The top mistakes in Top Gear http://www.moviemistakes.com/tv7503 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:34 +0000 138603 During the police car challenge, Richard Hammond is taking his homemade police car around the track on a timed lap (with extra points for flamboyant driving). As he rounds the Hammerhead corner, the makeshift stinger (that's a spike strip for the colonials) on the front of his car breaks off and is left behind. He then drives through a stack of boxes, getting one caught on the remains of the stinger mounting. As he approaches the second-to-last corner, the box has gone and the stinger is now back on the front of the car. In the final shot as his car limps across the finish line, the stinger is once again missing and the box has returned. Clearly footage from a different lap was substituted in. 141114 During "the 24 hour race". Hammond and Clarkson are helping to put extra 'racing car bits' to their car. In the one of the shots of Jeremy and the fuel tank, you can see the sponsor stickers they stuck on. But the audience hasn't seen them being stuck on yet. In shots after, there are no stickers; until we see them being added. 141926 When Jeremy is going up in the lift, near the end of the Bugatti Veyron vs plane race, the screen behind him shows that he is going up through floors 25, 26 and 27, in one shot. But, seconds later, he stops on the 23rd floor for directions, when he had been going up and was already beyond that. 142632 During the polar special, when Mattie first gets her kite out, Richard says that they are in the same fjord where Jeremy and James went through the ice. If so, the scenery has changed remarkably in a couple of days. All the blue ice is gone and so are the cliffs, which prevented Jeremy and James driving out. He can't have taken a different route as the fjord is only a mile wide. 142634 When Jeremy and James are playing I spy, during the polar special, just as Jeremy says, "If you say S, I'm going to kill you!" there is a shot from outside the car and you can see that his lips aren't moving.
