The Most Obvious Goof Of All Time?


Name the most obvious goof you have ever noticed in a movie

I think the "road changing" deal in Twister is the most famous.

Otherwise, switching what's her face for Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs 2 was a pretty damn noticeable goof.

RUSH HOUR 3

In the scene where Lee(Jackie) is fighting Kenji on the Eiffel Tower at one point Jackie jumps down and he clearly has on some sort of sneaker with a wild random tread pattern. Then in the next scene were the shoes are shown again the bottom has a tread that is very symmetrical horizontal lines.

For those who have the dvd it is the scene approximately 1:11:00 assuming all of the dvd's are programed/timed the same length.

reply

Yeah, but is that the MOST obvious?

Probably in the Jagged Edge where Glen Close's attorney character changes suits three different during the court room scene.

Except that's not a "Goof". It was edited from the best takes from a few days shooting, and believe it or not the producer/director/editor didn't care about the color change as much as getting the "best" performance.

I know one of the producers personally, and this is a story he tells all the time.

reply

Just because the director did not bother to correct it and left in the best performances does not mean that it is not a goof. It is a goof that was intentionally uncorrected and left in.

Or did (in story) the attorney magically change clothes or strip down in front of the Jury?

It's not a 'goof' if it is intentional. No one makes that kind of mistake on a set... not only are there several wardrobe people those costume changes had to go through, the script supervisor would have to approve the costumes. What happened, in my professional opinion, is that the scene was originally several scenes set over several story days and the director had to condense them into one scene to stay within the delivered cut time. It happens. That is not a goof. That is a weighed decision.



It is better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

So, following your logic, there are no such things as goofs. As all such 'goofs' are in fact decisions to leave in the 'mistake' in the final edit in favour of the best take.

Got it!
