** Let's not claim that ''any'' blooper is hard to catch in ''Star Wars'', because according to [http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1226 this page], there are ''259'' mistakes in ''[[A New Hope]]'' alone.

* ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' has a sequence where Frank runs his finger down Rocky's chest while singing "ste-e-e-eam". During the utterance, a beep can be heard--someone accidentally bumped a synthesizer while mixing the music (this occurs during the song "Charles Atlas")

** It could be argued that the film ''is'' just one long blooper.

** The reason for this is that Ed Wood never did retakes. Thus, you get goofs like the gravestone being knocked over. And it didn't help that some of the actors were deliberately creating them, just to prod Ed Wood into saying "cut". (He didn't.)

** Though ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' has two of the best bloopers ever. When the car rolls over, you can in one shot see the wire holding the car, a stage-light and a potted plant in the back. The other one is just when the raptors enter the kitchen where you can see a hand wobble one around.

*** And let's not forget that since they cut the shot where she grabs it from the movie itself(it's in the theatrical trailer on the DVD, though), at the end of the Jeep ride near the beginning of the film, Ellie suddenly has an exotic(and according to her, extinct) leaf in her hands from out of nowhere.

* In [[The Wiggles]] ''Magical Adventure'' Captain Feathersword [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzB8k6SnY7M accidentally bumps the breast] of another pirate. It's a tiny little blooper (if she had been wearing a solid color rather than the stripes, no one would have ever noticed), but of the sort that once you have seen it it's hard ''not'' to notice it every time - especially because the pirate reacts to something Feathersword let slip, but it's easy after to wonder if she's reacting to the bump.

* [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] has many wonderful outtakes, including (but not limited to):

** [[Keira Knightley]] making faces.

** The many, many takes it took Elizabeth and Barbossa to perfect the swords tossed up through cracks in the floor catching shot.

* ''Showdown in Little Tokyo'' had at least two. The first one is when Dolph Lundgren's character jumps over a car. He is shown standing by the ''side'' of the car and uses a spring to catapult himself. The second one is when he shoots a pipe to have the steam inside it distract bad guys. A random man can ''clearly'' be seen sitting next to Dolph with a extinguisher and then using it.

* [[An American Werewolf in London]] has a small but noticeable continuity slip as Dr. Hirsch's beer gets fully refilled for a final sip in the pub.

* The Dick Clark - Ed McMahon series ''[[T vs. Bloopers and Practical Jokes]]''.

* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' often features this in regards to an episode's setting, especially since one of the main plot points is that Lorelai and Rory had to have dinner with Emily and Richard [[Once an Episode|every Friday night]].

** This is kind of a CMOH, because Gellar was/is a firm believer in the Angel/Buffy pairing and the scene was causing her to genuinely tear up.

* Being unscripted for the most part, Billy Connolly's world tour of Scotland naturally included the bloopers: one notable one was when Billy's car stalled while he was giving a speech on Robert Bruce.

* In ''[[Dead Rising]]'', the death of the Clown boss involves him falling on his two chainsaws. Yet when he is falling, the saws are held outward, not inward. Of course, seeing him fall on them is [[Rule of Scary]], but it wouldn't have hurt to make sure he was holding them the right way when he fell over.

* A strong one happened in ''[[The Elder Scrolls Four|Oblivion]]'''s expansion, ''Shivering Isles''. {{spoiler|Near the end of The Cold Flame of Agnon quest, the commander of your chosen side sacrifices herself to relight the flame ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]), by performing sepukku. [[Narm|She does it without pulling her sword out of the scabbard.]] That's one sharp scabbard.}}

* The first [[Pajama Sam]] game had one in the 2002 re-release. One of the click points in a dancing room is a poster covered up by a couch. When one of the animations plays, it overlaps the couch. This didn't exist in the original, so it's baffling how it would be there.

* In ''[[Recess]]'', one episode has Gretchen walk to a hole in the playground and mysteriously vanish.

* ''[[Rainbow Brite]]'' has the opening where one of the colour kids was rescued...then mysteriously appears in Murky's vehicle with the other colour kids who were supposed to have not been found yet.

** The first season finale, "A Day Unlike Any Other," has Loki shatter Captain America's shield, which suddenly becomes fixed again in a group shot, then appears shattered again at the end of the episode.
