"Film Flubs" - Mistakes in the Movies

Movie mistakes happen most often because of "continuity."  It's supposed to be someone's job to watch that scenes that continue after "cut" and before "action" retain details.  It's said that Bette Davis, arguably a chain smoker, would remember exactly how much her cigarette had burned down and would smoke to precisely that place before starting the next take.

A lot of these flubs were noticed by people who paid TOO much attention.  Here are some movie mistakes caught by very observant folks.  See more in the video.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE:  Aragog has died, and Hagrid and Slughorn are drinking from cups -- Slughorn's much larger than Hagrid's.  Hagrid passes out, and Slughorn's cup is now the same size as his.

THE HURT LOCKER:  James is ordered to open his jacket.  He lowers one arm and reaches in to remove a weapon.  In the next shot both arms are raised again.  (Note:  Doubt this will cost them the Oscar.)

THE TWILIGHT SAGA - NEW MOON:  After Bella awakes from the first nightmare, we see her Romeo and Juliet book on the pillow beside her. When Charlie brings in her presents the book is gone, but then reappears on the pillow between shots.

ZOMBIELAND:  The zombies climb the tower of terror-style ride.  They need to get Wichita and Little Rock.  One male zombie briefly shows a safety harness.  (This is the best kind of flub.  More to come.)

Let's go back a few years.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL - Captain Jack is on deck.  Over Jack's shoulder you can see a crew member wearig a cowboy hat, sunglasses and t-shirt.

GLADIATOR - In the "Battle of Carthage" in the Colosseum, one of the chariots is turned over. Once the dust settles you can see a gas cylinder in the back of the chariot.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS - In the dueling scene, when Snape pulls Malfoy back onto his feet, a cameraman is visible on the far left of the screen.

    One of the most famous flubs is from The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland. In the forest scene after Judy meets the Tin Man you see a stage hand caught on set hiding behind a tree in the forest.
