Gregory's Girl. The male lead, John Gordon Sinclair, is credited on the poster as Gordon John Sinclair.

Thai poster for Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991). The bottom text is self explanatory.  ;)

I never knew 'kilo' was used to measure diameter or length... it's good know it has multiple functions.  :D

The trouble with these 'Lists' is that the compiler often makes the mistake of looking at artistic licence as a mistake.

The Snakes on a Plane example was clearly just licence, the effectiveness of which can certainly be debated.  It is like similar lists that look at Continuity and cite examples of 'in real life this street is 14km from that shopping centre and so the hero couldn't get there in that time'.  It's in the edit you [insert suitable word here].

The French poster for From Russia with Love cites Jonh Barry as the composer.  That is a mistake.

+1.

Directors and editors choose locations and scenes for visual effects.  Yeah, a few people know the difference, but in the end it doesn't matter for the flow of the movie.

A few I can think of offhand.

Bullitt car chase.  That Charger lost like 12 wheel covers during the chase.  Dents appeared and disappeared on the cars throughout.  The director shot the same intersection from 4 different angles and used every one of them during the chase.  It is still one of the best car chase scenes of all time.

Blues Brothers.  It supposedly all took place in Chicago, but locations ranged from Northern Wisconsin to central Illinois.  My favorite was near the end when they jumped a bridge located in downtown Milwaukee and landed in downtown Chicago.  I know that Dodge Polara had a 400 CI engine, but 100 miles is a bit much.  But the only folks who recognized this probably lived in Milwaukee where that bridge was infamous.

American Graffitti.  Those cars jumped from Petaluma to Santa Rosa to Valejo to everywhere else in the Bay area just by turning a corner.  Again, who cares.

How many movies shot in the midwest end up having a Los Angeles palm tree somewhere in the background.

Now the real goofs in my mind are where there is a desert island scene and an empty beer can is on the beach or you see an airplane flying in a period film.

A lot of people think that deserted islands, where there is little to no human activity, would have zero garbage and what not from people.  However, depending on various oceanic and atmospheric conditions near an uninhabited and/or rarely visited island, there could be a whole lot more garbage than just a beer can.

You’ll go out there to this remote place and pull tons of this stuff off a reef; that’s like going to Antarctica and finding two tons of soda cans. Most people think places like the NWHI are a pristine environment since they are uninhabited by humans, but unfortunately they suffer from human impact.

ARG poster for Warhol's Flesh For Frankenstein (1973).

A couple interesting spellings on this one: FRANKESTEIN and Moriccey rather than Morrissey

Oops.  Doh.gif

It’s a great movie. DRACULA is even better!

The posters for Warhol's Dracula always caught my eye.

Thanks! I will check them out.

Of course, on a thread dedicated to typos, one must always take the greatest of care not to commit one's own follies.  Especially when looking at the plural of typo, which is just 'typos'.  No apostrophes required.

To be sure, that gave me paws for thought...
