Catching 80's movie errors.

Have I told you guys that I have an obsession with playing the movie Clue in the background whilst here or doing other activities? I do.
If it gets too quiet and I want some noise, I tend to turn on the television and let clue play. I've watched the movie so much over the years (especially here lately) that I don't even need it on, I could probably recite the whole movie to you.
Anyway, there is a portion of the movie that gets me every time. Mrs. White asks the maid why she is screaming. The maid tells her that they locked her in with the murderer. Professor Plum asks her how she knew that and she says that that's what Mrs. White said. Well Professor Plum says "How did you know HE said that." Not She but HE. It was a fluke I'm sure, and perhaps they didn't care to stop filming to try the scene again...
That movie was made in '85. Then there's one made in '87, Princess Bride. In one part of the movie the narrator states that the King had died, and thus the prince became king, and his un-wed bride queen. Well, several scenes later, they are tying the knot and lo and behold there is the dead king. (whom is obviously not dead)
I didn't catch either of these things while watching as a child. I didn't even really notice it the last time I watched The Princess Bride, but I watched it again last night and there it was...
Any movies you've watched a million times but didn't catch a fluke until much later?

I like to do that too sometimes. I think its the core there is a fish thrown in as the birds fly into the glass killing themselves and breaking it. Pretty Woman the breakfast seen she has a pancake one moment and then the next she has a croissant. Its fun to see how many you can find and wonder if they even realized it and if so as you said probably didn't want to stop everything for something so small probably nobody would notice.

Think of the money involved in having to re-film. There are so many different variables they have to go by. I bet they caught some in watching the tape back over but decided to heck with it, it would cost too much to bring everyone back in.

There was one I heard of the other day. Can't recall the name of the movie. REELZ channel is good for that. Some people use 'he' for everything. As if there are no woman at all. Maybe it is a personal problem.

Oh really? I've seen REELZ somewhere, maybe on my firestick? I'll have to check it out. I like looking at things like that, movie bloopers and the such.
Other countries use "he". I wonder if it doesn't go back to gender inequality, which is still a thing in some countries.

@ScribbledAdNauseum .....THey don't show body parts or anything. Just what the autopsy reads and his expertise. I am always curious and so this helps to answer some questions for me. Like with Marilyn and Michael and Elvis.

@celticeagle I am not sure about the autopsy doctor. It's not something I am completely comfortable with watching, but it would probably be something I'd try to watch atleast once. Everything else sounds like it would be fun.
