Mistakes in movies and TV shows - Toyota Yaris Forums

So my kid watches more than her share of Nickelodeon and I watch it with her. This last weekend we were watching iCarly because it was on before Sponge Bob. This episode of iCarly was supposed to take place in Japan and it was pretty far from it. The main thing that pissed me off was the fact that they were driving around in a Scion Xb and it was left hand drive and badged a Scion. They put Japanese plates on it though cause we all know that's what makes it a JDM car. On top of all that they kept calling the thing a van which seemed to bug me even more. All in all I think there was only one other car in what I saw and the damn steering wheel was also on the wrong side of that car too.

I know its a kids show and that they probably didn't have the money or something to go to Japan but I think they could have tried a bit harder.

Does this kinda stuff piss anyone else off or is it just me?

I found this is the English press. If these are the worst that occured in the film, then they are being extremely nit-picky....

New James Bond thriller Quantum of Solace 'full of blunders'
Sharp-eyed 007 fans have apparently spied a string of mistakes in the new Bond thriller Quantum of Solace.

The film, which stars Daniel Craig as James Bond, is the 22nd Bond-based adventure and cost £100 million to make. It took a massive £24 million in its first weekend.

However critics claim to have spotted as many as six continuity and factual errors that they say spoil the film.

In one of the chase scenes where Bond is driving his Aston Martin and is being pursued by an Alfa Romeo, one of the other cars is shown with Italian plates with a Vauxhall Corsa badge whereas in Italy all Vauxhalls are rebadged as Opels.

Another error occurs on the registration plates for the Austrian vehicles, which have the prefix code in the incorrect place.

A similar mistake occurs when Bond, who is supposed to be a qualified pilot, reads out the registration number of a plane as Golf Zero, when it should be Golf Oscar.

In the Haiti hotel room scene, the sign on the door is written in a mixture of French and English instead of grammatically correct French.

In another scene, Bond's wristwatch appears in two different positions in the same shot - once with the face turned to the outside and once facing to the inside.

The final blunder occurs when Bond arrives in the South American city of La Paz and the temperature is shown to be an uncharacteristic 46 degrees Fahrenheit - a chilly 7.8 degrees Celsius.

In spite of the errors that some say they have spotted, Quantum of Solace claimed the top spot in all 60 of its foreign markets this weekend with a weekend haul of $106.5 million or £68 million, according to distributor Columbia Pictures

Here's an oldie.

In Bambi, a raccoon cleaning itself by a stream just vanishes from the scene.

My favorite movie blunder was in an old Chuck Norris movie "Octagon". There was one scene in a room where the shot passed by an open bathroom door and in the medicine cabinet mirror you could see the camera and film crew!
