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37SHE SCREAMS

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Similar balls up here with the napkin in Charlotte's hand.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43It's not there.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Then it is.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50..She just got engaged. And she has been going out with the man...

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Then it's not.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53APPLAUSE

0:23:53 > 0:23:57And it's back again. Stop applauding her error, you dimwits.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03In this dressing-up scene,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Carrie's kind but ageing friends are out on the lash.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11But when she emerges in her iconic ballet outfit, watch the door behind her.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Is it open or is it closed?

0:24:13 > 0:24:19Because it can't be both, as that would be then clopen, and that's not even a word.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26The 1980s was the decade of big, big hair,

0:24:26 > 0:24:30and it wasn't just the actors of the '80s who had big barnets,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33it was every human living in that entire decade.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Directors, crew, writers, even the key grip.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41At the time we thought big hair was just fashionable.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46Little did we realise that the heat building up in that huge nest of matted hair was baking our brains,

0:24:46 > 0:24:51causing us to litter our films with thick errors like these.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Val Kilmer and tiny Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Not a lot of people know this, but when Cruise gets really happy,

0:25:01 > 0:25:04sunglasses appear on his face. Like so.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11You can be my wing man any time, Maverick.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16The word "commando" means going without your underpants on.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19It's also the name of a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

0:25:19 > 0:25:25Here, as he keys in the secret code for the door, we can see that it's already slightly ajar.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30I'm afraid we've got you bang to rights on that one, Governor Schwarzenegger.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35The first time I saw this I kept thinking

0:25:35 > 0:25:38that the yellow Porsche was getting damaged.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42There was just something inside me that was sure of it.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46What did you with Sully?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I let him go.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52But as you can see, I was wrong.

0:25:57 > 0:26:03In the '80s, it wasn't just the action movie stars littering the films with their mistakes

0:26:03 > 0:26:05like some baby with hiccups made of wrong.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07As these next clips show, everyone was at it.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15Ghost now, and keep your eyes on those filthy clay-covered hands.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22As this scene goes from pot-making to love-making, watch.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24They're suddenly...

0:26:25 > 0:26:27..completely clean.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32As I learned in sex education, cleanliness is next to godliness.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Teen Wolf now, and hands up

0:26:38 > 0:26:42who wants to see an extra caught with their bits out?

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Aw. I love the panic as she covers herself up.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50Don't worry, love, we've all been there.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57This is Back To The Future, and watch the politician's car.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Two speakers and a sign facing forwards.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06There's Marty McFly.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09And now one speaker and a sign that's facing sideways.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13He's just lost my vote.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Smoking isn't big or clever, and neither are movie mistakes.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Stand By Me, and here's a young River Phoenix

0:27:23 > 0:27:24with a fag packet in his sleeve.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Still there.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Still there.

0:27:29 > 0:27:30And wham, they've gone!

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Piss up a rope!

0:27:32 > 0:27:34THEY LAUGH

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Gordie's out. Gordie just bit the bag and stepped out the door!

0:27:40 > 0:27:42And now they're back again.

0:27:42 > 0:27:47As a punishment I suggest the boy's locked in a cupboard until he's smoked the whole packet.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55It's not real anyway, it's just a film. How do I know?

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Well, because you can see

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Vern's radio mic fall down his trouser leg.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Thanks for that, Vern.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Thanks for killing the magic.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14Brokeback Mountain was a controversial film about a couple of gay lovers in the American outback,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18where homosexuality is frowned upon and, according to its inhabitants,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21has never taken place between any men.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24To those who think such love is morally wrong, ask yourself this -

0:28:24 > 0:28:29is it as morally wrong as minor continuity errors hidden in the background of a Hollywood film?

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well, is it?

0:28:31 > 0:28:34No, clearly, neither is morally wrong.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35Can we all just calm down?

0:28:35 > 0:28:37It's just a joke!

0:28:37 > 0:28:38God!

0:28:43 > 0:28:45In this clip, watch how Jake Gyllenhaal

0:28:45 > 0:28:47puts a bit of wood on the block.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51So at that point we know Jake has wood.

0:28:52 > 0:28:58But a few seconds later, as he glances over to his cowboy lover,

0:28:58 > 0:28:59and look,

0:28:59 > 0:29:02Jake no longer has wood.

0:29:02 > 0:29:03Ah.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Missed.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11Look at the young boy in the back of shot wearing a stripy T-shirt.

0:29:11 > 0:29:16He just loves to run and run, so much so that he's back again.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Could we get this kid sedated, please?

0:29:25 > 0:29:27They say never work with children.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30I say, never work with jars.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35I'll clean this up just as soon as I call my sister to come get the girls.

0:29:35 > 0:29:40Unless they have the power to A) self heal and B) self stack.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Like these ones.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Whoa.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53In my day, I was told that children should be seen and not heard.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55See you Sunday.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01But judging from this microphone wire,

0:30:01 > 0:30:03it seems modern children shouldn't just be heard,

0:30:03 > 0:30:06they should be amplified with a state of the art digimic, too.

0:30:10 > 0:30:15With their bright colours, cute characters and Happy Meal style merchandise,

0:30:15 > 0:30:18animated movies are aimed squarely at children.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22You might not care, but I want what's best for our children,

0:30:22 > 0:30:26so I don't want to see Hollywood producers filling their witless little heads

0:30:26 > 0:30:29with nonsensical errors, sloppy mistakes and unforgivably bad habits.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32So if you're like me, you'll be disgusted when you see

0:30:32 > 0:30:35this list of mistakes polluting the minds of our nation's future.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38They're just children, for crying out loud.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44This is Shrek 2. Ignore Ann Widdecombe in the foreground

0:30:44 > 0:30:46and look at the hallway behind her.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Completely empty.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Yet just moments later, she leaves the room, reaches down

0:30:52 > 0:30:54and picks her suitcase up in the hallway.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58That wasn't there before. Unbelievable.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01What is this, some kind of fairy story?

0:31:08 > 0:31:11With fewer than 2,000 pandas surviving in the wild today,

0:31:11 > 0:31:15I can only imagine what convinced DreamWorks to strap one with explosives.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19But keep your eye on the soot and smoke on his fur.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's gone.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28So while it's sad that he's endangered,

0:31:28 > 0:31:29it's great that he's clean.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35More from the world of animation now.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39In fact, we found so many blunders in animated movies that if we'd used them all

0:31:39 > 0:31:43you literally wouldn't believe how much longer this would have been.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46It would have been three minutes longer.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53In this scene from Ratatouille, keep your eye on the wooden spoon.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Here it's sat quite happily in the thick, creamy soup.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04But only seconds later, after this aggressive little man enters the scene,

0:32:07 > 0:32:10it's gone.

0:32:10 > 0:32:16I was going to write a book about movie mistakes featuring cooking utensils, but in the end I didn't.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19The soup!

0:32:19 > 0:32:20Here's Ratatouille again.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Look, Chef Skinner is pelting through the doors...

0:32:26 > 0:32:29Nothing on either side of him, not a single thing.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Now he re-enters the kitchen, and what's this?

0:32:36 > 0:32:39A little step ladder has appeared out of nowhere.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40I smell a rat.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Finding Nemo now and a fight between a dentist and a bird

0:32:47 > 0:32:50with a fish in its mouth, as often happens in Australia.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54But keep your eyes on this crocodile poster.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Nemo's not dead, by the way, so don't worry about that.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Oh, it's shifted a couple of feet away from the window.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14And would you believe it?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17It's back again. There's something fishy going on here.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's not easy being a movie extra.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26You get paid, you get fed, you get to meet world famous...

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Oh, hang on. It is easy. It's incredibly easy.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Yet our supporting artist friends,

0:33:31 > 0:33:36who might as well wear a badge saying, "I wanted to be an actor, but got told that wouldn't happen,"

0:33:36 > 0:33:39still seem experts in ruining things for everyone else.

0:33:39 > 0:33:40Watch these pillocks!

0:33:44 > 0:33:46This one is superb.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49It's from the gangster movie Once Upon a Time in America.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52As a gunman wreaks havoc, watch how rubbish this woman's fall is.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Here we go, on the pavement, on the left.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57HORN BEEPS

0:33:58 > 0:34:00Actually, let's watch that again.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06For most people it's the bullets that caused them to hit the deck,

0:34:06 > 0:34:09but our old lady couldn't care less about a bit of lead.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12No, what she fears more than anything else is...the car horn.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13HORN BEEPS

0:34:19 > 0:34:21You mean besides nothing?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Role Models now, and as these two leave the lift,

0:34:23 > 0:34:25watch the extra in the background.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28He calls the lift, but did you spot the gaffe?

0:34:30 > 0:34:34Yep, there's no button. He's just pretending.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36The extra was later destroyed.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40This is a belter from Jaws.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Everyone's terrified, there's a shark in the water, people's lives are at risk.

0:34:50 > 0:34:51Except...

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Look at this guy. He's having a lovely time.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00There's nothing he likes more than seeing a holidaymaker killed by a shark

0:35:00 > 0:35:03and then wading into lovely, bloody waters.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07For someone so suave and sophisticated,

0:35:07 > 0:35:10the James Bond series is jam-packed with errors.

0:35:10 > 0:35:11With plots as full of holes

0:35:11 > 0:35:14as the KGB agents Bond merrily wastes with machine guns,

0:35:14 > 0:35:18there are plenty of errors for movie-mistake aficionados to enjoy.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19I spotted one of my own.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22If you watch all of the Bond films back-to-back,

0:35:22 > 0:35:23keep your eyes on Bond himself.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27You can see his face changes slightly every five films or so.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30And so does his hair colour and his accent. Watch out for it.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32You can have that one. Yeah.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig,

0:35:37 > 0:35:41a man who doesn't discriminate against our ginger community.

0:35:41 > 0:35:42How do I know?

0:35:42 > 0:35:45Because he's hired one as his stunt double.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Unless he hopes he gets seriously injured.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50OK, now I'm worried.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56As James Bond totals yet another high-spec sports car,

0:35:56 > 0:35:58keep your eyes on the windscreen.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06It's definitely on the car.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Yet, when it finally comes to rest, it's suddenly gone.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13James isn't looking too clever either.

0:36:13 > 0:36:14I'd love to stay and help, but...

0:36:18 > 0:36:21When you're an actor and you've got to do a dangerous stunt

0:36:21 > 0:36:23like falling a few inches onto gravel,

0:36:23 > 0:36:26how do you ensure you don't hurt your knees?

0:36:26 > 0:36:27Who is this?

0:36:31 > 0:36:34The answer, my friends, is BMX knee pads.

0:36:34 > 0:36:39You can clearly see them under Mr White's trousers.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45Mr White may have just been kneecapped, but at least he didn't graze them when he hit the floor.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Now we're going to spool back in time to see some old Bonds.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54For many people, Connery takes the honours as the best 007,

0:36:54 > 0:36:57and while that debate rumbles on, one thing is for certain.

0:36:57 > 0:37:02He is a master at getting himself involved in some right ROYALE cock-ups.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Dr No now.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10This is Bond, James Bond.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13And here's a mistake, a movie mistake.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Check out this nifty bit of fisticuffs.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19Pulls back with the right hand and then pops him with the left.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22Here comes the right.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Bam! Eat my left fist!

0:37:27 > 0:37:32Then along the Windward road until you get to the cement factory.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Here's the nympho spy getting directions to Miss Tarot's house

0:37:35 > 0:37:38for what I believe they call "a booty call".

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Listen, she gives the address as 239 Magenta Drive.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Magenta Drive, 239.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49I'll be waiting for you.

0:37:49 > 0:37:50May I use your phone?

0:37:50 > 0:37:52But later on, after concluding his copulation,

0:37:52 > 0:37:57he calls for a taxi and gives the address as 2171 Magenta Drive.

0:37:58 > 0:38:03James Bond here. Can I have a car sent to 2171 Magenta Drive.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Good, she nods to confirm it.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Maybe her house is actually a caravan

0:38:07 > 0:38:10and she has just been towed a couple of thousand houses down the road.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Thunderball now and James is fighting some baddie or other

0:38:16 > 0:38:20and gets his diving mask ripped off. Ow! Wet eyes!

0:38:20 > 0:38:23So he nicks the mask off this guy.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26Clearly it's black.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30But James pops it on, and oh, look, it's blue again. Brilliant.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39It's a typical Friday night.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Bond has been having a fight with two women

0:38:41 > 0:38:43and has ended up in a swimming pool.

0:38:43 > 0:38:44He's soaking.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50It must be a hot day, because seconds later he's completely dried off.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56So, explain how this shirt is soaking wet again. What is it?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58My guess is sweat. Dirty beggar.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06Watch how very late Bond is for his cue here in Diamonds Are Forever.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09The guy starts up his quad bike and is ready to pull away,

0:39:09 > 0:39:10but Bond is miles away.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13So the guy just helpfully sits there and waits to be kicked off.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19If Bond spent more time learning his cues and less time making love to beautiful women

0:39:19 > 0:39:21maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27I hope my big end will stand up to this.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29A huge error, this. See if you can spot it.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36That's right, it was the casting of George Lazenby as Bond.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43There's a smaller one here too.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Wait for Tracy to speak without moving her mouth.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48James, how do we get out?

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Ooh, that's clever.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57There goes Bond showing off his one-footed skiing skills.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02And there's the safety rope.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Lucky he was skiing at night, or it would have been more obvious.

0:40:08 > 0:40:12One of the best things about Bond films is the gadgets.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Here's 007 showing off Q's latest invention -

0:40:14 > 0:40:18tyres that screech on any surface, including sand.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Have a listen.

0:40:21 > 0:40:22TYRES SCREECH

0:40:24 > 0:40:25And once more.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29TYRES SCREECH

0:40:29 > 0:40:31I don't think so, Mr Bond.

0:40:34 > 0:40:35Roger Moore, now we're talking.

0:40:35 > 0:40:40Here's the best Bond there has ever been or ever will be

0:40:40 > 0:40:42having a scrap in The Man With The Golden Gun.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46They're making a right old mess and look what happens when they knock the mirror.

0:40:51 > 0:40:52Hello, camera crew!

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Hi!

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Life's not fair, is it? - A water pistol?

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Pass me that robe.

0:41:05 > 0:41:10When James Bond walks in to a single woman's apartment and spies on her as she showers on her own,

0:41:10 > 0:41:12nobody bats an eyelid.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Yet when I do it...

0:41:16 > 0:41:19Actually, she's not alone, is she?

0:41:19 > 0:41:20There's a man with a camera there.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21So that's fine.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Actually, that's worse, isn't it?

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Next, we have more continuity errors

0:41:28 > 0:41:30and when we talk about movie mistakes,

0:41:30 > 0:41:33these ones really are as basic as it gets -

0:41:33 > 0:41:36the blunders you're taught about on day one of a film-making course,

0:41:36 > 0:41:39along with "Make sure there's film in the camera"

0:41:39 > 0:41:41and "Never make eye-contact with Christian Bale."

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Actually, they are the sort of errors I first spotted

0:41:44 > 0:41:48when I first started out on my movie-mistake-spotting career.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51I remember back then as a kid they used to make me squeal with happiness,

0:41:51 > 0:41:55whereas now they simply fill me with a rage so powerful and all-consuming

0:41:55 > 0:41:58that I sometimes feel I could kill a guy.

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Minority Report

0:42:02 > 0:42:06and I've got something to report about door furniture in this scene.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09Here the door handle is on the left, clear as day.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11But after a hard stare from Tom...

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Bam! It moved to the right.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Urgh, doors.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24Remember, viable embryos.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27We'll never know when dinosaurs became extinct,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30but we can pinpoint the exact moment this brown bag ceases to exist.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32It just disappears.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38Here's Nedry, greedily clutching it like it's a packet of biscuits.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42But, hang on, in the blink of an eye, it's gone.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Maybe that's what happened to the dinosaurs -

0:42:46 > 0:42:49they were just manhandled by a fat bloke and vanished. Who knows?

0:42:51 > 0:42:55Ramses is the one. He puts the people all on fire!

0:42:55 > 0:42:58Wrestling-based chuckleshow Nacho Libre next.

0:42:58 > 0:43:02Watch Stephen being pulled into the hole by the fat lady,

0:43:02 > 0:43:04see how she knocks down the plant pot,

0:43:04 > 0:43:08but wait, there it is standing up again.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Stephen!

0:43:10 > 0:43:13And, lo and behold, there it is fallen over again.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16This is for marring an otherwise perfect take.

0:43:21 > 0:43:23If you're down with the kids, like me,

0:43:23 > 0:43:24you'll know Zac Efron's the shizzle,

0:43:24 > 0:43:27and here he is in 17 Again.

0:43:29 > 0:43:30See that lectern?

0:43:32 > 0:43:36OK, settle down, everybody, take your seats. Thank you.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38Well, only moments later,

0:43:38 > 0:43:41it's gone as Zac tries to forcefully make love to this guy.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43At least get his consent, Zac.

0:43:48 > 0:43:49Last Chance Harvey now,

0:43:49 > 0:43:52and Emma Thompson's book is about to turn into a scarf.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54- Are you OK?- Yes, I'm fine.

0:43:56 > 0:43:57Then, back into a book.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00A sure sign that these two people will soon make love.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09Bad Boys II now, and as this jeep careers through a shanty town,

0:44:09 > 0:44:11see how the wing mirrors get smashed.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19But now they're miraculously fixed.

0:44:19 > 0:44:23If only the same could be said for the homes of these poor shanty dwellers.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Point Break now,

0:44:28 > 0:44:33one of the finest movies ever made about criminals who can surf.

0:44:33 > 0:44:37First, pervert Keanu cops an eyeful of Tyler as she gets undressed.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42Later, we can see on police records

0:44:42 > 0:44:44that Tyler has blue eyes and black hair.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47Personally, I was too busy trying to see what was under her towel.

0:44:47 > 0:44:51That is your surfing contact?

0:44:51 > 0:44:57Female, blue eyes, black hair, five foot six, 119 lbs.

0:44:59 > 0:45:00Not bad, Utah.

0:45:00 > 0:45:05Tyler Ann Endicott, born 11/27/64.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07But when we next see the screen

0:45:07 > 0:45:10her eyes are on record as being green, and she's a blonde.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11So, that's clear then.

0:45:11 > 0:45:16Keanu's informant has both green and blue eyes and black and blonde hair.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23The Harry Potter books have brought joy to children

0:45:23 > 0:45:25and very easily impressed adults everywhere.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28Now the subject of major motion pictures,

0:45:28 > 0:45:29they are riddled with errors.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Interesting to note that Harry

0:45:31 > 0:45:33can cast spells to lock and unlock doors,

0:45:33 > 0:45:36summon fire and render himself invisible,

0:45:36 > 0:45:38but he can't make Hermione want to get off with him.

0:45:38 > 0:45:42Not so clever now, are you, Potter?

0:45:45 > 0:45:49Fashions, eh? These days they seem to change in the blink of an eye.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51Just ask Ron, who goes from centre parting...

0:45:53 > 0:45:56..to side parting in just under a hundredth of a second.

0:45:57 > 0:45:58Wicked!

0:46:03 > 0:46:07An absolute beauty now from Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10When Snape pulls Malfoy back onto his feet,

0:46:10 > 0:46:13who's this in the far left of screen?

0:46:13 > 0:46:14It's either a film cameraman

0:46:14 > 0:46:18or some random guy walking around a school filming kids.

0:46:21 > 0:46:24The Goblet Of Fire now, and check out this sprinting slaphead.

0:46:24 > 0:46:25He runs past Ron twice.

0:46:31 > 0:46:32This is the first time.

0:46:37 > 0:46:39And, dear, oh, dear, there he goes again.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42The harsh truth is, that if Ron wasn't ginger,

0:46:42 > 0:46:45we probably wouldn't have noticed. Think on.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51In this clip from The Order Of The Phoenix,

0:46:51 > 0:46:54Harry has a nightmare so scary it makes his T-shirt change colour.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01It goes from light blue with stripes...

0:47:05 > 0:47:07..to dark blue with buttons.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11It's also likely that he has weed the bed.

0:47:14 > 0:47:19The premise of The Matrix is so simple that it's hard to see how they ever make a movie mistake.

0:47:19 > 0:47:23Keanu Reeves is contacted by Morpheus, a terrorist wanted by the government,

0:47:23 > 0:47:26who explains that the real world is a ravaged wasteland,

0:47:26 > 0:47:29where most of humanity have been captured by machines

0:47:29 > 0:47:31which live off their body heat and imprison their minds

0:47:31 > 0:47:34with an artificial reality known as The Matrix.

0:47:35 > 0:47:39Keanu must defeat the super-powerful computer programmes. It pretty much writes itself.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Yet they've littered it with mistakes. Weird!

0:47:49 > 0:47:51Mind-blowing,

0:47:51 > 0:47:53spectacular...beyond belief.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57No, I'm not talking about the special effects.

0:47:57 > 0:47:58I'm talking about Neo's gaffe.

0:48:02 > 0:48:04So...he drops both guns by his feet.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10But now we get a 360 degree view of him and they've gone.

0:48:18 > 0:48:19Now they're back.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Ah, too late.

0:48:28 > 0:48:32Same film now and Larry Fishburne's shades go from black...

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Right now we're inside a computer programme?

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Is it really so hard to believe?

0:48:38 > 0:48:43..to mirrored. I like his living room though. Minimalist.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47- How much further?- Here, just here.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Reflection problems again now in Matrix Reloaded.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52I'm sorry, this is a dead end.

0:48:52 > 0:48:56There should be three people reflected in Agent Smith's glasses -

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Morpheus, Neo and whoever that other guy is.

0:48:58 > 0:49:03There isn't. Or his glasses are designed to look at the reflection of an empty corridor.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08Now for some errors that are only for the truly eagle-eyed.

0:49:08 > 0:49:13Sure, some people might say it's nerdy or geeky or sad of the team even to have spotted them.

0:49:13 > 0:49:17Is it sad? Is it sad to strive for perfection in movie-making?

0:49:17 > 0:49:20Is it sad to want to enjoy that one true error-free film?

0:49:20 > 0:49:26Is it sad to rewind and replay every scene of every film you ever watch in the hope of spotting any error

0:49:26 > 0:49:30and then writing it down in your special book just to crow about it on BBC Three?

0:49:31 > 0:49:32Oh, it is?

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Right.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39BELL CHIMES

0:49:40 > 0:49:43Now then. Big Ben would only chime like this on the hour,

0:49:43 > 0:49:49but as all you sighted viewers will appreciate in this clip from sci-fi flick Jumper,

0:49:49 > 0:49:50the clock reads half past,

0:49:50 > 0:49:53which is as far from on the hour as you can get.

0:49:53 > 0:49:56I know all that because I learnt it at school!

0:50:01 > 0:50:04Sorry about him. He doesn't understand what it's like.

0:50:04 > 0:50:08A pre-pubescent Harry Potter here making idle chat with a snake.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10Like you do!

0:50:10 > 0:50:13But, hold on. What was that?

0:50:15 > 0:50:16The snake just winked at him.

0:50:16 > 0:50:22And that, my friends, is impossible because snakes don't have eyelids.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Forrest Gump.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28Listen to the day he says she died.

0:50:28 > 0:50:31'You died on a Saturday morning.'

0:50:31 > 0:50:33Saturday.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35Now look at the gravestone.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37It says March 22nd, 1982...

0:50:37 > 0:50:41which as any diary fans will know was a Monday!

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Jenny's dying is very sad, Forrest,

0:50:43 > 0:50:48but lying about it won't bring her back, and believe me, I've tried.

0:50:51 > 0:50:55Another one for all you diary fans. Blades Of Glory.

0:50:55 > 0:50:56Listen to this date.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58'Until March 14th, 1987...'

0:50:58 > 0:51:03OK. The newspaper says that March 14th, 1987 was a Sunday.

0:51:03 > 0:51:08Yet, as we all know, it was a Saturday.

0:51:08 > 0:51:09I faxed the director about this.

0:51:09 > 0:51:13Worryingly, some two years later, he's yet to respond.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19The Shawshank Redemption now.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22One of the all-time great movies about redemption

0:51:22 > 0:51:23and about Shawshanks, probably.

0:51:28 > 0:51:33But if this is the hole that Andy Dufresne escaped through, how can he have reattached the poster?

0:51:33 > 0:51:38If he was inside the tunnel, it would be impossible to stick the poster to the wall.

0:51:41 > 0:51:46Unless he broke back in, stuck it back up again and jumped over the wall to escape a second time.

0:51:46 > 0:51:49Yes, yes, that's probably what he did. Yeah.

0:51:52 > 0:51:56Any historians watching, prepare to get ruddy angry.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58This is The Mummy, set in Ancient Egypt.

0:51:58 > 0:52:02There's the pyramids. Now, the most famous pyramids are in Giza.

0:52:03 > 0:52:08The Sphinx, which is definitely in Giza. So, we're in Giza. No doubt about it.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14But a few moments later, when the voiceover kicks in...

0:52:14 > 0:52:18Thebes, City of the Living...

0:52:18 > 0:52:20Thebes! No, mate!

0:52:20 > 0:52:22Historians of the world, attack!

0:52:26 > 0:52:28Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

0:52:28 > 0:52:33Set in 1957, this movie somehow shows us a country, Belize,

0:52:33 > 0:52:35which didn't exist until 16 years later.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38It should be called British Honduras.

0:52:40 > 0:52:45It feels wrong to have a go at Hollywood for this, though. When it comes to showbiz archaeology,

0:52:45 > 0:52:49they gave the world Indiana Jones, and we gave it Time Team. Boo.

0:52:52 > 0:52:56The same Indy film here. Set, you'll remember, in 1957.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59But had they invented digital readouts in 1957?

0:53:01 > 0:53:02Our survey says...

0:53:02 > 0:53:03UH-UH!

0:53:07 > 0:53:10The Damned United now - excuse my swearing -

0:53:10 > 0:53:13and although it's a very sad scene, I do feel duty-bound

0:53:13 > 0:53:19to point out the 21st-century pay-and-display machine, despite the scene being set in the 1970s.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24Sometimes even I think I need to get a life.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31Revolutionary Road now, and it's the '50s.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33As DiCaprio and Winslet snog,

0:53:33 > 0:53:37We go to a globe that shows Slovakia and the Czech Republic -

0:53:37 > 0:53:41two countries that didn't become independent for four more decades.

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Global geopolitics, eh?

0:53:43 > 0:53:45You can't whack it.

0:53:48 > 0:53:52And this clanger is from Cadillac Records, set in the '40s and '50s.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54Once the duo finish their dirty business in the bath,

0:53:54 > 0:53:57check this out - a Star Wars album.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00That film wasn't out until 1977.

0:54:00 > 0:54:06Someone find the director and let him be attacked by a frenzied gang of Ewoks.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12- So you're gay now? - No, I'm not gay, I'm just celibate.

0:54:12 > 0:54:18The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and here's one for super-nerds.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20As Cal and Dave play video games and cast aspersions

0:54:20 > 0:54:25on each other's sexuality, there's a clanger to be spotted.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28...I kind of want to get back out there, but I think I like guys...

0:54:28 > 0:54:32That's right. They're playing Mortal Kombat Deception

0:54:32 > 0:54:34and Cal's using a Nintendo 64 controller.

0:54:34 > 0:54:37But that game was only ever released on PlayStation 2,

0:54:37 > 0:54:41Game Cube and X Box! Oh!

0:54:44 > 0:54:46And finally, Austrian fashionista Bruno.

0:54:46 > 0:54:49Here he is with the latest celebrity must-have.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52TRANSLATION FROM GERMAN:

0:54:54 > 0:54:59When Bruno takes baby OJ out of the box, the subtitle reads...

0:55:04 > 0:55:07But as anyone who took GCSE German will have noticed,

0:55:07 > 0:55:09there's been a translation gaffe.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Listen, Bruno says "vierzehn".

0:55:18 > 0:55:20Which means 14, not 13.

0:55:22 > 0:55:23Call the fashion police now.
