I watched Pee Wees Big Adventure yesterday. We had a copy taped off tv when I was a kid and the change from widescreen to full let you see the chain flowing through the bottom of the bike compartment.
Also on The Simpsons when Homer visited the Duff Brewery there is a joke where one pipe flows into three vats of "different" Duff beers. But when they changed it to widescreen the pipe is cut off ruining the joke.
Any other examples?

Tim Burton mentioned that on the Pee Wee's Big Adventure comedy that some thought it was a surreal gag and he's like no just the aspect ratio screw up. |

Friends in widescreen where the edges of the widescreen frame have a character who is clearly not saying the lines you hear being said.

See Tim Burton being who he is he could have just lied and said it was intentional. It was just the fullscreen though. The widescreen was fine. |

I remember a King of Queens episode where you could see people standing outside the door and there was jump cut that was made super obvious by them suddenly jolting around.

The death of "pan and scan" might be the single best thing that has happened to movies in the last 20 or so years.

The first season of Angel was broadcast in 4:3 and filmed with that in mind, so when it was later released in widescreen there were multiple instances of actors who had previously been off screen visibly waiting for their cues.

Is that on the dvds or just streaming? I want to see that. Streaming. Having looked it up, there were similar issues with the second season, as well, though the latter part of that season was filmed with widescreen in mind. A good example is the first episode of season two. Angel, Cordelia and Wesley are walking through a gym, with the camera tracking their reflections in the gym's mirrors rather than following them. Angel, being a vampire, is not visible. To achieve this Charisma Carpenter and Alexis Denisof acted the scene as if Angel were there, and when the shot moves past the mirrors David Boreanaz pops into frame to continue the scene. In the widescreen release Boreanaz can be seen hiding behind a pillar waiting for Carpenter and Denisof to hit their marks so he can enter the scene.  |

Not sure why this happened,but a bunch of us went to see Tommy Boy opening night. During a scene in a boardroom you could clearly see the boom mic over the head of whoever was talking.
Not being a Farley fan I didn't the movie again until years later. Was the widescreen DVD and you couldn't see the boom in it.

First time I saw Dario Argento's "Deep Red", it was a VHS pan-n-scan rental. If you've seen it, you know that a VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION happens at the beginning, that was cut off by the people who did the scanning. You see it properly at the end but part of the fun is the audience seeing and not realizing.

Here is one from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
During the quick scene at the beginning where Kenny and his friend are in the back of a truck and the friend brings up that Kenny's mom is about to leave for a few months, a boom mic is briefly visible at the top of the screen in the 4:3 version. The widescreen version is fine.

More than likely, the projection operator at your local theater probably screwed up and had the film just slightly out of frame. |

But hey it provided me the only laugh I got out of that film. |

There's a scene in Freddy vs. Jason where Freddy's claws pop out of a magazine and cut Kelly Rowland's nose off. In the 4:3 "pan and scan" version, you can see that the CGI team only animated the claws so far down from Rowland's face and they just cease to exist after a certain point near the bottom of the frame. It's slight, but you'll see it if you're looking for it.

For me he is just a 4th rate John Belushi. But I get that Farley has/had a huge fanbase. Only reason I went to see TOmmy boy was my then wife loved Farley. |
