Want a Little More? Oh, OK!

No film is perfect. Here are a few little goofy mistakes from some favorite holiday movies from IMDB. A Bad Moms Christmas (2017) - Where are we? The character Carla is seen drinking from a RaceTrac gas station cup. There are no RaceTrac gas stations in Chicago, where the film took place. The movie was filmed in Atlanta where RaceTrac is headquartered. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) - Fake snow anyone? A white "Poly Blanket" used as snow for big, flat areas can clearly be seen in a tree during the scenes when Santa and the Sandman are visiting Sylvia and Bud. Bad Santa (2003) - Quick costume change? During a scene in Bob Chipeska's office, Bob's Christmas themed necktie changes style and color. Four Christmases (2008) - Movie driving is always tricky. In one scene, our two main characters are in the car. Based on the background, the car has made a sharp turn but the driver never moves the steering wheel. Whoops! Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) - During the scene at the ice rink café the character of Elenor is eating a corn dog. When the shot shows the café board, corn dogs are not on the menu. Mysterious corn dogs!
