The Dark Knight whoopsies

The Dark Knight’s shattering records left and right, and has already surpassed
the box-office total of Batman Begins. However it’s beaten its predecessor’s
total in another area too, as eagle-eyed fans have spotted 22 mistakes, listed
on movie website moviemistakes.com, as opposed to only 12 bloopers in the first
film. That total’s propelled it straight into the top 10 most mistake-ridden
movies of 2008 so far, despite only being released less than two weeks ago.
They range from give-away landmarks from being filmed in Chicago, through to
changing hairstyles and mis-matched audio. A few examples are below.

When Harvey is in hospital talking to the Joker, from one angle Harvey is
wearing the heart monitor clamp on his middle finger with a grey wire, from the
other angle it has vanished. It disappears and re-appears every time the camera
angle changes.

When Two-Face is holding a child hostage and is flipping the coin to decide who
gets to live, he flips and catches it in his left hand, but we then see a
close-up of the kid’s face – Two-Face is suddenly stroking the kid’s hair with
his left hand, and the coin has vanished.

In the car chase, the convoy has 2 police cars at the back, behind the SWAT
van. A garbage truck pulls up next to the convoy and takes out the second to
last cruiser first. Another police cruiser then magically appears in front of
the truck, which has to be destroyed before the truck can get to the SWAT van.

After the tunnel ambush when they get air support again, they show the view
from the helicopter of a SWAT member with an M16 and an EOTech sight attached.
The red dot scope is mounted backwards on the weapon.

The Dark Knight is looking well on the way to beat the current most
mistake-filled film of 2008: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull, which has 61 errors.
