Obvious continuity errors in movies

[sms_117b]

Doesn't Bender end up breaking the universe? Also, I have never seen the beginning, so does it explain why he doesn't just travel to the future and get awesome stuff? What they did in BBS was tie up the lose plot points that occur, which many people don't do in the first place.

Yes, yes he does. Spoilered in case someone on here hasn't seen it yet, which I doubt.

It's explained that the machine code can only send you backwards in time, Bender goes and waits in caverns underneath Planet Express until the year 3008. They also say the machine code has a paradox resolving equation leading to doom factor

Any movie with time travel will mess up the mechanics at least once. The number of mistakes is proportional to the time spent explaining how time travel works.

True, although I thought Benders Big Score done rather well.

BBS is consistent with itself but not with any of the rest of Futurama. Important questions remain along the lines of "how did no-one notice hundreds of Benders hiding in the basement for thousands of years?" and "how did no-one at the cryogenics place notice that there were two (identical) people in one cryotube?"


My own personal continuity error was one I spotted in Tomorrow Never Dies, the Bond film with the car being driven by remote from his phone. During that rather lengthy combat/chase sequence in the carpark, Bond pops up the rocket rack on the roof of the car. Clearly visible at this, and previous moments in the films, are at least six rockets. He fires two. The scene continues, much mayhem ensues and Bond ends up trying to leave via the ground floor garage exit. It is closed and locked so he pops up the rocket rack again - but alas only two rockets remain. 6 - 2 = 2. Fail.

The machine code resolved all paradoxes! Muwahahahaha

No, really I've no idea about them.

The bit in mission impossible (2 I think) where Tom cruise's bike changes a fair few times.

Also in watchmen when Rorschach founds the body of the guy with pionty ears (I think is Moloch or similar, i really should know this because I loved both the comic book and film) the gun changes from revolver to a more standard modern day handgun (sort of desert eagle in shape). And when John (Dr.Manhattan) is talking about how he reassembled him self he mentions "a circulatory system appeared" and what appears is nothing like one, maybe the nervous system

Also in Dark Knight, when the Joker comes up to Bruce's penthouse: After the Joker drops Rachel from the building, and Batman saves her...we never know what happened to the Joker. I assumed he just went back into the party and had a colorful time with the rest of the guests.

Yeah I wondered about that too after I saw the movie...

On topic: What ever happened to Barricade at the end of the Transformers movie? He just disappeared from the final fight, never to be seen again...

My guess is he escaped to the sequel. Time will tell, though.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Start of Helms Deep. Aragorn come running up all bedraggled and exhausted, to tell Theoden and everyone else that ten thousand Uruk-Hai are behind him and will be at the fortress by nightfall. Then elves arrive just before the uruk-hai and help to fight them.

Hold on a minute. The Rohirrim only found out about the attack a few hours ago. How did the elves manage to hear all about it, assemble an army and march from god-damned Lothlorien to Helms Deep faster than the uruk-hai could cover a few miles?

as far as i remember the messanger would have been sent a while before aragorn got there.
don't quote me, i've had LotR on my shelf for a long time now and it's get a nice collection of dust going.

Deadpool in the new Wolverine movie. From the initial cast, trough the bad scrip and in the end just fucking up the role. Just plain screwing one of the few cool things Marvel has made.
And yes I am not a big comic fan, Deadpool is kind of exeption from the rule.
(The elevator scene does not count)

Man, Ryan Reynalds was damn good as Deadpool, I think he was the perfect match, but once the mutant Deadpool showed up, THATS when it turned completely pants on head retarded.

 

[Anachronism]

Seriously, watch any Uwe Boll movie. The direction and editing is just absolutely pitiful; there are continuity errors in all of his films, and there are so many of them as well! It honestly seems like they didn't even bother to check these things before they released them.

House of the Dead is possibly the biggest offender, where it switches between raining and not raining depending on the camera angle. Slightly later, one of the characters wields dual Desert Eagles, and a split-second later is holding a sawn-off shotgun. It makes no sense!

Men In Black 2; after K gets de-neuralized, wouldn't he remember everything about the Light of Zartha if he used a neuralizer to forget it in the first place? Or does the neuralizer create mental partitions?

While I really don't want to sound like i'm defending that film, my understanding was that k wiped his own memory after hiding the light, and that deneuralising in a homebrew basement knock-off was only enough to give him some of his old self back.

I think my favorite one of these has to be from Independence Day. It always seemed a little odd to me that the First Lady was in a helicopter that crashed when DC blew up, yet Will Smith's character's wife manages to find her while driving around ruined Los Angeles. I don't know, just seems like something's not right there, ya know?

I've never noticed that before, but then all my attention went to the mac compatible alien spaceship.

Mac compatible aliens! That was the best part indeed

Terminator 3

Completely undermines T2's message that "we're in control of our destiny". Instead, according to T3, judgement day is inevitable, effectively making the previous films pointless. What a load of shit.

like in Terminator 323214213421
the MC robot is shot at by a terminator at first but then when he goes to the main lab place they let him walk in

Wait, what?

Yeah, I probably should have spoilered that.

Okay then, that solves that. Time travel seems to be a popular story, but so many people try to make it make sense, which is a recipie for fail.

the newest T movie. The guy (Marcus), is shot at by a terminator near the beginning. He yelled to it and it turned and started to shoot at him. Later he finds out that hes a T-robot and he just walks into the lab.

I cant type this out properly because of the long words and the stupidity of it all.

It has many good errors.

Why Wolverine is now 6 foot tall when he was always called "Shortie". Seriously, I know Hugh Jackman is good at playing him, but that's nearly Plan 9 from Outer Space hole-size.

 

[all the tramps]

Terminator salvation---they shouldnt have got christian bale to play as john conner, i mean jhon conner is meant to be a normal guy, not a muscley tough speaking hard man, that instantly ruined the film for me

 

[sirdanrhodes]

The entire Terminator franchise...

The only way I can think of explaining that, is at the time when they let him walked into the compound. He was clearly a robot.

During the other scene, he was still human skinned. But Skynet probably should have nailed that stuff after tens year tbh
