Hello, I'm Robert Webb, and welcome to another Great Movie Mistakes.

0:00:270:00:31

In this show, we'll be reviewing the top movies released since the last Movie Mistakes

0:00:310:00:36

and pointing out the continuity disasters in each.

0:00:360:00:38

And by the way, to everyone who wrote in about The King's Speech,

0:00:380:00:42

he doesn't keep fluffing his lines.

0:00:420:00:45

Science fiction. So much more popular

0:00:470:00:49

than its boring older brother, science fact.

0:00:490:00:52

My favourite type of sci-fi used to be films set in dystopian futures,

0:00:520:00:56

which portrayed a world dominated by technology, totalitarian governments

0:00:560:01:00

and the collapse of society as we know it. But nowadays,

0:01:000:01:03

I can get exactly the same thing just by watching the news.

0:01:030:01:06

The baffling Inception now.

0:01:080:01:10

I think this film's about the new sport extreme sleeping,

0:01:100:01:13

where people have to sleep through anything.

0:01:130:01:17

Here, they listen to boring music to drift away.

0:01:170:01:21

Ah, yes, the falling off the bridge event - very tricky -

0:01:220:01:26

especially if your headphones have come off.

0:01:260:01:29

What's he going to do now?

0:01:290:01:31

Without Coldplay's greatest hits playing, he'll surely wake up.

0:01:310:01:34

Oh, phew, they're back on. And he's ready to be plunged into the river.

0:01:340:01:40

In this clip, we see Cillian Murphy get shot once in the chest.

0:01:420:01:46

But when they come to help him, there are two bullet wounds.

0:01:490:01:54

Well, as the saying goes, shoot me once, shame on you.

0:01:540:01:58

Shoot me twice, shame on the continuity guy.

0:01:580:02:01

Next up, Battle: Los Angeles, a film that focuses too much on the action

0:02:030:02:08

and not enough on the dialogue.

0:02:080:02:10

Here, the soldiers prefer to bark rather than talk.

0:02:100:02:14

-HE SLURS: Right, we're up.

-What's that, Lassie?

0:02:140:02:16

In this scene, the aliens are on the run and Aaron Eckhart

0:02:180:02:23

is trying to choose which gun goes best with his outfit.

0:02:230:02:25

Pistol? Yeah, pistol.

0:02:280:02:30

Or machine gun? No, pistol, got to be pistol.

0:02:320:02:36

Taut, exciting thrills from Source Code now.

0:02:400:02:44

And this is Jake Can't-Pronounce-His-Last-Name

0:02:440:02:47

swiping a wallet to check out a driver's licence.

0:02:470:02:50

-You have the bomber's name?

-Derek Frost.

0:02:520:02:55

Yes, that's the only thing he has,

0:02:550:02:57

because all the other details are completely different.

0:02:570:03:01

Look - address, date of birth, height. All of it!

0:03:010:03:06

Next up, the vile chiller Splice, and we see Adrian Brody doing...

0:03:090:03:14

-BELT RATTLES

-Well, yeah, never mind that.

0:03:140:03:17

Watch Sarah Polley. Look, she's left the door open.

0:03:170:03:21

But then she opens the already-open door.

0:03:220:03:26

Nearly as strange as what Brody was up to.

0:03:260:03:28

Take a look at the Splice girl's dress.

0:03:320:03:35

Because, hanging upside down, you would imagine

0:03:370:03:40

it would fall down around her shoulders.

0:03:400:03:43

Sporty AND Scary Splice!

0:03:460:03:49

Historical movies are a personal favourite of mine.

0:03:540:03:57

I often picture myself cast in a lavish version of a classic Jane Austen movie -

0:03:570:04:02

Mr Darcy in a drenched shirt, open to the waist,

0:04:020:04:04

climbing out of the water, whilst watching, in anticipation,

0:04:040:04:07

dressed in a gorgeous bodice, holding a parasol, there I am.

0:04:070:04:11

"Oh, Mr Darcy!" That's how I'd do it.

0:04:110:04:15

Oscar fodder with the classy remake of True Grit.

0:04:180:04:23

And times sure were tough in 19th-century Texas.

0:04:230:04:26

Unless, that is, you're the heroine Mattie Ross

0:04:260:04:29

and you have the amazing ability to go from soaking wet...

0:04:290:04:32

..to bone dry in ten seconds flat.

0:04:400:04:42

Consumer issues now, and here,

0:04:460:04:48

Jeff Bridges shows his disgust with the corn bread

0:04:480:04:50

in his bargain bucket

0:04:500:04:52

by spilling them out of the bag and shooting them.

0:04:520:04:55

Luckily, it's Colonel Sanders' disappearing corn -

0:04:550:04:58

it's nowhere to be seen.

0:04:580:04:59

Well, he won't have to waste any more precious bullets.

0:05:030:05:05

A ropey gaff now. See that chap hanging around in the branches?

0:05:090:05:13

One minute he's top of the tree, next he's swinging a lot lower.

0:05:130:05:18

How Jeff Bridges doesn't twig I'll never know.

0:05:180:05:21

Frivolous grave robbing japery with Burke and Hare,

0:05:250:05:28

and here's Simon Pegg chatting up her off of Home & Away.

0:05:280:05:31

-When will I be able to see you again, Jenny?

-At the Lyceum Theatre.

0:05:310:05:36

-Really? When?

-When we put...

0:05:360:05:38

Maybe in 55 years' time, when the Lyceum Theatre is actually built.

0:05:380:05:42

-Goodnight, William.

-That's certainly one way to ditch a guy.

0:05:420:05:45

Burke and Hare are chopping down a tree to stop a coach.

0:05:510:05:54

And who's inside? Urgh!

0:05:560:05:59

If I saw a coach with Michael Winner inside, I wouldn't want to stop it.

0:05:590:06:03

But they've only made a tiny dent at chest height.

0:06:030:06:06

Come on, put your back into it!

0:06:060:06:08

However, this being the crazy world of true life drama, the entire tree comes tumbling down.

0:06:080:06:14

Uh-oh. The winner takes a fall.

0:06:140:06:17

-Hmm, that table looks a little bare.

-Lovely.

0:06:260:06:29

I know what's missing - she forgot the flowers.

0:06:300:06:34

Oh, there they are.

0:06:340:06:35

Thank you.

0:06:350:06:36

Bit of an odd side dish, though.

0:06:360:06:38

Here's BAFTA-winning actor Tom Wilkinson

0:06:430:06:45

unveiling my nominees for the best actor in the movie Burke and Hare.

0:06:450:06:49

But which corpse wins? None of them!

0:06:510:06:54

The award goes to the incredible moving blanket.

0:06:540:06:58

First the corpses are uncovered -

0:06:580:07:01

quick round of applause -

0:07:010:07:04

then one of them is covered up again.

0:07:040:07:06

A bravura performance!

0:07:070:07:10

Solving a crime, sir.

0:07:160:07:17

The cream of British talent drops some home-grown blunders here.

0:07:170:07:21

-What on earth are you talking about?

-I'm talking about murder, sir.

0:07:210:07:24

There's Ronnie Corbett - not a mistake, he actually is that small.

0:07:240:07:27

I don't know what this absurd little man is trying to prove.

0:07:270:07:31

-Stephen Merchant plays goldfish bowl holder 4.

-I want him removed.

0:07:310:07:35

-It is you, sir!

-And now Tim Curry, co-starring with his teeth.

0:07:350:07:39

And if there is one...

0:07:390:07:41

But ignore them and watch his background. He steps forward.

0:07:410:07:45

But look, the background remains the same,

0:07:470:07:51

suggesting he didn't step forward at all.

0:07:510:07:54

We shall all have to pay the price.

0:07:540:07:56

And now Merchant's bowl has disappeared.

0:07:560:08:00

And to think he was chief bowl holder at the RSC. What an insult!

0:08:000:08:06

Rip-roaring Roman caper The Eagle now and this looks like

0:08:090:08:13

such an arduous journey it would give anyone a shock.

0:08:130:08:15

It certainly did to Jamie Bell's horse

0:08:170:08:21

who overnight changes colour from brown to white with no explanation.

0:08:210:08:25

The dark and brutal Killer Inside Me

0:08:270:08:29

starring Casey Affleck as a deputy sheriff-cum-homicidal maniac.

0:08:290:08:34

Ho-hum, you might think.

0:08:340:08:36

But I feel anguish and I'm sorry.

0:08:360:08:39

But look - all of a sudden, he's clutching a thick wooden plank!

0:08:390:08:43

Superb uncredited cameo from his brother Ben.

0:08:430:08:47

These days, the world of animation can produce miraculous characters

0:08:490:08:52

that are out of this world. But don't just believe me.

0:08:520:08:55

Why don't we ask my animated sidekick? It's Squigaloo Squirrel.

0:08:550:08:59

Hello there, Squigaloo!

0:09:000:09:02

Oh, Squigaloo, you do say the silliest things.

0:09:030:09:07

HE LAUGHS

0:09:070:09:09

No, you are, Squigaloo.

0:09:090:09:11

Now, introduce the next set of clips for the ladies and gentlemen,

0:09:110:09:15

featuring bloopers in animated movies.

0:09:150:09:18

Great. So we're going to put the squirrel on after, yeah?

0:09:210:09:24

Otherwise, that's just me talking to a brick.

0:09:240:09:27

I might look a ninny.

0:09:270:09:28

OK.

0:09:290:09:31

Well, I'll trust you this time.

0:09:310:09:33

Wild West fun now.

0:09:390:09:41

When Rango drops his bullets, we see him reloading them

0:09:420:09:45

on the right side of his gun.

0:09:450:09:49

-However, the chamber is hanging on the left side.

-Just a second.

0:09:490:09:54

Later on in the same scene, chameleons may be good at changing,

0:09:570:10:01

but some things shouldn't change.

0:10:010:10:03

Like here...

0:10:030:10:05

where the hawk is completely flattened to the ground...

0:10:050:10:09

..and now his feet poke up when they shouldn't be there.

0:10:120:10:15

More Rango, and this car crash has a traumatic effect

0:10:170:10:21

on the doll he shares a tank with.

0:10:210:10:24

Here she has a right arm.

0:10:240:10:25

But after this crash, it's now a left arm.

0:10:320:10:34

At the end of the day, I suppose it's just an "armless" bit of fun.

0:10:360:10:40

Some pig ignorance from the animators of Shrek.

0:10:440:10:48

Yes, he's back and he seems to be over the moon to be scaring everyone again.

0:10:480:10:52

Look how he scares those pigs.

0:10:530:10:56

He must have really scared them because as we zoom out,

0:10:560:10:59

they're nowhere to be seen.

0:10:590:11:01

Another Shrek mistake.

0:11:060:11:08

Yes, indeed, keep your eye on the letter F on the hanky

0:11:080:11:12

that Shrek picks up.

0:11:120:11:14

One minute it's there...

0:11:180:11:20

..then it's over there on completely the other side.

0:11:220:11:26

Get it right, for F's sake.

0:11:260:11:29

Disney's back on form now, even if the film-makers

0:11:310:11:33

get just as tangled as their characters in Tangled.

0:11:330:11:37

Flynn Ryder struggles onto his side as he's tied to the chair.

0:11:370:11:40

No can do.

0:11:400:11:41

However, next time he's pulled into shot, he's on his back again.

0:11:440:11:48

-Hairy stuff, I think you'll agree.

-A horse?

0:11:480:11:51

Zoology now, and here's the colourful Rio,

0:11:530:11:56

a film all about a macaw called Blu.

0:11:560:11:59

The perfect marshmallow-to-cocoa ratio.

0:12:000:12:03

But to macaws, cocoa is toxic.

0:12:030:12:06

Lucky this is an animation

0:12:060:12:08

or we really would've seen death by chocolate.

0:12:080:12:11

-Did it, boys.

-We did it!

0:12:140:12:16

It takes one animator an entire week to do just four seconds of footage.

0:12:160:12:20

But when they animate the flaps on this plane going down,

0:12:200:12:24

rather than up, which would've sent the plane careering to the ground,

0:12:240:12:28

you wonder whether that particular week was well spent.

0:12:280:12:31

Classy sequel Toy Story 3, where Barbie removes two screws

0:12:350:12:40

that hold Buzz Lightyear's back compartment.

0:12:400:12:42

..show you no mercy.

0:12:420:12:43

Why's it not working?

0:12:450:12:46

However, at no point do they re-screw the compartment closed.

0:12:460:12:50

It just stays shut for the rest of the movie.

0:12:500:12:52

IN SPANISH:

0:12:520:12:53

No wonder he's acting like he's got a screw loose.

0:12:530:12:56

Toy Story 3 begins with Mr Potato Head having only one eye

0:13:040:13:07

so that Andy can pretend he's wearing an eye patch.

0:13:070:13:11

But keep your eyes peeled on Mr Potato's eyes,

0:13:130:13:16

because when Andy's "mom" films him, he's suddenly regained it.

0:13:160:13:21

Peeled, you get it? Like peeling a potato?

0:13:210:13:24

Right, please yourselves.

0:13:240:13:26

That's all for tonight.

0:13:290:13:30

See you next time.
