Twilight in list of top 10 gaffe-ridden films of the year

UK Daily Mail
Indiana Jones and the 67 film blunders
Spielberg blockbuster tops table of gaffe-ridden movies

1. Indianna Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 67 mistakes
2. The Dark Knight - 46 mistakes
3= Twilight and Mamma Mia - 45 mistakes
5. High School Musical 3 - 41 mistakes
6. Journey to the Centre of the Earth - 31 mistakes
7. Step Brothers 24 mistakes
8. Get Smart and Quantum of Solace 23 mistakes
10. Iron Man - 21 mistakes

The whole article under the cut



It had a budget of more than £100million and the world's most famous film director at the helm.
But it seems that not enough of the cash went on researching the history for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
As a result, Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster has topped a poll to find the most gaffe-ridden movies of the year.
Fans spotted a staggering 67 continuity and historical mistakes in the film, which took over £40million at the UK box office alone.
The most obvious blunder was using a post-2000 Harley Davidson motorbike in a film set in 1957.
Others include showing Harrison Ford with his shirt tucked in and untucked in the same scene and using an American flag with the wrong number of stars.
A map used in the film used the name Belize, even though the country was called British Honduras in 1957 and would be until 1973. And in yet another error, when Cate Blanchett's character is descending off the cliff you can briefly see the harness holding her up.
The errors have been compiled by the film website moviemistakes.com, which enables fans to write in and point out the blunders they notice.
Other box-office hits which made the blunders top ten include the new Batman film, The Dark Knight. It has just been named film of the year in a poll by DVD rental company LoveFilm and took £48.7million at the UK box office
But fans counted 46 mistakes, putting it second on the list.
At one point the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, appears to sport different hairstyles in the same scene, while later in the film he is shown holding a gun in different hands.
Third on the list was the best selling Abba musical Mamma Mia!
Earlier this month it became the highest-selling DVD in film history. It has overtaken Titanic as the highest grossing film of all time, taking more than £360million worldwide and £70million in the UK.
Fans pointed out 45 mistakes, however. In one scene a man is shown getting out of the water but in the next shot he is completely dry. In another a hair-dryer changes colour from silver to green.
One glaring continuity error happens during the classic Abba song Winner Takes it All. At the start of the song, the character has her hands up near her chest, but in the next shot they are down by her side.
Jon Sandys, head of moviemistakes.com, said: 'With the budget of many movies, you'd think they could avoid mistakes like this, or at least use computers to cover them up. But they keep cropping up, and eagle-eyed movie fans keep spotting them.'




So this post isn't strictly E/B related, but I thought it would be interesting to share this.
There were a few which I thought were strange which someone might be able to explain.
First, when he passes Edward in the truck, why was Billy driving when he is in a wheel-chair?
Second, when Bella meets Edward's family someone says 'here comes the human!' At first I thought it was Esme, but I realised that her lips didn't move in that scene. But it's waaaay to chirpy for Rosalie *is confused*

1) Although I am not sure that car is, it is very much possible for a man in a wheel-chair to drive if the car has been adapted to it. There are several ways for example there are cars in which you can take care of the pedals using the hand in an automatic car.

My friend Paul is disabled, and cannot use his legs, and he can drive. The buttons are on te steering wheel.
Rosalie says it, I think it sounds quite snide.

That's honestly the only mistake that really bothers me.

I had a teacher who had polio and couldn't use her legs.

The gas and brake "pedals" were adapted to be on the steering wheel.

People are mad ignorant.

There are a lot of mistakes in Twilight. One of the most obvious ones include the scene where Edward is on the tree branch looking down talking to Bella. First, we see him only about 8 inches away from Bella, then in the next he is all the way nearer towards the bark, then it cuts back to 8-inch distance.

What is that all about?

Factual error: The bite marks are simply birthmarks and too small to be an actual "human" bite.

I don't get what they mean... I'm confused.

Continuity: Bella has a cast put on the foot that was broken in the fight with James. She also has a bitemark on her right arm which is bandaged in hospital. But at prom the bandage and bitemark are both gone, even though she still has the cast on her foot.

I wasn't aware that a broken leg is supposed to heal that quickly.

I figured the bite mark was more under her sleeve of her little sweater.

[info]katiesangels

December 31 2008, 17:12:22 UTC 3 years ago

I didn't quite understand the cast one either. Broken bones do need longer to heal than a flesh wound (bite mark or not). And you're right, it could have been under the sweater.

Continuity: While Bella is hanging out inside the van at the La Push beach and Jacob and his friends come to hang out, Jacob turns to grab a tub of Red Vines. In some shots he has the tub next to him, but in others he doesn't. Also you can see that the guy next to Sam takes a bite of a Red Vine in one shot, and in the next he does not have the Red Vine in his hand anymore.

Well he is a werewolf, he eats fast ;)

ridiculous.

I loved the movie regardless of the so called mistakes.
The movie was an interpretation of it not the actual book
I think people forget that.

Just saying :]

lmao some of these "mistakes" are priceless.
Although,i did notice some of them when i was watching the film too.

[info]strandednotlost

December 31 2008, 18:29:39 UTC 3 years ago

When Bella and Charlie are sitting in the diner near the beginning of the film, the items/bottles on the table move themselves between shots and also Bella's glass of drink disappears in one shot, as Waylon walks away from the table.

I think that explains itself.

[info]x_lipsofgrace

December 31 2008, 18:35:02 UTC 3 years ago

I wonder why Rob's accent coming out is a "mistake." After all, he's had no formal training ... and I think it's rather cute, lol. The only part I really noticed his accent coming out is when Edward takes Bella to his room and she notices the graduation caps and he says, "It's a private joke. We matriculate a lot."

*shrugs*

Visible crew/equipment: When Bella pulls up in her truck for her first day at Forks High, as the camera pans from her truck as she parks it into shot, you can see the camera and boom reflected in the triangular window.

When do they have time to notice these things?!

I never really noticed any of these things =/
I was wondering why Billy was driving, since he doesn't in the book, but I guess he's able to in the movie.
I also noticed Emmett chewing in one of the cafeteria scenes.
Whatever, all movies have little mistakes

I felt like sharing my thoughts on some of these with y'all.

Other: In the scene at the hospital, there are chest x-rays in the background. The chest x-ray on the far left is hung upside down. Lol, that reminds me of Scrubs.

Factual error: Edward saves Bella by standing between her truck and the careening van. He may be strong enough to not be crushed, but he's wearing ordinary shoes and has an unremarkable body weight. The coefficient of friction between his shoes and the pavement wouldn't keep him from being shoved into Bella's truck, putting a dent in it as well. I think he's bracing himself against her truck, preventing him from sliding backwards. And who says he has an unremarkable body weight?

Revealing: In the baseball scene, when the nomad vampires appear, you can see the rim of Laurent's contact lenses when they do up-close shots. That so reminds me of the Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet where they close up on the eyes and they're totally contacts.

Other: While Bella (Kristen Stewart) is in the hospital near the end of the movie, her eyes are green, her natural color, but during the rest of the movie, they are brown. It's cause she hasn't fed in a while, duh.

Other: In the scene where Bella meets Edward's family. Esme's (Edward's mother) upper forehead (near her hairline) has no makeup, but the bottom portion does. You can see the difference between her pale vampire makeup and her natural skin (which is also shiny). Lol. "also shiny"?? WTF?

Other: In the lunchroom scene, after Edwards flips the apple back up at Bella, you can see he is sweating (under his arms) and yet they stated before that his skin is ice cold. Its because he's hot. Duh.

Other: In the driving scene after Bella leaves her father to run from James, Edward appears on the side of her truck. Although the truck is moving, Edward's hair remains stationary. Seriously? You need to ask why?

I think it's impossible for any movie to not have at least one mistake.
And do people just sit there trying to find these mistakes in movies?

[info]francescamarie

January 1 2009, 01:54:17 UTC 3 years ago

Apparently. I think I looked at movie mistakes for Titanic once, years and years ago and people came up with 300 of the most ridiculous things.

[info]edwardemmett09

December 31 2008, 21:01:20 UTC 3 years ago

I could totally buy Rose saying "here comes the human" because its real sarcastic, and we all know how sarcastic Rose can be...

[info]agathons_fan

December 31 2008, 21:37:38 UTC 3 years ago

Lol. Thanks forposting this. I find this hilarious myself, cause I mean srsly people. SRSLY!!! Lol. Anyways. At least we won over The Dark Night and Indiana Jones. There is an accomplishment.

Also, I did find Billy driving to be a little strange because in the book Jacob drove for him, but then I remembered that they do have specially made vehicles for the handicap to drive, but I get your mistake. Billy wasnt driving in the book and at first its a shock and your like WTF?

Also, I think that is Rosalie talking when she says "Here comes the human." Because she was talking right before that and you know hoe Rosalie can get when it comes to Bella, and being sarcastic.

[info]hayley_cullen

December 31 2008, 21:52:31 UTC 3 years ago

Okay srsly, I really want to know who sits through a movie just to find mistakes. Are you kidding me with this?!

Things they were talking about... What a joke.
You can see they are wearing contacts... No way?! Really?!
You can hear Robs accent... *Sigh* He is a brilliant actor, he played Edward fantastically, and I was looking at his face too much to worry about his accent. Besides, being English myself, it wasn't the obvious to me. =] Lol.
Ugh, I can't be bothered to list all the reasons they have said and then be all sarcastic about it.

But I actually want to know, whilst watching these movies, who actually sits there looking for little mistakes?! I was to busy hyperventilating at Rob to notice any little mistakes.

I still think they did a great job with the movie, I think it was as close to the book as they could really get it. So leave them alone =]

Now my little rant is over, Happy New Year everyone! =]

When I was younger, I used to love looking for movie mistakes ahahaa. I spent a lot of time looking for all the Titanic mistakes. That was fun.

But some of these ~mistakes~ are just annoying. I remember reading one about ~Edward having a pulse in the meadow scene~ LIKE, DUDE. THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ROB STOP BREATHING.

Huh,apparently I'm a bad audience cause I payed attention to the story and charcters and the hotness and beauty that Rob and Kristen are,and not to those trivial things.I'll try to do better next time *rolls eyes* Seriously,some of those things they mention are beoynd dumb.The only thing that I noticed and found kind of funny is that you can often see Kristen's real eye color shining through her contact in her left eye,but that's cute,made me think of Husky dogs,lol;)
