10 More Terrible Extras Who Completely Ruined Their Scenes

7. Footballer Changes Colour - Wildcats

A continuity error this one, unless the Extra employed in Goldie Hawn's American Football movie Wildcats was some sort of wizard who was able to change his genetic make-up at the drop of a hat.

If that is the case, which it probably isn't, the Extra needs to take a long hard look at himself for the inappropriate time he chose to change his race, while in the middle of a key action scene. Picking the ball up from the quarter back in a sneaky switch move, the African American runner (number 89) negotiates the oncoming traffic of the pack before being taken down by no less than three opposition team members. Progress, and the crowd goes wild.

And then he goes and spoils it all by standing up to salute his coach Goldie Hawn, having somehow turned into a Caucasian during the tackle. Way to spoil a scene.
