Welcome along to Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:240:00:27

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

0:00:270:00:32

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

0:00:320:00:36

in the archives to track down the best howlers on the silver screen.

0:00:360:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:47

Bad Boys II now, and as this jeep careers through a shanty town,

0:00:500:00:55

see how the wing mirrors get smashed.

0:00:550:00:57

But now they're miraculously fixed.

0:01:020:01:05

If only the same could be said for the homes of these poor shanty dwellers.

0:01:050:01:09

Fight Club now. Watch here as Meatloaf's trousers fall down. Oops!

0:01:120:01:17

That's worth another look.

0:01:170:01:19

Not only do they fall down,

0:01:220:01:24

but also reveal him to be wearing a fat suit.

0:01:240:01:26

The first rule of Fight Club - get Meat Loaf to buy a ruddy belt.

0:01:260:01:30

This is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

0:01:320:01:35

Something you can do in ten minutes

0:01:350:01:37

just by leaving him to browse in Dixons.

0:01:370:01:40

Oh, this is a good day.

0:01:400:01:41

-Guys...

-See how these three disturbed women openly ogle

0:01:410:01:45

Matthew McConaughey, like he's some kind of piece of meat.

0:01:450:01:49

Urgh.

0:01:490:01:51

Stripes.

0:01:510:01:52

And allow...

0:01:520:01:54

Just have to watch a bit of Matthew McConaughey acting.

0:01:540:01:57

I basically represent the entire industry.

0:01:570:01:59

Now the women walk back to their desks.

0:01:590:02:01

There's the one in the black top, there she is. Yep, she's gone.

0:02:010:02:05

And they magically reappear where they were. They just can't get enough, can they?

0:02:070:02:11

This is Confessions Of A Shopaholic,

0:02:140:02:16

which stars Isla Fisher and which I've genuinely never

0:02:160:02:19

-heard of before today.

-Absolutely.

0:02:190:02:22

Now, you know those middle-aged women with ponytails that disappear when you say the word "Miami"?

0:02:220:02:27

-In Miami?

-Oh, Luke. I think I should definitely be there.

0:02:270:02:31

Let's watch that again.

0:02:310:02:34

-(Biggest magazine event of the year.)

-In Miami?

0:02:340:02:37

-And the woman's gone.

-I think I should definitely be there.

0:02:370:02:40

I can only assume I must have said "Miami" to my girlfriend last year.

0:02:400:02:43

Oh, well.

0:02:430:02:45

The Mummy films starring Brendan Fraser are about the lost civilisation of Ancient Egypt,

0:02:470:02:53

although they existed around 3,000BC the Egyptians invented

0:02:530:02:56

astronomy, were the fathers of modern medicine and were able to design and build the pyramids.

0:02:560:03:01

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

0:03:010:03:07

Progress? More like penis!

0:03:070:03:10

Here is Brendan in the third instalment having a scrap

0:03:130:03:16

with people made out of pottery.

0:03:160:03:18

Weird. But not as weird as his magic gun.

0:03:180:03:22

Watch how it changes from a machine gun...to a pistol.

0:03:220:03:26

There!

0:03:260:03:28

Here is dreamboat Brendan again in The Mummy Returns.

0:03:300:03:32

And bear in mind that he's 6'4".

0:03:320:03:36

Wait until he comes face to face with this child.

0:03:360:03:39

Ah! Terrifying.

0:03:450:03:46

-That kid has to be six foot. I mean, he has to be.

-Alex?

0:03:460:03:52

What were you thinking? The Mummy had come back to life?

0:03:520:03:55

But when he stands up again, he's titchy.

0:03:550:03:58

And there's nothing he could have been standing on. What a boo-boo.

0:03:580:04:02

The Mummy returns again, and proof that film stars use stuntmen

0:04:040:04:07

and women for absolutely anything.

0:04:070:04:11

They're about to get slightly wet. Oh, dear!

0:04:110:04:13

And apparently that requires trained experts.

0:04:130:04:16

Even though they look nothing like Brendan or Rachel.

0:04:200:04:23

Big babies!

0:04:230:04:26

Here is a tip for anyone who wants to get rid of soap suds.

0:04:280:04:32

John Hannah will demonstrate.

0:04:320:04:34

Here he is, covered in suds. Thanks, John.

0:04:340:04:36

All you do is find a nearby window or pane of glass and hurl yourself through it, like so.

0:04:380:04:42

Cheers, John.

0:04:440:04:46

And bingo! No suds.

0:04:480:04:49

That really is simple.

0:04:490:04:52

Thanks again, John.

0:04:520:04:53

Another clanger from The Mummy Returns.

0:04:560:04:58

Here is the delectable Evie,

0:04:580:05:00

and it seems I'm not the only one who enjoys peeping at her.

0:05:000:05:03

There's someone else doing that in this scene.

0:05:030:05:06

Eagle-eyed viewers, that is, people with good eyesight or actual eagles,

0:05:060:05:10

might have spotted this. Did you see him?

0:05:100:05:13

Rewind.

0:05:130:05:14

Hoop-la! Hands off, pervert, she's mine!

0:05:180:05:21

Children have always been by some distance the dimmest idiots in society.

0:05:240:05:30

The littler ones can't even walk or talk.

0:05:300:05:33

And yet we put them in films and expect them not to make childish errors like these.

0:05:330:05:37

Who are the real fools, them or us?

0:05:370:05:41

It's them.

0:05:410:05:43

This is School Of Rock in which Jack Black plays Dewey Finn,

0:05:460:05:50

a loser who pretends to be a teacher.

0:05:500:05:52

You really do get swept along in Dewey's touching journey of self-discovery

0:05:520:05:56

and forget that it's just Jack Black acting.

0:05:560:05:58

That is, until the girl breaks the illusion by calling him Jack.

0:06:000:06:03

-Listen.

-Jack?

0:06:030:06:05

Love it. That's worth hearing again.

0:06:060:06:09

Ears at the ready.

0:06:090:06:11

Jack?

0:06:110:06:12

If you want to know what the Scottish town of Falkirk

0:06:170:06:20

looked like 800 years ago,

0:06:200:06:21

either watch this film, Braveheart, or just go there now.

0:06:210:06:25

What, you found that funny, did you?

0:06:270:06:30

Robert the Bruce is looking over a rotting corpse and two kids have lost their father

0:06:300:06:34

and you're laughing?

0:06:340:06:36

No? Well, she is.

0:06:410:06:43

Look, she's laughing at the death of her own dad.

0:06:430:06:47

Probably drunk.

0:06:470:06:49

For God's sake, man. There are women and children down here.

0:06:510:06:54

The sinking of the Titanic, heart-in-mouth stuff.

0:06:540:06:57

Get back.

0:06:570:06:59

As someone whose pedalo once capsized in a boating lake in Devon,

0:06:590:07:03

I can tell it must have been a truly terrifying ordeal.

0:07:030:07:05

But this cool customer doesn't think so.

0:07:050:07:08

While everyone else is panicking, he's looking right down the lens and not giving a tinker's cuss.

0:07:110:07:16

-Jack!

-Fabrizio!

0:07:160:07:19

Mmm, that ruined the film for me. That and everything else about it.

0:07:190:07:22

All-time classic North By Northwest now, in which

0:07:270:07:30

director Alfred Hitchcock proves that he's a master of suspense.

0:07:300:07:35

He always kept audiences guessing,

0:07:350:07:37

you never knew what was going to happen next.

0:07:370:07:40

Except here, where the boy putting his fingers in his ears

0:07:400:07:43

suggests there's probably going to be a loud bang.

0:07:430:07:46

GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

0:07:460:07:48

Sure enough, how good is that?

0:07:480:07:51
