Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:240:00:28

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

0:00:280:00:33

Our team of continuity experts, or geeks, have locked themselves away in the archives

0:00:330:00:38

to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.

0:00:380:00:41

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

0:00:410:00:47

First up, the haunting majesty of Mamma Mia.

0:00:500:00:53

In Lay All Your Love On Me, Sophie looks

0:00:530:00:56

to be wearing a very pretty swimsuit.

0:00:560:00:58

But in this shot, she's ruined the look

0:00:580:01:01

with a pair of black trousers. See?

0:01:010:01:04

I don't know what these guys are up to.

0:01:070:01:11

Remember, viable embryos.

0:01:130:01:15

We'll never know when dinosaurs became extinct,

0:01:150:01:19

but we can pinpoint the exact moment that this brown bag ceases to exist.

0:01:190:01:23

It just disappears.

0:01:230:01:26

Here's Nedry, greedily clutching it like it's a packet of biscuits.

0:01:260:01:30

But, hang on, in the blink of an eye, it's gone.

0:01:300:01:36

Maybe that's what happened to the dinosaurs -

0:01:360:01:38

they were just manhandled by a fat bloke and vanished. Who knows?

0:01:380:01:41

# Ramses is the one. He puts the people all on fire! #

0:01:440:01:47

Wrestling-based chuckleshow Nacho Libre next.

0:01:470:01:50

Watch Stephen being pulled into the hole by the fat lady,

0:01:500:01:54

see how she knocks down the plant pot,

0:01:540:01:57

but wait, there it is standing up again.

0:01:570:02:01

Stephen!

0:02:010:02:02

And, lo and behold, there it is fallen over again.

0:02:020:02:05

This is for marring an otherwise perfect take.

0:02:050:02:09

If you're down with the kids like me,

0:02:120:02:14

you will know that Zac Efron's the shizzle,

0:02:140:02:17

and here he is in 17 Again.

0:02:170:02:19

See that lectern?

0:02:210:02:25

OK, settle down, everybody, take your seats. Thank you.

0:02:250:02:28

Well, only moments later,

0:02:280:02:30

it's gone as Zac tries to forcefully make love to this guy.

0:02:300:02:33

At least get his consent, Zac!

0:02:330:02:36

Who likes watching films? Yeah!

0:02:380:02:41

Who likes reading books?

0:02:410:02:43

Boo! As we all know, reading books is rubbish.

0:02:430:02:47

So, three cheers for Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

0:02:470:02:51

He saved us all the bother by putting every last bit of the books

0:02:510:02:55

into three butt-numbingly long films.

0:02:550:02:57

He really didn't leave anything out.

0:02:570:02:59

Needless to say, the movies, which back-to-back are almost 7 billion hours long,

0:02:590:03:04

do contain the odd mistake.

0:03:040:03:06

Here, big-eared idiots Merry and Pippin

0:03:090:03:11

set off an enormous firework indoors

0:03:110:03:14

in the first film, Fellowship Of The Ring.

0:03:140:03:16

But setting off a firework indoors wasn't the biggest gaffe in this scene.

0:03:180:03:22

Notice that the tent is full of bread rolls, candles, barrels and all manner of things. But watch.

0:03:240:03:29

When the firework launches, taking the tent with it, you can see all of the things inside the tent,

0:03:290:03:34

with the exception of Merry and Pippin, have disappeared. See?

0:03:340:03:39

Now that's magic!

0:03:390:03:41

This is from the next film, The Two Towers. And more hobbit horrors.

0:03:440:03:48

Look at the hobbit on Gandalf's lap.

0:03:480:03:50

He's a fully-grown adult who happens to be short.

0:03:500:03:53

I believe they're called midgets.

0:03:530:03:55

But keep your eyes peeled.

0:03:570:03:59

Look, suddenly he's not a midget, it is a child.

0:03:590:04:03

Your helmet doesn't fool me, short stuff.

0:04:030:04:05

For Frodo.

0:04:070:04:09

Same in this one. The hobbits charge at the enemy.

0:04:090:04:12

It's always the little ones, isn't it? Watch them run.

0:04:120:04:15

They're children, clear as day.

0:04:150:04:17

Looks like they've spotted an ice-cream van.

0:04:210:04:24

Children are rubbish in battle - this could get messy.

0:04:240:04:28

Hollywood film-makers are often high school drop-outs. And it shows.

0:04:330:04:37

The names of the Batman sequels - Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman And Robin -

0:04:370:04:42

weren't chosen for sounding good, but because the director didn't know how to count to four.

0:04:420:04:47

Similarly, Tarantino's title, Inglourious Basterds,

0:04:470:04:50

was a genuine spelling mistake that Quentin now has to pretend was clever and intentional.

0:04:500:04:55

These people are imbeciles, or imbreciles as Tarantino would probably say.

0:04:550:05:00

Just check out these schoolboy errors.

0:05:000:05:02

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. First scene, and there's a mistake.

0:05:040:05:08

Look how they've spelt "lose".

0:05:080:05:11

What makes this especially galling is that the same word appears in the title of the film. Divs.

0:05:110:05:17

More problems with spelling now in Blades Of Glory.

0:05:200:05:24

The guy doing the talking is the commissioner.

0:05:240:05:26

Yet his name badge has "commissioner"

0:05:260:05:29

spelt with only one S.

0:05:290:05:30

Yet another movie brought to its knees by the power of words.

0:05:300:05:36

I'm going to pop you in the back of the head!

0:05:360:05:38

They said I was a valued customer. Now they send me hate mail.

0:05:400:05:44

The boffins behind Confessions Of A Shopaholic

0:05:440:05:47

are so clever, they've given us a number we didn't know existed.

0:05:470:05:51

How are you going to pay off 16,000,1262 dollars and 70 cents?

0:05:510:05:57

Er... 16,000,1200?

0:05:570:06:01

I like this clip so much, I've watched it 800,6000 times.

0:06:010:06:06

There again, we Brits are no better.

0:06:080:06:11

Look at the side of this bus - the word Cheltenham is missing an N.

0:06:110:06:15

And when people miss out Ns, it makes me very, very AGRY.

0:06:150:06:19

Thanks.

0:06:190:06:21

This clip is of John Nash winning a Nobel prize

0:06:270:06:29

in the film A Beautiful Mind.

0:06:290:06:31

But look, they can't even spell Nobel properly.

0:06:310:06:35

Oh, boy.

0:06:350:06:37

Not good, ladies and gentlemen. Not good.

0:06:370:06:40

As well as being highly entertaining,

0:06:450:06:47

this programme aims to be educational.

0:06:470:06:49

The Terminator now, and look as he scans this doorman.

0:06:490:06:54

The Terminator must have been programmed by an imbecile,

0:06:550:06:58

because look how he spells the word "briefs".

0:06:580:07:00

I before E, big guy.

0:07:000:07:03

Remember this simple rule and you won't go far wrong.

0:07:030:07:06

All right, the singing is nothing.

0:07:070:07:10

A way to keep my nerves down. It means nothing to me.

0:07:100:07:13

But it's not I before E if they follow a C.

0:07:130:07:16

Then it's the other way round.

0:07:160:07:18

Look how "receiving" is spelt in this clip from High School Musical.

0:07:180:07:22

I can't help thinking that if American school kids spent less time singing

0:07:220:07:26

and more time on basic literacy, there might be a lot less gun crime.
