Wow it seems like EVERY MOVIE MADE has @ least 1 mistake.... ARE PPL THAT STUPID??
It just doesnt make any sense...... Does anyone know of ANY MOVIES with no GOOFS at all??
Very interesting thought. Usually even in the most well made films you will at least find errors in continuity. Like a clock jumping ahead, change in daylight or similar event that does not add up to the keen observer. Some goofs are infamous, Like the chariot scene in Gladiator (engine visible.) Also the Stormtropper bumping his head in Star Wars.
Also camera crews reflected in windows or other surfaces seem to be popular also.
Yea the guy bumping his head is def a mistake but lack of sound when he does IS NOT!!!! (They didnt feel the need for anyone to hear him grunting when he hit (He didnt mean to bump into it))
I've seen some "goofs" listed on Imdb that aren't goofs directly or that aren't goofs in a certain point of view. For example, let's take the difference of the year in the future between "Planet of the Apes" and "Beneath POTA". That has been accepted as a terrible movie goof but personally, I am willing to let it go. Why?
Because both ships were malfunctioning. Astronaut Landon in the first flick said, "We weren't programmed to land in the water." and Brent's ship in the second flick did, after all, CRASH. If these systems weren't working on the ships, then what is to say that other systems were?
Let's, however, talk about other goofs, such as the obvious double for 007 in the Caviar/pipe line chase in "The World is Not Enough". How many times does one have to see the movie before it becomes noticeable? Does the error made by the movie makers exist unnoticed long enough for them to make their bucks? One has to remember that movies are not made to be watched where they can be paused and "rewound" on the first viewing. Finally, will there be enough story, enough action in the scenes around the error that the viewer's mind does not have time to process that they have seen an error?
Or how many eyes in the audience will catch the error? For example, who would catch it dirt quick that the recovery ship in "Apollo 13" was temporally out of place? Or perhaps they were hoping that there would be enough eyes in the audience to accept what they did such as using F-100's for MiG-19's in "Skyjacked"?
Finally, one has to appreciate that in making a movie, TIME IS MONEY. If they don't get done by a certain time, the studio will send someone in who will finish the flick for them.....somehow.
Make the movie, get it done, and move on to the next flick.
In most cases, if no notice the mistakes, you're not paying attention to the movie.
I think it's no accident that people started collecting all these bloopers after the invention of home viewing, so you suddenly had people who obsessively re-watch.
Why don't you make one and show us all how it's done?
It is possible in the form of a documentary film. Unless facts were wrong there really cant be many goofs as it's non-fiction. Perhaps........ a documentary film about making a film with no mistakes maybe?
