Angel Bloopers

[El Diablo Robotico]

The "Buffy Bloopers" thread inspired me to start this one, since I seem to be a little better at spotting them on "Angel" than on "Buffy" for whatever reason.

Anyway, in the big fight scene at the beginning of "War Zone", right near the end of it you can spot a guy in the background with a sword raised, poised to strike. He's so completely unmoving, and so exact in his position in shots taken from multiple angles, that it's pretty obviously a statue of some kind. The funny thing is, it doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight while all the action is raging, where you'd think it'd blend in better--it's only there as everything has pretty much already wound down.

In "Reunion", Cordy has a vision as they're all driving along in the Angelmobile, and Angel has to slam on the brakes, do a 180, and head in the other direction to get to where the trouble's happening. As the car makes its turn, take a close look at Cordelia--she seems to have suddenly turned into a mannequin.

And in "Reprise", when they're having the big meeting to summon the Senior Partner at W&H, a very distinctive extra (blue shirt, kind of a weird, waxy-looking face) can be seen all over the room much faster than he should be able to get around, short of teleportation.

I just watched War Zone, you're right that statue guy is so obvious. All the vamps have left and gunns' gang were leaving too, 'he' was standing there almost by himself in the alley, as if ready to kill the corpse(?) on the ground under him. But he doesn't move, he just stays there as everyone else leaves.

A couple more:

This one is caused by the DVDs being in widescreen, whereas S2 was originally framed-for and aired in fullscreen. In the teaser of "Judgment", in the gym, there's a shot of a long wall of mirrors where you can see Wes, Cordy, and the gym guy walking along. Camera pivots away from the mirror to the actual gym interior, you see these three still walking, now with Angel out in front (since he couldn't show up in the mirror). Go back to the mirror shot, and if you look on the far righthand side of the screen, you can see DB standing behind a pillar, waiting for the others to catch up with him. Once they do, as the camera pivots, he swings into step in front of them.

In "Long Day's Journey", after the gang arrives at Connor's place to stop the Beast's spell, Connor (injured) and Cordy (taking care of him) wait outside. While it's still daylight, there's an old VW Beetle parked a little ways behind them. Once the sun goes out, the Beetle is gone.
