What about the amous shirt changing from White to Brown (or black) in Die HArd.  I got the dvd and then when I saw that scene I was actually questioning if I was asleep or not.  

In Terror Firmer not really a continuity error because it was done on purpose but the conversation between the camera take guy and Casey(if tyhats his name I cant remember)  where everthing is completely out of wack.  

Also in BVlade Runner the dreded 6 escaped replicants became 5.

I have the original Die Hard on DVD and have never noticed it.

What scene are you referring to?

COMMANDO is a work of pure, unadulterated genius! I love this movie! Has there ever been a dumber, more ineptly made film?

my fave scenes from this film are when Arnie takes out two guys with a grenade, and you can clearly see the air rams catapulting them up in the air - no attempt is made to disguise it! - and the bad guy standing by the flower pot who's death is shown five times or so from different angles and passed off as different characters.

Sweat makes the shirt moist. Moisture attracts dust and dirt particles. Airvents usually contain many dust and dirt particles. John was crawling through airvents.

I'll need to read the book, because it's probably explained in it. I always assumed it was just the dirt from the vents clinging to the shirt.

My favourite is from a Western I saw many many years ago on TV:  the hero gallops around a huge rock, followed by the villain  -  who is riding the same horse.  Never fails to crack me up.

There are so many - the clothing and hair ones are very distracting, for me anyway.

*** I was just explaining the nature of how such errors occur. Sometimes people are asleep at the wheel, other times it is just the chaotic nature of the production itself. ***

Ain't that the truth!  I was involved with the Ted V. Mikels' movie MARK OF THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES.  The poor continuity girl gave up midway through the shoot.  During production the videotape camera hooked up to a monitor broke down.  As a back-up Ted used a handheld digital camera in which the timecodes couldn't be seen by anyone on the crew except the operator (Ted).

A simple scene scripted with people running through a parking lot got expanded upon by Mikels.  The scene number ran through sub-lettering A to K (with a variation on the action, people, and dialog in each letter subcategory)!

There was also an abduction scene involving Ted's partner, Shanti, as she fought off an Astro-Zombie.  The problem was the scene wasn't scripted and the initial attack featured only one Astro-Zombie.  The abduction of Shanti with two other Astro-Zombies took place on a different day at a different location.  It's subtle because Ted Mikels' used the same angle featuring part of a white building.  The difference being the first shot showed white wooden slats against a house with a shrub on the corner.  The later shot showed a white plaster wall with a tree on the corner.

perk cited:
Also in BVlade Runner the dreded 6 escaped replicants became 5.

I have heard discussion as to the identity of Replicant #6 being Rick Deckard himself.  Apparently there are clues dropped throught the film, but one has to view the film with tireless scrutiny to catch on, and I have never desired to do this.

Then there is Ford's apparent fumble in Raiders of the Lost Ark, after Alfred Molina gets impaled in the openinig scene, and Ford's response is supposed to be "Adios, Satipo"  but instead comes out with "Adios, stupido."  Wheter or not this was intentional is al;so the subject of debate.  But I also wanna know:
While trying to evade the evil Nazi menace, Indiana Jones hops on top of a departing U boat and lashes himself onto the conning tower.  
How the hell did Indy survive the trip on the U boat without being detected on deck?  And without eating?
How did he pee?

My favourite from Eegah! is when Miller is flown to the mountains. The actor playing the chopper pilot has a completely different haircut from the real pilot seen in the exterior shots of the chopper.

My favorite continuity errors are from the show Cover Up with Jennifer O'Neil. In one episode, the models are shown getting into a long, low helicopter with clearly visible wheels. Right after it takes off, there are shots of the standard little Bell Jet Ranger with skids, then when it lands you again see wheels. At the end of the episode, they burst into a meeting to show the bad guy that they've gotten the 5.25 floppy disk with the evidence on it and when they wave it around, you can clearly see that there's no actual disk in it because the light is shining through the oval read/write opening.

In the movie Aces, Iron Eagle II, the Russian 'Migs' are actually American F4 Phantoms.

In Casino a pack of smokes turns into a pager and then back.

I forgot the name of the western but, the good guys were in one of those old hearse wagons so they could sneak up on the bad guys at the cementary but, the bad guys knew their plan so they started shooting at the wagon. One of the good guys grabs his shoulder and says I'm hit. When they get out of the wagon his leg is all bandaged up and people are helping him walk away

The Giant Behemouth : Chopper fluing over river. Starts with a Sikorsky S-3, tricycly landing gear, three seats. But, when it blows up, due to dino radiation, its a much larger 12 seat S-55, with 4 wheels.
Even if your not a "Wing nut" like me, you can still see....they don't look alike!

The Crow: when Eric goes back to his apartment for the first time, watch the crow on the banister - it flaps its wings and makes a sound like it's taking flight, but the shadow never moves.

The Outsiders: When Dally is driving Ponyboy to the hospital, there's a HUGE mud stain on the drivers' side window. When it cuts away to Ponyboy and back again, the stain is no longer there.
