In 2009 you might think that Hollywood editors would have the technological skills to avoid releasing major motion pictures full of mistakes. But you would be wrong. In the age of CGI and 3 dimensional effects, films still hit the big screen riddled with editing errors.

In a poll rating the most gaffe-prone finished film products of 2009, a website for the savvy viewer, Moviemistakes.com has ranked Zac Efron’s ‘17 Again’ number one on their blunder list. ‘17 Again’ is one of those do-over comedies, which also stars Matthew Perry as a man who gets sent back to his youth. It contains 94 continuity errors and other minor muck-ups.

Editor of moviemistakes.com, Jon Sandys says, “This isn’t meant to be assigning blame — generally these are noticed by the biggest movie fans, even in films they loved. That said, you wonder how some of these blunders get past the editing room.”

Tied for second in this year’s poll are ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ and ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,’ with a whopping 71 oversights each.

Over 900 errors were spotted and reported to moviemistakes.com this year by film lovers with keen eyes for detail.

Ringing up 29 goofs each and tying for third place were big name blockbusters, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ and ‘Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.’ 

‘Apocalypse Now’ remains reigning champion of the most mistakes of all time with 390 blunders, but holding the second and third place positions are two ‘Harry Potter’ films. ‘The Prisoner of Azkaban’ gets the silver with 296 blunders, while ‘the Chamber of Secrets’ was a close third, tallying up 289.
