    Serious movie mistakes

    They really annoy me:
    Here's a few I picked up on..

    1) Blade 1.
    Frost needs the blood of blade to fall of the 12 pure blood vampires.
    How does this work when the bitch female side kick (with the blonde hair and annoying voice) throws Blades sword through him, killing him, just before the Ceromony?

    2) Terminator 1+2+3.
    We're told that the reason tat Skynet doesn't send a bomb, or any weapons through the portals is because metal cannot travel through.... what the hell is the T1000, or Arnie for that matter????
    Why not get a gun and put a little flesh over it?

    3) Equilibrium.
    In the Last scene the Grammaton Cleric has a Gun Fight with his arch enemy.
    His Enemy falls backwards slightly and is caught off guard, then shot.
    Problem is, when stumbling backwards you can blatently see a gun in his hand, when the camera faces him there is no gun.

    4) The Matrix 1.
    When Agent Smith is interviewing Neo, he stops Neo from speaking. In frightened anguish Neo jumps back into the corner of the room, but if you look at the reflection in Smiths glasses, Neo is still sitting down!

    Anyone else spotted any?
    (MI2. All of it.)

    4) gotta rewatch it now just to check that out!

    Terminator films - only 1 thing can be sent back at any one time. You cant send a 1000 bombs back for example.

    Movies where they slice off bits of people, but they dont fall apart until later: Underworld and Equilibrium. The blades are paper thin or laser (like Resident Evil) so the force of pushing a blade through someone that is "thick" will not recreate the vacuum behind it and keep that person stuck together. Especially in equilibrium where his face would have dropped off quicker cause of gravity (this isnt a cartoon - gravity affects things at the speed of light, not after a few seconds), and in underworld where it was about half a minute before the bloke fell apart and she was using a pretty hefty broadsword iirc
    I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!

    The blood god doesn't kill all humans, it makes them vampires

    just as pointless though tbh

    LOTR Two Towers:
    1) When Legolas rides into Helm's Deep, one of the Orcs passes straight through his horse.... magic?!
    2) When Gandalf mounts his horse for the first time, you can see a rope around its neck.
    3) When Gollum argues with himself, there is a red light going off in the background
    4) Legolas offers the Warg a quick death for information. You can see his teeth through a wound on his cheek, but they don't move when he speaks.

    ...and before you say it... it wasn't me who noticed!!!


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    ...but there is one I did notice....
    In "When Harry Met Sally" (i'm sure it was that... it's a long time since I saw it), they are playing a Pictionary type game on an easel and every time the camera goes back to the partly drawn picture on the board it has been re-drawn and looks completely different! Doh!

    OK The blade one seems to have confused people.
    Frost needs the blood of the daywalker to land on the heads of the 12 pure bloods from different houses (so he kidnaps the Vampire counsil)
    One of the counsil starts arguing with the annoying vampire woman (Can't remember her name, but she gets garlic sprayed in her mouth and dies) and she replies something like
    "Then why are you sweating pure blood? We're gona take your pure blood soul"
    He argues again.
    She throws blades sword at him, killing him, and meaning when blade fights everyone he can grab his sword to fight Deacon/The blood god.

    Yeah, I noticed them all myself, but I wasn't looking for them, I just saw them,,,,,
    Like in Brain Dead2, you can see Sam (The main character) say
    "Workshed" without moving his lips.

    The point of this thread was to see what we'd spotted, not what film buffs note...

    The obvious one in T2 was when the truck with the T1000 driving drives off the bridge into the flood canal, both windscreens fall out...
    ...then they appear back in place again.

    Ahh remembered another.
    Happy Gilmore:
    Happy tries for the hockey squad, hits a big squad and smashes the glass infront of the coaches, camera faces happy who falls over, then back to coaches, the glass is back!

    Also in the Matrix when Neo goes to see the Oracle when it goes to the shot of the shiny brass door nob you can see the camera in it :/

    Also somewhere in Casino there is a part where someone is sat in the back of a Limo and someone else is leaning in the window talking to him, to his right on the seat is a white packet of cigs and the next shot their not there and then they are and then their not.......you get the idea
