10 Movie Mistakes You Can Never Unsee

4. The Magically Repaired Car - Commando

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando is one of the greatest guilty pleasure action flicks ever made, a testosterone-fuelled barrage of ridiculous action and hysterical one-liners almost beyond compare.

But its crowning achievement might well be the fact that it features a continuity error so brilliantly stupid that one almost suspects it was actually intentional.

After muscled hero John Matrix (Schwarzenegger) runs the pervy Sully (David Patrick Kelly) off the road and subsequently drops him off a cliff, he steals Sully's car and drives off into the night.

Except, Sully's yellow Porsche convertible has considerable damage to the driver's side as Matrix hops into it, but when he drives off in the next shot, we can see that the side is perfectly repaired.

It's an especially baffling error given how easily a member of the crew should've been able to notice it. Considering that it only adds to the film's kitschy B-movie legend, though, it's ultimately more of a happy accident.
