PLOT SUMMARY

A collection of continuity errors and mistakes from a number of Hollywood blockbuster movies.

CAPSULE REVIEW

An odd exercise - it's certainly fun to watch the mistakes made by Hollywood film-makers being revealed, but the show makes enough gaffes of its own. Part way through the show presenter Nick Frost announces that Independence Day is the "first film under the spotlight" despite there having been almost a dozen clips already. Then he announces that Star Wars "was the movie that propelled Steven Spielberg to the top of the A-list" - one assumes that he's being ironic as he also claims that it made Mark Hamill a global star and that Brittney Spears' Crossroads (2001) was one of the best films ever made!
