Movie Mistakes (Reservoir Dogs, ending, film, scene)

[laserdiscfan]

In Pulp Fiction, when Vince and Jules kill Brett at the beginning of the film, it is obvious that Samuel L's pistol is spent (the top part of the gun, I cannot recall the name, is pulled back). When the scene continues towards the end of the film, he does not reload but somehow kills the guy who pops out of the bathroom.

In "Pretty Woman" when they're eating breakfast. In one scene Julia Roberts is eating a croissant, in the very next scene, she's holding a pancake.

In Shawshank, Tim Robbins would not be able to crawl/swim 500 yards through a sewer pipe without being asphyxiated by H2S or methane gas.

Perhaps they were also trying to portray him as a child molestor, since at the time the Princess Isabella was only actually 3 years old. The Scots also should have consulted a fashion advisor. They were wearing kilts, which they did not do for another three centurys, and were painted like Picts, something they had not done since the late Roman occupation. KIng Edward did not die at the same time as Wallace, he died two years after the death of Wallace. Also, as medieval kings go, he was not really all that bad. One thing the film did get right, and that was the lethal power of the English longbow, which had recently come into prominence as the weapon that would play a major role on the battlefields of Europe.

I just remembered another one I caught. Anthony Hopkins, Shirley Maclaine and Bo Derek starred in the 1980 flick "Change of Season" which is about the married Hopkins having an affair with Bo's character. At one point they decide to rendezvous at Hopkin's winter cabin. They both drive their own cars to get there.

When they depart, Hopkins and Derek return together in Hopkin's car. Upon arrival at her home, her car is seen parked in the driveway.

Must have driven itself back on autopilot.

In Titanic, as Rose is walking up the grand staircase to meet Jack, there is a black inset in the front of her dress that disappears a minute later and then reappears again.

Cars that screech in dirt or snow
rooms of people getting killed but disappear for continued scenes,
hand guns that fire thousands of rounds and never hit any thing.
Phone or door bell rings and the person knows who it is before answering it,
Bad guys are shooting all over the place but the hero never misses not even once.
shooting a car and seeing it blow up ,
shooting tires ,
Seeing things blow up that normally don't have any thing combustable in them.
Time travel laws,i.e. time space continuum . Time is an invention of man. It is not a fabric things are bound to.
Cow boy movies where the men are wearing wrist watches and shooting double action revolvers.Before their time.
Desert scenes where there have been several takes ,because you can see multiple tracks in a place no one supposedly has ever been.
Instruments on planes or equipment making movements they are mechanically normally not capable of including blowing up.
Super héros forgetting their super powers struggling with a situation.
And my favorite,
Computer controlling every thing on the planet "Eagle Eye" and "Ghost in the machine " are good examples. Not possible on 95% of the movies.

In the movie "How to train your dragon" assuming they are supposed to be Vikings, how come they are all speaking with a scottish accent? Is a scottish accent deemed more funny because of the whole shrek series?... loved that movie, except for that bugged me.
Loved on MST when they would point out the mistakes like this, esp. when the scenes on those old terrible B movies the scene suddenly changes from night to day? I like on the show mythbusters when they totally bust these hollywood scenes... people actually do think this stuff on the movies is real. Pretty sad.

in the original Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)we have 4 people expending a great deal of energy walking for hours and hours under the earths surface and only carrying a few days worth of food supplies.just calculate it. 4 people with hardy appetites eating at least 3 meals a day for many months, that alone would need an a small army people just to carry the supplies and of course all those people would have to be feed!!
