What are your favorite movie gaffs?

In Blues Brothers, they play two songs at the concert at Lake Wasapumani before sneaking out, get to their car in a few minutes, and state, "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got half a pack of cigarettes, a full tank of gas.... Hit it." Even though the show started late, let's say it was a 9 p.m. show that didn't start till 10. So they're on the road at 10:05. They drive like a bat out of hell to Chicago and, somehow, arrive just in time for the County Assessor's office to open in the morning.

In the Bullitt car chase scene, the charger loses 6 hubcaps. It also misses the gas station that blows up anyways. Oh yeah, and then the same cars are parked on the side of the road in different parts of the chase.

my favorite movie gash is definitely traci lords. after she turned 18, of course.

In 'Field of Dreams' Shoeless Joe (Ray Liotta) bats right-handed and throws lefty. In real life it was the other way around.

There was some film named Titanic that was supposed to be a love story on an ocean liner but then the stupid boat that they were filming on sank! I couldn't believe it! How dumb does a director have to be to film on a boat while traveling through iceberg-filled waters?

Also, it was December 7th, dont think they would be playing baseball that time of year, even if it is Hawaii..

Spelling errors are my favorite gaffe. Check you dictionary.

So, it has to be the one they use to try to catch Jaws, then.

In PeeWee Herman's Big Adventure, when he takes his bike lock and chain out of under his seat, and he keeps pulling and pulling it, you can see it coming from under the seat.

Also, I went to see that movie The Alamo in the theater. Anyway, the projectionist messed up the sequence of the tape, but we all just thought the movie sucked.

I went with like 5 friends, and we were like, "WTF, that guy is dead, why is he up on a horse again shooting? I thought they were at the Alamo, why are they back in the town?"

Anyway, that is my story.

No, just way out of baseball season.

So we should never see kids playing basketball in the summer retard?

obviously they'd be playing ice hockey in december in hawaii. the director should have had the japanese planes flying over the frozen ponds that dot o'ahu during the cold hawaiian winter. that would have been much more believable.

"Without Limits" was on TV the other night and I happened to watch the scene of Pre's 5,000 in Munich. They keep cutting to a scene of his friends watching back home on TV, and freakin' Frank Shorter is doing the color commentary. Oh well, I guess the marathon wasn't for a couple days and he had some time to kill, and ABC wanted to lock him up before the gold medal made him too famous and pricey.

He isn't playing himself though, is he?

Isn't he just playing a TV announcer?

Um, my bad but you don,t have to be a jerk about it. I guess I remembered wrong why it was a gaffe, that it was so early in the morning. However, you don't have to call me an idiot. I had two other scenes before that which are correct. How about some credit for that?

I only saw the movie once, so I don't remember this. But was it Frank Shorter playing Frank Shorter, or Frank Shorter playing an unnamed announcer?
