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. |

Wait...Even though in the book, Red Is described as imaginary.
It still doesn't add up because he absolutely has to be real.
1:Red get's a in-jail Job.
2:Red is seen talking to one of the guards
3:That scene where he talks to the lawyers to see if he's 'Rehabilitated'
4:He lives in halfway house and the movie focuses on him for quite a bit..
5:He get's dropped off by a friendly truck driver who gave him a ride, and furthermore, physically picked up a rock to find the money and directions. Last time I saw it, Imaginary friends don't pick up rocks. (And if they did, Preschoolers would be a lot more terrifying then they already are)
Okay...We've all seen it. (or not hah)
But still, I am more confused then when I watched 'A Very Brady Sequel'.
WOW! The angry comments are even better than the article! It's a joke! Even number 1
Best. Comments. EVER.
But seriously, I hope most of you work in the same building and a plane flies into it tomorrow.
Wait, Red was supposed to be IMAGINARY?!?!?
This is just ignorant, the movie is based on the epic poem of Homer in Ancient Greece. In the epic poem, the "Iliad", Odysseus of the Greek army finally comes up with the plan to make a Trojan Horse. The Trojans see it as a gift to Posiedon for the trip back to Greece, the Trojans take it in to the city to use the luck of the gift for their own good. Odysseus wanted this to happen, when the time was right, they came out & opened the gates. The directors of this film didn't come up with this, they were going on what they read, you retarded dibshit, oh and by the way, the trojan is actually no longer myth. The city of Troy has been found, in North Western Turkey not too far from the coastline. Evidence of war has been found around the wrecked city, arrow heads, armor, daggers, swords, spearheads...etc. So their you go, a little history...u douchebag.
I didn't get it was a joke until the Obi-Wan one, and even then I wasn't sure if some of the others might be true. You pulled a fast one on me Bucholz, I'm impressed.
Wow . . . I just . . . wow.
I've read the comments from 30 Reasons Eminem is Bad for Music, and now this . . .
I hate humanity more than ever, and am actively rooting for an asteroid to change course and come wipe us all out, just to get rid of all the rest of you.
Bs on shawshank show were in the book were it says reds imaginary!
Oh, man. I didn't know this was a joke until #16. Which means I do more with my life than just watch movies, I guess.
PMSL. I can't believe some people didn't realise this was a p*ss take!!!
a couple of these have valid points, but the commentary is just f*****g hilarious.
BTW @ Arkan: Troy is based on a real story like Dracula was based on a real story. It related to a war that happened entirely differently, and was adapted from the Iliad by Homer, the poet. The movie was based on an epic poem that was a "mythology-izing" of a war, you degenerate douchebag. There were no damned wooden horses used in the actual battle, Ares was not shanked, Zeus wasn't a complete a*****e, and there were no emo-demigods running around. The wooden horse part was fiction. Say it with me... FICTION.
/nerd rage done
Hey, #1 is a true story! The Troy city was burned by a Trojan Horse attack. That's why most viruses that disguise as normal applications now are called Trojan Horses.
I too googled Shawshank during my first WTF moment of this article. I then had 18 more. Not entirely sure what the aim of this article was but, you know, whatever does it for you.
I am totally loving this comments section. It trumps many of the best YouTube ones I've read. Thank you, and please keep churning out the funny.
Half of this is very funny.
The other half is sub par, barely rating as amusing sarcasm.
A shame.
f*****g hilarious. the comments are f*****g hilariouser, thats why safety glass was there!
This article was good but the comments are even funnier, obviously a list that tells you Chris Tucker was a stand in for Oliver Reed is laced with sarcasm. Though to be honest I did google Shawshank Redemption after reading the first one.
..."some of them are blatantly wrong?" Have you ever heard of sarcasm? I'm sure you cleared a lot up for the people who thought Indiana Jones played Han Solo in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
A lot of these are completely, blatantly wrong (particularly the claim that Red from Shawshank was an imaginary friend). Also, the snake from Raiders of the Lost Ark was a REAL SNAKE, that's why the SAFETY GLASS was there (so Ford wouldn't be harmed). Just thought I'd let you know the facts. Please don't write any more crap like this.

You know what, Forget my last rant/comment.
This is probably the best article ever written.
Why?
Because this was obviously written to confound and anger the readers.
Hat's off to you cracked writer RobotMan...You have completed a Cobra-worthy
Evil plot to confuse us...
Haha.
