Here is a scene you most likely have watched numerous times, the assassination of Sonny Corleone at the causeway toll booth. It contains a continuity mistake, see if you can find it.
In the last shot, the car's windshield is once again intact.
Correct. At the 40 second mark we see the front windshield shot completely away leaving only small shards in the corners. At the 48 second mark Sonny has exited the car and we get a full length shot of it and the windshield is back in place with just one hole in the upper left corner.
Great spot, Docendo discimus, I was too fascinated by the self repairing windshield to notice that the car also featured self sealing metal. Sonny must have driven one of those reanimating Terminator cars which may be temporarily disassembled, but never destroyed.
One of my favorites has always been The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, where Clint Eastwood rides out of one town on one horse, and by the time he gets to the next town, he's on a completely different horse.
There's also a scene where he's standing outside a saloon in the rain. But when he walks inside the saloon, there's not a drop of water on him.
There's also a car in one shot near the end of the movie.
I wonder if New Jersey is in England. The stop sign in the foreground indicates the lanes of traffic are reversed from normal. It happens, but is rare. I also am amused that in spraying bullets, they hit the fenders but never blow out a tire. Of course squibs blow outward, leaving threads going out from the "wound" rather than into it, and bullets striking glass windows in buildings don't typically blow out dinner plate sections, and when firing at point blank range in a pressed grey suit, one might get a teeny bit of blood spatter, and so on.
Sometimes it is simply carelessness or an unwillingness to re shoot a second take when lots of extras are involved. In the 1967 western "Bandolero" there is a scene where a posse is being quickly organized and rifles are being distributed to the members from the back of a wagon where a guy is tossing them to them as they ride by. If you pay attention you will notice that almost no one actually catches the rifle thrown to him, they go all over the place. Despite this, mostly unarmed, the posse then thunders off for the pursuit.
