You're in luck. Not only are there several sites devoted to film mistakes, but there's even a Yahoo! Movie Blooper category! From the mammoth archive Movie-Mistakes.com to the slightly more esoteric Little House on the Prairie Nitpickers Guild, the Web is bursting with cinematic goofs. Type "movie mistakes" or "film bloopers" into the Yahoo! search box and the result will lead you straight to this much-cherished category. Then prepare
to burn several hours enjoying a thorough dissection of Jurassic Park or seeing a stormtrooper brain himself on a low-hanging Death Star rafter. Moviebloopers.com does a great job of supplementing goof-ups with screen grabs. You'll see magically disappearing signs in Clerks, and self-cleaning hands in the Blues Brothers. Of course, let's not forget the possessed ironing board in Forrest Gump, confusion between day and night in Wayne's World, and the classic "crew in the reflection" shot in Driving Miss Daisy. Most of these blunders, of course, are relatively minor: cigarettes switch hands, drink
levels bounce up and down, etc. Still, they're telling reminders that film-making is a tricky undertaking, and that the folks in Hollywood are only human, just like us.
