Opis

Have you ever watched Gladiator and seen the gas cylinder in the back of one of the Roman chariots? Or the stagehand caught on set during the Tin Man's dance in The Wizard of Oz? Or been amazed by the astounding self-attaching electrodes in Spider Man? Everyone loves a good movie, but there's nothing we like more than finding a continuity error, a historical innaccuracy or a technical blunder in them. In this completely updated edition, Jon Sandys has included new mistakes from films such as Star Wars II - Attack of the Clones, Die Another Day, Gangs of New York, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Monsters, Inc, Minority Report and Spider Man.
