10 revealing mistakes in season 1

(1 vote)

Starring: Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall

Genres: Comedy

Accident - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Eddie ties the string to Richie's leg and slams the door, watch the leg. The jeans actually rip and the fake leg comes out and you can even see the actor's real leg tied underneath. It's really obvious in slow motion.

Apocalypse - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: After the piano falls from the ceiling, Ritchie rumbles Eddie's "plan" and kicks him out of the flat. When Eddie is pushed out the front door and down the stairs you can see him falling to begin with, but halfway through he actually stops as if he's kneeling, then ducks out of shot. The sound effects lead us to believe that he's fallen all the way down the stairs and been attacked by a pack of dogs at the bottom.

Gas - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When Eddie and Richie run upstairs after seeing the gasman next door, they run into a wall just as Rotweiler walks out of his bedroom. The wall and the door wobble. (00:27:20)

Dwarf

Smells - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Ade Edmondson clamps the pliers onto Rik Mayall's nose, if you watch carefully you can see the pliers bend a couple of times, showing that they are made of rubber or something similar. (00:13:45)

Gas - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When Eddie places the frying pan in the hand of the gas man, you can see that he grips it even though he is supposed to be unconscious. (00:10:55)

Migster

Accident - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When they are leading Richie to the cupboard while playing postman's knock, Dave Hedgehog puts his hands on the wall. The whole stage wall shakes when he touches it.

Dough - S3-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When Dick Head the barman is explaining to Richie, Eddie and friends that Skullcrusher Henderson is going to be visiting them to "discuss" their counterfeiting operation, a huge boom shadow crosses the scene back and forth several times.

Culture - S2-E3

Trivia: Perhaps an odd bit of Trivia, but Dr. O'Grady's treatment ("have your personal organ enhanced so that it comparable in size to a fully grown mountain gorilla") is not as big a ripoff as it sounds. A fully grown gorilla has an erect penis length of around 1.5 inches (on average).
