Apparently the excessive blood spray seen in sword flighting, Tarantino's movies, and anime is based on a prop mistake in the 1962 film Sanjuro. A pressured hose of fake blood underneath an actor's costume broke and sprayed the entire amount all at once. They kept it in and it's been referenced ever since.
The irony is that when Chopper Reid watched the ear-cutting scene in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, he said that there was nowhere near enough blood when an ear is hacked off. (Mark "Chopper" Reid was a vigilante killer in prison who had an inmate hack his ears off because he wanted to be moved to a different cell block. His shoulders and the front and back of his entire torso were covered in blood.
@@JaxDax It's a follow-up to Yojimbo, with Toshiro Mifune returning as the ronin Sanjuro. Yojimbo was the basis for the famous Clint Eastwood western A Fistful of Dollars, and also remade as a Prohibition era gangster movie with Bruce Willis called Last Man Standing. Kurosawa's movies have definitely been hugely influential in Hollywood.
I like the thought that in the Goodfellas scene, the (in-universe) owner of the prop car was trying to commit some kind of fraud by hiding their license plate, but the fake happened to fall off at the same time as the hero car drove away.
Everyone always points at the number plate in Goodfellas as a famous screw up but I have never heard anyone ever bring up the toy blocks in the scene with Karen bringing the kids in to visit Henry in prison. Seriously watch it and jus pay attention to the toy blocks that the daughter is playing with on the table as the camera cuts back and forth between Karen and Henry. It's actually insane how inconsistent it is. AND NOBODY EVER NOTICES IT. The blocks literally change colours, are stacked one way, then another way and then all of a sudden scattered all over the table, change the number of blocks, the child is holding one and then not and to top it all off they then just disappear entirely. It's pretty obvious that the blocks were there for the kid to actually play with. I think being such a young child she probably was being restless or being loud while they were trying to film the scene and they gave her the blocks to make her sit still and shut up. But damn it made a mess of the continuity in that scene.... Yet nobody ever says anything about it, it is as though it is totally hidden in plain sight from people. But once you notice it you can never unsee it in that scene ever again.
I'm also for keeping the errors. I love them, like little secrets that let you in on all the hard work it takes to make a movie. ("A license plate falling off? You mean they had to go all the way and make fake license plates!!?") I don't think it takes the viewer out of the film at all - for me it really humanizes things. Like when you order a ribeye but they take it to the wrong table (call that a missed-steak!)
Not to mention, dangling license plates are fairly common on the road... it helps with realism. Can't say I've seen too many outright fall off but they must... every once in a while see one laying somewhere. 🤷♂️
My favorite prop mistake is from NBC's "Good Place" where in season 1 ep 6 Janet played by D'Arcy Carden has her hands behind her back for an effect of magically having a stack of papers but the shot used was a side wide shot and you can see a prop guy handing her a stack of papers in the shot. It's hilarious.
SCOTT : ANOTHER Dr. Strange prop continuity error : when Strange is home and lashes out, sweeping his desk's items off, his laptop magically hops back up. 😂
Great episode. I don't remember what movie it was for but...there was a famous biblical movie from the golden age where the director wanted something red in a bowl on the table in a scene. So he ordered a bowl of tomatoes. Thank Goodness the historian stepped in and said that people didn't cultivate or eat tomatoes yet, so the director listened and they switched to pomegranates instead.
As soon as you mentioned the age of the guitar, my geart started sinking. That poor guitar 😢 At least they got a fantastic reaction from JJL out of it!
I felt the pain of that guitar getting smashed. I had something similar happen on set. I was supposed to destroy an antique chess board and they forgot to remove the real one after getting close up shots, and as you can guess I destroyed the heck out of a very rare and expensive board. The good news is the chess board was owned by the directors mother so it didn't go any further, but he sure did get yelled at about it! LOL!
@@djm5687, since he said they "forgot to remove the real one", I'm guessing the production DID buy a cheap set, they just didn't swap it. Unless you are asking why a cheap one wasn't used the whole way through?
I remember one continuity error in the movie Stripes when Harold Ramis is sitting on top of Bill Murray arguing and they are spotted by the MPs. At the beginning of the scene, Bill's duffel bag is under his head. Then when they cut to a different angle, the duffel bag is a couple feet away.😄
I remember doing an ice cream scene for background couple years back and prop master insisted on us all having more and more ice cream to the point where the levels of height were completely different 😂
I love to hyper analyze things as I'm watching them for the first time but my wife couldn't be more opposite. She just wants to turn her brain off and enjoy the moment. It can get kind of awkward when we watch TV.
I’m not sure the spy glass scene was an error. I had always assumed the scene was meant to portray how the Moors were more advanced technologically than the Europeans.
Are surgical masks being worn by an actor considered more wardrobe or prop? I guess the distinction may be a Grey's area, but curious how it's usually decided who'll be responsible during a show.
I have had to provide them on plenty of shows. It just depends. I’ll ask the costume designer and offer it up. Often times we provide on camera safety wear like masks and googles, hard hats, respirators etc.
The one continuity error that truly bothers me, but I 100% understand WHY it happens.... is when someone is completely covered in mud or something, but in the next/rest of the shots.... there's a perfect circle of clean around their eyes and mouth. I get it's a safety/sanitary thing keeping whatever they're covering the actors in, out of their eyes and mouth... but it just looks so unrealistic. An insert short of the actor wiping away their eyes /could/ help blend the two.. but it's always PERFECTLY CIRCULAR.. clean lines. xD I have no clue how I missed that ice cream in Summer 04! xD I love that Joey King kind of glances at the ice cream, that's hilarious. Classic ending to an ep, as always.hahah
The guitar-thing was repeated on "Wolf of Wallstreet". They had the main character drive a super-rare vintage lamborghini, and had a replica for a crash-sequence. The director didn't like the look of the replica crumbling so they decided to wreck the real one also.
I would love to see y'all on corridor crew! This is stuff that they've never talked about as they don't have as much of a specialty in it and I think you guys could bring a real unique perspective to this side of the film industry.
I watched The Tudors recently and hated the show but was kept entertained by the multiple instances of historical inaccuracies and continuity errors. My favorite is in Season 1 Ep 5 about 42 minutes in, a character drinks from a plain black cup that turns into a goblet in the next shot and then back to a plain cup.
I've been watching Scrubs again and so far I noticed an obvious prop and a spot where you could tell they did more than one shots. The prop was in the episode with Dick Van Dyke in season 2 with a retractable knife. You could see where the fake blade slides into the handle. The multi take scene that i found was in the first few episodes of season 3 when Elliot got splashed with water. Right before the water hit her, you could tell her hair was already wet. Both scenes made me think of you guys. 😁
Using IMDB, you have access to their "Goofs" and "Trivia" for most movies, and it is surprising how many errors there are. I now only read them after I've seen the movie or TV show, as reading them first got me spending so much thought anticipating the error that my mind jumped out of the plot.
My favorite continuity "issue" is the cheese in the nachos scene in Napolean Dynamite. They purposely added more cheese and removed cheese to make the place of nachos break continuity. It's a cheesy joke, but I like it.
Making my first short movie currently and we've run into a lot of continuity errors because of our lack of experience and budjet. At first I was like "oh no, we have reshoot everything", but then I remember videos like yours and realized that even highly professional movies have a lot of them. So we decided never mind them and just keep shooting. Sure, hairstyles change a little, a wrist watch disappears and appears at random, shirts look similar but have different text on them, etc. 99% of the viewers will never notice them anyway, haha.
Mark from the video here. It’s almost impossible to avoid continuity mistakes. We all make them. Making your first film is a big deal, Congrats! And now you know what to watch for!
Continuity would have to be all but a total nightmare to keep straight. Basically trying to make sure that every last detail lines up with all the other details for a couple hours... yeah I don't think I'd want that job. What surprises me is that actors don't notice some of them and speak up (the ice cream comes to mind)... but I'm assuming that's because of takes and selecting the best one for the final film... things like food are going to be the hardest because they intrinsically change by being eaten on camera.
This is a great react series! I'm glad you're continuing on because each episode is better than the last as you find your stride and get more comfortable. I hope it keeps going!
An interesting note about Willy Nelson's acoustic guitar is that it's reliced. That extra hole was not made by play wear. Relicing is when somebody artificially adds wear to an object either cosmetically though paints and stains or by using tools and chemicals.
@@ScottPropandRoll Happy to give you all the support I can 😁👍. You and your guys are great storytellers and explainers and your friendship truly shines through in the videos you all make.

Mark Prop Guy here! I can’t tell you how many times the Scripty has saved my ass. You are the fail safe for every prop guy and gal! On behalf of us all, thanks!!
In Back To The Future Marty didn't bring a guitar with him from 1985, but he's playing a Gibson ES45 guitar that wouldn't be available until 1957. Granted, those movies are incredible messes of logic it's just a drop in an ocean of nonsense though. You could write a book on what's wrong with those movies. Actually if you bother to think about it, the entire franchise erases its self from existence. 🙄 You see, Marty actually erased himself at the end of the movie because he changed his own life to where it was nothing like his own, and the altered future Marty had absolutely no reason to go back in time and fix his parents lives... so what did he go back in time to do? We'll never know. But the Marty we knew erased himself and......... I have a headache.
I think there can be some cases where a retrospective fix can be beneficial, but I say that lightly. For example; removing the reflection of the snake in the glass when Indy falls in the snake pit in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I felt it was a sensible edit as it maintains the illusion Indy is in danger. They kept the shot during the basket chase scene where the nazi in black is replaced by a stick with the costume and hat on (the actor was sick I believe). It's such a short shot but he isn't the centre of attention so it is missed. I love that such a ballsy move was made during a chase scene and that it worked.
The spy glass thing is a gag. That's why dude freaks out thinking the enemy was right in front of him. The joke is literally that the spyglass hadn't been invented yet so he doesn't understand it.
I had a book on this, something like, "Romans Don't Wear Watches", referring to an extra wearing one in, "Ben Hur". I am always looking for these in movies especially if the movie sucks and my eye just starts wandering. This is great and I hope you do more!
I was watching an episode of "In the Heat of the Night" wherein the actors were conversing at a table at an outdoor seating area. The level of the ice tea glasses was randomly up and down in each long shot. I was cast as a minister in a TLC show about polygamous LDS towns. The setting of the scene was supposed to be in Nevada. The line in my sides said, "By the power invested in me by the state of California..."
Mark Prop guy here! What do you do? I love Joe’s! It’s the go to gak for all prop people and set dressers. We literally couldn’t make a show without it!
Not a prop error so much as a continuity error in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, as I recall. There is a scene of an arrival on a beach featuring the White Cliffs of Dover but within a day or so they are at Hadrian's Wall, a distance of some 385 miles. That would have been impossible.
Reminds me of an episode of "Moonlighting" where the shaving cream on Bruce Willis' face changed from shot to shot. You could map out when the dialog was recorded based on camera angle and shaving cream. It was glaringly obvious to young me.
On the reboot Battlestar Galactica, they had a spiffy eloctronic communication device. I have the same one. Lol. Its an emergency radio with light and handcrank. 😂
There are a lot of flubs in movies that I love and have nostalgia for. But to name one from a much smaller movie, 1983's Suburbia features a scene wherein a bunch of punk kids are riding around, looking for a specific house. One of them, Razzle, is played by Flea (who'd just started a band called the Red Hot Chili Peppers) while Jack, played by Chris Pederson (frontman for the Dumps and the Patriots, later seen in Platoon and Point Break) is driving. JACK: 'Hey, where's that house, Flea?' RAZZLE: 'It's coming up, just keep going.' JACK: 'We've been driving for HOURS. DAYS!' RAZZLE: 'Hey, my name's Razzle, man!' Flea visibly breaks when he realizes Pedersen called him by his stage name, rather than his character name, but Penelope Spheeris just kept rolling. I love the sheer audacity of saying nope, we're leaving that in. 😂
I'm surprised you guys didn't use the Ocean's 11 scene with Brad Pitt eating the shrimp scene. It goes from him holding a small bowl to a plate, back to a bowl of shrimp. I would have thought even Pitt would have remembered holding a completely different object during the shoot.
As someone who always notices continuity errors in movies, I wish I could work in the industry JUST to fix them because I hate that.... I did that as a little kid in movie theaters and at home and nobody liked watching movies w/ me. 😂😂
Don't need to be a prop master to catch these! One of my favorite (technically) mistakes is Death Proof, especially toward the end. Sometimes, the red splatter on the windscreen is different from other shots; doesn't exist/different pattern, etc. (this one is definitely continuity). Another one is an episode The Twilight Zone, On Thursday We Leave for Home; they accidentally show the microphone near the bottom of the frame during one of the scenes in the cave... if I remember right, it's after the space ship left and the Captain was speaking to an imaginary Jo-Jo, just before the Captain realized staying on the planet was a mistake.
I just discovered your channel guys. Love this stuff! I enjoy seeing the mistakes in props and continuity in film/tv in a craft you all have such a great insight on. Hope this series continues and be amazed at what or how things are done on film more and more!
"Why didn't they just reshoot it?" Clint Eastwood is notorious for being a one and done director. I feel like the only way Eastwood would have reshot that scene is if Bradley Cooper accidentally dropped the prop baby. Even then, he might have kept it...
Hey I've discovered that using rare earth magnets will stick a license plate overtop of another and hold it so tight you can hit some serious bumps and the license plate won't budge.
Hi Scott, love your videos and shorts. Another favorite movie for continuity issues is Pulp Fiction. Here are two: 1) In the apartment scene. Bullet holes are in the wall behind Samuel Jackson and John Travolta before they were shot at by the kid. 2) Winston Wolf closes the trunk of the car showing Marvin in there. Marvin's face is in tact with only a bloody nose.
It also makes sense in that neighborhood in goodfellas there would be cars with fake plates on. If I saw that plate fall off in the movie I'd assume it's part of the set design.
I keep expecting to look down to see them sitting in wheelchairs. 😂. I have those folding chairs, I know they’re spacious and comfortable but they’re so oddly shaped.
I like Poppy's face of pure horror as you start mentioning the age of the guitar. He sees what's coming and it's rocking him to his core.
Me, too. I know how precious these instruments are to their owners.
It's the most classic "oh Tarantino" mistake I've heard
I was surprised they hadn’t already heard about it. I got a great reaction from them both!!
Jennifer's reaction was also genuine.. you can see her look off camera and say WHOA?!
@@chummyhendershot7328yea her reaction came across as physical pain as she watched the guitar become woodchips
Well, the actress's shock at the destruction of that guitar probably couldn't be more genuine as a result of that. 😂
Apparently the excessive blood spray seen in sword flighting, Tarantino's movies, and anime is based on a prop mistake in the 1962 film Sanjuro. A pressured hose of fake blood underneath an actor's costume broke and sprayed the entire amount all at once. They kept it in and it's been referenced ever since.
Woah, I've never heard of that movie and it had such a big influence on today's media? Thats so cool!
The irony is that when Chopper Reid watched the ear-cutting scene in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, he said that there was nowhere near enough blood when an ear is hacked off.

Joey's shirt being clean-ish again isn't a continuity error in my eyes; my headcanon is that he just really quickly licked himself clean 😂

I think there can be some cases where a retrospective fix can be beneficial, but I say that lightly. For example; removing the reflection of the snake in the glass when Indy falls in the snake pit in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I felt it was a sensible edit as it maintains the illusion Indy is in danger. They kept the shot during the basket chase scene where the nazi in black is replaced by a stick with the costume and hat on (the actor was sick I believe). It's such a short shot but he isn't the centre of attention so it is missed. I love that such a ballsy move was made during a chase scene and that it worked.
Look at the look on her face when he smashes the guitar lol
The spy glass thing is a gag. That's why dude freaks out thinking the enemy was right in front of him. The joke is literally that the spyglass hadn't been invented yet so he doesn't understand it.
I had a book on this, something like, "Romans Don't Wear Watches", referring to an extra wearing one in, "Ben Hur". I am always looking for these in movies especially if the movie sucks and my eye just starts wandering. This is great and I hope you do more!
I was watching an episode of "In the Heat of the Night" wherein the actors were conversing at a table at an outdoor seating area. The level of the ice tea glasses was randomly up and down in each long shot.
I was cast as a minister in a TLC show about polygamous LDS towns. The setting of the scene was supposed to be in Nevada. The line in my sides said, "By the power invested in me by the state of California..."
The "Shouted" it out joke I think everyone heard crickets on that one lol
Joes sticky stuff is the backbone of so many mounts n builds. My boss even reattached his bumper with it at one stage
Mark Prop guy here! What do you do? I love Joe’s! It’s the go to gak for all prop people and set dressers. We literally couldn’t make a show without it!
@MarkStarboySpacek I'm a sound guy ^_^ yeah it's great, scored an extra roll on last gig n been using it around the house too- it's magic haha
The Hateful 8 guitar scene 😂
Wait a props channel? I worked in props for years for Cirque du Soleil...you've got my sub!
Did my dude just say they added storm troopers and Jaba the hut to Good Fellas!?!? 😂 I gotta see this!!!!
He’s a funny guy.
Spider shot first 🦶
@@richardrobbins387 actual funny comment dude, literally made me lol
This is amazing. It's like corridor crew but with dudes who've been in the industry for years
I love this side of movies. (Props) I could watch you guys talk props for hours!
We need more of these videos.
Not that its the prop guys job, but the eyeglass in Robin Hood also clearly gets the film crew reflected in it.
once you've seen a few continuity errors, you spot them everywhere.
You guys are funnier than some of the films you're propping!
Thank you!!! I mean it!!!
Awesome video guys
Thanks!!
We need more of these! Excellent video series, thanks very much for sharing your stories and experiences with your own brand of comedy!
Not a prop error so much as a continuity error in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, as I recall. There is a scene of an arrival on a beach featuring the White Cliffs of Dover but within a day or so they are at Hadrian's Wall, a distance of some 385 miles. That would have been impossible.
Reminds me of an episode of "Moonlighting" where the shaving cream on Bruce Willis' face changed from shot to shot. You could map out when the dialog was recorded based on camera angle and shaving cream. It was glaringly obvious to young me.
I don't know why but these pun-masters really know much about props...
On the reboot Battlestar Galactica, they had a spiffy eloctronic communication device. I have the same one. Lol. Its an emergency radio with light and handcrank. 😂
Omg that Hateful Eight guitar fiasco is legendary among musicians... 😂😭
The purpose of the spyglass was to make the Moor seem cool and advanced and the English lord a buffoon.
There are a lot of flubs in movies that I love and have nostalgia for. But to name one from a much smaller movie, 1983's Suburbia features a scene wherein a bunch of punk kids are riding around, looking for a specific house. One of them, Razzle, is played by Flea (who'd just started a band called the Red Hot Chili Peppers) while Jack, played by Chris Pederson (frontman for the Dumps and the Patriots, later seen in Platoon and Point Break) is driving.
JACK: 'Hey, where's that house, Flea?'
RAZZLE: 'It's coming up, just keep going.'
JACK: 'We've been driving for HOURS. DAYS!'
RAZZLE: 'Hey, my name's Razzle, man!'
Flea visibly breaks when he realizes Pedersen called him by his stage name, rather than his character name, but Penelope Spheeris just kept rolling. I love the sheer audacity of saying nope, we're leaving that in. 😂
I like seeing your colleagues in group stories.
Thanks. We have fun doing it!
Oh yes, I've wanted to see a prop department react for a long time now since finding your channel.
Favorite continuity mistake is Brad Pitt is eating shrimp cocktail in Oceans 11, and magically changes the the glass to a bowl, and back to a glass.
I'm surprised you guys didn't use the Ocean's 11 scene with Brad Pitt eating the shrimp scene. It goes from him holding a small bowl to a plate, back to a bowl of shrimp. I would have thought even Pitt would have remembered holding a completely different object during the shoot.
LOVE THIS SERIES ❤ KEEP GOING!
Will do!!
These would be great guys to hang out with!
4:35 the scream I scrumpt right here!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love this
As someone who always notices continuity errors in movies, I wish I could work in the industry JUST to fix them because I hate that.... I did that as a little kid in movie theaters and at home and nobody liked watching movies w/ me. 😂😂
I imagine that the most challenging continuity issue to deal with is on-camera cigarette smoking.
I never knew that about the guitar in the Hateful 8 that is an awesome tid bit.
Don't need to be a prop master to catch these! One of my favorite (technically) mistakes is Death Proof, especially toward the end. Sometimes, the red splatter on the windscreen is different from other shots; doesn't exist/different pattern, etc. (this one is definitely continuity). Another one is an episode The Twilight Zone, On Thursday We Leave for Home; they accidentally show the microphone near the bottom of the frame during one of the scenes in the cave... if I remember right, it's after the space ship left and the Captain was speaking to an imaginary Jo-Jo, just before the Captain realized staying on the planet was a mistake.
I just discovered your channel guys. Love this stuff! I enjoy seeing the mistakes in props and continuity in film/tv in a craft you all have such a great insight on. Hope this series continues and be amazed at what or how things are done on film more and more!
"Why didn't they just reshoot it?" Clint Eastwood is notorious for being a one and done director. I feel like the only way Eastwood would have reshot that scene is if Bradley Cooper accidentally dropped the prop baby. Even then, he might have kept it...
You guys are great. Love these
Hey I've discovered that using rare earth magnets will stick a license plate overtop of another and hold it so tight you can hit some serious bumps and the license plate won't budge.
If you don't use a plastic plate that is..
Hi Scott, love your videos and shorts. Another favorite movie for continuity issues is Pulp Fiction. Here are two: 1) In the apartment scene. Bullet holes are in the wall behind Samuel Jackson and John Travolta before they were shot at by the kid. 2) Winston Wolf closes the trunk of the car showing Marvin in there. Marvin's face is in tact with only a bloody nose.
It also makes sense in that neighborhood in goodfellas there would be cars with fake plates on. If I saw that plate fall off in the movie I'd assume it's part of the set design.
Great video guys! Keep 'em comin'!
Another great episode!
This stuff is excellent! Please keep these coming.
I keep expecting to look down to see them sitting in wheelchairs. 😂. I have those folding chairs, I know they’re spacious and comfortable but they’re so oddly shaped.
