Hello, and welcome to Great Movie Mistakes 2,

0:00:230:00:28

even more goofs, gaffes, mess-ups and blunders

0:00:280:00:30

that Hollywood's brightest thought we wouldn't notice.

0:00:300:00:33

Wrong!

0:00:330:00:34

Guess they weren't counting on our crack team of... noticers!

0:00:340:00:38

They've pored over literally hours of film footage

0:00:380:00:42

to compile another classic collection of cinematic clunkers.

0:00:420:00:46

On tonight's show -

0:00:460:00:48

Moulin Rouge, The Hangover,

0:00:480:00:50

Pearl Harbor, Transformers,

0:00:500:00:53

and The Silence Of The Lambs.

0:00:530:00:54

Next, we come to another classic movie mistake - crew in shot.

0:00:540:00:58

I once saw a classic example of crew in shot.

0:00:580:01:01

That's because the film was shot in the Cheshire town of Crewe.

0:01:010:01:05

Seriously! I'm talking about when the film crew end up on screen,

0:01:050:01:09

which is ridiculous, because they're not as important as us actors.

0:01:090:01:14

OK, OK, I'm sorry, they're just as important.

0:01:140:01:18

No, they're not. Roll VT.

0:01:180:01:20

Here's Cuba Gooding Jnr wondering what he's done to deserve a role

0:01:220:01:26

in cinematic turkey Pearl Harbor.

0:01:260:01:28

But keep your eyes on the left of the screen.

0:01:280:01:31

That's no navy crewman, that's a film crewman with a remote control for the camera.

0:01:310:01:35

Martin Scorsese's masterpiece Taxi Driver, and it appears that

0:01:430:01:46

Travis Bickle has noticed something out of his window.

0:01:460:01:49

Maybe it's someone looking at him. He really hates people looking at him.

0:01:490:01:53

Hang on, who was that?

0:01:550:01:57

Let's see that again.

0:01:570:02:00

It's the reflection of the cameraman and the guy pushing the dolly.

0:02:000:02:04

They really were looking at him.

0:02:040:02:06

They say that great art holds a mirror up to life.

0:02:090:02:12

-Hey, where do you want this?

-Uh, in the bedroom.

0:02:120:02:15

But in the movie Ghost, they're holding a mirror to the film crew.

0:02:150:02:18

There they are.

0:02:180:02:20

OK, we'll let them off that one mistake.

0:02:200:02:22

-Hang on, there's a lighting stand in the shot, too.

-Like it, huh?

0:02:220:02:26

Like? "Like" is hardly the word.

0:02:260:02:28

Oh, well, they're only human.

0:02:280:02:30

Apart from the ghost. He's a ghost.

0:02:300:02:32

Here's Surrogates.

0:02:360:02:38

In this film, everyone has a robotic copy of themselves.

0:02:380:02:41

So don't worry, all these people falling over are just robots.

0:02:410:02:45

All robots.

0:02:450:02:47

Apart from the film crew standing round the corner.

0:02:470:02:50

They're not robots. They're idiots.

0:02:500:02:53

Alfred Hitchcock used to have cameos in his films,

0:02:570:03:00

so it's no surprise that Spielberg wanted to do the same.

0:03:000:03:04

Actually, he didn't want to -

0:03:040:03:05

he just stood right in front of the shiny, reflective phone booth.

0:03:050:03:10

Hi, Steve!

0:03:100:03:12

Now Ridley Scott's film American Gangster.

0:03:140:03:17

Ridley is famed for his hard work, so you can forgive him

0:03:170:03:20

putting his feet up and watching a bit of telly.

0:03:200:03:23

There he is.

0:03:230:03:24

And God bless...

0:03:280:03:30

This is the Triple Rock Baptist Church

0:03:300:03:32

from the film The Blues Brothers, but even the frantic dancing

0:03:320:03:35

can't distract you from a crew member blatantly running through the back of shot.

0:03:350:03:40

Not so much Blues Brothers as "Where's the nearest loos, brothers?"

0:03:400:03:44

I just thought of that myself.

0:03:440:03:45

-# So exciting, the audience will... #

-Baz Luhrmann captured the look,

0:03:480:03:52

the feel and the spirit of a 1900s Parisian cabaret in Moulin Rouge.

0:03:520:03:57

He also managed to capture a stage hand wearing

0:04:000:04:02

a baseball cap and wristwatch swinging this actor back and forth.

0:04:020:04:07

Hey, Mum, I told you I'd make it in showbiz!

0:04:070:04:10

Finally, it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

0:04:120:04:14

You know, they're always telling you what to do, what not to do,

0:04:140:04:17

and it's not conducive to a creative atmosphere.

0:04:170:04:19

The great thing about a remake

0:04:190:04:21

is that you can use technological advances to eliminate all mistakes.

0:04:210:04:25

Or you can just lob some whopping great glasses on Johnny Depp

0:04:250:04:28

and see a camera in the reflection. Either's good.

0:04:280:04:31

If you don't believe me, ask.

0:04:310:04:33

Let's look now at continuity errors, those tiny little mistakes

0:04:350:04:39

that film-makers fail to spot,

0:04:390:04:41

so there are small changes in scenery or props,

0:04:410:04:44

costume or even hair that make the scene almost unwatchable.

0:04:440:04:48

All right, you get the idea.

0:04:480:04:49

Two hours it's taken us to film this 30-second link. Two hours!

0:04:490:04:53

I hope you're happy.

0:04:530:04:54

It's wrinkle-fest Wild Hogs.

0:04:590:05:01

That's going to stain. Ha!

0:05:010:05:03

The tough guy at the back

0:05:030:05:05

has mustard all over his forehead, nose and cheek.

0:05:050:05:09

Spicy!

0:05:090:05:10

But in the next shot, his face is practically clean.

0:05:120:05:16

When the director saw this, he was furious, according to my sauces.

0:05:160:05:19

Ha-ha! Sauces!

0:05:190:05:22

Shallow Hal now, and a scene-stealing performance

0:05:240:05:27

from Jack Black's towel.

0:05:270:05:28

She's got cankles, for God's sake!

0:05:280:05:30

-First it's in his hand.

-What?

0:05:300:05:32

Cankles! She's got no ankles. It's like the calf merged with the foot.

0:05:320:05:36

Now it's on his neck.

0:05:360:05:37

-I know what cankles are! Rosemary doesn't have them.

-Now it's gone.

0:05:370:05:42

I know what you're doing here.

0:05:420:05:44

-You're scared.

-'Scared of getting upstaged by a towel.'

-Yep.

0:05:440:05:48

If I belonged to a group known as the Losers,

0:05:500:05:54

I'd probably not play cards.

0:05:540:05:56

But keep your eyes on the guy with glasses.

0:05:560:06:00

-'His card pictures a woman lying down.'

-What?

0:06:000:06:02

All right. Let's go.

0:06:020:06:05

-'Standing up.'

-I will raise you.

0:06:050:06:09

-You don't want to do that.

-Oh, no?

0:06:090:06:11

-Piece you got off that Honduran general.

-'Lying down again.'

0:06:110:06:14

-'Who's the loser now, Losers?'

-Definitely in.

0:06:140:06:16

-Come now, Stu. You can feel it.

-'Phone Booth.'

0:06:180:06:22

Gritty thriller.

0:06:220:06:23

Colin Farrell on a worn and tattered phone.

0:06:230:06:27

Anyway, he spends the whole film nattering away.

0:06:270:06:29

And by the end,

0:06:290:06:32

the sticker is brand-new again. Phone booth or TARDIS?

0:06:320:06:36

It's the killers that get the cover of Time magazine. Right?

0:06:360:06:39

TARDIS, I reckon, because at the start of the movie,

0:06:410:06:44

he takes his wedding ring off.

0:06:440:06:45

That old trick, eh, Colin?

0:06:450:06:49

A bit later, it's still off...

0:06:490:06:52

Look, it's our friends from Channels 2 and 5, your local news, Stu.

0:06:520:06:56

You could never do this for any of your clients.

0:06:560:06:58

..and then magically pops back on his finger again. Make your mind up, man.

0:06:580:07:02

Stick your head out a little so they get a better angle.

0:07:020:07:05

Ah, we've all been in this position before.

0:07:070:07:09

Hey! Hey there!

0:07:090:07:12

What are you doing there? Oh, no, no, no, no, wait, it's OK.

0:07:120:07:15

Stranger danger! Stranger danger!

0:07:150:07:17

But watch the toilet roll as it comes out of the bin.

0:07:170:07:20

In this shot, it's clean.

0:07:200:07:24

And now it's covered in debris.

0:07:240:07:25

Toilet roll - clean one minute, filthy the next. Nothing new there.

0:07:250:07:30

An audition scene in Bruno now, but it's the cowboy hat

0:07:340:07:37

-'on the back of the door that's making all the right moves.'

-Hello.

0:07:370:07:41

I'm looking for my vife!

0:07:410:07:43

-Shaddap, women.

-'It's moved.'

0:07:450:07:47

-Fine.

-I couldn't hear your woice...

-'And it's moved again.'

0:07:470:07:51

..or laugh about it vith you.

0:07:510:07:54

'Should call it Bor-hat. Hur!'

0:07:540:07:56

Here we see Will Smith literally in The Pursuit of Happyness.

0:07:590:08:04

-Don't move. Don't move!

-Doesn't he realise it's an unachievable goal?

0:08:040:08:08

When he says, "Don't move," he's talking

0:08:080:08:11

to the green sticker on the side of the train.

0:08:110:08:13

See it? Maybe that's the key to happiness.

0:08:130:08:17

-'Oh, unlucky, Will, it's gone.'

-Stop the train!

0:08:170:08:20

I have always find it easy to tell my left from my right

0:08:220:08:26

using the simple system of not being an idiot.

0:08:260:08:29

But moviemakers seem to mix them up all the time.

0:08:290:08:31

It's not just stupid, it is dangerous, too.

0:08:310:08:34

I found this out the hard way

0:08:340:08:36

during a particularly aggressive round of the hokey-cokey,

0:08:360:08:39

when I put my left foot in... to the face of my 10-year-old niece.

0:08:390:08:43

I cross my heart,

0:08:430:08:45

you'll never catch me making that sort of mistake again.

0:08:450:08:48

Holly. Holly.

0:08:490:08:52

-Holly.

-Yes, Holly.

0:08:540:08:57

'First up, we have Land Of The Lost,

0:08:570:09:00

'a comedy about a little hairy man who touches people inappropriately.

0:09:000:09:04

'Anyway, watch the hand, not the boob.

0:09:040:09:07

'Left hand on Anna Friel,

0:09:080:09:11

'and now it's suddenly the right hand. Clever monkey!'

0:09:110:09:15

Wi-il. Will.

0:09:150:09:19

'Val Kilmer now,

0:09:210:09:22

'an actor so mesmerising he makes you forget which side is which.'

0:09:220:09:26

-Harry, you're not listening to me. Harry!

-What?

0:09:260:09:31

'Left hand on Robert Downey's mouth, now it's the right.

0:09:310:09:33

'That's some seriously powerful acting!'

0:09:330:09:36

Next up, it's horror classic Silence Of The Lambs,

0:09:400:09:43

and take a look at this door.

0:09:430:09:45

The handle's on the right, right?

0:09:450:09:48

This film makes everything unsettling,

0:09:520:09:54

even changing what side the door opens on.

0:09:540:09:57

Oh, creepy! Ooh!

0:09:590:10:02

'The Hangover. We've all been there.

0:10:060:10:09

'A big, crazy night out. You don't know what you're doing.

0:10:090:10:13

'You hold something in your right hand

0:10:150:10:18

'and suddenly it's in your left!

0:10:180:10:20

Wooh, yeah. We're...American!

0:10:220:10:25

Here's everyone's second favourite magical babysitter, Nanny McPhee.

0:10:270:10:32

Look, she's making statues come to life.

0:10:320:10:36

Not as impressive, though, as making the sidecar

0:10:360:10:40

go from the left of the bike, to the right.

0:10:400:10:43

See? Even the lion's disgusted at this movie mistake.

0:10:430:10:46

Sean Penn, now, in this Oscar winning performance as Harvey Milk.

0:10:480:10:53

A powder blue pen to sign the city's first gay-rights law.

0:10:530:10:58

But don't watch that pen. Watch this one.

0:10:580:11:00

The suity bloke holds it in his left hand.

0:11:000:11:05

But he signs with his right hand.

0:11:050:11:08

Right old load of old nonsense, more like!

0:11:080:11:11

Here are the two stars of Fired Up, I can't recall their names,

0:11:130:11:16

presumably running away from a massive horde of fans.

0:11:160:11:21

When they jump over the wall, blondie is on the right,

0:11:210:11:25

but in the water, they switch places and he's now on the left.

0:11:250:11:28

Echoing my thoughts, when I watched Fired Up,

0:11:280:11:31

I wanted to swap places with someone not watching Fired Up!

0:11:310:11:35

-Hey, I'm Nick.

-Sean. Can we use your pool?

0:11:360:11:41

Finally, a clip from the movie Very Bad Things starring Cameron Diaz.

0:11:410:11:45

Cameron's no stranger to very bad things herself.

0:11:450:11:49

In this scene, she's just read the script for Charlie's Angels 2,

0:11:490:11:54

but keep an eye on the spray and the brush.

0:11:540:11:57

As they fade from a crane shot to a helicopter shot,

0:11:570:11:59

they suddenly switched.

0:11:590:12:02

Well done, Cameron. You've been upstaged by cleaning products.

0:12:020:12:05

Transformers, a series of films in which a variety of motor vehicles

0:12:070:12:12

turn into a variety of robots.

0:12:120:12:15

I'd love a car that turns into a robot.

0:12:150:12:17

The only thing my car's ever turned into is my drive.

0:12:170:12:19

I don't really have a drive.

0:12:190:12:21

The films were directed by Michael Bay,

0:12:210:12:24

a man who loves action so much, even his diarrhoea is explosive.

0:12:240:12:27

And of course, they star Shia LaBoeuf,

0:12:270:12:29

a man who is no stranger to mistakes

0:12:290:12:31

after his parents chose to call him Shia LaBoeuf.

0:12:310:12:34

Translated into English, his name means,

0:12:340:12:37

"Look at these terrible movie mistakes, LaBoeuf."

0:12:370:12:40

Michaela, do not touch it. OK?

0:12:400:12:42

'All kinds of things transform in these films.

0:12:420:12:45

'Such as the empty space on the floor.

0:12:450:12:47

You're hot, but you ain't too bright.

0:12:500:12:53

Suddenly, here's some cigar boxes

0:12:530:12:56

and a couple of mousetraps.

0:12:560:12:58

Clever, yeah? No, it's awful!

0:12:590:13:01

What are you looking at, slobberpuss?

0:13:010:13:04

Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29 degrees North, 35 E.

0:13:060:13:11

Here's Shia LaBoeuf, speeding through the Egyptian desert.

0:13:120:13:16

Don't let the Pyramids distract you,

0:13:160:13:19

because that's the shadow of the camera van, driving alongside.

0:13:190:13:22

Rule one when talking to a huge angry robot,

0:13:290:13:32

concentrate on what he's saying.

0:13:320:13:35

-Come here, boy...

-'And don't move around.'

0:13:350:13:37

First Shia's at the top of the stairs

0:13:370:13:40

now he's halfway down.

0:13:410:13:44

He's jumped from here to here.

0:13:440:13:47

And he's moved again from here, to here.

0:13:490:13:54

That'll teach him(!)

0:13:560:13:57

Watch out for Shia's hoodie in this scene.

0:14:010:14:03

One moment it's off,

0:14:030:14:05

and now it's on.

0:14:080:14:10

I have a record because I wouldn't turn my dad in.

0:14:100:14:14

When have you sacrificed anything in your perfect little life?

0:14:140:14:17

'Still on, tense moment.'

0:14:170:14:19

Big guys with big guns.

0:14:190:14:22

'Now it's half off.'

0:14:220:14:23

A clip that features self-removing clothes

0:14:230:14:26

and none of them on Megan Fox. Unbelievable.

0:14:260:14:30

Here we see are heroes getting hot and bothered in the desert.

0:14:340:14:38

Shia's trying to cool off, waving his jacket around like a madman.

0:14:380:14:42

And suddenly it's gone. Shame! It was 30 quid from Topman.

0:14:480:14:52

But don't fret, jacket fans, next scene it's back in his hands.

0:14:540:14:57

They should really jacket-in!

0:14:570:15:00

Here's a gripping action scene from director Michael Bay.

0:15:020:15:05

The wheels on the bus don't so much go round and round

0:15:050:15:08

as explode in a fiery ball of metal and flesh. I say flesh...

0:15:080:15:13

Looking at the clip again, we see the bus doesn't have passnegers

0:15:130:15:17

or even seats. Just a dummy driver.

0:15:170:15:20

It's as empty as a local cinema showing a Shia LaBoeuf-athon.

0:15:200:15:24

Obviously, actors don't do all their own acting themselves.

0:15:260:15:29

Sometimes they're replaced with a body double or a dummy.

0:15:290:15:32

It's ridiculous. You can't replace talent with a dummy.

0:15:320:15:35

Isn't that right, David Mitchell?

0:15:350:15:37

(MURMURS) That's right, although I should say,

0:15:370:15:40

you were always the talented one.

0:15:400:15:42

See! I never use a body double.

0:15:420:15:44

Why would I? When I've got a body like this?

0:15:440:15:47

You're going to put in a six-pack in post, yeah? Cheers.

0:15:480:15:53

First up, it's '80s classic Fatal Attraction.

0:15:550:15:57

Here's Michael Douglas having a bit of rough-and-tumble

with original bunny boiler Glenn close.

0:16:000:16:03

Ooh, wait. That's not Michael Douglas.

0:16:040:16:07

Let's have another look at him. Wait for it.

0:16:140:16:17

Hang on, is that Jerry Seinfeld?

0:16:170:16:20

Well, it looks more like him than Michael Douglas.

0:16:200:16:23

Work's probably dried up since the sitcom finished.

0:16:230:16:26

Don't turn that engine on, I swear to God.

0:16:280:16:31

This scene, from Role Models, features a small boy stealing a car.

0:16:310:16:35

If there's anything funnier than children

0:16:350:16:38

recklessly endangering their own lives,

0:16:380:16:40

I don't know what it is.

0:16:400:16:42

But don't worry, the actual driving

0:16:420:16:44

is being done by a much taller, fully road legal stuntman.

0:16:440:16:47

Kids, eh? They grow up so fast!

0:16:470:16:49

No, it's not Dancing On Ice, it's edgy thriller Ronin.

0:16:580:17:02

I've always thought ice skating was a popular sport,

0:17:020:17:05

but apparently not.

0:17:050:17:07

Look. They've had to fill out the audience with cardboard cutouts.

0:17:070:17:13

There we are. That's it, mate, take a closer look.

0:17:130:17:16

Jefferson once shot a man on the White House lawn for treason.

0:17:180:17:21

Speaking of two-dimensional cardboard characters,

0:17:210:17:24

here's John Travolta up to his old tricks in the movie swordfish.

0:17:240:17:28

Shooting guys and blowing up people.

0:17:300:17:32

Ooh, but that's not a people. It's another dodgy lookalike dummy.

0:17:360:17:39

Those guys should really avoid cars altogether.

0:17:390:17:42

The Blues Brothers - all singing, all dancing,

0:17:470:17:49

and all couldn't be bothered to turn up for the crowd scene.

0:17:490:17:53

Those are actually two mannequins at the back. Typical!

0:17:550:17:59

Saline solution...

0:18:010:18:02

Most people's legs would turn to jelly

0:18:020:18:06

if they were about to be tortured by Gerard Butler.

0:18:060:18:09

But this guy's left foot has turned to rubber.

0:18:090:18:12

Comfortable?

0:18:120:18:14

Because it's fake. Boing!

0:18:140:18:18

That's all we've got. Remember, as long as there are movie mistakes,

0:18:230:18:26

there will be geeks to laugh at them. Goodnight.
