#16: Watch Out for the Street Sweeper
Mistake: The street sweeper in the background doesn’t touch the floor with the broom
James Bond, the International Man of Mystery, might have his charm, but let’s take a moment to shine the spotlight on someone equally captivating – the enigmatic Broom Guy. While he may not have an official name, this extra knows how to steal the scene without saying a word. Who would’ve thought that sweeping could be so captivating, even when the likes of Bond share the screen?
Now, here’s the delightful twist. If you peer closely into the background of Quantum of Solace, you’ll discover that our broom-wielding protagonist is sweeping a few feet above the floor. It’s as though he’s performing a high-stakes balancing act with his trusty broomstick. Maybe it’s to keep the sound of sweeping from interrupting the delicate art of sound recording, but at this point, it’s safe to say that natural acting has taken a backseat.
