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

0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is the show that brings you the howlers the Hollywood A-list

0:00:31 > 0:00:33prayed they'd got away with.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35In the next action-packed hour,

0:00:35 > 0:00:39we're going to be showing you more blunders and gaffs than you can shake a stick at.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43And if you don't believe me, I suggest you start shaking that stick

0:00:43 > 0:00:47because once these blunders start coming, they ain't going to stop...

0:00:47 > 0:00:48for an hour!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52On tonight's show, mistakes from -

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Continuity errors are unforgivable.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08I've never understood why film-makers fail to spot them.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13All you have to do is remember to keep the same details in every shot. It's not rocket science.

0:01:13 > 0:01:19It's not even GCSE science. It's easy. So let's all laugh at the farcical errors in these films.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24Errors that, in all honesty, only an idiot would make.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Braveheart, and here's some angry Scots

0:01:29 > 0:01:32indulging in their traditional national sport...slaughter.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Mel can't make up his mind what weapon to use, though.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Here, he's got a small pickaxe.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Now it's disappeared.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Beg your pardon, it's a large sword. Sword.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58No, it's a pickaxe again.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02My mistake. It's a sword.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05God only knows what he's going to use by the time he gets there.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Here's Mel again, frolicking through woodland like what people did then.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Then all of a sudden, whoa!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16There's a sword in his hand.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21No. You're not drunk. Well, Mel might be.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It just magically appears. Watch.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Weird. Still, at least he's got something he can cut his hair with now.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35And she was a wonderful person.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- It's a terrible loss. - This is King Kong.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42The brother of Donkey and Hong.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47In this scene, the cowardly movie-star is trying to talk them into giving up like a big wuss.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50See how he has a rope slung around his yellow belly

0:02:50 > 0:02:53and notice that he never takes it off.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59But when he scuttles off - yes, off you go - he no longer has it.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Adrian Brody's holding it.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Anyone else?- Pathetic.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Thank you, Colonel.- This is Valkyrie.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14In which Tom Cruise tries to boost

0:03:14 > 0:03:17his flagging popularity by playing a German. Hmm.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Cruise's character Stauffenberg hands Herr Hitler the revised version of Operation Valkyrie.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28See how Hitler grabs the folder with his right hand and in the next shot,

0:03:28 > 0:03:31he's holding it with his left hand.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Come on, Hitler. Ah!

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Rewind.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41See? A sloppy error from one of the most reviled men in history.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45And just to be clear, I'm talking about Hitler. Not Tom Cruise.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52Tom Cruise again underneath some beautifully conditioned hair

0:03:52 > 0:03:54in Mission Impossible 2.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Look at those tyres. They look pretty standard to me.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04But moments later when Tom goes off road...they're knobbly.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09I don't know about the mission, but that's impossible.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17This is Hairspray, and the tubby girl you can see is John Travolta,

0:04:17 > 0:04:20dressing like he does whenever his wife goes out.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Keep your eye on the road outside Mr Pinky's.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25There's no sign of a car, and then wallop!

0:04:25 > 0:04:28There's a pink one right next to them.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33Then it's gone again. Now it's back. Then it's gone.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Like John, I'm deeply confused.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41This is Click,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43and a scene starring trained coastguard David Hasselhoff.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Here he is looking fetching in spectacles.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54While he shovels in food, making less mess than he does

0:04:54 > 0:04:57on that drunken YouTube video, you keep an eye on those glasses.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00They're there.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Then faster than you can say "sober up", they've gone.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I spent money I don't have.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Now, John Tucker Must Die. Poor fella.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Ignore his impending death and keep an eye on the extras by the pillar.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20They keep disappearing.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28And reappearing.

0:05:28 > 0:05:34- Oh, sorry.- That, my friends, is quite, quite baffling.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41A very glorified position where you have your cars and your houses...

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Factory Girl. Hayden Christensen chucks his beer bottle away...

0:05:45 > 0:05:50..here he goes, woo, tough guy! It smashes.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53But when he drives his motorbike into the lake like an idiot...

0:05:53 > 0:05:56The decking shows no sign of any broken glass.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59You could eat your dinner off that. But don't.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Batman now.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yeah, we can't get enough of the Caped Crusader.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09There have now been six Batman movies and every one has been littered with mistakes.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13The star of the last two was Christian Bale, and he just loves movie mistakes.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Whereas most of us just titter or raise a smile, he expresses

0:06:16 > 0:06:20his mirth by ranting at a lighting technician for nine long minutes.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Thank goodness he didn't spot these errors, or some poor crew member

0:06:23 > 0:06:27would have been picking his face off the floor with broken fingers.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- I'm just ahead of the curve. - This is The Dark Knight.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36The Joker, who clearly takes make-up tips from Jodie Marsh,

0:06:36 > 0:06:39has got Batman in a right old tizz.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44As Batman slams The Joker against the wall,

0:06:44 > 0:06:48you can make out the reflection of the cameraman. There, easy, Chris.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Here's the character Two-Face in the same film.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57A man who seems to have been a tad over enthusiastic

0:06:57 > 0:06:59when exfoliating the left side of his face.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Still, at least he shifted them blackheads.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Keep your peepers on the clip thing on Two-Face's finger.

0:07:06 > 0:07:12It's on in this shot, then gone in the next. And it keeps happening.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15A continuity error or some kind of black magic? Let's toss for it.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's a continuity error.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Oh-oof!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Before Batman was played by international man of anger

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Christian Bale, the Caped Crusader was a very different short of chap.

0:07:32 > 0:07:38Yet, as these clips show, he was no less likely to drop big fat clangers.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46This is a scene from the first Batman movie.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49A henchman defaces a priceless Rembrandt

0:07:49 > 0:07:50and who can blame him?

0:07:50 > 0:07:56But a second later, the handprints have somehow...gone.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59He should've used a good quality emulsion.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Same film, different clip.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Now, the Joker is merrily blasting bullets

0:08:09 > 0:08:11into this gentle pensioner.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15The elderly actor now just has to slump in his chair and play dead.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Can he manage it?

0:08:21 > 0:08:22What do you reckon?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28D'oh.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33You'll need to watch closely for this one.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37The Caped Crusader kicks the mugger so hard, he flies through a door.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43But watch it again and you'll see it wasn't the force of the kick that did it.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47It was this wire.

0:08:52 > 0:08:58This is Batman Returns in which Batman, er, returns.

0:08:58 > 0:09:04See if you can spot this next mistake all on your own. I won't give you any clues.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09I won't even mention that Pfieffer's not screaming, her gob's just a wide open.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Did you spot the mistake?

0:09:16 > 0:09:20In this scene, Michelle Pfeiffer is in a right old mard.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Better not tell her that her scissors go from blue here

0:09:26 > 0:09:28to pink here.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Let's see that again.

0:09:32 > 0:09:38Blue, blue, blue. Pink! Pink!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I shan't mention it, she probably just needs some chocolate and a nice sit down.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Batman is the one superhero who doesn't have any superpowers.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Unless you count billions of dollars

0:09:52 > 0:09:55and people who help him to the ground when he falls over.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00You don't know about that? Watch.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04You can see the crew member's hand there.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Not so tough now, are you?

0:10:09 > 0:10:13In this scene, a penguin, sorry, The Penguin,

0:10:13 > 0:10:14has taken control of the Batmobile.

0:10:16 > 0:10:22Not to worry, Wayne Enterprises didn't get where it is today with poor craftsmanship.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27So it's disappointing to see the dashboard of the Batmobile wobble like it's made of rubber.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32It's almost as if it's just a fake car made for the purposes of a movie.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37I love the way billionaire Bruce Wayne makes

0:10:37 > 0:10:41a decrepit pensioner run around after him. But good old Alfred

0:10:41 > 0:10:43is always so accommodating, even when he's unconscious.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47He moves the tray out of the way, so The Riddler can open the door.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Let's see that again and look carefully at Alfred's hand.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Will that be all, sir? Only my brain is haemorrhaging.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04This one from Batman Forever is cool, too.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Watch how the diamond pulled out of the case by The Riddler

0:11:08 > 0:11:11shrinks in the blink of an eye. See?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18He pulls out a bloomin' biggun' and then when he examines it,

0:11:18 > 0:11:23it's pea-sized. Either that or his hands went massive.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Batman And Robin now, and if there's one thing about Uma Thurman,

0:11:31 > 0:11:34it's that she can take her gloves off quicker than anyone in the business.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39- Gotham Observatory...- See? No gloves.- ..and step on it.

0:11:42 > 0:11:48Napoleon Dynamite follows the school days of a socially inept nerd who sits on his own in the canteen,

0:11:48 > 0:11:52has no friends and spends his time drawing pictures of fictional animals.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55As such, I am unable to relate to it.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Fictional animals weren't my thing. I was more of a "spending hours pouring over films,

0:11:59 > 0:12:04"trying to pick petty holes in a movie to make myself feel important" kind of a guy.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06As I shall now demonstrate.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Here's our big-haired hero now,

0:12:12 > 0:12:16stood on his Jack Jones watching a farmer slaughter cattle.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Nothing works!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31GUNSHOT, CHILDREN SCREAM

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Except, hang on. He's not alone, is he?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Look, there's a reflection of the film crew.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- GUNSHOT, CHILDREN SCREAM - Oh, I'm so glad.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Rather than eat fruit, those unhealthy Americans

0:12:49 > 0:12:51prefer to lob it at their uncle's van.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56But the film-makers have boobed. See how the fruit bounces off, leaving just a bit of juice?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59But when he stops here, the windscreen's caked in fruit.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Mmm...cake.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10What better way to spend a sunny afternoon

0:13:10 > 0:13:13than using a van to test the durability of Tupperware?

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Shame they've marred that lovely thought with a mistake.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Here, the bowl's green.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30But here, it's blue.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35And thanks to that error, I've gone from a pasty hue of pink to bright red which rage.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Clothes.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44You might not think it, but clothes are probably the most important thing in the Hollywood machine.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48If actors don't look the part, the magic is lost, so these clips...

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Actually, hang on, I suppose cameras are quite important, too.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54And actors, I mean, they're kind of crucial. But anyway, clothes are,

0:13:54 > 0:13:59if not THE most important bit of the Hollywood machine, certainly right up there.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01So these clips... Wait a minute. What about funding?

0:14:01 > 0:14:07Then there's post-production and editing, marketing and the script.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Let's just say these next blunders are all to do with clothes.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Clothes.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21First up, the haunting majesty of Mamma Mia.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24In Lay All Your Love On Me, Sophie looks

0:14:24 > 0:14:26to be wearing a very pretty swimsuit.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28But in this shot, she's ruined the look

0:14:28 > 0:14:32with a pair of black trousers. See?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38I don't know what these guys are up to.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45This is Vanilla Sky and no-one's suggesting that

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Tom's religious beliefs give him magical powers.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53However, he starts with naked legs, then...

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Look, he's got his jim-jams on.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58I am at a loss to explain that.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06Fight Club now. Watch here as Meatloaf's trousers fall down. Oops!

0:15:06 > 0:15:08That's worth another look.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Not only do they fall down,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15but also reveal him to be wearing a fat suit.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19First rule of Fight Club - get Meatloaf to buy a ruddy belt.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button now.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Or the curious case of the unbuttoned body warmer.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Nobody seems to know whether to stay or leave.

0:15:34 > 0:15:39See her how Caroline carefully removes her top and throws it down for all to see?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Then it's back on.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Weird.

0:15:51 > 0:15:57In this scene from King Kong, Anne is trying to escape from a T Rex.

0:15:57 > 0:16:02Well, you would, wouldn't you? She slides on her butt and gets a muddy stain all over it.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Oh, look, it's covered!

0:16:08 > 0:16:12But in the next shot, check out her backside. It's laundry fresh.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Now stop staring at it.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21This is Nacho Libre.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Watch what the boys at home are wearing.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Coloured T-shirts and shirts.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31But a split second later, they're all in vests.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Poor little fellas.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41John Tucker Must Die, if only cos he makes silly continuity errors.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Look at his headband, it's black as the night.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Or is it?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Because that looks distinctly red to me.

0:16:50 > 0:16:55And how it's black again. He really must die.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02More than two decades after its first movie, the Indiana Jones franchise just keeps on going,

0:17:02 > 0:17:06which is more than you can say for Harrison Ford's gammy hip.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Bless him, he's getting on. I think it's time he gave it a rest.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12The only time Indiana should be searching for ancient manuscripts

0:17:12 > 0:17:15is when he ventures into the attic to find his birth certificate.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18And I can only think it's his advancing years

0:17:18 > 0:17:21that have allowed all these mistakes to make the final cut.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26If my mom doesn't find it, they'll kill them both.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Apart from the first three, this is definitely my favourite Indy film.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34But keep your eyes on the sauce bottles after Mutt -

0:17:34 > 0:17:37- yes, that's really what he's called, Mutt - knocks them over.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40They go from lying down to standing up.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43You don't have to get sore all the time...

0:17:43 > 0:17:45And, you've guessed it, kiddo.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47They're lying down again.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I can only pray to God that none of it was spilled.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55You know those times when you tie your shoelaces and end up thinking,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59"Blimey, I'm glad I did that, otherwise I would have been shot."

0:18:00 > 0:18:03He knows what I'm talking about. But did you spot the gaffe?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15The two Russians on the right have run out of ammo but keep firing.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22We're going to go back to the first three Indy films, but be warned,

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Dr Jones was as gaffe-prone then as he is now.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32In this scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35as Indy gets seven bells leathered out of him by a chunky Nazi,

0:18:35 > 0:18:40Marion tries to help out by taxiing a light aircraft towards them.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Lord knows why.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44But look carefully and you can see the crew

0:18:44 > 0:18:48reflected in the windscreen of the plane. There we are.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54And they just stand there while Indy takes a beating. Spineless.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Indiana Jones, who claims to be an archaeologist, bashes his way

0:19:01 > 0:19:05out of an ancient Egyptian temple without a second thought.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Criminal.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14This building was built more than 2,000 years ago.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17You'd think it was made out of stone or something but, no,

0:19:17 > 0:19:22these blocks seem to be made out of a rubbery polystyrene substance that bounces.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Boing, boing.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Cairo, 1936.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34As Indiana Jones sits around getting spannered - well, he is on holiday -

0:19:34 > 0:19:37those in the background act as you would in 1930s Egypt,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39walking like Egyptians and that,

0:19:39 > 0:19:41while dressing in traditional costume.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48Apart from this spoilsport in T-shirt and jeans, who ruins

0:19:48 > 0:19:52the entire Indiana Jones franchise for every single one of us.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Even the monkey's disgusted.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Some clangers in this one, too. We're looking at the backgrounds

0:20:02 > 0:20:05as they inexplicably change from trees to rocks.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Trees. Rocks.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13It's a journey about as realistic as an animatronic rhino.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Oh, look, now we're back to trees.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30What's this? A guest appearance from some fields, too.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Backdrops later in that scene

0:20:34 > 0:20:38include swamp, ocean, space, Arctic tundra and Warrington.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47This is The Last Crusade.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Watch the length of Connery's beard

0:20:51 > 0:20:54after Indiana has apparently plunged to his death.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oh, God,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I've lost him.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03A few moments later, and ding!

0:21:03 > 0:21:07The grief has caused much of the hair to retreat back into his face.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09It can do that, apparently.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16An anachronism is a chronological error, a detail in a story that is

0:21:16 > 0:21:19at odds with the time in which that story is set.

0:21:19 > 0:21:25One example would be a dinosaur driving a Fiat Punto, another would be Boris Johnson's hairdo.

0:21:25 > 0:21:31Here are some movie anachronisms I found on a DVD a friend gave to me 20 years ago.

0:21:31 > 0:21:36Ha! Yes, you spotted it. I didn't have any friends 20 years ago.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44This Gangs Of New York clip is a personal favourite.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47As the fight kicks off, you can see a couple of bananas on the floor.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54And yet, bananas were not traded in pre-Civil War USA at all.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58But, heck, you don't need me to tell you that basic fruit fact.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'm talking about an alliance between our two great organisations.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Same movie here, and another kick in the nuts

0:22:06 > 0:22:09for our old friend historical accuracy. Sorry, pal.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13We're about to see a paperclip in a scene set in the 1860s,

0:22:13 > 0:22:16even though they weren't invented until 1899.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20There it is. Don't worry, historical accuracy,

0:22:20 > 0:22:21your balls will stop aching soon.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Just dunk them in a bowl of warm water.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30In American Gangster, set in the 1970s, remember,

0:22:30 > 0:22:32we can see a poster in the background

0:22:32 > 0:22:35with a blooming great web address on it.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Yeah, you might as well hang up, Denzel. It's ruined now.

0:22:42 > 0:22:48Walk The Line now, and we can see a 1960s VW Beetle in the background.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52What's a 1960s VW Beetle doing in Germany in 1952?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Making me very angry indeed, that's what.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Rousseau says, if we assume man has been corrupted

0:23:01 > 0:23:04by an artificial civilisation...

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Period flick Marie Antoinette here, and as these ladies chill out

0:23:07 > 0:23:11in some sort of meadow, keep your eyes on the skies.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16Ah. The vapour or contrail of an aeroplane.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21That's right, one of them jet planes they used to have in the late 18th century.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Here's a cheery little scene from The Other Boleyn Girl.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Mary's coming along to see her sister Anne get beheaded.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37But it's not the horrific sight of her sister's head leaving her body that just made Mary wince.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39She's just spotted the unforgivable gaffe.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Let's look again.

0:23:42 > 0:23:48This film is set in 1536, but look on the wall behind the executioner.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50That's a modern metal drainpipe.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Heads rolled for this one.

0:23:56 > 0:24:03Ah, Britain. Britain, Britain, Britain. Home to some of the greatest movies of all time.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08So it seems unbelievable that a country that gave the world Lawrence Of Arabia, Brief Encounter,

0:24:08 > 0:24:13Chariots Of Fire and Magicians could produce a film with a single sub-standard moment in it.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Fans of the film Confetti might have spotted that

0:24:16 > 0:24:20I made the basic error of spending the whole film with my penis out.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Ruddy costume department!

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Yes, prepare to have your patriotism smashed into a million pieces,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29because, if you're anything like me,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32these shameful movie mistakes will have you curling up

0:24:32 > 0:24:35in your Union Flag duvet and crying yourself to sleep.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Ah, St Trinian's,

0:24:41 > 0:24:45a movie loved by teenage girls and middle-aged men alike.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49In this one, Colin Firth dips his forefinger into the beaker of vodka,

0:24:49 > 0:24:52but then licks his middle finger.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53The dirty beggar.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01And now he's staggering around

0:25:01 > 0:25:05like a teenage binge drinker at kicking-out time.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07What a lightweight.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Sticking with St Trinian's, and the cable the girls are crawling along

0:25:13 > 0:25:15goes from above the audience, here,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18to behind Stephen Fry on stage, here.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Look, from above, national treasure Stephen

0:25:24 > 0:25:26is clearly out of the drop zone.

0:25:26 > 0:25:30If they fell here, they would kill one of the nation's best-loved celebrities.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Whereas, if they fell over the audience,

0:25:32 > 0:25:34it would just be six or seven extras.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40The brilliant Shaun Of The Dead.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45Quentin Tarantino's favourite British film of all time.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49A judgment Quentin might reconsider when I point this baby out.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53Look, Simon Pegg's name tag is fully visible here.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Moments later, after shooting the breeze with Jessica Stevenson,

0:25:58 > 0:25:59it's covered up by his jacket.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Are you having that, Quentin?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Three years ago last week, actually.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I like this one.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Can you see anything funny? Have another look.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Nick Frost doesn't actually pick up the ashtray.

0:26:19 > 0:26:20His hand is empty.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24Apologies, Nick, but you've just been comprehensively outmanoeuvred

0:26:24 > 0:26:26by the BBC's slow-motion technology.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Sexy Beast, in which Ray Winstone plays radically against type,

0:26:34 > 0:26:37by portraying a Cockney geezer.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Watch this boulder.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43It comes rolling down the hill and leaps over his right shoulder,

0:26:43 > 0:26:45but then lands over his left shoulder.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52Fans of celluloid geological faux pas can enjoy this again.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Over his right there...

0:26:55 > 0:26:57and there...

0:26:57 > 0:26:58but now over his left.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02In your face, Winstone.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08With Richard Curtis and Hugh Grant on the scene, it's easy

0:27:08 > 0:27:13to be fooled into thinking we Brits are the masters of making rom-coms.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16But as these errors demonstrate, we're not!

0:27:19 > 0:27:23This is rom-com classic Notting Hill, which, as you're about to see,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26features a kid crying for an entire year.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30At the start of the film, Hugh Grant walks towards his bookshop

0:27:30 > 0:27:33and there's a mother consoling her weeping child in the alley.

0:27:35 > 0:27:4120 minutes into the film, Hugh's met Julia Roberts, fallen in love and is watching her films.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Fairly...fabulous.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45And cut to his bookshop.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Who's this? It's the same woman and child

0:27:48 > 0:27:51and she's still crying. Boo-hoo.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55Then another hour into the movie, and he's met Julia,

0:27:55 > 0:27:57they've got together, they split up, as couples often do.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01A whole year has passed.

0:28:01 > 0:28:06But, as we once more cut to the shop, that child is still sobbing.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09The mother is a patient woman, but could have nipped the whole thing

0:28:09 > 0:28:11in the bud, with a quick 'shut up'.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18This is Wimbledon, the film, not the area.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Watch as Peter throws a cushion at his brother, which lands in his lap.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26But now it's gone.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29I can only think it dissolved into his groin. Urgh!

0:28:33 > 0:28:35This film really hasn't covered itself in glory.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Here's another boob.

0:28:41 > 0:28:46When Peter and Lizzie start to kiss, there's a bus miles behind them.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50But what's this? As Lizzie's randy disregard for road safety

0:28:50 > 0:28:54makes him swerve about, the bus is suddenly right up their backside.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59For those of you who have not seen the film, Iron Man

0:28:59 > 0:29:04is the heart-warming story of a Morphy Richards steam iron that turns into a real little boy.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07And if it's not, hands off, because that's my idea!

0:29:07 > 0:29:13The film also stars Robert Downey Jr as a military engineer who builds himself a protective iron suit.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I only hope it's thick enough to protect his feelings as well,

0:29:16 > 0:29:20because Robert, we have found some errors in your movie film.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Look how Tony Stark's personal secretary Pepper

0:29:27 > 0:29:30shoves in the arc reactor chest piece.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34Or for my money, the distributor cap on a Ford Mondeo.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Here, and again here.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Nice.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44No, not nice at all, Iron Man.

0:29:45 > 0:29:50In this scene, Pepper might look like a technological whiz,

0:29:50 > 0:29:52but she's not.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54See her hands-free earpiece?

0:29:54 > 0:29:59When she takes a call from Tony and really needs it, it's gone.

0:29:59 > 0:30:04For a personal secretary, she's got a shocking understanding

0:30:04 > 0:30:06of hands-free telecommunications.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12I tell you what I hate about Iron Man's Tony Stark,

0:30:12 > 0:30:15he drives around without a front registration plate.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Because not only is it illegal and stupid, it's also downright...

0:30:21 > 0:30:22Oh, there it is.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28Tell you what I love about Iron Man's Tony Stark...

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Look at this one.

0:30:37 > 0:30:42There are two Humvees in convoy, one in the front gets blown up.

0:30:42 > 0:30:47The next shot shows the one behind exploding.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51- What's going on? - Yes, what is going on?

0:30:53 > 0:30:58The most obvious error in the film Twilight is that it involves teenagers sucking each other's necks

0:30:58 > 0:31:01and yet it doesn't feature a single love bite.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Not exactly realistic.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06In this film, they actually pierce the skin and suck the blood out,

0:31:06 > 0:31:10which I always found was a sure-fire way of souring a first date.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14Here are some other errors that sour this film. Hoho!

0:31:16 > 0:31:21This is Bella, and she has been beaten up by a vampire.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23If that nasal cannula keeps changing position,

0:31:23 > 0:31:26she won't make a speedy recovery.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Here, the tubes are right by her eyes.

0:31:29 > 0:31:34Then suddenly, they are halfway down her cheeks.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38Then they're back again and how much does Edward care?

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Not much.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44I've killed people before.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47In this one, Edward's mouth moves but no words come out.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Let's see that again.

0:31:56 > 0:32:01Is he chewing the air or is he performing a short lip dance? Hard to say.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06More lip dancing issues

0:32:06 > 0:32:09as our two lovers smooch under the stars.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Edward's mouth moves, and no words come out again.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Spit it out, mate.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- I'm not going...- At last.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27In the olden days, before the dawn of internet piracy, movie fans

0:32:27 > 0:32:33would gather in big rooms - they were called cinemas - and tried to watch the movie while a fat kid

0:32:33 > 0:32:35rustled his bag of sweets all the way through.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39This noisy distraction made it impossible to pay any real attention,

0:32:39 > 0:32:43meaning film-makers could leave in as many errors as they liked.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45And they jolly well did!

0:32:48 > 0:32:52This is a brilliant one from early classic King Kong.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Watch this guy jump out of his hut,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00lose his balance and fall into a chicken coop.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04His wig even comes off and get caught in the fence.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09This is the Invisible Man, wearing a white shirt

0:33:09 > 0:33:15and getting chased round and round some furniture by the rozzers.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19Later on in the film, he's taken off all his clothes so he can't be seen at all. Genius.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23But hang on, when his footprints appear in the snow, they are

0:33:23 > 0:33:28in the shape of shoes, so presumably we should be seeing these shoes?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31You don't fool me, Mr Invisible Man, I can see right through you,

0:33:31 > 0:33:34and unfortunately, so did the police.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40Casablanca, and here comes a character who claims

0:33:40 > 0:33:44to be a major, but his uniform

0:33:44 > 0:33:46can't make its mind up.

0:33:46 > 0:33:50Look at his shoulders, no major's epaulettes there.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57There they are. And now they've gone.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06And then he gets on the blower and they're back.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09- GUNSHOTS - Congratulations, you are a major.

0:34:09 > 0:34:10Oh, you're dead.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Some Like It Hot, a classic movie

0:34:19 > 0:34:22and a pretty good serving suggestion for porridge.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26In this, the opening chase scene, police pursue a band of bootleggers.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29When the whisky-filled coffin is hit by bullets,

0:34:29 > 0:34:31whisky flows out of the holes,

0:34:31 > 0:34:36but it flows out of the lid, which is above the level of the liquid.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40Some Like It Hot, some like it scientifically accurate, too.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47Today, it takes nine months for a baby to be born.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Back in the days of Gone With The Wind,

0:34:49 > 0:34:52it was all over in a split second.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55In this scene, Melanie is standing on the stairs with empty hands.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58But keep watching.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00He's surrendered.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05She is now carrying a bouncing baby.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Quick, towels and hot water.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Here, Ashley is brought back wounded, with a ruptured haircut.

0:35:14 > 0:35:20Melanie grabs a lamp to follow them to the bedroom,

0:35:20 > 0:35:25but can you see an electrical cord hanging down? In 1860?

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Classic horror flick The Wizard of Oz,

0:35:31 > 0:35:35and it's hair problems for Dorothy.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38- I didn't scare ya?- In one shot,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41her pigtails are quite short...

0:35:41 > 0:35:44I didn't think so!

0:35:44 > 0:35:48But in the other, her hair cascades right down to her bosom area.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51It's not the scarecrow who needs a brain!

0:35:54 > 0:35:55This one's a belter, too.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59It's Carey Grant in Hitchcock's North By Northwest.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03The policeman in the back forgets to lean as they simulate a turn.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Carey gives him a prod and a dirty look.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- Where are we going?- Airport.

0:36:08 > 0:36:09- For what?- Orders.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Yeah, that's definitely worth another watch.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Where are we going?- Airport.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19They say the old ones are the best, and this is one

0:36:19 > 0:36:22of the very rare occasions where that's actually true.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25I don't want to be taken to an airport. I want police headquarters!

0:36:30 > 0:36:33This is EastEnders spin-off Breakfast At Tiffany's.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35And watch George Peppard's hair.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40When we first see him, it's combed to the side.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46He stands there in the pouring rain, watching Audrey Hepburn desperately

0:36:46 > 0:36:50trying to keep her pussy dry, and thinking how much he loves it when a plan comes together.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03And then we cut back to him, and it's slicked back.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Now it's to the side again.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Crazy fool!

0:37:14 > 0:37:18Now, as if you already weren't, let's have a look at Hepburn's ears.

0:37:20 > 0:37:24She has a tasselled earplug in one, but not in the other.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28All right, keep your misbehaving hair on!

0:37:30 > 0:37:35But when she goes to open the door to Hannibal Smith, she inexplicably has plugs in both ears.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44Maybe she can't abide Hannibal's incessant talking.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47I am sorry to bother you...

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Gladiator now.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52An epic about a man who wins the hearts and minds of the fickle

0:37:52 > 0:37:56public by bravely fighting humans and wild animals with his top off.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59Do that in a Hollywood film and you are a hero.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03Try doing it in a pub car park after closing time, and see who's on your side then.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08Those galling double standards aside, this film is a Mistakeus Maximus.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11Errors everywhere, as we shall now demonstrate.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17It's the morning after the big battle, when the film-makers

0:38:17 > 0:38:20have gone to great lengths to ensure the scene looks realistic.

0:38:22 > 0:38:28Oh, there's a man in jeans trying to creep unnoticed out of shot.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30That's definitely worth another look.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Thanks for stinking the scene out, mate.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Here's Maximus taking the unusual step

0:38:38 > 0:38:41of demanding a review in the middle of the film.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Are you not entertained?- 'Yes, Maximus.'- Are you not entertained?

0:38:45 > 0:38:48We're entertained.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Is this not why you are here?

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Are you not entertained?

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Or we were, before this bloke in jeans wandered into the shot.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Are you not entertained? - That sort of ruined it for me.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04I don't care how seriously it takes itself,

0:39:04 > 0:39:05I'm pointing this mistake out.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's supposed to be 2,000 years ago,

0:39:11 > 0:39:15so why has this chariot got a gas canister strapped on the back?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18That's what I call a Mistakeus Maximus.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25As well as inventing viaducts, roads and a modern legal system,

0:39:25 > 0:39:27the Romans apparently invented rubber-soled boots.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30If not, why is this soldier wearing them?

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Hm? Ah? Why? Hm? Yeah?

0:39:34 > 0:39:37Those of you who spent the entire film worrying that

0:39:37 > 0:39:42these spiked helmets will have someone's eye out, fear not.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45As this clip shows, the spike's just made of floppy rubber.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47A bit like a Teletubby, I suppose.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Here, Maximus is being pestered by an over-amorous tiger.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Well, we have all been there. He manages to roll the beast off him.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00See?

0:40:02 > 0:40:07But, er, it's still on him.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11He probably clambered back under it when he realised how cuddly it was.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18This is the big finale,

0:40:18 > 0:40:22and the fight to the death between Maximus and Commodus.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25But I have got a funny feeling they are both going to be OK,

0:40:25 > 0:40:27because it's a bendy knife.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Look, it's rubber.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33The Simpsons now.

0:40:33 > 0:40:34From its humble beginnings

0:40:34 > 0:40:37as a five-minute slot on The Tracey Ullman Show,

0:40:37 > 0:40:40its custard-coloured stars have become showbiz royalty.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Their success is not only a credit to the show's wonderful writing,

0:40:43 > 0:40:47but also one in the eye for anyone who believes that a town suffering

0:40:47 > 0:40:50from an endemic jaundice problem cannot prosper and thrive.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53Sadly, though, when it came to finally make The Simpsons Movie,

0:40:53 > 0:40:57the continuity checking was as duff as the beer that Homer

0:40:57 > 0:41:00swallows down into his fat, yellow tummy each and every day.

0:41:02 > 0:41:03You know, it's the law.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06When rumours emerged that The Simpsons Movie was going to

0:41:06 > 0:41:08feature shots of Bart Simpson naked,

0:41:08 > 0:41:12weird animation perverts flocked to the cinemas in their thousands.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15Imagine their disappointment when this blade of grass appeared

0:41:15 > 0:41:17out of nowhere to spoil their sick enjoyment.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Ha, ha! Ha, ha!

0:41:21 > 0:41:23No sign of it there.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Lunchtime!

0:41:28 > 0:41:31You can't just leave me out here.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32And then, bam.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34I'm glad somebody finds it funny.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Ha, ha! Ha, ha! Ha, ha!

0:41:39 > 0:41:43Who could forget the character of Jeff Albertson? Oh, all of you.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46He's better-known as Comic Book Guy.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Or should that be Comic Book Guys?

0:41:48 > 0:41:51See how he's standing next to Homer here?

0:41:54 > 0:41:57Now Homer zooms off down the road to collect Marge,

0:41:57 > 0:41:59and he's standing next to her, too!

0:41:59 > 0:42:02A rare animated doppelganger.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08One of the reasons films these days feature less fags and booze

0:42:08 > 0:42:10is because they do not want to encourage young people

0:42:10 > 0:42:12to take up such nasty habits.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14That's not the main reason, though.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18The main reason is if you crack open any booze on set,

0:42:18 > 0:42:20the whole crew gets absolutely rat-brained

0:42:20 > 0:42:24and starts making basic, basic errors, like these.

0:42:26 > 0:42:27Your maid of honour!

0:42:27 > 0:42:29It's going to be great.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31This is classic, classic movie Bride Wars.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Look what Deb is holding.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35A wine glass

0:42:35 > 0:42:37and a bottle with a white label.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Hey, can I make a suggestion?

0:42:40 > 0:42:43But now it appears to be a champagne flute of wine,

0:42:43 > 0:42:45and a bottle with a yellow label.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46This is really nice white wine.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48This is making me feel drunk.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55This is a thinly disguised tourism advert for Australia.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01Watch the bottle go from plump and full to thin and empty.

0:43:01 > 0:43:02And back again.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Let's have a look at that again.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Full.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14Empty.

0:43:21 > 0:43:22This film is Superbad.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25See how the dancing, grinding, sexy lady girl

0:43:25 > 0:43:27is holding a bottle of alcopop.

0:43:27 > 0:43:30And now look closely...

0:43:30 > 0:43:32She's not holding it.

0:43:32 > 0:43:36Hey! You dance hot!

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Thank you.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41And now she is.

0:43:41 > 0:43:44She can try distracting me with her lascivious dancing all she wants,

0:43:44 > 0:43:46but... Oh, crumbs, she is quite nice.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Something they don't tell you in the church...

0:43:51 > 0:43:53This is The Departed with Jack Nicholson.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57Ever seen a man eat a cigarette in less than a tenth of a second?

0:43:57 > 0:43:59..What I'm saying to you is this...

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Well, you have now.

0:44:04 > 0:44:05School?

0:44:05 > 0:44:07This is Leo DiCaprio in the same film.

0:44:07 > 0:44:11Ever seen a man inhale then start blowing smoke rings

0:44:11 > 0:44:13in less than a tenth of a second?

0:44:14 > 0:44:16You have now.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22And this is Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Ever seen a woman swap which hand she's smoking with?

0:44:25 > 0:44:29Yeah, you probably have, actually.

0:44:29 > 0:44:33This is good, though. It keeps swapping hands.

0:44:33 > 0:44:38She will burn herself if she's not careful.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42You're going down in the fourth.

0:44:42 > 0:44:45Snatch now. Watch what is or is not in Brad's mouth.

0:44:45 > 0:44:51So give it up for the bone crunching, one-punch machine gun of Mickey!

0:44:51 > 0:44:54I wish we could see a bit more of this scene, because God knows

0:44:54 > 0:44:58how Brad thinks he's going to smoke while wearing boxing gloves.

0:45:00 > 0:45:04Despite having a name that makes him sound like a gay Italian spider,

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Quentin Tarantino is a mighty fine film director,

0:45:07 > 0:45:11but he is prone to silly mistakes, from using the same shot twice

0:45:11 > 0:45:16or fluffing lines to forgetting to tell Michael Madsen not to cut that guy's actual ear off.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Here are some of the man's biggest boobs.

0:45:20 > 0:45:24First up, Kill Bill, and this is Daryl Hannah getting dunked.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Daryl once played a mermaid,

0:45:28 > 0:45:31and yet here she is making a right old fuss about a bit of water.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33No pleasing some people.

0:45:34 > 0:45:35But take it back and watch again.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40You can see the Plexiglas between her and the bog.

0:45:43 > 0:45:45Observe how her sweet breath steams it up.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47A silly giveaway.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52You know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?

0:45:52 > 0:45:54This is Pulp Fiction,

0:45:54 > 0:45:56and these two cool cats might look comfortable on the road.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59That's because they are not even driving.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03If you watch the reflection in the shop window,

0:46:03 > 0:46:06you can clearly see the car on the back of a trailer.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10Royale with cheese? Royale with cheats, you mean!

0:46:14 > 0:46:18Reservoir Dogs now, and the cops are chasing Mr Pink.

0:46:18 > 0:46:21They run past this grey building here...

0:46:25 > 0:46:31A few seconds later, as he flees from one of those pistol whippings American police like to dish out,

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Mr Pink run past it.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Sorry, who's chasing who?

0:46:41 > 0:46:44And if we keep watching, as Mr Pink shatters his spine...

0:46:48 > 0:46:50and does a bit of car jacking,

0:46:50 > 0:46:54the police run past the same grey building again.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Is this Scooby Doo?

0:46:58 > 0:47:03A character's costume is essential to making an audience believe as the acting.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Superman's cape and tights,

0:47:05 > 0:47:09Harry Potter's school uniform, Chewbacca's...belt.

0:47:09 > 0:47:11And as for those Sex And The City girls,

0:47:11 > 0:47:15each one of them has more costume changes than Kim Cattrall's

0:47:15 > 0:47:18character Samantha has had lovers, and that's a disgusting total.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21The point is, for any self-respecting director,

0:47:21 > 0:47:23wardrobe malfunctions are deeply embarrassing,

0:47:23 > 0:47:27which makes it all the sweeter that we have spotted these bad boys.

0:47:29 > 0:47:3145-years-old, no living family...

0:47:31 > 0:47:34This is a scene from Quantum Of Solace and M, played by Judi Dench,

0:47:34 > 0:47:35must have asked Q

0:47:35 > 0:47:37to knock up some high-tech shoes.

0:47:37 > 0:47:41Because she's wearing flat shoes at the top of the stairs,

0:47:41 > 0:47:45but at the bottom, they appear to have morphed into heels.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48Have another look. Flat there.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52- ..through every bill in his wallet and house.- How much did he have?

0:47:52 > 0:47:54Less than £100.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57Heels there. Astounding.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01This is Slumdog Millionaire,

0:48:01 > 0:48:03and these guys really will be millionaires

0:48:03 > 0:48:07if they can harness the incredible powers of their magic jewellery.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11See Latika is wearing a nose ring here

0:48:11 > 0:48:13and then, piff paff puff...

0:48:15 > 0:48:17..it's gone.

0:48:18 > 0:48:19Now it's back again.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23Oh, get your act together, love!

0:48:26 > 0:48:29And now Zoolander.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32When Derek and Matilda arrive at Hansel's, watch how Hansel

0:48:32 > 0:48:35plays hokey cokey with his turquoise necklace.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37It's dangling outside his T-shirt.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Excuse me, Hansel...

0:48:39 > 0:48:40But here, it's in.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43..I am just going to lay it out.

0:48:43 > 0:48:47- Out.- Derek has been brainwashed

0:48:47 > 0:48:49to kill the prime minister of Malaysia.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51- In.- And?

0:48:51 > 0:48:56And we need a place to hide until we...

0:48:56 > 0:48:58An error, or a satire on the fickle nature of fashion?

0:48:58 > 0:49:00I suppose we will never know.

0:49:00 > 0:49:01Oh, it's out again!

0:49:01 > 0:49:04Yeah, you're cool to hide here.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07Luckily, Owen Wilson has the strangest hooter in history,

0:49:07 > 0:49:09- which acts as a handy distraction.- Fine.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11Good job, nose!

0:49:11 > 0:49:13..been acting messed-up towards me?

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Weird fantasy movie Stardust now,

0:49:17 > 0:49:20in which Michelle Pfeiffer has really let herself go.

0:49:24 > 0:49:25Look at her teeth.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28They've only been darkened at the front.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31At the back they're white. In fact, I'd go further.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34They're some of the most elegant molars I've seen in the last decade.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39This is Goldmember and we're watching out for

0:49:39 > 0:49:41the cartwheeling woman as she flips.

0:49:43 > 0:49:44The wig comes off.

0:49:49 > 0:49:50See?

0:49:50 > 0:49:54Bizarrely, though, the hair under the wig looks just the same as the wig.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57I mean, what was the wig for?

0:49:59 > 0:50:01- Bratz!- Yeah!

0:50:01 > 0:50:02This is Bratz,

0:50:02 > 0:50:04and as these girls risk serious injury

0:50:04 > 0:50:07by launching into dance rehearsals without a warm-up,

0:50:07 > 0:50:09they're wearing vest-tops.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12When it comes to the wide shot, they're wearing T-shirts.

0:50:12 > 0:50:13Vest-tops.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15T-shirts.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18Vest-tops. T-shirts.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20Oh, give it a rest, girls.

0:50:22 > 0:50:25With the notable exception of Kindergarten Cop,

0:50:25 > 0:50:28Arnold Schwarzenegger's career has been one long movie mistake,

0:50:28 > 0:50:30culminating in the amusing boo-boo

0:50:30 > 0:50:35in which the people of California put him in charge of the world's eighth-largest economy.

0:50:35 > 0:50:36Twice.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38To minimise the errors in their films,

0:50:38 > 0:50:41the makers of Terminator came up with an ingenious idea -

0:50:41 > 0:50:47get Arnold to say and do as little as possible and, as you'll see, that didn't work.

0:50:50 > 0:50:51A numerical slip-up here.

0:50:51 > 0:50:54The Terminator looks up Sarah Connor's address

0:50:54 > 0:50:56in the phone book...

0:50:56 > 0:50:58It's a three- or four-digit number.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04He pulls up at her house and what does that say?

0:51:04 > 0:51:07Number 14239.

0:51:07 > 0:51:11My advice, find the location manager and terminate her.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14Her contract of employment, that is. I'm not advocating butchery.

0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Sarah Connor?- Yes.

0:51:21 > 0:51:22I was told not to say.

0:51:22 > 0:51:26I'd hate you to think I was obsessed with spelling and numeracy,

0:51:26 > 0:51:28even though I am, but here's another silly error.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30'You won't tell me what's going on?'

0:51:30 > 0:51:32Sarah Connor, in urgent need of a haircut.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34She thinks she's talking to her mum

0:51:34 > 0:51:39and she gives the number of the Tiki Motel as blah blah blah blah blah 1439.

0:51:39 > 0:51:40Have a listen.

0:51:40 > 0:51:45'408-555-1439. Room nine.'

0:51:45 > 0:51:47IN MOTHER'S VOICE: I love you too, sweetheart.

0:51:47 > 0:51:50Armed with this info, the Terminator hangs up

0:51:50 > 0:51:53and begins to dial the number with his powerful gloved fingers.

0:51:53 > 0:51:57But keep watching that keypad because what does he dial?

0:52:00 > 0:52:04Not 1439, but 1639.

0:52:06 > 0:52:09He won't get through with that!

0:52:09 > 0:52:10'Tiki Motel.'

0:52:10 > 0:52:11Oh, he does!

0:52:13 > 0:52:15You know when people have an accident,

0:52:15 > 0:52:19they stay rooted to the spot and the colour drains out of their cheeks?

0:52:22 > 0:52:24Well, this copper certainly does.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Could it have been a dummy(?)

0:52:35 > 0:52:36Hmm.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43Similar error on a larger scale.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49We're supposed to believe that Arnie is driving this truck. Yeah?

0:52:49 > 0:52:52Then why can we see a towrope there?

0:52:56 > 0:52:57On to Terminator 3, now.

0:52:57 > 0:53:00Look at the number of this plane.

0:53:00 > 0:53:03N3035C.

0:53:05 > 0:53:11Then, in mid-air, it seems to have changed to N3973F.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15Fast-forward to landing and, oh look,

0:53:15 > 0:53:19we're back to N3035C.

0:53:19 > 0:53:20I don't miss a thing, me.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24Apart from the friends I used to have before taking up spotting movie mistakes.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29The Terminator franchise asks us to swallow

0:53:29 > 0:53:32plenty of unlikely happenings.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35A robot that can take any shape it wants to? OK.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38A war in which both sides travel through time and space? Yeah, whatever.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41A Terminatrix making a mobile-phone call

0:53:41 > 0:53:43when she doesn't even have a signal?

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I don't think so.

0:53:48 > 0:53:53There are bars on the display, but they're for the battery.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57There's zero signal. That, my friends, is a movie mistake.

0:53:59 > 0:54:03This next section brings us more problems with the space-time continuum.

0:54:03 > 0:54:08It's packed full of anachronistic things that didn't exist at the time the films are supposed to be set.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12Take the film The Quick And The Dead, starring Sharon Stone, for example.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14The movie is set in 1840,

0:54:14 > 0:54:17even though that's three years before Sharon was even born.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20And there's more where that came from.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24In The Queen, Blair uses a Nokia 6210.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27This is silly, because that model wasn't sold

0:54:27 > 0:54:28until at least two years

0:54:28 > 0:54:30after the film was set.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33Excellent performance by Michael Sheen, of course.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36Although I am wary of his nose. It's very nostrilly.

0:54:39 > 0:54:40In this clip from Almost Famous,

0:54:40 > 0:54:45it's 1969 and William Miller is looking through some classic vinyl.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49And while I'm sure none of us like the way that he's stroking them,

0:54:49 > 0:54:51that's not my beef. This is.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Joni Mitchell's Blue.

0:54:53 > 0:54:56Not released for another two years.

0:54:56 > 0:54:59And I hate to say that, because I know he's only a kid,

0:54:59 > 0:55:02but, you know, there's no mercy in this dojo.

0:55:06 > 0:55:0917 Again and one for you rock fans.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12No, not the camp dancing on the basketball court

0:55:12 > 0:55:15but the fact that even though this scene is set in '89,

0:55:15 > 0:55:20this fella has a Paramore T-shirt on, a band that only formed in 2004.

0:55:20 > 0:55:24He's what our American chums would call a total douchebag.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32Sure, we all love to see American men dance. I'm not disputing that.

0:55:32 > 0:55:36But what I do have an issue with is this little glimpse

0:55:36 > 0:55:39of the NBC Tower in Dreamgirls.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41The scene is set in the '70s

0:55:41 > 0:55:45but the tower was not built until the late '80s.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48No amount of world-class dancing will ever change that.

0:55:54 > 0:56:00And finally, The Last King Of Scotland, a film about Idi Amin.

0:56:00 > 0:56:03Many of us think of Africa as being behind the times, but we're wrong.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09This scene is set in Uganda in the '70s,

0:56:09 > 0:56:11yet they already had flat-screen TVs.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14Amazing. Not least because at this point in time,

0:56:14 > 0:56:17us lot hadn't even come up with Betamax.
