Great Movie Mistakes

by Jon Sandys

Have you seen the stormtrooper banging his head in Star Wars? Did you notice the gas canister in the chariot in Gladiator? How about the missing Spitfire engine in Dunkirk? How did the flyers get into the vault in Ocean's 11? How does Harry Potter change his T-shirt in his sleep? Who's the guy with sunglasses and a cowboy hat in the background of Pirates of the Caribbean? This book collects over 500 great movie mistakes together, 80 with images so you can see them for yourself, and many with the time they occur, making them easier to find in your own copy. Bloopers throughout movie history, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through to Star The Last Jedi. From continuity mistakes to crewmembers in shot to historical errors, over 8 decades, you'll be amazed what you've missed in some of your favourite movies.

A fun read!

I really enjoyed reading this book about bloopers in films. Some of the errors mentioned seem a bit petty to me, but bloopers are bloopers no matter how big or small. It is a must-read for all movie buffs.

The book examines a variety of movie mistakes. This includes specific movies and some photos are also included. The types of mistakes include:

Visible movie equipment
Factual errors
Plot holes
Revealing mistakes
Character mistakes
Deliberate mistakes
Other mistakes

This can be interesting at times but if you are not familiar with some of the movies it can also be boring at times.

Fun....

.....but poorly written and at times incomprehensible. I did enjoy it, however, as I enjoy anything having to do with film.
