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.
I didn't realize this was a joke until the Obi-Wan Kinobi one because I haven't seen any of those movies.
Replythe worst thing about this article is it's a reprint from a year previous (2006)
ReplyNope. Try again.
ReplyThis seems like a good thread on 4chan, a place where I only expect bitter assholes like me. This is a comedy site, a place where I expect funny.
Replydunno if this was supposed to be a parody of one of their normal articles, because parody is supposed to be funny. maybe this is funny by not being funny when its supposed to.
ReplyHow did this get published? Seriously! Cracked is running out of ideas, I think.
ReplyHow do you know ancient Egyptians didn't put safety glass in their snake pits? Looters probably would have stolen it all.
ReplyI'm sorry, but I have seen Shawshank Redemption atleast a dozen times and 6 times in a row when they do their marathons and I don't recall Red (Morgan Freeman) being an imaginary friend. That is total BS.
Replynone of these are correct, which makes you the joke for not realizing it before commenting. duh. still isn't funny though.
Is there some kind of inside joke i'm missing here. Not funny at all.
ReplyWow I don't know what you guys are talking about I was laughing my ass off at this! The Taxi Driver one, beard-related arguments, the terminator one, wow.
ReplyGreat stuff, Chris:)
*Sigh* This... is just dumb. I mean, I can see the intent, but yeah, it fails. I don't mean to be offensive, buuuut yeeeah.
ReplyWeak, from beginning to end.
ReplyEh. Not good. Either the entries are barely funny at all, or straight up racist.
ReplyMost of this article was racist and unfunny, but some of them "CRACKED" me up...
ReplyThese comments need more bad puns.
why don't the articles have enough bad puns?
Oh come on, don't tell me you didn't laugh at #15
ReplyI didn't laugh at #15 or anything from this article.
Yeah, I've never said this one cracked before, but I hated this article.
ReplyAllot of there stuff in this article is mistaken. Like the terminator, all (what ever design the terminator was)s have the same design so they have the same features.
Glex, this word "sarcasm", do you know just what the f**k it means?
Thank you for putting Shawshank second so we could immediately realize that this is just a silly joke article on a silly comedy website.
Reply...oh wait.
This was fantastic! How have I never read this before? And why is everyone hating on it so much?!
Reply"In Footloose, Kevin Bacon fights for his right to be Kevin Bacon in a small town."
C'MON MAN!! KEVIN BACON!!!
A lot of these joke articles would be improved by real entries.
ReplyFunnier than rape for sure, right ladies?
ReplyNah. Not funnier than rape. Rape can be pretty damn funny. I can say this because I'm female.
we should trust him on this, he is a voice of experience.
