10 Movie Mistakes Staring You In The Face

10. A Very Visible Green Screen - Hot Fuzz

When Simon Pegg and Nick Frost came together again to work with Edgar Wright after the success of Shaun of the Dead, they offered up something completely different. Hot Fuzz swapped out zombies for policemen, and Pegg's pathetic Shaun for the absolute badass that was Sergeant Angel.

The big action set piece towards the end of the film was an off-the-wall car chase through the countryside, with Angel and Frost's Danny tracking down Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton) and Inspector Butterman (Jim Broadbent). It was adrenaline-pumping with quick camera changes between the characters and their cars.

In one shot that lasted no more than a second, a painfully obvious oversight can be seen. With the focus on Danny and Angel's car, the quaint countryside scenery was replaced by a green screen that had clearly been missed in the editing process. It was only for a split second, but it was unmissable.

Obviously, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jim Broadbent, and Timothy Dalton weren't actually engaged in a high-speed chase, and so the green screen was utilised as it is with many driving shots. However, the important thing to remember here is that this technique is only effective if you actually do something with all that green afterwards.
