Sepiatone Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I really don't mind the 1990's remake of "Miracle on 34th Street" with RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH as Kris Kringle, and Mara Wilson in the SUSAN role. It's really not all that bad Now, I don't know the names of EVERY cast member, but there's a guy they got to play SHELLHAMMER(sic) who could pass as the original actor's son! But, in an earlier part of the movie, the scenes where Mrs. walker is scrambling around trying to organize the parade, Shellhamer calls her into a big van with video monitors loaded on one wall of it and informs her, "YOU'RE Santa Claus is wearing a TOPCOAT and FEDORA!" I take exception to this, and point the flaw out every time we watch this flick. My wife tells me not to be so picky. MY problem with it is, that he's NOT wearing a FEDORA. The style of hat Attenborough's wearing is a HOMBURG! Don't ya just HATE that kind of stuff? Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else would we go to nitpick, imdb, the home of fakakta forums? No thank you. Mr. primos picks out incorrect era cars in movies all the time. Personally, I get hung up on hanged and hung.

Fedya Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I hate that Shelhammer doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're". Now, I don't know the names of EVERY cast member, You could HAVE gone to IMDb in order to LOOK up the names of the ACTORS in the cast. For the record, it's Simon Jones as Shelhammer in that version. Thurston Howell played him in the 1973 TV movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Every time.I watch BRINGING UP BABY (which I love), I am struck that Hepburn gets a leopard from her brother in Brazil. However, leopards are native to the Eastern Hemisphere, not the Western. The equivalent in this hemisphere is the jaguar. Further confounding is when a jaguar IS used in the movie later, although I've yet to determine if it is only used to represent the escaped circus leopard. Anachronisms in movies jump out at me, especially in modern films conveying other times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I always laugh at the end of The Adventures of Robin Hood, after Robin Hood has killed Sir Guy and threatens the guard of Maid Marian's cell with his sword. Robin Hood's sword is so obviously bent, that I doubt it would be that effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
