One of the classics was " braveheart"
The running to a battle scene in which mel Gibson charges the English first a sword in left hand then right then left then nothing !!!.
Around the grave scene when his wife was laid to rest..you can see a white transit van in the distance.
Several shots around the mountains you can see vapour trails of jets in the sky.

There is a famous London company who sells film prop memorabilia I cant mention the name as its promoting them but when you read what some of the props are made of ...it makes you smile.
There is a large hammer used in the film "braveheart" and its made out of polystyrene and when seen in the film it almost bounces of the guys head and the swords are all made of light wood to resemble steel. |

I was flicking through and saw that 'classic' Wesley Snipes movie Passenger 57 and was a little confused by the tarsus like plane. Huge on the inside (supposed to be a jumbo) but only little on the outside (I work with planes.... plus that film is pants :p).
Also, Jurassic Park has lots of funny bits where you can see pot plants, crew members shaking plants, holding puppets, camera reflections and things like that! |

Robin hood 2010 with russel crowe when the group are riding through the woods you can clearly see tree's cut down with a chain saw.
There is supposed to be a classic in "fall of the roman empire" when a guard standing out side a temple clearly has a wrist watch on !!!. |

"Casting a 5'3" 12 stone midget to play a 6'8" 18 stone hardman
Tom Cruise is never Reacher as long as I have a hole in my arse "
 Tom cruise is the same in any film he makes he does not act at all and is just him self .....and gets one hell of a wage packet for just being himself and an uninteresting actor and I use that word lightly !!!. |

If you want to see a film that's so bad it's good. Watch A Common Man with Ben Kingsley about a terrorist planting bombs around India. He really did phone in his performance. Literally. But it's the dubbing. Indian to English. That really makes it one of the worst films ever. And the ending. Well. There isn't one. Ben must've fallen upon hard times or else he owed someone a big favour to agree to it. But. It's both preposterous on one hand yet intriguing on the other. I was glued to my seat throughout. Had I not been- I'd've left the screening five minutes in...  |

Ben Kingsley is a superb actor "shindlers list" but have to agree a common man isn't one of his best......he was cast as fagin in oliver also and was superb in that film |

He's a grrat actor ..see Sexy Beast for one...but this was not one of his best. Tho he saves the film in the scenes he is in. I was given the movie on a hard drive on recommendation that it was so weird and home-made looking its as if it was a spoof. Nope. It really WAS that bad.
Was he also not in Iron Man 3? Again doing a quite amusing turn. In what I thought was another pretty bland action adventure formulaic roll-out. Give me The Claw (Thunderbirds) any time! |

There's a scene in star wars where, in the background, lots of stormtroopers are marching through a doorway 2 by 2, when a really tall one bangs his head on the door frame quite hard but carries on regardless.  |

Rocky 4 before Apollo fights Drago, he's dancing around the ring wearing boxing gloves. He then starts taunting and pointing at Drago "I want you, I want you" without gloves on. They then meet in middle of the ring and the gloves are back on |

Braveheart was a fallacy from the start, so many things wrong with it that it needs a thread to itself!
What amuses me now is the number of people who sincerely think it is in any way historically accurate. |

"A well-known one is in Ben Hur. During the chariot scene you can see, in the distant background, a sportscar driving along a road in the hills. "
I've looked for that countless times. Not managed to see it yet. |

I didn't think the film was that bad but Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher. I'll stick to the books. |

Predator has a pretty bad one.... The scene where Carl Weathers has half his arm blown of by predator and then turns in slow motion with the other gun blazing you can clearly see his so called blown of arm tucked behind his back
Also several scenes in commando where you can see people falling of buildings on to blue crash mats lol ! |

Every movie depicting scenes shot in outer space where people dodge being hit by laser beam type rounds fired from weaponry and where you can hear loud explosions in a what is essentially a vacuum,,,  |

I watched a classic old film I think it was made in the 1950's called Chester and the detective. There is a scene where the detective is on the phone and can clearly be seen talking into the ear piece.. |

Not to mention depicting hoards of Scottish men wear kilts in the 13th century is an historical inaccuracy of something like 400 years before it's time…..  |
