The Top 19 Movie Blunders of All Time
#19. "Disappearing Hero" (Top Gun)
In the final moments of the movie Top Gun, Maverick (Tom Cruise) is congratulated by the aircraft carrier's deck crew. He is then hoisted into the air on their shoulders. When he is lowered, he is now wearing sunglasses, has blonde hair, and is played by Val Kilmer.
#18. "Ghost Gaffe" (The Shawshank Redemption)
In The Shawshank Redemption, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. During his story of torment and personal redemption he is consoled by Red (Morgan Freeman), an imaginary friend only he can see. Yet in several scenes, other characters can be seen looking directly at Red, and even reacting when he speaks.
#17. "Missing Line" (Casablanca)
Humphrey Bogart's famous phrase from Casablanca, "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time" is never actually uttered in the film.
#16. "A Tale of Two Actors" (Star Wars)
Following a beard-related argument with George Lucas, Ewan MacGregor stormed off the set of Star Wars: Episode III and never returned, forcing Lucas to recast to the role of Obi Wan Kenobi for the next film. Lucas eventually settled on Alec Guinness to replace MacGregor-but despite ILM's advanced CGI magic, the 50-plus-year age difference between the two actors is quite noticeable .
#15. "Celeb Screw-up" (Footloose)
In Footloose, Kevin Bacon fights for his right to be Kevin Bacon in a small town. The only problem: Kevin Bacon is an internationally famous actor, yet no one in town seems to recognize him.
#14."Murderous Mistake" (Lethal Weapon 2)
In Lethal Weapon 2, Sergeant Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) bravely shoots an unarmed South African diplomat in the head, even though he has diplomatic immunity. Yet in Lethal Weapon 3, surprisingly little time seems to have passed, considering the 25-year jail sentence Murtaugh would have received for this unjustified murder.
#13."Sand and Sandals Slip-up" (Gladiator)
During the filming of Gladiator, Oliver Reed stormed off the set before the film was completed, following a beard-related argument with director George Lucas. This forced the film crew to shoot many of the final scenes with his stand in, Chris Tucker. The filmmakers made no attempt to conceal the sudden switchover.
this article is just stupid. a lot of the jokes aren't even (what i would class as) jokes, they are just the writer making stupid comments that make no sense. (and let the thumb downs commence cos people dont like my opinion)
Replydid i just get trolled
ReplyThis ws dumb, not one of these "blunders" was an actual movie blunder just some stoner kidds smartass sense of humour whilst everyone knows teenagers and stoned college children have terrible humour
ReplyWow. I'm glad I waded through that crap to get to 5, because that was great (and more or less what I was thinking when I saw the movie; plus it was an obvious joke, older than Shakespeare-- the one that looks like crap is the treasure, haha). The rest of it...sheesh, try to stay awake when you write, Mr. Bucholz.
ReplyFuckbunkies.
Reply(Nevermind this post, I didn't mean to post it)
ReplyI didnt get this article, was it for real or a joke???
ReplyWow, that's the most epic trolling of film buffs I've ever seen...
ReplySince Oliver Reed died during the filming of Gladiator, I found that reference to be in poor taste, but the rest were pretty good.
Replywas this article like Norm Macdonald's comedy central roast performance.... where it's funny when you "get what it was." ?
ReplyO.o Tard. There's more than one of Arnold's type of Terminator. And yes, that IS explained in the friggin' movies.
Reply Hide All See All 3 Repliesf*****g SERIOUSLY?!? Lex, there's a type of thing called a "joke." It's a bit complicated to explain here; you know that friend you have who is always saying stuff that's outrageously wrong, causing your other friends to have some kind of bizarre breathing problem? Ask that guy about "jokes," you're missing out.
Oh, and one more thing: THAT'S THE ONLY ONE OF THESE ENTRIES THAT DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT TO YOU?!?
Yeah... some people are really not bright. Right, Alexia?
Hey MisterTwist...you're an idiot.
This would've been 100% better had the entire article been written like the first three entries.
ReplyWhat a strange article.
ReplyThis is the biggest pile of shit.I gave up at #7, having read that far in the hopes that I might find something redeeming. No such luck. Chris Bucholz should be publicly shamed for this.
ReplyI gave up on this article after #18. Red was NOT a ghost, he was an actual character (how frequently do ghosts act as the local smuggler?).
ReplyYou slope-browed idiot.
When I read this article, I thought the author intended to be unfunny and drole. However, when I glanced at his previous articles, I realised he's just shit.
ReplyBe sure to spell correctly when criticizing a writer.
Also, you basically just said he "intended to be unfunny and funny."
f**k this s**t
ReplyRed was not a Ghost. he was a real man. honestly
ReplyI think that's the part when I noticed these were "joke" mistakes films made
Yah that was bloody terrible.
ReplyThe ones that fail do so HARD. The ones that did land were great. The Kevin Bacon one, then the American Pie beer and Trojan horse ones. I remarked to somebody during Speed that he should have told her the guy looks like Dennis Hopper so she wouldn't have gotten kidnapped near the end. Love the logic about the wooden horse.
