Movie Errors.

I think in Panic Room the cameras only had speakers attached. For whatever reason.
The Panel from where the alarm system is programmed (which is outside the panic room ???) has an intercom. Again, for whatever reason.


I think Panic Room mostly had one lousy script that had pretty much everybody do the stupidest think imaginable.  
Like not trying to grap the cell phone when the bad guys are on a different floor, but waiting until they're right next door. Or immediately dropping the cell phone idea when it's not working in the panic room.


The errors I remember most  :

Flammable gas that is heavier than air rising up an air duct and staying on the ceiling. And Jodie Foster having her phase right in the flaming gas and remarkably showing no blisters and even keeping her eyebrows.

Someone spent a gazillion dollars for a having a panic room installed, but the hatch to the roof can be practically sneezed open. Some better locks could have saved a lot of money there.

      This is an old one, but I haven't heard it brought up before.  In "The Giant Gila Monster" there is a scene where a man is driving down the road and looks to the side at the title creature.  I don't know how noticable it is, but you can see the director's reflection in the windsheild pointing at where the actor should look.  Good model work on that film.   Also, in spider man the lamp that gets webbed off the shelf and smashed is back where it was intact in the next scene.

Sometimes its a projecting problem, the frame is playing to low and we see a boom, that happened during a screening of the Steve Miner movie House.

There is a wonderful bobbing boom mike (looks like and Ewoks leg) that bounces into the frame in a couple of shots in Octopus 2: River of Fear.

In Basket Case 2, Dwayne walks into a kitchen wearing a cream colored shirt, in the kitchen he is wearing a powder blue colored shirt, when he exits he is again wearing a creme color shirt.

During the burning of Houston in Irwin Allen's Production of The Swarm, General Slater (Richard Widmark) is watching the inferno through a bee coated window.  Interior shots, with Slater and Crane in the foreground, have the window clear and coated with bees.  Exterior shots of Slater watching the spectacle through the window have the General peering through the slits of venetian blinds, to give him that trapped look, I guess.

During the Houston in Flames sequence, a crashing Ambulance zips from night to day back to night while crashing and exploding.

Speak of booms, there's a fairly obvious boom shot in "Batlle Beyond The Stars" during Robert Vaughn's speech in his hideout

I'm no marine biologist, but is there something wrong with that title?  Something to do with the octopus and its habitat?

Two famous "historical" errors :

In Ben Hur a trumpeter rises his trumpet for a salute, giving us a good view of....his watch.

In Cleopatra an Egyptian bath was already equipped with plastic bathing accessories.


And in both movies, planes pass in the background.
