Let's not forget Neil McCauley making the grave error of not killing Waingro when the opportunity presented itself in 'Heat'. That mistake starts the chain of events that ultimately leads to his own demise and his crew members.
Yeah, but it's not like he chose to let Waingro go. I'd argue that Neil McCauley's mistake in Heat was going after Waingro. He was in the home stretch of his escape and would've gotten away with his girl in tow but he wanted payback. His desire for vengeance was totally understandable and not killing Waingro would have probably eaten away at him for the rest of his life but it doomed him in the end.
@@ArcherSuh4721 He could've or rather should've held Waingro down with his foot/knee, preventing him from escaping. Waingro escaping was solely his own mistake. Also, using a Silencer on his gun would've made things a lot simpler.
Makes you wonder if they actually do the research or watch the films before making blunders in these mistakes videos. Maybe someone should make a '10 times whatculture gets the facts wrong' video
To be fair to Harry, he wasn't thinking clearly or logically for most of that book. He had hormones raging, the trauma from Cedric's death and seeing Voldy resurrected, people calling him a liar about what happened, Rita Skeeter, the great pink evil, the Order not telling him anything, Dumbledore mindscrewing him, Voldy mindscrewing him, and Snape mindscrewing him. It's not surprising he made the mistake he did, it's surprising it wasn't worse.
Clearly Adam from WhatCulture never actually watched Snatch otherwise he would have picked up on the error with Mickey there as he was mindlessly regurgitating the script handed to him.
1:12 I can absolutely validate this. My dad worked in a pub in London in the 70s, & he told me that when the Germans came over for a holiday, & ordered one beer they’d put their thumb up.
I think you got the wrong one in the number 1 position, Killing Mickey's mom not only got him killed, but all of his men as well, and that one should of been number 1.
It's kinda hard to buy the Han thing, cause the reason it happened was Harrison Ford didn't wanna come back. Would Han, without being forced through an actor's demand, have really been that stupid?
1:20 he WAS aware of it, he just did it out of habit which doomed them. You can see that he was aware he made a blunder because of how he looked down right after and wasn't smiling anymore.
The problem with calling killing Patroclus a "mistake" is that Hector did it out of necessity to halt the Greeks' counterattack. Hector's real mistakes were either killing Menelaus when Paris lost the duel fair & square (which is in the movie, but NOT the book) OR (in both the movie & the book) waiting outside the walls of Troy to face Achilles alone.
You got snatch wrong about him knocking out his opponent straight away and even showing a clip of Mickey all bloody and cut after the fight probably should’ve watched the film before putting it in the list
I don't see how Brick driving Mickey's odds down favours Mickey. That reduces the winnings. Mickey winning the fight is what gets him a payout although a low one. Doesn't make sense
That warden offed himself at the end of shawshank redemption because they caught him red handed making money off public criminal work so why would there be for profit prison these days doesn't make sense.
For the same reason that child labor is suddenly A-okay again. Because things that were once considered immoral or unethical or reprehensible can quickly become acceptable when there's enough opportunity for profit or power. Also though, I think he was embezzling the money he made.
Sonny Corleone letting his anger prompt him to leave the family compound without his retinue of bodyguards to seek vengeance on his domestic abuser brother-in-law Carlo Rizzi, so he was all alone when he drove into a tollbooth ambush.
Mickey didn't knock the guy out in the first round. The first match he fights, yes he does. The second fight he drops him with one punch but the fight goes a few rounds
The real mistake in Troy was when the prince agreed to fight an enemy soldier 1 on 1. Achilles should have been riddled with arrows. Imagine Putin went up to the white house gates and started shouting “Biden!” expecting a fight to the death 🤦🏾♂️
Do some basic research ffs. Patroclus was Achilles LOVER, not his cousin. This was changed to make the film more palatable to homophobic audiences in 2004 but there is no excuse for compounding that erasure in 2024. Shame on you!
