Most annoying film for mistakes

Sauron wouldn't have any way of seeing them coming and wouldn't have time to react, and he wouldn't be expecting it. At the start of the story he doesn't even know the ring has been found and he can't comprehend anyone wanting to destroy it either. And eagles can obviously fly out of bow range.

The eye sees all, only way they got through his lands was because of a distracting, hmm suppose they could have done the same thing early on lol

Sorry, one of my all time favourite lines....just had to have right and in full :D

================
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

In gladiator, apparantly theres a guy walking around in the forest at the start, before the battle, wearing a plaid jacket and jeans, haven't seen it myself, despite looking for it, but i read it in the in flight magazine a few years ago :o
 
:mad: OK the part in Independence Day when Jeff Goldbloom decides he is going to the alien ship a virus.... I have never ever watched past this part. I was 14 years old and I was proper disgusted that we were expected to believe Alien ships run Windows or DOS etc...

Have you read the book? The eye of sauron does not 'see all' and he can't detect the ring even when it's moving through Mordor. Sauron has little clue where the party are for most of the story. He wouldn't be interested in one eagle, afterall there are lots of them flying about over Rohan and Gondor, and he wouldn't have a clue what they were up to until it was too late. Trust me, it would have had a very good chance of working, much better than what they did try.
 
I dont know if this is a mistake or what, In Hero theres a serious scene in the middle of the lake in a Gazebo I think, and then theres Jet Li flying about on water in the background doing a crazy dance thing. Me and my mate thought it was hillarious
 
Face/Off... the whole part of the plot involving swapping faces and being healed the very next day.

The Spy Who Loved Me - the Esprit comes out of the sea and 007 drops a fish out of the window... how did the fish get there considering 007 was bone dry?

Commando... when he jumps off the nose wheel of the plane, in the next shot he is falling straight down with no lateral movement.

How about in commando when he sets all the claymors, then he is running away and he sets off the explosion. You can tell that there are no ppl in the shot and they are all just wooden cutouts like that are used on shootign ranges.

Still love the film though... :D Its pure brain out action!

There are loads more, i will have a think...

Here's one for you chaps and will make a nice change to debates about kit.
Come and nominate the film that has annoyed you the most with mistakes.
Personally, I'm going to nominate Armegedon, which is fine to watch once you've disabled your brain, but the first time I watched it, couldn't help but think:
- Why were both shuttles taking off at the same time, is that so that if one exploded on take off, that it might take the other with it, thus instantly stopping any chance of saving the world
- When they did get to the Russian space station, it was patiently waiting for them. Just prior to docking, the space station was then "spun to create gravity", thus making it seriously difficult to dock with.
- When disembarking from the shuttles to the space station, surely the crew should have been climbing ladders, not walking on the floor?

That's before you start asking inane questions about why the rover unit needed a gatling gun in space?

Anyone else?

Wasn't that the sun causing them? As they were so close? Can't really remember.

One thing that really annoys me, its not a film but an advert. The orange advert about the city blackout, apparently theres been a blackout and no lights. Everyone is using torches/candles. Yet about 3/4 of the way through it shows a cinema with one HUGE spot light on outside...............
 
Cant believe nobody has mentioned swordfish yet

1) why the hell does he need a pair of 45mbit lines to upload probably a 1mb virus ?

2) why the hell does he need 10 monitors to write a virus

3) what's with all the cubes ? since when was virus writing in any way slightly graphical. When The Matrix showed you trinity hacking into the power station, they at least showed you a linux commandline

4) what's with the cubes not grouping together. You write a virus, yes it takes time, but you dont find out if a virus works or not by seeing if lots of pretty cubes glue together or not

5) how exactly did the police know he had a pair of T3 lines into the house, and why does this mean he has to be up to no good ? he could just be downloading lots of porn :D

6)at the start of the film, he prooves his hacker prowess by hacking into a government website in under 2 minutes ... by brute force. Exactly how would you crack a government website by brute force. You couldnt just type passwords as fast as your fingers would type. It would need to attempt to check this each time. And im damn sure any government website would just lock you out after 4/5 failed attempts.

7) he pulls an M249 from the boot, and promptly proceeds to stand there with it on full auto. With no recoil, and manage to hit his target by doing nothing more than holding it with 1 hand. me thinks not.

i could go on.... the whole film was ridiculous from beginning to end

Films about computers would be boring as hell if all it was was a linux command line... Who wants to watch that? Not me.

im not suggesting the film be about a linux commandline

just that when they show him creating a virus, stick a bit of source code on the screen, and have him sat down at a normal computer

there was no need for anything that they did, it was just stupidity beyond words.

Tis called proxies and brute force programs. ;) Although they wouldn't work anything like that. :eek:


I have issues with various films, can't think of any at the moment...

The Matrix Revolutions...the whole notion of zion, stupid kids wheeling around ammo crates, massive gun robots with a totally exposed pilot seat, and loads more i cant remmebr atm.

the matrix was science fiction though, so none of it is actually real.

bit like somebody saying that star trek is silly because ther's no such thing as photon torpedo's :D

Die Another Day & The World is Not Enough - John Cleese is R in world is not enough, but he is Q in die another day. Go figure.

No mistake there from what I can see.

In 'The World is not Enough', Desmond played Q and Cleese was another scientist working with Q called R.

After Desmond passed away, Cleese became Q in 'Die Another Day'. They even mention his predecessor in the film to ackowledge that he isn't just Q played be another actor.

It's the same as the fact that the head of the real MI6 signs the name C on documents, regardless of the name of the current head.
