10 Movie “Mistakes” That Were Put There Intentionally

One of Skyfall's best action scenes finds Daniel Craig's Bond chasing down Javier Bardem's Silva, with the pair sprinting through the London Underground and sliding down the centre of an escalator.

It's quite a smooth ride down to the bottom where their chase resumes, but those of us who've considered performing such a feat in real life will know that Bond's brief slide would not have played out this way.

In reality, the two men would've whacked their private parts on the number of small signs commonly found at the centre of escalators - signs put in place to prevent people sliding down them.

And while that would make for a pretty funny chase scene, it wouldn't have made for an exciting one, which is why the filmmakers opted to ditch the signs, giving Bond and Silva a clean ride down to the bottom.
