Films with the most mistakes/continuity errors etc

[OABJYU]

What are the films with most blindingly obvious mistakes/continuity errors/bad framing etc in your opinion?

One of the worst/obvious for me is Highlander II where two different sword fights are edited together to make it look like it's one.

Lol funnily enough I never noticed this when watching Highlander and only found out reading about it afterwards. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention!

Good observation.

In Return of the Jedi from 1983, the Emperor dies. 36 years later in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, he's suddenly alive again.

No, but watch movies where actors have bangs of hair in front of their face, like Tom Cruise for example. Then look at the next shot where it goes back to the actor, and often the hair is at a different spot or angle, and there is no wind and their hands are still on the table or holding an item.

That is a tough one to control I bet.

They fixed it in the Renegade Cut/Special Edition.

Jurassic Park!

The T-Rex comes out of the fence on level ground with the road then when the heroes go through the hole in the fence there is no level ground at all, just a straight drop over the TOPS of a forest of trees.

Later, while the others are investigating, Jeff Goldblum is sitting injured in the Jeep. The Jeep is on the road by the fence. He says, “I’m fairly alarmed here.” Then instant cut to the Jeep being in the middle of the forest when he begins gesturing with his arms and saying, “Come on, we got to get out of here, now, now!” These errors are so glaring that I have no doubt if it were released today the Internet would never get over it and treat Jurassic Park like it was Ready Player One.

Fortunately, the movie was already a beloved classic before fanboys started using the Internet.

Not a film but Season 5 of Arrested Development was riddled with obvious dubbing errors.

Han Solo's vest, a big thumb in the eye during the most romantic moment in Empire Strikes Back- "I love you" "I know"

The Dark Knight Rises

Nolan never saw a plothole that he didn't stop and jump both feet up into.

I love the classic Bond films but some of them are bad for continuity errors and Thunderball is the worst. The scene where Bond is searching for the plane in the Golden Grotto, Felix Leiter can be seen alternately wearing shorts and black pants (trousers) in different shots; when Q is giving Bond his gadgets there is a weird glitch when he says "Obviously you... swallow it" where his mouth clearly isn't moving; when Bond yells "Now move" to Quist, it's obviously dubbed over because it doesn't match Bond's temperament during the rest of the scene; the back projection during the climax in the hydrofoil version of the Disco Volante is sped up to the point it looks ridiculous and a few other small ones here and there. I know they were under the gun to get it finished on time but looking at it now, it just seems so sloppy at times.

And all these years I thought he said, "I'm fairly unarmed here."

I nominate this film....

I never noticed that until Lucas fixed it for the SEs. That's one of the many changes I think actually added to the film, instead of taking anything away.

That's not a mistake though. The place where the T-Rex comes out of the paddock is not the same as the one where one of the jeeps is flipped over into a cliff. It's nearby.

They could have done a better job at showing the audience what the entire area looks like in order to avoid any confusion, but it is what it is.

Even though it was "fixed", it was technically not a mistake either, but a simple illusion due to the lighting in that shot making the shoulder area more dark compared to the rest.

Love the film, but the constantly changing mask is extremely annoying.
