Biggest Movie or TV goof you've ever caught.

Sparky · Phat Cat EL Presidente

My Mom recently reminded me of when I was about five I used to like watching Mr. Rogers. She said one day I got this funny look on my face and asked her why did Mr. Rogers always walk in and take his shoes off, put his slippers on for the duration of the show and at the end he would take his slippers off and just walk out. (no shoes)

There is a tragic one in the Wizard of Oz. After the tin man joins in and they are singing the Yellow Brick Road song, if you look off in the distant trees there is a young man hanging himself. It shows him jump and swinging. It was a son of a director or something and to this day has never been edited out.

There is also one duing the chariot race of Ben Hur, when it pans out to show the vast crowd, you can see a pink VW Bug in the corner.

Aww man, I went to get my WIZARD OF OZ DVD to look for that scene and it's gone, I musta ebayed it a while back :(

CP · Lord of the Lair

It's there. Apparently the boy had hung himself in protest of something political that was happening at the time. I was told by an MGM person that I met once that it was never deleted because the director or who ever his dad was begged to keep it in for the memory of his son. It is a little hard to see at first, but when you catch it on the tape/dvd your eyes are drawn to it and that is all you see.

Nope CP...it's a myth....It's actually a Peacock stading in the shadows...I have 4 books devoted to "Film Flubs" and this is a well documented urban legend...When I have some time, I'll share a bit from the books

I LOVE Film Flubs...this is gonna be a well written in topic for me...

I have to disagree Mo. I just looked at it again, and it is not a peacock. You can even see a part of the ladder.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Well CLEARLY this is one I gotta check out

I'm on my way to the video store! CYA!

CP · Lord of the Lair

Mo-- I think we are both right. I just pulled out andother ofthe DVD's and it is not there. It is on the Video Tape I have and an older version of the DVD. I will see if I can copy it and put it on a website.

Holy cow riggs- if you can hang on to that and show me on Sunday! how odd!

CP · Lord of the Lair

I just spoke with my sister-in-law. Film student graduate. Only the old MGM release has this scene, when they did the anniversary edition and when Warner Brothers did the DVD you cannot see it.

Another very popular Urban Legend, especially in recent years, is whether or not one of the Munchkin actors hanged himself during filming. Once again, this rumor is NOT true. This so-called scene is said to have taken place during the Tin Woodman sequence in the film when Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman head off down the yellow brick road. In the background a large object can be seen. If you watch the film on a big screen or with a good quality video/DVD you will see that it's nothing more than a large bird flapping its wings. Most critics and fans alike agree it's a crane. Several birds from the Los Angeles Zoo were brought onto the set during this sequence to give it a more outdoors feel. One of the best explanations I've seen for this "rumor" can be found on the internet at: http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/ozsuicid.htm.

slipups.com is a good movie goof site.

I notice flaws in story lines more than anything else. I love Friends and have probably seen all the episodes (except for the last season, was way too busy and mistaped the finale), anyway, their writers must not read their own stuff because they have made massive mistakes in their story lines.

One slip up had to do with two different episodes involving Phoebe. In an earlier episode, she discovered her mother had not let her watch the sad endings of movies and made up the endings to movies like Bambi and Old Yeller. However, in a later episode when Chandler could not cry, Phoebe said she cried at the end of Bambi, but it could have been because her mother killed herself that day or the next day (can't remember which). If she never saw the unhappy endings, how could she cry?

CP · Lord of the Lair

Trish--I am with you. I am a MASH fan. In the first season Hawkeye refers to his mother still being alive as well as having a sister. After a few seasons, he refers to his mother dying when he was little and never mentions a sister again.

Anyone ever notice on the Dukes of Hazzard that in the midst of the same car chase scene, the General Lee would get banged up, but in the next shot it would be fine again? Cooter must've been on-board to make on-the-spot bodyshop repairs!

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Oh yeah, INSTANT car repairs happen ALL the time in chase scenes, it's hilarious.

The movie TWISTER has one of those, the truck that Helen Hunt is a passenger in gets hit in the windsheild with flying debris, and the window just cracks HUGE, next scene it's normal again. HOW CAN THEY MISS THAT?

Trish, you and I are alike in finding those story plotline problems! My friends tell me to chill and just enjoy the show, but I'm always annoyed and quite frankly feel a little insulted by a really obvious plotline problem.

Even worse are the DESIGN problems, you'll see these ALL THE TIME.

Seinfeld has two of the worst. They always show the exterior of his apartment, from the street. and his two living room windows are on the outer wall which is perfectly flat. Yet inside the apartment, to the right of those windows is a hall that leads to his bathroom and his bedroom. THOSE ROOMS WOULD BE HANGING OVER THE DAMN STREET!

Then, in his hallway, when they show him walking up to his door, the wall his door is on is part of a straight hallway, yet, when you're in the apartment he has a complete kicthen where that hall is, and his refridgerator is sunk into the wall so deep that when you leave his apartment, if you turned right you should run smack dab into the wall behind it, but of course you don't.

Sparky · Phat Cat EL Presidente

Did you also ever notice that in the early car chase scenes they would always lose 10 hubcaps and in the next scene they would all be right back on again. I'm telling you its a conspiracy. Also you will never see a rear view mirror on the cars.

Somechick · Chairwoman Of The Board

The one flaw that I can think of right now is in Titanic (I won't even begin to tell you the number of times I've heard "My Heart Will Go On")

As Kate Winslet is walking towards the back of the ship to jump off, she gets on the railing and it shows a profile of her. Her one arm has a tattoo on it that editing didn't take out for a few shots.

With all of the money James Cameron spent, you'd have thought he would have checked that junk out.

Trish · The Procrastinating Red-Head

In the early episodes of Full House, Jesse Consolpolos' last name was not Consolpolos it was something else that begins with a C, but I can't remember what it is right now. That is going to drive me nuts all day now.
