Movie Blunders

Here is a list of the top 19 Movie Blunders of All Time. Being in the entertainment industry for as long as I was, I thought i had heard of them all. The most interesting are:

18) In The Shawshank Redemption, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. During his story of torment and personal redemption he is consoled by Red (Morgan Freeman), an imaginary friend only he can see. Yet in several scenes, other characters can be seen looking directly at Red, and even reacting when he speaks.

12) Also from the film Gladiator, Maximus (Russell Crowe) is a Roman general who only longs to return to his home in Spain and work on his farm. The only problem is people in Spain don't work.

11) In Braveheart, the vast majority of the men are wearing skirts throughout the entire film, but this is never commented on by anyone.

6) A massive editing problem slips into the final cut of Taxi Driver, where Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) repeatedly questions someone off camera “are you talking to me?” The problem is, as a different shot soon shows, no one is talking to him.
