MFFC

Charm Used: Wingardium Leviosa

MFFC- Movie Flaw Finders Corporation

I plan on starting my own Hollywood movie editing business some day. With my uncanny ability to find movie screw-ups and the ever expanding list of new movies, I believe it would be quite a profitable business.

But seriously, there are so many movie mistakes out there just waiting to be discovered. Here are a few examples of Hollywood screw-ups that I have found:

Twilight

- Engine revving vs. actual speed of the car, which can be seen by looking out of the windows of Edward's car. (They're really going like 10 miles an hour when the engine backdrop noise makes it sound like the car's going really fast.)
- Making a two-way street into a one-way street with the double yellow dividing line still in plain sight.
- (My personal favorite) When Bella walks into the science room for the first time, the fan is already blowing towards Edward. But somehow, only when Bella walks in front of the fan does everything around Edward blow about. (The fan wasn't even on oscillation!) I think this is my favorite just because of the face Robert Pattinson makes when he "smells" Bella.
- At the end of the movie when Bella is lying in the hospital bed, in the close-up on her face and the shot of her and her mother, the oxygen nose tubes are not lying in the same place on her face. The close-up on Bella's face has the oxygen tubes over her eyelashes. The far away shot has them lower, over her cheekbones.
-Fun fact, (not flaw....) the tv in Bella's hospital room is playing Twilight. (The flash back of when her mom is telling her that she fell down a flight of stair and into a window.)

Harry Potter, The Sorcerer's Stone
- Harry's/Daniel's eyes aren't green. (Someone else pointed that out to me. Props to Linda Wang.)
- When Ron and Harry are fighting the ogre in the girl's bathroom and Ron does the Wingardium Leviosa charm on the ogre's club, you never hear the club hit the ground. You hear it hit the ogre's head, but not the bathroom floor.

Some people may say I've watched these movies too many times... I disagree. I'll know when I've watched them too many times when I can recite the movie beginning to end.
