Mine is ninjas wearing bright neon colors. Damn near every ninja movie from the late 80s early 90s is guilty of this. I even remember one where they put the "boss" ninja in some kind of glittery silver getup too. Gah!

In Gladiator when they show the man with a cell phone in his pocket.

Where was that in the movie?

Lots of stuff in Braveheart. Like when he is dressed as the soldier and runs w/o a sword to meet his wife. When he gets to the grove he has a sword.

I always like the makeup/costume goofs.

Example 1: Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade - First shot of Harrison Ford in the movie shows blood coming out of the right side of his mouth. Cut away from Ford and then cut back shows blood coming out of the left side of his mouth.

Example 2: The Mummy - In the tomb of the Mummy, you see Brendan Fraser with a leather wristband on. Cut away and then cut back, wristband is gone.

Example 3: One of those bad movies they show on MST3K (can't remember the name) - Actors playing alien monsters roaming around in the woods with only the alien head and a black body suit on! They forgot to put the alien body suit on! Mike and the 'bots started screaming, "They just don't care!"

Or one of the battles, he is running with his sword in his hand then a second later on his back then in his hand then on his back

the 7,000 round handgun magazine.

In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan normally has his braid on the right side of his head. There is one scene on Tatooine where the braid is on the LEFT side of the head. Whoops.

oh, and sound travelling in space.

DaveSimmons · Mar 27, 2003

Any number of 80's / 90's action movies where the hero uses one weapon for awhile, gets bored with it, throws it away to switch to another one he's carrying (instead of another 10 clips for the first weapon).

Same movies, never bothering to pick up spare guns, clips off all the people he shoots so that later in the movie the one gun he hasn't thrown away can jam or run out of ammo.

John Woo isn't guilty of this, his guys switch guns so they can keep firing 20 pistol rounds a second without bothering to reload

Mission Impossible Two

- You cannot possibly be carrying around masks of all your enemies in your back pocket

- You don't jump off a motorcycle to fight with someone who is jumping off their motorcycle to fight with you

- The gun in the sand that just magically appeared would not just magically fall into your hands off the earth when you stomp on it

- Tom Cruise is NOT cool; whereas the movie thinks he is cool

I would state some of the other 1000s of flaws, but thankfully, lsd, pot, and alcohol have allowed me to erase some of the memories of that crappy crappy movie.

I just can't stand movies that leave me with so many unanswered questions.. it puts me into an infinite loop of frustration.

Kadarin · Mar 27, 2003

Some website had a huge list of goofs from Minority Report.. like how he kicks out the window of the car, then later stands on that same window. Or when he's in the car assembly factory and they build the car around him and he just drives away, with no indication of what happens to all of the other cars that are built there; right out of the factory, he's cruising on the highway (without even having to get gas).

I would say this is one of my biggest complaints.

Maybe its one reason why I really like "The Way of the Gun". The gun battles in it actually have a bit of realism (guys reloading, missing like crazy at close range, etc...)

Also in that motorcycle part you can see that they bikes have street tires on them when they're on pavement, but once they hit the dirt they magically have dirt tires. There are plenty of closeups on them too

Oh, and my biggest gripe is how a small fenderbender in an action movie results in two huge fireballs. What's more, they explode from the cab out, as though the bad guy and the parked car each had 50 gallons of gasoline sitting in the passenger seat.

Gand1 · Mar 27, 2003

Wow I can't believe no one mentioned it yet!

NAWS!!

Oh how I hated that movie.

Gand1 · Mar 27, 2003

You fortunately did not see the movie "Need for Speed" where every one was yelling "He's got Naws!" (NoS - Nitrous Oxide) It was truely annoying!

Gonad the Barbarian · Mar 27, 2003

Might not be a goof, but if they explained it in the movie I missed it:
How did Gandalf get his staff back after his fight with Sauramon in FotR?

LOL...that one gets to me too. That's why I love how they always make fun of that on the Simpsons.

The window he's standing on is on the other side of the car. The car has rotated when it switched tracks.

The other cars are driven to a storage area. He doesn't need gas because those cars run on electric motors.

The entire movie 'Speed 2'.

List common movie goofs that make no sense.
