0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:27 > 0:00:32This show blows a hole in the carefully constructed veneer of Hollywood perfection.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36Our team of continuity experts or geeks, have locked themselves away

0:00:36 > 0:00:40in the archives to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.

0:00:40 > 0:00:47So here are those mistakes - the ones that have made all that hard work very nearly worthwhile...

0:00:50 > 0:00:55Bad Boys II now, and as this jeep careers through a shanty town,

0:00:55 > 0:00:57see how the wing mirrors get smashed.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05But now they're miraculously fixed.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09If only the same could be said for the homes of these poor shanty dwellers.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17Fight Club now. Watch here as Meatloaf's trousers fall down. Oops!

0:01:17 > 0:01:19That's worth another look.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Not only do they fall down,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26but also reveal him to be wearing a fat suit.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30The first rule of Fight Club - get Meat Loaf to buy a ruddy belt.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35This is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Something you can do in ten minutes

0:01:37 > 0:01:40just by leaving him to browse in Dixons.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Oh, this is a good day.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Guys...- See how these three disturbed women openly ogle

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Matthew McConaughey, like he's some kind of piece of meat.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Urgh.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Stripes.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54And allow...

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Just have to watch a bit of Matthew McConaughey acting.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59I basically represent the entire industry.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Now the women walk back to their desks.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05There's the one in the black top, there she is. Yep, she's gone.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11And they magically reappear where they were. They just can't get enough, can they?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16This is Confessions Of A Shopaholic,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19which stars Isla Fisher and which I've genuinely never

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- heard of before today.- Absolutely.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27Now, you know those middle-aged women with ponytails that disappear when you say the word "Miami"?

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- In Miami?- Oh, Luke. I think I should definitely be there.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Let's watch that again.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- (Biggest magazine event of the year.)- In Miami?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- And the woman's gone. - I think I should definitely be there.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43I can only assume I must have said "Miami" to my girlfriend last year.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, well.

0:02:47 > 0:02:53The Mummy films starring Brendan Fraser are about the lost civilisation of Ancient Egypt,

0:02:53 > 0:02:56although they existed around 3,000BC the Egyptians invented

0:02:56 > 0:03:01astronomy, were the fathers of modern medicine and were able to design and build the pyramids.

0:03:01 > 0:03:07Fast-forward 5,000 years, and we can't even make a two-hour movie that isn't jam-packed with cock-ups.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Progress? More like penis!

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Here is Brendan in the third instalment having a scrap

0:03:16 > 0:03:18with people made out of pottery.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Weird. But not as weird as his magic gun.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Watch how it changes from a machine gun...to a pistol.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28There!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Here is dreamboat Brendan again in The Mummy Returns.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36And bear in mind that he's 6'4".

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Wait until he comes face to face with this child.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Ah! Terrifying.

0:03:46 > 0:03:52- That kid has to be six foot. I mean, he has to be.- Alex?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55What were you thinking? The Mummy had come back to life?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58But when he stands up again, he's titchy.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02And there's nothing he could have been standing on. What a boo-boo.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07The Mummy returns again, and proof that film stars use stuntmen

0:04:07 > 0:04:11and women for absolutely anything.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13They're about to get slightly wet. Oh, dear!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16And apparently that requires trained experts.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Even though they look nothing like Brendan or Rachel.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Big babies!

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Here is a tip for anyone who wants to get rid of soap suds.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34John Hannah will demonstrate.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Here he is, covered in suds. Thanks, John.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42All you do is find a nearby window or pane of glass and hurl yourself through it, like so.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Cheers, John.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49And bingo! No suds.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52That really is simple.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53Thanks again, John.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Another clanger from The Mummy Returns.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Here is the delectable Evie,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03and it seems I'm not the only one who enjoys peeping at her.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06There's someone else doing that in this scene.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Eagle-eyed viewers, that is, people with good eyesight or actual eagles,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13might have spotted this. Did you see him?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Rewind.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Hoop-la! Hands off, pervert, she's mine!

0:05:24 > 0:05:30Children have always been by some distance the dimmest idiots in society.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33The littler ones can't even walk or talk.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37And yet we put them in films and expect them not to make childish errors like these.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Who are the real fools, them or us?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43It's them.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50This is School Of Rock in which Jack Black plays Dewey Finn,

0:05:50 > 0:05:52a loser who pretends to be a teacher.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56You really do get swept along in Dewey's touching journey of self-discovery

0:05:56 > 0:05:58and forget that it's just Jack Black acting.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03That is, until the girl breaks the illusion by calling him Jack.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Listen.- Jack?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Love it. That's worth hearing again.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Ears at the ready.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Jack?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20If you want to know what the Scottish town of Falkirk

0:06:20 > 0:06:21looked like 800 years ago,

0:06:21 > 0:06:25either watch this film, Braveheart, or just go there now.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30What, you found that funny, did you?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Robert the Bruce is looking over a rotting corpse and two kids have lost their father

0:06:34 > 0:06:36and you're laughing?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43No? Well, she is.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47Look, she's laughing at the death of her own dad.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Probably drunk.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54For God's sake, man. There are women and children down here.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57The sinking of the Titanic, heart-in-mouth stuff.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Get back.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03As someone whose pedalo once capsized in a boating lake in Devon,

0:07:03 > 0:07:05I can tell it must have been a truly terrifying ordeal.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08But this cool customer doesn't think so.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16While everyone else is panicking, he's looking right down the lens and not giving a tinker's cuss.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Jack!- Fabrizio!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Mmm, that ruined the film for me. That and everything else about it.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30All-time classic North By Northwest now, in which

0:07:30 > 0:07:35director Alfred Hitchcock proves that he's a master of suspense.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37He always kept audiences guessing,

0:07:37 > 0:07:40you never knew what was going to happen next.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Except here, where the boy putting his fingers in his ears

0:07:43 > 0:07:46suggests there's probably going to be a loud bang.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Sure enough, how good is that?
