pictures of rocky horror picture show

welcome to top10archive! don’t you just love sitting down and watchingsome of your favorite movies? wouldn’t it be a shame if someone came alongand, say, kind of ruined the experience by pointing out glaring, inexcusable errors? enter this installment for the 10 most obviousmovie mistakes! we promise, after this archive, you won’tbe able to overlook these noticeable goofs. 10. gotham times can’t spell (the dark knightrises) gotham city is notorious for its slew of villainsand the dark knight rises seemed to birth

one more. of course, we’re talking about the missspeller-er-er! at least, we hope that’s who was being introducedwhen christopher nolan and his team of crackpot editors gave us this gem – a misspelledheadline of the gotham times. maybe it was a call to the complete incompetenceof everyone that’s not batman in gotham city, but chances are it was a grade-a, noticeablegoof. 9. nixon’s resignation (the rocky horror pictureshow) it’s a wonder when movies go out of theirway to set a time period, either by mentioning

the year directly or including a memorableevent from that time or, heck, some movies go so far as to include both. the rocky horror picture show is one suchmovie, and while it’s definitely not one that’s meant to be taken too seriously,it’s hard to overlook nixon’s august 8th, 1974 resignation speech, which plays on theradio while brad and janet are driving along. how can this be considered a mistake, youask? just moments before, the scene is set by thecriminologist as a late november evening. could it just be a rebroadcast of nixon’sspeech? chances are incredibly slim, especially sinceit’s so predominantly heard throughout much

of the scene. 8. transplanted palms (halloween)john carpenter’s seasonal classic halloween is memorable for many reasons. from the william shatner mask that becamea horror icon to jamie lee curtis’ induction into scream queen fame, the 1978 film wasa revered gem – but that doesn’t mean it was perfect. in fact, if you pay close attention, you’llnotice some irregularities. for instance, dendrologists and those familiarwith american geography will likely raise

an eyebrow to the palm trees visible in thefictional city of haddonfield, illinois. for those unfamiliar with the natural featuresof the united states, illinois isn’t really known for its palm trees. that would be more like hollywood, california,where much of the movie was actually filmed. 7. dorothy’s house slippers (the wizard ofoz) dorothy’s story revolves quite a bit aroundthe magical, sparkly ruby slippers, so it would be strange for the movie to show heroff in anything but… right? the wonders of movie making beg to differ,as it’s unlikely that dame judy garland

filmed every scene in those stiff-lookingslippers, but for anything else to make an appearance is an unfortunate slip of the editingteam. during the scarecrow’s attempt to snag someapples, a brief scene shows dorothy moving around in more comfortable black slippers. you’ll never make it home in those, deardorothy. 6. lake wissota (titanic)chances are unless you’re from wisconsin, you have no idea what lake wissota is, andnormally that’s okay. it’s nothing incredibly special, just aman-made lake near chippewa falls that was

filled in 1918. apparently, titanic protagonist jack usedto fish in these manufactured waters, which may prove peculiar to titanic experts as theunsinkable vessel set sail 6 years prior to wissota’s creation. is jack a traveler from the near future ordid the writer’s overlook or lazily ignore this minor detail of wisconsin’s history? our vote is for time-traveler. 5. a time traveling guitar (back to the future)it’s always painful going through a classic

movie and picking out glaring mistakes, butsomebody has to do it. though we enjoyed our time with doc brownand marty mcfly, we couldn’t help but notice a weird mistake thrown into the mix duringthe fish under the sea dance. yes, we know it’s “enchantment under thesea,” but… oh, nevermind. back to the mistake! the fateful dance took place in 1955, meaningit would be impossible for marty to be belting out “johnny b. goode” on the gibson es345,a guitar that wasn’t released for another 3 years. mistakes happen, but if you’re going totravel back in time, fact checking is pretty

vital. 4. gas-powered chariots (gladiator)maybe ancient romans were a bit more advanced than we initially assumed! how else would one explain the gas cylindervisible underneath one of the chariots in ridley scott’s gladiator? alright, so maybe it was more of a movie goofthan a hidden secret of roman technology. during the “battle of carthage” recreationin the colosseum, a chariot flips over, revealing what was likely a forgotten rig by the practicaleffects team and an oversight of the film’s

editors. 3. impossible currency (django unchained)quentin tarantino’s 2012 western django unchained garnered plenty of praise from criticsand moviegoers, but of course, there were some glaring mistakes that we cynics are boundto point out. mistakes like the twelve $1,000 bills presentedby dr. schutlz. it would be unlikely that the gentle doctorwould have 1, let alone 12 of the bills, mostly because the currency he was paying with wasn’tput into production until 1861, 2 years after the movie takes place.

2. where’d the ground go? (jurassic park)the escape of the tyrannosaurus rex in stephen spielberg’s jurassic park remains one ofhollywood’s finest moments, which is what makes it so painful that it’s followed upby one massive goof. the error here lies in continuity of the rexpaddock layout as it seems to go from being level with the road to having a massive dropthat the rex is able to push the jeep down. as viewers, we try to ignore it, but there’sno denying that, once the rex escaped its enclosure, all ground that it had stood onmagically vanished and gave way to a rather

sizeable drop to a moat below. 1. low-bridge stormtrooper (star wars)it’s one of cinema’s most iconic movie mistakes and there’s no way we were goingto forget about it. it’s not easy being a stormtrooper. one would have to assume visibility is notthe best in those clunky helmets, which would justify this clumsy trooper smacking his headagainst the door as he enters a control room in a new hope. strangely enough, in one of the 400 differentversions of the dvd release, rather than edit

the scene out, a thumping noise was added. if this oddly accepted goof teaches us anything,it’s that doors are apparently the only things stormtroopers are able to hit throughoutthe entirety of the star wars saga.
