Episode 5 Great Movie Mistakes

Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

This show blows a hole in the carefully constructed veneer of Hollywood perfection.

Our team of continuity experts, or geeks,

have locked themselves away in the archives to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.

So here are those mistakes, the ones that have made all that hard work very nearly worthwhile.

Tango and Cash, Dempsey and Makepeace,

Dalziel and Pascoe, Cagney and Lacey,

Turner and Hooch and Starsky and Hutch.

Yes, we love detective shows with two surnames in the title.

But you don't have to work in CID to have spotted the error in this movie.

See, when Starsky trips on the beach and his headphones fall off,

the batteries pop out onto the sand.

There.

But when he puts them back on, the music's still playing.

Stiller, you're a disgrace.

What do you love about...?

Almost Famous now and watch how Stillwater lead guitarist

Russell Hammond chucks the clothes from his chair onto the floor.

There.

But hang on, kiddo, they're back again. Nice tache, though.

Look at it, perched proudly on the top of Russell's lip.

Here, as the beautiful Penny Lane prepares to take a dump,

a shocked William Miller knocks his Post-its onto the floor.

But look - the Post-its are back again!

Get out of there, William, and shut the door behind you.

Last Chance Harvey now,

and Emma Thompson's book is about to turn into a scarf.

-Are you OK?

-Yes, I'm fine.

Then back into a book.

A sure sign that these two people will soon make love.

Here's an error from 2007 smash, I Am Legend.

Its main error, other than the fact that

they actually bothered to make it, is coming up right here.

Call this a taxi? You might.

I don't. The underside is quite clearly a flat painted surface.

The underside of taxis don't look like that,

as anyone who has been wedged underneath one while waiting for an ambulance will know full well.

Cairo, 1936.

As Indiana Jones sits around getting spannered - well, he is on holiday -

those in the background act as you would in 1930s Egypt,

walking like Egyptians and that,

while dressing in traditional costume.

Apart from this spoilsport in T-shirt and jeans, who ruins

the entire Indiana Jones franchise for every single one of us.

Even the monkey's disgusted.
