Detective Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is pursuing a mad bomber...

But too much caffeine has made him cranky.

Decaf to the rescue!

Glaring SPFX Blooper in "The Invisible Woman" (1940) (video)

When playing an "invisible" character, actors once wore black body suits...

...and the black-clad parts would be "invisible" against the matted-in backgrounds.

But in this scene from "The Invisible Woman" (1940), there's a brief slip-up...

...and for a few seconds, we're able to see Virginia Bruce's black arm sleeve against her skirt.

Telephone Pole Blooper in "CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" (Universal-International, 1954) (video)

This classic monster-hunt adventure takes place in the farthest unexplored reaches of the Amazon.

A place untouched by human beings and their scientific gadgets.

So you wouldn't expect to find even the smallest trace of modern technology...much less, a telephone pole. 

Matted widescreen versions of the movie obscure the telephone pole.

But not the original full screen version.

I guess even the Creature has to call Mom on Mother's Day!

Footy Pajamas Kid vs. The Blob ("THE BLOB", 1958) (video)

 

The Blob terrorizes the town!

Steve McQueen does his best to stop it!

But all hope may, in fact, depend upon...

...Danny, the footy pajamas kid.

Painful-Looking Stunt in Vampire Classic "NEAR DARK" (1987) (video)

In Kathryn Bigelow's widely-revered cult classic...

...Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) is a novice vampire still discovering his new abilities.

Such as being able to knock a man across a barroom with one punch.

The stunt man gets yanked backward by a (visible) cable...

...and is supposed to land flat on a pool table.

Instead, his spine sharply strikes the edge of the table.

Which looks much more painful than planned.
