0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:28 > 0:00:33This show blows a hole in the carefully-constructed veneer of Hollywood perfection.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38Our team of continuity experts, or geeks, have locked themselves away in the archives

0:00:38 > 0:00:41to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.

0:00:41 > 0:00:47So, here are those mistakes - the ones that have made all that hard work very nearly worthwhile.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53First up, the haunting majesty of Mamma Mia.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56In Lay All Your Love On Me, Sophie looks

0:00:56 > 0:00:58to be wearing a very pretty swimsuit.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01But in this shot, she's ruined the look

0:01:01 > 0:01:04with a pair of black trousers. See?

0:01:07 > 0:01:11I don't know what these guys are up to.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Remember, viable embryos.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19We'll never know when dinosaurs became extinct,

0:01:19 > 0:01:23but we can pinpoint the exact moment that this brown bag ceases to exist.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26It just disappears.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Here's Nedry, greedily clutching it like it's a packet of biscuits.

0:01:30 > 0:01:36But, hang on, in the blink of an eye, it's gone.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Maybe that's what happened to the dinosaurs -

0:01:38 > 0:01:41they were just manhandled by a fat bloke and vanished. Who knows?

0:01:44 > 0:01:47# Ramses is the one. He puts the people all on fire! #

0:01:47 > 0:01:50Wrestling-based chuckleshow Nacho Libre next.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Watch Stephen being pulled into the hole by the fat lady,

0:01:54 > 0:01:57see how she knocks down the plant pot,

0:01:57 > 0:02:01but wait, there it is standing up again.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Stephen!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05And, lo and behold, there it is fallen over again.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09This is for marring an otherwise perfect take.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14If you're down with the kids like me,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17you will know that Zac Efron's the shizzle,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and here he is in 17 Again.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25See that lectern?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, settle down, everybody, take your seats. Thank you.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Well, only moments later,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33it's gone as Zac tries to forcefully make love to this guy.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36At least get his consent, Zac!

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Who likes watching films? Yeah!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Who likes reading books?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Boo! As we all know, reading books is rubbish.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51So, three cheers for Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55He saved us all the bother by putting every last bit of the books

0:02:55 > 0:02:57into three butt-numbingly long films.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59He really didn't leave anything out.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Needless to say, the movies, which back-to-back are almost 7 billion hours long,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06do contain the odd mistake.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Here, big-eared idiots Merry and Pippin

0:03:11 > 0:03:14set off an enormous firework indoors

0:03:14 > 0:03:16in the first film, Fellowship Of The Ring.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22But setting off a firework indoors wasn't the biggest gaffe in this scene.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29Notice that the tent is full of bread rolls, candles, barrels and all manner of things. But watch.

0:03:29 > 0:03:34When the firework launches, taking the tent with it, you can see all of the things inside the tent,

0:03:34 > 0:03:39with the exception of Merry and Pippin, have disappeared. See?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Now that's magic!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48This is from the next film, The Two Towers. And more hobbit horrors.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Look at the hobbit on Gandalf's lap.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53He's a fully-grown adult who happens to be short.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I believe they're called midgets.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59But keep your eyes peeled.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Look, suddenly he's not a midget, it is a child.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Your helmet doesn't fool me, short stuff.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09For Frodo.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Same in this one. The hobbits charge at the enemy.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15It's always the little ones, isn't it? Watch them run.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17They're children, clear as day.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Looks like they've spotted an ice-cream van.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Children are rubbish in battle - this could get messy.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Hollywood film-makers are often high school drop-outs. And it shows.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42The names of the Batman sequels - Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman And Robin -

0:04:42 > 0:04:47weren't chosen for sounding good, but because the director didn't know how to count to four.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Similarly, Tarantino's title, Inglourious Basterds,

0:04:50 > 0:04:55was a genuine spelling mistake that Quentin now has to pretend was clever and intentional.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00These people are imbeciles, or imbreciles as Tarantino would probably say.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Just check out these schoolboy errors.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. First scene, and there's a mistake.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11Look how they've spelt "lose".

0:05:11 > 0:05:17What makes this especially galling is that the same word appears in the title of the film. Divs.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24More problems with spelling now in Blades Of Glory.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26The guy doing the talking is the commissioner.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yet his name badge has "commissioner"

0:05:29 > 0:05:30spelt with only one S.

0:05:30 > 0:05:36Yet another movie brought to its knees by the power of words.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm going to pop you in the back of the head!

0:05:40 > 0:05:44They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47The boffins behind Confessions Of A Shopaholic

0:05:47 > 0:05:51are so clever, they've given us a number we didn't know existed.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57How are you going to pay off 16,000,1262 dollars and 70 cents?

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Er... 16,000,1200?

0:06:01 > 0:06:06I like this clip so much, I've watched it 800,6000 times.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11There again, we Brits are no better.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Look at the side of this bus - the word Cheltenham is missing an N.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19And when people miss out Ns, it makes me very, very AGRY.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Thanks.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29This clip is of John Nash winning a Nobel prize

0:06:29 > 0:06:31in the film A Beautiful Mind.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35But look, they can't even spell Nobel properly.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, boy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Not good, ladies and gentlemen. Not good.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47As well as being highly entertaining,

0:06:47 > 0:06:49this programme aims to be educational.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54The Terminator now, and look as he scans this doorman.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58The Terminator must have been programmed by an imbecile,

0:06:58 > 0:07:00because look how he spells the word "briefs".

0:07:00 > 0:07:03I before E, big guy.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Remember this simple rule and you won't go far wrong.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10All right, the singing is nothing.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13A way to keep my nerves down. It means nothing to me.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16But it's not I before E if they follow a C.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Then it's the other way round.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Look how "receiving" is spelt in this clip from High School Musical.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26I can't help thinking that if American school kids spent less time singing

0:07:26 > 0:07:29and more time on basic literacy, there might be a lot less gun crime.
