At the end of last year, a ranking of films with the highest number of errors per minute was published. The study was based on information from the IMDb and Movie Mistakes portals, where users detect all errors, mistakes and shortcomings in films.
The production that was at the top of this infamous ranking is the cult film “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock from 1962. It is a thriller about a seaside town that is suddenly attacked by aggressive birds.
“The Birds” is one of the most important thrillers in the history of cinema. And also the movie with the most mistakes
The report shows that the award-winning production has 552 errors, which gives as many as 4.64 deficiencies per minute. The most visible ones include: a scene when children run away from school from birds that do not cast shadows. Another blunder by the creators is Melanie’s (Tippi Herden) perfectly done manicure when she fends off a massive attack of flying creatures with her hands.
In second place was “The Wizard of Oz” from 1939. There were 434 errors in production, and the error rate is 4.25 per minute. The unsuccessful scenes include the one in which Dorothy (Judy Garland) reaches the Emerald City and knocks on the gate three times. However, viewers will hear four hits during this time. The scene in which Dorothy meets the Scarecrow is also unlucky – the girl’s hairstyle changes many times.
Closing the podium is “Apocalypse Now” directed by Francis Ford Coppola. There were 563 errors in this legendary 1978 film, which gives an average of 3.83 errors per minute. In the film, you can notice that when the bridge is blown up, a camera is visible on one of the boats, and during dinner, the shadow of a cameraman appears over the head of Colonel Lucas (Harrison Ford).
