Quantum of Solace is outshone by the best background character of them all
- Movie: Quantum of Solace
- Year: 2008
- Mistake: Guy sweeping in the background doesn’t touch the floor
Broom Guy may be the International Many of Mystery, but we think James Bond is more intriguing. Okay, he doesn’t have an official name, but this extra knows how to keep all eyes on him. Who thought that sweeping could be enough to grab the spotlight while Bond and others are on screen? If you look closely, you’ll see that the person sweeping in the background of ‘Quantum of Solace’ has his broom a few feet off the floor. We’re guessing it was to keep the broom noise from interfering with the sound recording, but we’re not sure anyone is really attempting to be natural at this point.
Using mind control on the ship was not originally planned by Firefly
- TV show: Firefly
- Year: 2002
- Mistake: Wash pretends to grip a steering wheel to control the ship
Many fans were disappointed when the drama show ‘Firefly’ was canceled after just one season. It has now gone down as a cult classic all these decades later, and many wish to see it brought back to life. Hopefully, if they do, they will reflect about the TV disasters of the past and not repeat history. The premiere of the program sees the group driving away from Reavers, with Wash – the ship’s pilot – the main one who gets them to safety. No one is really clear why they positioned the pilot so far away from the ship’s console and made him pretend to grab the steering wheel, but it certainly made for an interesting scene.
