No, this isn't a thread about crappy movies that were a mistake to be made.
My apologies if there has already been a thread like this. Just started this for *****s and giggles.
I was watching my Blu-Ray of Aliens last night, and saw two instances / scenes that were completely wrong.
The first is the scene where Ripley has driven the APC into the alien hive to rescue the Colonial Marines. A fire breaks out inside the APC, and Hudson yells “FIRE IN THE HOLE!”.
Cameron must not have read up on his military jargon when he wrote that scene.
The second instance in the movie takes place before that scene. Ripley and Burke have just informed Gorman that any gunfire could rupture the cooling tanks, and cause a nuclear meltdown. Apone collects all the pulse rifle magazines as well as gadgets from Drake and Vasquez’s smart guns (I guess those gizmos allowed the smart guns to fire). Of course, Vasquez has some back up “firing pins” hidden and gives one to Drake as well. The order is given for flames units only…but then the Marines proceed on, with Drake and Vasquez on point with their smart guns! Apone or one of the other Marines should have noticed this, and Drake was carrying a flame thrower himself.
Another noticeable one occurred in Edward Zwick’s The Siege (an underrated film, IMO). In one scene, they have one of the members of the terrorist cell in an interrogation room. Bruce Willis, Annette Benning, and Denzel Washington’s characters are in the room with Willis’s second in command (a colonel), and they are discussing what methods can be used to interrogate him. As the colonel is going over the various torture methods, the terrorist begins to pray in Arabic. ..there’s a shot of the terrorist praying with the colonel in background standing guard…he’s looking ahead stoically with his mouth closed…but the dialogue being spoken in this scene is from him. A mistake in editing.
So what other movie snafus / mistakes can y’all think of?
