10 Sci-Fi Movie Mistakes You Never Noticed Before

Blank newspapers! Self-drying clothes! Magic mouthpieces! England in South Africa!

Species: Michael Madsen's character calls Ben Kingsley out on the 'docile female' immediately after he says it. "More docile and controllable? You guys don't get out much."

Body hopping? In "The Thing"? Someone didn't watch the movie.

[antney]

I think Species, and the scientists being idiots about females being docile, is a massive plot point that's even called out *within the movie*.

[Grizzdrop]

the fun thing about Species is that it is not a 'mistake' the character is then chastised for being a dumb A in thinking that... basically it establishes that the 'scientists' here are misogynists and not really being scientific

The deal-breaker for me in Bloodshot was when he filled a tunnel with flour and used road flares to illuminate it. That should have straight up exploded and killed everyone. Flour dust is heckin dangerous and explosively flammable

Also in Jurassic Park, the T-Rex simply sneaking into the main building unnoticed when previously its arrival was heralded by noticeable audible and tactile thumps.

2:30 - Did no one at WhatCulture come to think that, in-universe, the channel faked the footage in the Running Man film? I mean, we literally see them fake the death of Arnold's character in a fight scene. Nothing says that they didn't fake that footage too (especially since we see that the scene was literally not the same as it was in the opening scene).

While this has been stated already, I'm gunna repeat and elaborate just a smidge. I don't believe it's fair to have Species on this list due to Michael Madsen commenting on Kingsley stating they thought having Sil as female would be more controlable and docile. Since this is addressed in the film itself this would mean it's not an oversight.

regarding #8, from The Cave
subvocal throat microphones have been a thing going back to WW2 (with a prototype being developed during WW1), pretty sure they can be used while wearing SCUBA equipment.

In Jurassic Park what about the HUGE drop by the car getting stuck in a tree at first but yet the T-Rex just walks thru the wire fence.

[RevRaptor]

I could be wrong but the divers in the cave look like they are using rebreathers. Which means they can talk to each other, quite clearly too.

Roland Emerich clearly hated being dragged on family vacations. So he spent his life destroying every landmark he could. 🤣😂

You are wrong with the epinephrine in the Godzilla movie. Firstly it’s not given for atrial fibrillation it’s given for ventricular fibrillation. It also comes in various concentrations and if we assume Brian Cranston’s character is in some form of shock 1mg of epinephrine 1:100, 000 is a reasonable dose to give rather than then 1mg of 1:10, 000 given for the ventricular fibrillation and the 0.5mg dose is epinephrine 1:1, 000

[yagsyags]

I'm surprised this list left off Superman 2, and the Kryptonian supervillains talking on the moon. I can accept that their alien physiology might let them survive there without breathing. But without air, the sound wouldn't be transmitted, so how could they talk to each other? Or talk to the astronauts in their space suits?

Mulder's Mysterious Paper exemplifies exactly who Mulder is and answers so many questions from throughout the series: he sees things in this world that other people simply cannot see.

Sil a Xenomorph ripoff? Both were designed by H.R. Giger. Is it possible to rip yourself off?

[noyou]

how do you pick the goat leg but not the part where the T Rex somehow walks through an area that is thousands of feet down

[TFASplbtttt]

Battle Royale and The Hunger Games are based on The Long Walk, a different book by Stephen King. The Running Man film IS NOT based on the book of the same name, it's based on looking at the cover of the eponymous book while tripping on mushrooms and watching The Price Is Right with Bob Barker. I'm just waiting for WC to do a mistake reel for their own videos

[kieranpriest]

All of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are female. I guess you referring to the T-Rex as “he” is a mistake

[JohnSmith-cncw]

The Running Man showed the tech they would have used to create the footage.
