BBC Three, Great movie mistakes

I watched a great programme last night on BBC Three called great movie mistakes, Robert Webb exposes many funny continuity co*k ups from a man in jeans from the production team being in the crowd at the Colosseum in Gladiator To a star trooper banging his head on an opening door nearly knocking him off balance in the Star wars franchise.
Although many of the cinematic blunders are from older films many recent productions are also included with many bloopers being spotted throughout.
This was a great programme to watch not just because it was extremely funny but also intriguing to how multi million pound movies can still make the simplest mistakes with continuity and as this was a major concern with our production this programme was a great insight to how hard it can be to keep continuity ticking over but also how many people should just be fired for their lack of common sense substituting a petite school girl Gabriella Montez in high school musical with a much taller and butch stunt double when all she had to do was dive into a pool. I'm all for safety but unless she cant swim, that IS a bit over the top and consequently added to there total of continuity blunders.

If you want to watch the whole programme you can check it out on BBC iPlayer but it is only available to watch until the 11Th of April so here is just a small click of some unexplainable mistakes:
