A couple of fun movie lists…

…found in the always amusing Cracked.com.

First up, 26 Huge Editing Errors You Didn’t Notice In Famous Movies:

The #2 goof, taken from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (Sean Connery’s last “official” James Bond outing, assuming one doesn’t consider Never Say Never Again a “real” Bond film), is one of my favorites.  Cracked presents images of the scene in question with the explanation of the goof:

But the best way to see and enjoy this goof is by looking at the entire sequence:

If you’re impatient for the good stuff, fast forward to the 2:29 mark.  James Bond, in the Moon Rover, goes down a hill and one of the cars pursuing him flips over.  However, as it flips and starting at the 2:34 point, you see a wheel rolling into the scene from the left…clearly it is one of the Moon Rover’s wheels that has come off!

Of course, when next we see the Moon Rover it has all its wheels.  So why is this goof still in the film?  I suspect the producers of Diamonds Are Forever didn’t want to waste the time and money (not to mention getting another vehicle to smash) duplicating this stunt and went with the scene as it stood.  They probably hoped the scene went by quickly enough that only if you were paying close attention you’d notice the extra wheel bouncing around amid the mayhem of the flipping car.

Once you do notice it, however, its hard not to un-notice it! 😉

I particularly liked what they said about the movie Dredd.  While many people liked the film, I found the movie decent but…uncomfortable.  When I reviewed it a while back, I noted the Judge Dredd comics I was familiar with were the originals (roughly up to the Apocalypse War) and they featured plenty of humor along with the violence.

For better or worse, one thing the Dredd film lacks is much humor!

However, the insight into the film offered in the above article is interesting.  It re-frames the film in my mind and, I have to admit, allows me to see it in a new light.

As I said, interesting!
