Movie gaff spotting

Posted on by

Cunts who make websites dedicated to faux pas and anachronisms in (usually) classic and groundbreaking films.

So what if some ‘’extra’ in the absolute background of the 1000-man battle scene in Braveheart was wearing a watch? So fucking what?? I genuinely don’t get why folk feel the need to zero in on totally pointless crap like this, trying to spoil the film for the rest of us by taking us ‘out’ of the film…cunts!!

Is it some desperate attempt to validate their existence and prove how exceptionally observant they are? All it does is prove how much of a 22-carat, weapons-grade shitbreathed cunt they truly are.

If I had a mate who was like this, they’d not be my mate. And I’d probably start a vicious cunt-like rumour about them to ensure they are always alone and without human company – these cunts do not deserve that basic human staple, they really don’t.

But this cuntery isn’t just the reserve of the solo, sweaty, cuntwank film-ruiner, even Amazon Prime have got in on the action – they have these little tidbits on their app now.
It totally baffles me.

Die. Die. Die.

The prosecution rests, m’lud.

PS: I’ve been loitering on this site for a month now, pissing myself at the like-minded comments from you guys…and I want in!

  1. The name ‘Alfred Hitchcunt’ has made my day, despite it yet being barely morning. Genius!!

    • Yes, welcome Mr. Hitch. I’d like to remake Frenzy with Jess Phillips in the sack of potatoes.

      What gets me with these film blunders is when train freaks start saying things like the film was supposed to be set in 1949 but the seats in the train had the moquette on the seats which didn’t come in on that line till 1951. They train buff has tons of useless info like that.

      • We could remake The Birds, as an Anglo-American co-production, with the female entirety of the Democrat and Labour parties standing in as the avian aggressors.

  2. True enough, but I’m a fan of those who go the extra mile to lend some authenticity to their work. I’m thinking in particular of the mighty Robert Shaw, who in order to portray the shit-faced drunk Captain Quint in Jaws, regularly got shit-faced drunk.
    Well done, that man.

    • Jaws, one of the best films of all time and one of my faves.

      I always thought he looked pissed in that scene where they compare scars so now I know.

      Great stuff and sooooo much better than those modern films where black guy meets white woman over coffee and hilarity ensues when they try and raise a family, go to yank collage etc before the trainee architect looses it, smokes a shit ton of crack and rapes the whole family before eating them.

      Bring back Cannibal Holocaust.

      • I can’t think of a recent film I’d spend time watching. I recently purchased Battle of Britain on DVD (1969) – a cast of what I consider proper actors – Robert Shaw, Michael Caine, Michael Bates, Ralph Richardson, Dear, Dear Larry, Kenneth More, Edward Fox and Ian McShane.

        One for a Friday night once the munchkins are bedded down.

      • Recently watched Shaw in the Battle of the Bulge and Force 10 from Navarone. Lovely stuff.

      • Expect a remake anytime soon but all the heroes will be architects, camel jockeys, wimminz, darkies and the gays!

      • You should watch Ian McShane in the Asylum episodes of American Horror Show, he’s very good.

      • Battle of Britain? that’s the film that has a couple of Landrovers in it which weren’t actually produced until 1948…… sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

      • Spanky, sounds like Diane Abbot’s wayward son would be a shoo in for that role.

    • Oh agreed! Where is Oliver Reed when you need him – I mean Cumbersnatch vs Ollie – NO CONTEST!

  3. First gaffe…….it’s not spelt “gaff.”
    Second gaffe……they’re films not movies. Unless you are a Yank, in which case you can have that one. 😁

      • Hmm… the bar’s not set very high, is it?

        Morning lads. 👍

      • Morning RTC, the suns shining and not much chance of a riot round here.

      • Well if it is C.S. I hope that he’s not trying to tempt people into botty-bashing or whatever it was that he apparently got up to the other night while pissed.
        It’s a shame that Krav isn’t still around… a hate-fuck pounding off a particularly angry Jewish martial-arts expect might cure him of his desire to partake in all that bumfoolery.

      • …particularly if C.S turns out to be a Dark-Key… ” I bet he likes the taste of black cock…God Save the Queen….that cotton won’t pick itself”

        I miss the appalling Cunt.

      • Ok Kriddler, we get the message.

        🎶 Mammy, mammy, ole man river. 🎶 Yawn…. 🙄

        Good morning. 🙂

      • Yes,it’s a shame that my “Krav” character was deactivated…still.at least I’ve got my other 3 accounts to be going on with.

        non potest omnia….blah,blah,blah….
        Ego preconia uentilasti

      • You’d think the cunt would have better things to do with his time. Got to pity him really.

      • I know who I am Peachy, but do you know who you are?

        Caught Spedding: A more severe case of Multiple Personality Disorder I am yet to encounter. 😃

  4. Although the bloke at the end of Teenwolf (I think it was) with his flies down was funny.

  5. It’s the fault of soshulmeeja giving these cunts way too much airtime, leading to them having to find something they think is original to spout bollocks about. Allows too many people with absolutely fuck-all to say, make a lot of noise saying it.

    As that cunt Gervais said: “Go & watch a fucking documentary!”

  6. The trouble is that they miss the most glaring examples…I saw a film the other night that had a Dark-key who was legally and gainfully employed, sat down at a table with his coloured wife and children to eat a meal using a knife and fork…and most ridiculous of all, the meal wasn’t even fried chiggun. Never in the film did he stab anyone,steal a scooter or run in an Olympic 100 metre event….I mean, come on,film makers I can turn a blind eye to the odd misplaced watch but being asked to suspend reality to such a ridiculous degree is beyond me.

    I even saw one that had Tom Cruise playing a heterosexual…Ffs.. !!!

    • Luckily the film redeemed itself somewhat at the end when the Dark-Key was unmasked as a raper of white women.

      • Unless he was a victim of institutionalised racism and shot to fuck by a copper Suckdick wouldn’t allow that to be shown in Londonistan.

    • Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher! Ho Ho ho! Why the fuck Lee Childs let THAT happen is beyond me – unless it was money of course.

  7. They’re the filmgoer’s version of the trainspotter – geeky cunts with Goofy teeth, anoraks, 1970s NHS specs; dirty finger nails, school uniform trousers that are far too small, and Clarke’s shoes with the shoelaces undone because the cunt doesn’t know how to tie them up!

    I suppose factual information is useful, but pointing out something such as “The second tooth along on the top jaw of that dinosaur is positioned in the wrong direction, and is about 2 inches too short compared to artifacts found in Death Valley, and in particular a spectacular scientific dig in April 1973 by Professor Fuck Face, who discovered an exact same dinosaur but the particular tooth in question was in fact 2 inches longer than the one depicted in this film, Therefore whoever made the tooth for this dinosaur obviously knows nothing about the history or physiology of the dinosaur, and should therefore be fired for gross negligence, because it completely ruined the film experience for me, and I am still finding it hard to recover from such a glaring and obvious error! I am so traumatised that I can’t be bothered with a paragraph or two here, or the odd comma or full stop either. I just can’t get over that error. I need to inform social media right away………….”

    • I like finding mistakes in films, either wardrobe mistakes or historical inaccuracies.
      Used to helpfully share my observations with other cinema goers, but not been the pictures in ages so tell my missus instead.
      Watched a new version of Jack Londons ‘call of the wild’ starring Harrison Ford and a CGI dog on Sunday, call of the wild and white fang were (still are) favourite books of mine growing up.
      Missus Miserable was happy to learn they didnt have mirrored sunglasses😎 in the klondike goldrush, and thrilled when I loudly exclaimed “or fuckin black cunts!”
      I want to be the New Barry Norman.

  8. I have to admit to be being a bit of a cunt in this field I’m afraid only for the sake of continuity. Things like starting a scene having half a pint of lager in the right hand switching to another camera angle and the cunts got now a full pint in the other hand.
    Just fucking lazy direction and a piss poor continuity bod. Who probably gets paid more in a month then I do in a year.
    Apart from that spot on.

  9. There was this superhero film about an advanced African civilisation. Not sure if it was Mali or Nigeria or somewhere. Come on, how could that get past continuity?

    • I saw an equally ridiculous one that claimed that The Dark-Keys got the better of some British soldiers at some place called Isandlwana…I was outraged of course. A more blatant display of left-wing media bias and historical revisionism it would be hard to imagine.

      I immediately wrote to Walt Disney to see if he’s make a more accurate film but he said that unless it involved Uncle Adolf having his house being blown by a wicked wolf with a big nose and a penchant for saying “Oy Vey….how much?” he wasn’t interested….the racist Cunt.

    • It was the highly overrated Black Panther.

      There’s a sequel in the works; Black Panther II: Big Trouble in Minneapolis.

  10. It always used to be a ‘Continuity Girl’ in the credits and what the fuck does a ‘Best Boy’ do?

  11. I imagine a “best boy” is what Anthony Blair had in Alcoholic Ali – a total areslicker, who will lick the boss’s boots and spit poison at everyone else.

    • Come on…….you must know what a best boy is?
      “ten bob a tit and a fiver for his arse.”

  12. I like feel good movies like ‘boy in the striped pyjamas’ or ‘schindlers list’ something you can share popcorn with the family and cheer when the baddies get their comeuppance!!
    That Jeremy Corbyn comes round to watch.

  13. Death Wish 3 for me.
    Fuck knows if there are any mistakes in it.
    Charles Bronson couldn’t give a shit.

    • The last thirty mins of that movie are golden, totally bonkers and I love it.

      The soundtrack is to die for too.

      • Is that the one where old Charlie runs around firing a 30 Cal machine gun from the hip?
        Quality mayhem…

      • Yep, and don’t forget…”Wildey is here”

        That’s the way to deal with thugs and degenrates.

      • ‘Charles Bronson wants his brain to be pickled and put in a museum when he dies. .’

  14. I am spectacularly unobservant. I might just notice Charlton Heston driving a Lamborghini around a Roman amphitheatre, knocking horses over, and think there was something amiss.

  15. I am guilty of this cuntishness.
    In the film Old Gringo, starring Jane Fonda and Gregory Peck, the pair are talking face to face. JF has a plait and from the rear it is seen hanging down her front and from the front hanging down her back. The conversation switches back and forth as does the braid.
    As a graphic designerI also check out for typefaces in films and tv shows that were not in existant at the period. Yes I am a sad cunt.

    • Helvetica inscribed along the perimeter of King Arthur’s Round table?

      A Qu’ran printed in Comic Sans?

      • Ha ha CP.
        I can believe that.
        Mind you, Comic Sans would be ideal for that book of lies.
        By the way it has appeared on tombstones.

  16. Where Eagles Dare is a great film, but it’s full to the brim with goofs and innacuracies…

    A “Gestapo” officer walking around in an SS parade uniform?
    A 1950s Bell helicopter being used by the German army?
    A Sten gun with an easily removable firing pin?
    Fortunately Ingrid Pitt’s knockers make up for all of that, and Fritz gets a proper hiding… 😁

    • Ah yes the never ending magazine from Clints machine gun. Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Danny Boy are you receiving.
      Fucking bet your arse he’s received.

      • Portable radio transcievers didn’t work that well back then either.
        But Jerry gets a kicking so who cares…

    • Fritz should always get a proper hiding – and the second line of our National Anthem should be “two World wars, one World cup”!
      They sure as fuck won the peace though didn’t they.
      Movie gaffe spotting? Bah! I was at a little gathering at Nuremburg some Years ago and when they made a film of it they put me in a mark 5 Panzer instead of a Mark 1, how we all laughed at that one – Uncle Adolf nearly fell off his chair! 👍😁

      • In 633 Squadron, when the earthquake bombs are being trailered onto the RAF base, a white Mini can be seen driving past the gates about 15 years too early.
        In the unofficial sequel “Mosquito Squadron” starring David McCallum, a Land Rover makes a somewhat premature appearance too.

        I’ll get my (anorak) coat, crisps and binoculars…

      • Never saw that. But “earthquake bomb” plus “Mosquito” did not compute – the Mosquito’s bomb load was 4000 lb and the Tallboy was 12000 lb* – and a quick google reveals that the bombs pictured are not Tallboys but thin-cased blast bombs (which the Mosquito could have carried, but would have been useless for the objective stated in the plot).

        There was much, much more wrong with the film and nerds are urged to follow me to Google if they’re interested, which I very much doubt.

        *I actually knew that, and I am not proud of it.

      • K – if the film involved the Hun receiving a good thrashing then all else can be forgiven!
        I wonder how Adolf Merkel’s treatment for Motor Neurone Disease is going?

      • Well she won the Dusseldorf dance competition, so nowt to moan about has she?
        ☺

      • George Chakiris playing a “Norwegian” resistance leader was a bit implausible too…

    • Omar Sharif as Dr Zhivago was another amazing miscast. I like appalling accents – Dick Van Dyke as a cockney, Sean Connery trying to be an Irishman, Michael Caine is supposed to be an American, speaking French in “Mr Morgan´s Last Love”, Mel Gibson as a Glaswegian Braveheart (not bad actually), Anthony Quinn as Zorba the Greek. I also like those Scots toffs who are trying to get rid of their accents and end up sounding as if they are being strangled and castrated at the same time – Michael Gove and Malcolm Rifkind for example.

      • My two favourite ‘worst accents’ are James Coburn as an Aussie in ‘The Great Escape’ (‘cor bladdy gud!’) and Robert Vaughn as a Kraut in ‘The Bridge At Remargen’. ‘Vhere are ze charges un ze bridge?’.
        Robert Downey’s English accent in ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was pretty shite as well.

  17. I watched ‘The Incredible Shrinking Man’ yesterday. It was the mist coming over the sea that caused it. Very depressed about the whole situation. ‘I’m getting smaller’. Decided to keep a journal; writing with a huge great pencil. Terribly frustrated he was. Taking it out on his wife. Better all round he goes to live in the doll’s house. But then his wife carelessly let the cat in. ‘Butch’. Got a sniff of him. Running for his life across the great expanse of living-room floor he was propelled into the cellar. Luckily landing on a box of rags. How to survive? There was cheese on the mousetrap. But when he managed to trigger it the bit of cheese flew off down a drain. Crushing disappointment. But suddenly a renewed determination. More cheese up on a shelf but guarded over by a spider. He got his sewing pin and readied for mortal combat. Titanic struggle but eventuly he stabbed him. He went to the cheese but didn’t want it. A strange calm overcame him. He went up to the grill and looked up at the heavens. His clothes had shrunk again. He was so tiny now he could could climb though it. He stepped though.-into the garden. The infinitesimal and the infinite. He shrunk away.

  18. There’s some piss poor BBC shit about this sort of thing, presented by a succession of wankers. They have to freeze frame and zoom in to show something you’d never notice on a cinema screen, let alone a TV.

    • Piss poor? Shit? BBC? Never thought I’d hear those words in the same sentence!

  19. Watched A Clockwork Orange last night. When Alex is eating the Spag Bol at the end. Half eaten, then at the next camera angle is almost piled up to the ceiling. For a perfectionist like Stanley Kubrick. Still my favourite Director. My favourite two films along with Full Metal Jacket.

    • Bob, maybe someone filled his plate up with more because he was hungry.
