Two I can think of:

In the first Jurassic Park.... when the T-Rex tears down the wires and escapes. The lawyer freaks and runs out of the truck, leaving the door to the truck open. Remember, the little boy closes it and the T-Rex hears it and looks at the truck. Anyway, after the lawyer runs, the camera changes to the truck with Sam Neill and Goldblum's truck and when the T-Rex walks in between the two, all the doors to the first truck are closed.

Second one-In Tombstone, after Kurt Russell tries to save Morgan from being shot, he cries and runs outside into the the street. It's raining. But if you look in the background, it's not. It's just raining on him.

Also, if you look in Attack of the Clones, after Jango Fett shoots at Kenobi in the rain and then his ship lifts off and leaves, he bonks his head on the top of the door.

It looks to be computer generated so not sure if that counts as a goof.

The bridge battle left out of Braveheart isn't a goof, it was a decision to leave something that costs a lot of money out of a battle few people had even heard of.

If you were in the close air support role you were guaranteed to take hits almost every mission. Not so much in the air to air role.

Just thought of another....

At the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, just as they make the transition from young Indy to Harrison Ford, they are on a boat, it's raining and they are punching Harrison Ford. In one view, he has blood trickling from one corner of his mouth. The camera view changes and shows the bad guy.... when it goes back to Harrison, the blood is on the opposite corner of his mouth.

In star wars return of the Jedi, Han solo is unfrozen from whatever, and his busy is about 1 1/2 times the size it was frozen.

My favorite one is ghostbusters when parts of a skyscraper fall, one lands on a car and does no damage and then they all roll around like basketballs.

Not in ROTJ but in Raiders of the Lost Ark, when he's going down the rope into the Well of Souls and slips.... he lands and a cobra jumps up and makes the cobra hood. If you look close, you can see the plexiglass/glass partition seperating them.

And, not really a goof..... but when they raise the Ark out of the box, if you look over Harrison Ford's right (left as you look at it) shoulder, you can see a C-3PO and R2-D2 in the hieroglyphics.

Being as famous as Tom Cruise is can impact on other actors around you. There's a scene where Cole, played by Cruise, is walking with Rowdy Burns and his wife, in which both she and the doctor both call him 'Tom', and not 'Cole'.


In First Class, Professor X is made handicapped in 1962 at the end of the movie. In the previous X-men movie, he was walking when he visited the girl (Jean) in the mid 70s with Magneto.

In Tombstone when Curly Bell is drunk and out in the street shooting in the air he shoots more than 20 times with two 6 shooters and still has ammo left to shoot the sheriff.

SIAP, but Jurassic Park.

99.9% of the movie the T-Rex can be heard miles away. Makes buildings, water, etc. shake. While running from the Raptors at the end, they get to lobby of the visitor center. Out comes a T-Rex, quiet as a mouse.

Also, Die Hard.

Bruce Willis's shirt gradually turns to green until the final scenes, where it's back to its original color.

I noticed that! I was working at a movie theatre at the time and I was like, "Damn, he only has 12 bullets. WTH?"

The new True Grit is suppossed to be based west of Ft. Smith, AR and it looks like they are on the frozen tundra, then the Grand Canyon the next day. Not even close to what that part of Oklahoma looks like or the climate

Also True Lies, when arnold is fighting the terrorist in the bathroom it shows a stall door with bullet holes and you can obviously see that they are taped on, not sure how that got missed but it bothers me every time

Tell No One has a pretty good one at the end of the movie where you can see a crew member trying to run off camera after pushing a deer out for the scene.

Except for everyone in Scotland.

So, in 200 years will it be okay to make a movie about D Day and leave out the beach?

Much better than the first one. The first one was shot in Colorado in the Rocky Mountains.

I actually thought the new True Grit was pretty good in that respect given that it was shot in New Mexico. It looks a lot like it does over around McAlister. And yeah, it gets plenty cold over there.
