Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994):
If there's one thing I like, it's a movie that pokes fun at itself. One great way of doing this is to insert jokes into the ending credit crawl. (It's also a clever way of getting the audience to sit and read the credits!) The latest installation of the Naked Gun trilogy takes the gag to new heights. For starters, it lists the camera and boom operators, and then says, "Smooth Operator: Senator Packwood". It lists the wardrobe provider, then adds, "Mr. [J. Edgar] Hoover's wardrobe by: SEXUAL". Think about it. It lists the cast as "People Who Appeared in the Movie," then moves on to "People Who didn't Have Any Lines but We Like Them Anyway," and finally "People Who Ended Up on the Cutting Room Floor but it Wasn't Their Fault." Towards the end, it says, "There is a blue Honda Accord out in the parking lot with it's lights on," or something to that effect. (There are several other jokes in the crawl, but I can't recall them. Check it out for yourself.)
Natural Born Killers (1994):
Andrew Higgins believes he found a well-hidden flub which may be an inside joke. When Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) is having a standoff with the cops at Drug Zone, we see him standing in one of the checkout lines. There is a sign saying "Follow Your Drug Protocol" or something like that, and each time the scene goes from Mickey to the cops to Mickey again, different letters from the phrase disappear and re-appear.
A Night at the Opera (1935):
Not even the Marx Brothers most renowned movie is without its slips. In the beginning, Otis P. Driftwood (Groucho Marx) is dining in a restaurant in Milan. He receives the check and complains that it costs nine dollars. He has every right to complain, because he's in Italy, and the check should have been in lira, not dollars.
And here's a point to ponder: according to the storyline, with the exception of Driftwood, Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont) and Herman Gottlieb (Siegfried Rumann), all the main characters have been in Italy their entire lives. Why, then, does only Fiorello (Chico Marx) have an Italian accent?
North by Northwest (1959):
It's amazing what you see when you look in the background. Karen Munoz, Eqqus, and Wayne C. Weatherred all noticed the same gaffe: Eve (Eva Marie Saint) pulls a gun from her purse to kill Thornhill (Carey Grant). At one of the tables in the background, a young boy puts his fingers in his ears in anticipation of a bang from a gun he couldn't see.
Nothing to Lose (1997):
Josh Covitt discovered that, in a movie, smoking can be hazardous in more ways than one. A thug driving the car next to Nick Beame (Tim Robbins) throws his cigarette at him and burns Nick's suit. In the next shot, the thug has the cigarette back in his mouth and has it for the rest of the scene.
