Have you ever spotted a movie blooper?

Plenty, but I don't look for them intentionally. Usually I'll notice plot holes more easily than continuity errors within a single scene. I also spot geographical mistakes if the scene is shot in a place I've been to.

Cowboy movie with jet airstream in the background, 1920's era movie in car at night, other autos in background were modern vehicles, usual microphone at top of screen.

The Full Monty had plenty of geographical errors

No, but I don't look for them, and even if it's pretty obvious, I'd probably still miss them.

Yes, lots of times. Two that come to mind are Twister and Ace Ventura II.

I live to spot bloopers. I see them all the time.

Yeah in Jurassic Park 3 when the dinosaur stood on a metal cage under water and it floated upto the surface again which it wouldn't have done cos it was metal and full of holes.

sometimes

On "The Lion King" when Simba slumps down on to the ground and the grasses swirl and go to Rafiki..if you slow down the grasses they spell SEX. And on the Little Mermaid the priest that almost marries Ursula and the prince has a hard on!

Yeah, in "The Fellowship of the Ring", which is the only one I've seen enough times to spot one. Frodo and Sam are walking out of the outskirts of the Shire and Sam says: "This is it. If I take one more step it'll be the farthest I've ever been from home." You can see part of a car, sort of. You have to look really closely.

By the way, the coolest moment in that whole movie is in Lothlórien. Haldir fingers his arrow and says: "The dwarf breathes so loudly, we could shoot him in the dark."
Brrrr! Love those elves

Do you finger your arrow?

I just watched Jeepers Creepers and in the beginning when the truck is ramming the car and messing up the whole back end, they switch to a chase few where the back end is still in mint condition. (Thats just the most recent one i have noticed)

No, and I don't look for them.

I don't have an arrow or arrows Which is too bad! I should pick up archery some time in my life. It looks like fun.

More times than I could possibly count. I disagree with your use of the word "blooper" however. My understanding is that a blooper is when an actor flubs his line and everyone starts laughing, or when the boom mike hits someone in the head, that sort of thing. Those always get edited out. I think what you are talking about is things like anachronisms, continuity errors, contradictions, stuff like that. I'm really good at picking out anachronisms in films. Most filmmakers don't really give a rat's ass about historical accuracy so there are loads of them in any period film. Hairstyles, costumes, make-up, furniture, technology, you name it, they screw it up.

i saw all the disney bloopers where they put in swear words and vulgarities, but i have also seen where like a person stumbles a line but they used it anyway.

jeez, you don't have to be so critical of him.

I was forced to see Good Guys Wear Black when I was young. The highlight for me was when a microphone was bobbing into a scene.
I always catch both the corner flashes that they use for changing film reels.

Oh my God, all KINDS of bloopers in the latest version of "The Count Of Monte Cristo" which is playing in theaters right now. Do yourself a favor though and save your money because this movie contains more bloopers than you can shake a sword at! I counted more than fourteen hundred mistakes and anachronisms in the picture -- and I arrived fifteen minutes late!!

Maybe the most questionable choice they made was in choosing to set the movie in 20th century Somalia. I am not kidding you -- 20th century Somalia! Anyone who's read the book can tell you it's supposed to take place in 19th century France.

Now, in this new version, the Count of Monte Cristo, played by Sam Shephard, is forced to send his men into hostile enemy territory in order to kidnap the henchmen of a powerful Somali warlord.

Let me just cut to the chase here: This has very little to do with the original Dumas novel, where Somalia is hardly even mentioned, let alone set. Plus, the Count is French in the novel. Here he is American. And the screenplay sloppily has the other characters addressing him as "The General". Not the Count, mind you, but "The General." Makes you wonder if they even read the book!!

Anyway, I spent the better part of two hours just laughing in my seat, pointing at the screen and guffawing as each new blooper and anachronism passed before my eyes. No sooner would I quiet down for a moment or two when a character onscreen would fire off an M-16 or jump into a jeep or a Black Hawk helicopter and get me laughing again. Tears were streaming down my face. The rest of the audience kept scowling at me and telling me to for God's sakes please shut the fudge up because they were just too dumb to realize what a sham they were watching. What jerks!

Still makes me laugh just thinking about it. Anyway, long story short, this has got to be the most disappointing swashbuckler I have ever seen. Save your money.

Just the bits where you see the boom microphone pop into the top view of the screen.

er... I've met people like you in cinemas.

When the guy handed you the ticket and said it was screen 6, was he holding it upside down by any chance?

You can pick most movies apart if you want to. I saw the so called "ghost" on Three Men And A Baby. I think it was a gimmick to get people to rent the movie so they could look for the ghost.

There's a bunch of them in the movie "Pee Wee's big Adventure" Some other movies too.I always try to spot bloopers. I look for them intentionally.It's fun! Kinda like a game.Haven't done it in a couple years now tho.

Good eye mate!

I catch those sometimes too.

I've heard about the "ghost" too.

This is taken from urbanlegends.com:

--There is a scene in the movie "Three Men and a Baby" in which some people claim to have seen the ghostly figure of a small boy who was killed in the house in which the scene was filmed. In some variations, the boy's parents are said to have sued the movie studio, or the owners of the "house", for letting their boy's name be released to the press. There are also tales of other ghostly objects being seen throughout the movie, most notably a rifle pointing at the head of the "ghost boy".
That is the legend. Here are the facts. The scene in question was not shot in a house, but on a soundstage in a Hollywood studio. The "ghost boy" is in fact a life-sized cardboard cutout of Ted Danson (who stars in the film), which had been left in the background, presumably accidentally, by a crew member. This cutout is seen in full view in another scene in the movie.
There is no ghost boy. No boy ever died on the set, and no one involved with the movie was ever sued by the mythical parents of said ghost boy. No one appears to know how the legend started. Some have suggested it was a promotional scheme perpetrated by the producers of the film to get people to buy/rent/go see it. Most likely the flub was simply noticed by one or more innocent movie goers, who told a friend, or perhaps a newspaper...--

It looks like a kid standing behind some lace curtains. It's too short to be a full size cutout.

My son spotted a new blooper when he was watching Animal House (for about the millionth time) the other day.

Thurs 9:40pm
Ooooooooo! I need to rent that one then. I love blooper spotting.

We own it.

Show off! ** sneaks in your house & looks for the video**

It's in my son's room. End of the hall, on the left, don't trip over anything in his room!

10:32
lol lol Thanks for the help! So I guess his room is just like my daughters room. Cept hers has clothes everywhere! I can't stand to go in there anymore,it looks like a war zone..>

lol got the video! I'll toss it back when I spot all the bloopers.

Okay, just hurry up though, before he misses it, Okay?

Shhhhhhh! be very quiet. He won't know a thing,not unless you trip over something & wake him up!

I could explode a nuclear device under his pillow and he'd sleep thru it! >

lol lol lol lol lol

Talk about Not waking the dead.Dannnnnnng!!! He's JUST like my daughter.Must be the water.

Must be! My sister was the same way, BTW.

My daughter slept through out my whole pregnancy.I had to push on my stomach to make sure she was okay.

Not my kid, he was a champion bladder kicker from the word GO. I'd finally get my self all comfy in bed and he would kick me in the bladder which of course made me think I had to pee (even though I had just gone before lying down). So I'd get up and waddle to the bathroom and nothing! Waddle back to bed, get comfy and BOOM, he'd do it again!

Yeah I know the feeling! My boy was the same way. Till this day he's very energetic.Makes me tired just watching him.

Mine's slowed down over the years.

Lucky you.I still wait for that day.

I spotted two in Diamonds Are Forever which played on TV Saturday night.

What were they?

One was during Bond's fight with Bambi & Thumper. When he get's out of the pool after holding them under to extract information, he is dripping wet. Moments later while watching as the door to the room containing Willard White is broken into, he appears completely dry. The second one occurs during the chase sequence that starts in the streets of Las Vegas. At the end of the chase he ends in an alley that terminates into a narrow exit. He uses a ramp (or rather the stunt guy does) and tips up onto his right tires, but when he exits the alley, he's tipped up on his left tires. There certainly wasn't enough room to change sides or a ramp to assist in doing so.
