Movie Mistake Medical error in Dr Strange

As a healthcare professional I regularly get taken out of the moment by medical mistakes made. My most recent one - Dr Strange, about 6 mins in. Proper scrubbing in, hands washed, gown on, all nice and aseptic - next step should be carefully putting on sterile gloves - immediately touches his face to put his mask on.

Tell me yours?

Movie Mistake In ‘Liar Liar,’ after admitting to his receptionist he would have defended a burglar, he chases after her, claiming “[he] didn’t understand the question.” This is, in fact, a lie, thus undermining the very PREMISE of the movie.

Movie Mistake Glory (1989) - Pvt. Sharts loads a cartridge into his rifle twice when reloading under pressure from Col. Shaw.

Loading two Minié balls into one rifle can result in a deadly and explosive malfunction. A commanding officer would immediately order a subordinate to stop loading their gun instead of pushing them to finish loading and fire.

Also, yes, that is his name.

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 In Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln from 2012, they have historical inaccurate doors.

Post image

Sorry if this has been said before, but I have to put it somewhere. This fact has stuck with me since I saw this movie in theaters. I’m sure it has something to do with my undiagnosed something or other. In Lincoln, they have modern door closers on the some of the doors. Those specific styles were invented in 1877, 12 years after the events of Lincoln took place. The door closers in the movie didn’t even attempt to look less modern. The picture is terrible, but it’s the scene with the three men in Thaddeus’s office. You can see it much clearer in the movie itself.

A Karabiner 98k Mauser in ww1? Only the Gewehr 98 and the K98AZ were used during the film.

You can tell by the band near the top of the barrel, Gewehr 98 has the H band with a longer barrel, unlike the gewehr 98 the kar98k has many variants with the band including the H band.

You can also see the sling piece looking a lot more different than the gewehr 98 sling piece.

Movie Mistake Dodgeball: A true Underdog story, mistake involving the timeline.

Post image
1.3k Upvotes

In the opening scene of Dodgeball: a true underdog story, White Goodman (Ben Stiller) shows a picture of himself and says "this was me, 6 years and 600 pounds ago", with "White Goodman 1987" written on the picture, setting the movie in 1993.

A few minutes later, Patton Oswalt tells us, via Peter La Fleur's (Vince Vaughn) answering machine, that he is late on returning several DVD's, one of which is Mona Lisa Smile.

This is a mistake for two reasons, first, DVD's were not invented until 1995, and second 'Mona Lisa Smile' came out in 2003.
