BLOOPERS
And as Joe E. Brown once said, "Nobody's perfect." There are several continuity errors within Jim Carrey's filmography and here you'll find a list of them. If you think we've bloopped in some of the bloopers, or have new ones to add, just drop us a line.
Pick a movie
- In the scene where Walter is imagining himself killing his wife, the bed sheets change from silver to red momentarily after he wakes up.
- Right after Walter has the nightmare about killing his wife, he wakes up and turns around to see the alarm clock show 11:12. The clock makes a flipping sound when it switches to the next minute, just like those alarm clocks from the 1980s that have those little numbered plastic cards inside. However, it's a digital alarm clock and they do not make such sounds.
- To submit new bloopers from The Number 23? All you'll need to do is fill a simple form.
- When Alec Baldwin writes the check, the date is different when he hands it to Jim Carrey.
- When Dick robs the store, a sign on the cash register reads "You must be born after this date in 1983 to buy beer." Since the legal drinking age is 21, that would mean the movie is set in 2004. However, the film states that the year is 2000.
- When we see Jane spotting her friends you can see a Nissan Xterra. But the one shown is a 2003-2004 model, but this movie takes place in 2000.
- When Dick is robbing the first convenient store, the clerk changes from the guy sitting reading the magazine to the big guy. Yet when he is seen running out of the store the guy reading the magazine is back behind the counter, still reading his magazine.
- When Dick and Jane go through the puddle after robbing the store with the black lights in them, it shows an exterior shot of Dick with his hood up. In the immediate interior shot, his hood is back down.
- In the scene where Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Aunt Josephine are being attacked in the boat by the Lachrymose leeches, you can see Violet has her hair down. When Count Olaf pulls up to them in his boat, Violet has her hair tied back with her ribbon.
- Olaf and Violet's marriage certificate bursts into flames after the light from the magnifying glass hits it. The papers would not burst into flames, despite the size of his magnifying glass, it should have just burned a hole. Obviously done to be dramatic.
- In the scene where Count Olaf starts walking from the balcony to the stairs, you can see his right hand when he is saying "lovely home" with no writing. Later when he looks at his hand to remember Violet's name, his hand has writing on it.
- When Stephano first arrives it is fairly dark outside. But when Stephano runs back into the Reptile Room and says he really looked forward to the milking it is fairly light through the window.
- When Count Olaf grabs Klaus' face, he holds his head with both hands. When it cuts, he's suddenly let go of Klaus' head with his right hand.
- When Count Olaf and the Baudelaires are driving home from court, Olaf says "Children, I've been contemplating our situation." while looking at the kids in the mirror. It cuts as he says "situation" but now he is suddenly looking straight forward at the road.
- When Joel first meets Clementine on the beach, the close up shot of her shows her feet in the water. In the next shot near Joel, seeing her in the distance, the sea is much lower down and the sand isn't wet.
- When Joel awakes he looks at his dented car. When he walks in between the cars to look at the back of his own car, you can see the reflection of a boom mic being poked round to pick up his footsteps.
- While in Joel's memories there is a scene when Clem surprises Joel with her new hair color and that's when Joel starts calling her "tangerine". Since the memories are going backwards up to the time when they first met, Clem's hair is still orange when it should be a different color since she doesn't change it until later on.
- When Joel gets out of bed at the beginning, he flips back the corner when sitting up. In the next shot, he kicks off the comforter, but the corner is back over him again.
- When Jim and Jennifer are in the kitchen and Jennifer is commenting on how she thinks her boobs have gotten bigger, Jim is squirting ketchup onto his plate. When he first does this the ketchup goes everywhere all over his plate, cuts to Jennifer and then back to Jim and the ketchup is now in a nice neat pile.
- When Bruce talks to his boss, after the boss buys a sandwich, Bruce's shirt collar is tucked under his jacket. However, in the next shot the collar is straight.
- When Bruce is in the rain with the blue shirt, you can see his microphone under his shirt about 6 inches below his neck.
- When Bruce plays the finger game with God and puts his hands behind his back his shirt keeps hanging loose, except for one shot where it looks as if he had pulled it back with his right hand.
- Right before Bruce changes into the cloud shirt and black pants from the store, the people in the background disappear.
- When Bruce tries to keep Grace's perky picture out of her reach he holds the picture up over his head. When the camera angle changes the hand with the picture is on his chest.
- After Jim Carrey crashes the car on the bridge and, we see in the long shots that the lamp on the half-broken post above him is swinging from side to side. However each time we cut to a closeup of Carrey's face, it is lit very evenly - although the only source of light nearby is swinging wildly.
- If you look carefully you will see that all the cars have license plates with 7 characters on the plates. California did not introduce license plates with 7 characters until the early 1980's.
- In the very end, when Peter is returning to town, as the train rounds the bend you can see much newer style electrical transformers on the power poles. If you look close you can see a modern style street lamp also.
- The film is set in 1951 but Peter and Adele have their first dance to the tune "Stranger On The Shore" which was first released in 1961.
- In the post office, when the Grinch is mixing up the packages, one of them falls on the ground and in the next shot, it's gone.
- After the Grinch stole all of the presents, Officer Wholihan gets into his police car and drags the mayor's bed from out of his house. When the bed smashes through the window it breaks the top off the middle post of the bed. Then when it comes back to the shot of the bed it's been fixed.
- As the Grinch and Max stand by the 'Dumpit to Crumpit' pipe, Max is missing his collar. It's back on him after they arrive at the dump.
- In the scene where the Grinch is accepting the Holiday Cheermiester award, Jim Carrey holds up his hand and his palm is facing the camera and you can see the piece of his suit has been slipped over his thumb to make it green and furry.
- While talking to Charlie's sons, one of the detectives says that Charlie shot a prized cow in the head 6 times, however, counting the actual shots, there's 1 shot, then 2, and then 6 more, making a total of 9 shots instead of 6.
- In "Me, Myself & Irene", when Charlie is hitting the cow, he throws his gun away, but when the cow is supposely dead, he lies on the ground and the gun is just next to him...
- Near the end Jim Carrey's character gets his thumb shot off. If you look carefully you can see his thumb tucked into his hand in the following scenes.
- When Jim Carrey is in the office scene with the two officers you see the microphone head pop into the shot. And when the midget is hitting Jim when he is younger then the microphone again pops into the shot. Later on in the movie Jim had shown his penis to loads of people and he falls onto the ground, whilst doing this he is holding his head but as he falls on the floor by magic his belt is fully fastened again, how could he have done that in a split second!
- When he does the Elvis impression, just before he turns around he has the guitar with him but then in the next shot he doesn't.
- In the office Kaufman's agent tells him that he has a gig with a major network - he doesn't say what network - yet Kaufman tells Danny DeVito that ABC has give him what he wants.
-When Andy first appears on SNL, the announcer says "Welcome back to Saturday Night Live." It wasn't called Saturday Night Live when it first started.
- When Shapiro meets Tony Clifton for the first time Tony is eating spaghetti, sucking them in in a rather gross manner. When the camera angle changes you see the same spaghetti disappear in his mouth again.
