Movie flaws that ANYONE should notice...

In a movie with as many plotholes as there are stars in the sky, Anaconda has a scene where the boat is pulling away from where it had docked that is obviously just the film being reversed from the scene where it pulls in. How is it obvious, you may ask? Because the waterfall in the background is going UP!

In Pulp Fiction, when Jules and Vincent barge into the room where Brett and his three friends are holed up with the briefcase, there are already huge bullet holes in the wall behind them. The guy hiding in the bathroom charges out, unloads his .44 Magnum, and is shot dead by J&V. Jules then looks behind them and marvels at the bullet holes, the size of the gun and the fact that neither of them was hit.

Have you seen Sex and Lucia? Paz Vega is just that hot.

All is forgiven when Jon Voigt winks at the camera.

There are no flaws in Anaconda. It was all intentional.

Rodin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Azeem shows Robin the coming enemy through a primative telescope. Robin pulls his sword ***from his belt ** * and there is a metal-on-metal SHHTING! sound.

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture supposedly only 5 years have passed since the end of their last mission even though its obvious that all the actors are 15 years older.

It’s also east of Java, if you go far enough.

Any football fan should note that in Forest Gump, Forest is placed as a kick returner on the football team solely on his ability to run fast. A kick returner needs much more than just the ability to run fast, he needs to know how to follow the blocking, avoid tacklers, etc., things Forest isn’t smart enough to master. Why not have him run the 100 yard dash instead, wouldn’t that make more sense? But I give it a pass, becasue the intent was to show off the impressive CGI recreating a full 80,000 seat football stadium circa 1960’s, which is much more impressive than recreating a track meet with 12 fans watching. Although they could have had him in the 1964 Olympics…

And in the movie Babe- pigs can’t really talk.

To tag on after the OP in The Raiders of the Lost Ark:

After Indy determines in the map room where the Ark is located, he snaps the (too tall) staff in half in an apparent attempt to prohibit anyone else from finding the true height of the staff. It seems, no one’s ever heard of glue.

In the Bond film You Only Live Twice, where Bond goes to Japan, during the big fight in the volcano at the end, a bunch of ninjas show up to help Bond defeat Blofeld’s minions. Every time a ninja kills a jump-suit clad minion, his sword makes a loud “Sching!” noise.

The same film sees Bond (played by Sean Connery) succesfully disguise himself as a Japanese peasant by applying bronzer and slouching.

This one has always bugged me.

In Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country, Sulu, commanding the Excelsior, is coming back from a mission cataloging gaseous anomalies when they discover the explosion and destruction of Praxus.

Later, while trying to locate the cloaked Klingon ship, Uhura suggests they attach some of their equipment to catalog gaseous anomalies onto a torpedo, since “The thing’s gotta have a tailpipe.”

Problem was, Uhura was on the Enterprise, not Excelsior, when she said that! :smack: They didn’t even meet up with Sulu until after the space battle!

In the final scene of the Death Star fight in Star Wars, when Darth Vader and his minions are flying along shooting up rebels, you can clearly see the rebels ahead of them. However, when the camera switches so that it’s looking back from ahead of the rebels, there are no TIE fighters in sight. Then they switch back to the TIE fighters, and they’re right behind the rebels.

And no, the TIE fighters weren’t cloaked. :rolleyes:

Much like the early 80s Chevy Impala station wagon, those X-Wing fighters were known for their wicked blind spot.

What? It’s less dumb and less far-fetched, by degrees, than the idea of midichlorians! :smiley:

I’ve posted this one before, but I’ll post it again because it bugs me so much:

E.T.: In the first few minutes, poor li’l E.T. is stranded on Earth when the UFO he landed in takes off w/o him. He watches forelornly as the ship hovers - what? - ten feet off the ground?

Later on in the movie, E.T. levitates himself, Elliot & his bike (and later still, all the kids in the neighborhood & their bikes) miles through the air, soaring over the redwood forests.

Why in hell didn’t E.T. just levitate himself up to the ship in the first few minutes of the movie?

Because then Spielberg would only be worth a zillion dollars, instead of a kajillion.

Notice how much of this thread is devoted to Spielberg movies.

Yeah. SUURRRRE it was…

While I agree that the world would be a better place if everyone were familiar with all broadway musicals, I think you may have slightly missed the point of this thread…

I just noticed this today on AMC

In the original Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr. the first time he changes he is sitting down wearing slacks and his wife beater T shirt. He notices how his feet are changing. The camera focuses on his feet as he becomes the werewolf and walks away, cut to the same wolf feet walking in the swamp. As the camera pans up we see the Wolfman is now wearing a buttoned to the collar shirt.

Did he stop to put on a shirt as he was changing into the werewolf?

But different. The X-Wings had blind spots. Chevy wagons left you blind, despite a world of glass around you, because the outside was so far away! Looking in the rearview and seeing mostly the interior except a little rectangle through the rear window I had to remind myself that those were downsized from the even-vaster early-70s wagons.

In “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), as Sydney Greenstreet is pecking at the Falcon, his voice is dubbed to be saying “It’s a fake!” or something like that.

It’s obvious that he’s not actually speaking.
