While running for their lives and trying to stop the machines from taking over, John Connor and the rest of the cast have to take to the sky to try and stay one step ahead of the machines.
When they approach the plane on the ground, the plane’s call number is clearly – as you can see from the picture – N3035C. However, once they’re in the air, the plane’s numbers change to N3413F. The reason for this is almost certainly difficulties with filming and renting planes, especially while flying.
“The Last Samurai”: Ouch
There are lots of horses all over the place in “The Last Samurai,” and as every actor or actress knows, animals of any kind will make filming a movie more difficult and even dangerous. One poor extra knows this even more than most.
At one point during the middle of the film, Tom Cruise's character rides his horse into a group of soldiers who are standing at attention. As Cruise dismounts, the horse kicks backward, catching the poor extra right between the legs. Like...RIGHT between the legs. Thanks to the armor he was wearing, he manages to stay in character and props to him.
“American Sniper”: That New Baby Smell
“American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as an Iraq War veteran who has problems adjusting to civilian life again, is said by many to be a very accurate portrayal of the difficulties some soldiers can have when returning home. One aspect, however, wasn't so realistic.
Cooper very clearly picks up and cradles a plastic baby. Meaning... no one who was watching the film and has ever seen a baby thought for a moment that it was anything other than a fake, plastic baby. Cooper himself even laughed about it later on, during an interview with Ellen Degeneres: “I couldn't believe that we were working with a plastic baby...I was just like, this is nuts.”
“Commando”: The Magical Rebuilding Car
The 1985 movie “Commando” includes plenty of fun action scenes with our man Arnold, and one of those scenes is a long car chase sequence. One of the characters is driving a Porsche, and as you might expect from an eighties action movie that stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, the car is pretty beat up by the end of the scene.
In the next scene, however, the car has somehow been rebuilt and repaired. It's part of the charm of movies in the eighties, which were less about stellar filmmaking and more about making a movie that was simply a lot of fun.
“Gladiator”: A Little Bit of Extra Propulsion
As far as historical movies go, “Gladiator” isn't the most accurate, but it's still remembered as one of the best. During the re-enactment of the Battle of Carthage, a chariot hits a wall and flips over, revealing a gas canister hidden in the back to help the vehicle get up to speed for the movie.
The Romans had plenty of technological advancements, but pressurized gas wasn't one of them. Unfortunately, resetting the entire action scene would have cost too much and taken too long, so they had to go with the shot that they got.
