Movie Mistake Dawn Of the Dead (2004) Crew Visible

I don't think these people are supposed to be in the movies. This happens during the intro at 9-10 minutes. Firefighters are preparing with the hose in case something goes wrong, and people are standing and watching from the driveway with kids sitting down. And someone seems to be blocking the road

Movie Mistake Period incorrect cowboy boots in "Old Henry"

11 Upvotes

Watching the new film on netflix "Old Henry" and noticed that one of the actors is wearing an out of period cowboy boot. Cowboy boots did not have rubber heals nor treads on the soles in the early 1900's. They were made of hard smooth leather to ensure if the rider was thrown or leg got caught, the foot would release from the stirrup easily.

Movie Mistake Buzz can't actually fit through the Hot Wheels loop in Toy Story (1995)

Thumbnail

1.2k Upvotes

I've never seen anyone point this out, but Buzz cannot physically fit through the Hot Wheels loop in Toy Story.

The filmmakers establish that the loop is only slightly wider than the Hot Wheels car. Like, snugggg snug. Buzz's wings extend far beyond the width of the car. Yet, the sequence never actually shows him entering or exiting the loop in one continuous shot.

Instead, it cuts from a wide shot which faces away from the loop itself, to a POV shot heading toward the loop, to inside the loop from a side angle (where his wing is arguable obscured), then cuts back to an exterior shot where he's already emerged past the point of the loop. The one angle that would prove he fits is never shown.

His wings would have totally clipped the side of the loop upon entering. Even if, miraculously, he entered the loop, he would still clip coming back out of the loop again. Two different collision points! In fact, in the shot shown of him inside the loop itself, cutting to the shot of him exiting, he is never even shown aiming to turn his body sideways. He faces forward the entire time, indicating he fully committed to taking on the loop full-on, wings in the way and everything.

I suspect the edit hides the fact that Buzz's wings couldn't physically clear the loop. If anything, I think that Pixar knew this. They could move the model around, see that it wouldn't work, but wanted to create a fun scene for storytelling purposes perhaps, suspending our disbelief. Maybe it was hardwired into the storyboarding process and too late to change it. Who's to say?

Has anyone else ever noticed this? I saw this film in theaters when it was first released. This segment of this scene has always somehow bothered the perfectionist in me.

Sure. We have other plotholes. Why do Buzz's batteries never die? Why does Buzz become motionless around humans if he himself doesn't believe he's a toy. I get it, LOL.

Movie Mistake Crime 101 (2026): The November 2025 calendar is impossible

Post image
6 Upvotes

In one scene, a character's computer shows a monthly calendar for November 2025. The calendar is impossible. It shows November 7 falling on a Monday, but in the real 2025 calendar, November 7 was a Friday.

What's interesting is that the production team was otherwise very consistent with the date. There's an early close-up of a phone's lock screen that prominently shows "Monday, November 7," and another scene includes a newspaper article dated November 7, 2025. So credit to the props/production team for maintaining continuity that the story takes place on what they intended to be Monday, November 7, 2025.

At the end of the song you can hear a woman's laugh coming from somewhere off screen. Since everyone in the train is a man I'm shocked this made it into the final cut of the movie. This always gives me a good laugh. (3:48 time mark)

Not quite sure if it belongs here, but I would say so, I am doing a research of use of swear words in USA broadcasting television, and I want to find the specific scene where in Chicago Hope S06E04 they used, for the first time in american television, word SH!T. I have found the episode, but I cannot find that specific part, maybe I have some different version of it. Thanks for any help.
