The top mistakes in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World http://www.moviemistakes.com/film662 en Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:55:05 +0000 4187 In the last scene when they are all on the fire escape, there is one part where the landing nearly collapses and Sylvester is seen nearly flying off the landing.  The next immediate shot shows Sylvester fighting for the ladder.  He apparently climbed up the landing and crawled over a bunch of people in a fraction of a second. 33435 In the scene where Dick Shawn and all the characters find the box of money under the big W, Shawn has just thrown Jonathan Winters out of the hole so he would have room to work. But in the next five edits, Winters is both in the hole helping Shawn struggle with the box and is also shown standing outside the hole observing himself along with the others. 10316 When the English guy and Russell are in the car watch the background - all of a sudden it changes. 23783 When the couple in the truck are driven off and down the side of the mountain the direction of the truck does not match the direction he steers the truck. 32920 About three quarters into the movie, Sylvester, in his red '62 Dodge Dart convertible, sees brother-in-law Russell Finch and Mr. Hawthorne drive by in a '61 blue Chevy Impala. When Sylvester does a u-turn to give chase, you can see the passenger side of the Dart is already caved-in. A few moments later, when he rams the Dodge into the Chevy, kind of Ben-Hur chariot style, is when the initial damage should have occurred. Evidently, the chase scene was filmed out of order. Also, prior to the chase, the Dodge is shown primarily from the driver's side, perhaps to conceal the damage on the passenger side of the car.
