Best of the Worst #2 - More Movie Mistakes!

Here are five more Best of the Worst mistakes made in movies!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
The movie's villain, Khan Noonien Singh, was first introduced into Star Trek lore in the Original Series episode Space Seed. At the beginning of this film, he recognizes Chekov and says he "never forgets a face". However, Space Seed was a season one episode, and Checov was not introduced into the series until season two, so Khan should not have known Chekov at all.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
When Harry and Hermione go back in time and witness events earlier in the movie, nearly every single event takes a ridiculously longer amount of time the second time through than they did the first time. Some events happen differently all together. It's not like they are changing the past, because the way time travel works in the Harry Potter world cannot change the past, anything they do the second time was done the first time, just unbeknownst to them.

National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets (2007)
Do I even need to say? Forgive me, I do all these mistakes from memory and I haven't seen National Treasure 2 in years. But I do remember that if you actually sat down and did the math, you'd notice that next to NONE of the clues add up. Some of them would have had to have been made before the next clue could have even existed. After the first movie being such a great movie, the whole sequel itself was one big mistake anyway.

The Hunger Games (2012)
At the end of the film when Katniss, Peeta, and Cato are surrounded by the Muttations ontop of the cornucopia, Katniss only has one arrow that she shoots Cato in the hand with. However, when she mercy-kills Cato from the Mutts, she suddenly has another arrow.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
I can probably list one mistake from this movie in every single Best of the Worst post (and probably will. As much as I love the Indiana Jones movies, I can't deny that this film is full of mistakes). This movie is riddled with mistakes, but one of the most aggravating to me is the amount of unsynchronized audio clips. So many lines of dialogue in the movie don't match up to the actors' lip movements. This happens throughout the entire film. Who edited this film? Michal Khan...
