I watched a film once where Sean Bean made it all the way to the end without dying. That has to be a blooper, right?

I don’t know whether you class it as a blooper, but the TV show, 24 with Jack Bauer, is apparently based on a 24 hour day and yet the clock they show which appears every now and again is always in 12 hour mode

Surely Gandalf didn't wear a watch! Wizards are neither early or late. They arrive precisely when they intended to.

The irony is, David Fincher actually did this in the film itself; there is a fleeting flash of a cock right at the end before the credits roll.

My vote for bloopers go to; the stormtrooper cracking his head on the door frame in Star Wars, and the whole run of them in the end credits of 'Cannonball Run'

couple, us we him her.

There's a difference between a blooper and annoying continuity mistakes,the latter people get payed a lot of money to ensure that these things don't happen yet time and time again.

He's wearing a tie,then he's not then ties back on again.

Drinking a drink glass is full then empty then full,half full full empty......

As already pointed out car crashes smashed up,then it's perfect then smashed then perfect grrrrrr

That really ruins a film for me you get immersed in a film then something stupid happens and it spoils the whole thing.

This one's more continuity than blooper. But in Independence Day when Will Smith pulls the alien through the desert it alternates repeatedly between long shot and up close. In the long shot it's a sky full of clouds, up close it's a beautiful clear blue sky. It amuses me every time

Not necessarily film bloopers but the outakes from Afterlife/Derek/Extras (especially with David Earl in them) are hilarious.

Film. Carl Weathers in Predator when his arm is blown off but clearly held behind his back.

These always annoy me and once seen cannot be unseen..

one that really annoyed me, the scenes in Legend, the Krays film, where they’re at Francis’s flat.. it’s the 60’s and some of the windows are brand new UPVC double glazing. Honestly wouldn’t have taken much to frame them out in preference to the older windows.

Also, not really a blooper, but the 1001 inaccuracies in Dam Busters, yet a certain minority get triggered over one word being omited from any potential remake.

East of Eden, West of Hell

Continuity in films/TV really bugs me.

There's a scene in Friends, where Rachel is sitting at the kitchen table, crying over someone she's just split up with. One moment, she's holding the end of the kitchen roll, which is hanging on the side, next shot, it's all neatly rolled up in the background, then the third shot, she's holding the paper again...

I was watching a film the other day and depending on the shot, the shoulder placement of the girl's dress changed depending on whether the shot was from behind her, on in front of her.

The taxi that almost runs over Dustin Hoffman in 'Midnight Cowboy' was unplanned though. His line "I'm walking here" was ad-libbed, as he wasn't expecting it, but they kept it in the film.

The same bit of chase is used 2or3 times, from different angles - downhill bit (the vw beetle turning right gives it away).

Troy - I remember watching the fight between Hector and Achilles and noticing lots of 'metal' armour rolling like rubber. Turns out they used quite a lot of rubber back then...apparently.

Gladiator - so many extras and mistakes, who knew blue jeans were so popular back in ancient Rome ?

Corrina, Corrina - While Corrina and her sister are talking on the sofa, Corrina's sister puts her arm behind Corrina on the back of the couch, but in the next shot, her hand is down by her side again and again she moves her arm up on the back of the couch in the exact same move. Stunningly obvious, I'm surprised noone noticed !

Not as surprised as when in the following shot her hand is back down once again and she moves it up again for a third time. 😂😂
