  1. Wobzie =3 says:

    =O FIRST x]

    teehee citroen fail

  2. cicili says:

    Looking for Johnny Depp!

  3. only a few decades out….

  4. cicili says:

    The movie was really well done.

  5. ultio says:

    Oh, there I’ve parked my car, I was searching it for years.
    I like pizza, by the way.

  6. Aja says:

    Dare I say BMW win?

  7. This is the problem of period pieces, where filming takes place you always have one person who does not want the inconvenience of moving….(or an actor not taking his watch off!)

  8. dealmasen says:

    did they die?

  9. *paints car bright green*

    now you will not be able to see it when the film comes out!

  10. Aja says:

    O, great, they added an arrow. Would have never spotted it otherwise. : roll:

    • Still missing the neon sign though!

      • Aja says:

        Also, shouldn’t the period cars have license plates?

        • Mmmmm dunno, and technically the road surface is also wrong.

          • Blackqhat says:

            I don’t know if they had license plates at the time and yes, it should be more like Cobblestones instead of paved, but unless you want to build another street, and CGI street would look odd, all you could do is hope someone wouldn’t notice.

            • please suspend belief this much *holds hands up a foot apart!*

              • fluffy says:

                License plates were around almost as long as cars were.

                • I honestly did not have a clue about that thankyou :)

                  • Jimbo is bored says:

                    You guys should read the book this movie is based on. I just finished it and I was very impressed. I was also shocked to know that Dillinger was arrested in Middletown, Ohio. That’s my hometown. Clyde Barrow was arrested here too. (And they had both license plates and asphalt paving in the 30s, especially on urban streets. Come on guys, this is only 70 years ago.)

                    • Asphalt was about yes- but not at the grade shown here, and probably not on a residential street- we still have cobbles on some of ours for goodness sake!

                      • Basara says:

                        Many states only had rear license plates (and for that matter, that’s still true). Ohio, of course, being one of the most anal 2-plate states (having spent my childhood south of Middletown, in Hamilton as the son of a car salesman).

                        License plates started being used in some states over 100 years ago, but it took longer for some states to start using them, as before WWI interstate vehicle travel was almost unheard of, and it took the Model T being released in large numbers (the period right before the US entered WWI) to make vehicles so indistinctive, as to require some way to tell 1 Model T from the 1000s of others in the same city (before then, between colors, body styles, and there being literally hundreds of manufacturers, cars were almost as distinctive as fingerprints)

                        Asphalt was primarily used on highways before WWII, with cobbles or concrete making up most city streets until the 50s or later. Typically, it depended on what was available, and there was a LOT more infrastructure built up for doing cement/concrete (as concrete, or the matrix to infuse with cobbles, or lay bricks on – yes there were brick streets too), than Asphalt, initially.

  11. Copy & Paste Copy & Paste Copy & Paste & Eat The Pie says:

    It happened again…

  12. lvick says:

    those soccer moms getting in the way!!!

  13. sed says:

    youtube or it never happened

  14. Spastic Paki says:

    Is there any reason to think this is REALLY a shot from the movie ‘Public Enemies’? I call this a fail fail.

  15. boner salad says:

    THIS JUST IN, NASA HAS LANDED ON A PLANET BELIEVED TO CONTAIN LIFEFORMS SUCH AS OURSELVES BASED IN PREVIOUS TIME OF 50 YEARS PASSED.

  16. flo says:

    did the car explode ?

  17. MikeisMike says:

    ….i don’t believe this is from footage of Public enemies, or even the set.

    • MoPa says:

      The exterior “sets” for “Public Enemies” were primarily locations (Chicago’s Lincoln Park area, specific sites in Wisconsin and northern Indiana) in which the true events unfolded. The Jeep is sporting a current Illinois license plate placing this in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

  18. Valdi says:

    I bet the license plate reads “Drunk.” >_>

  19. Laura says:

    Why do people comment such random shit!?!?! Comment about the actual entry!

  20. Jimbo is bored says:

    Someone invented a time machine and put it in a Jeep, very smart. That’s a much better idea than a police call box.

  21. wtf says:

    dont got it ._.

  22. In reply to my comment awaiting moderation- this is what the same street looks like today

  23. joiex says:

    yes, this movie is a Fail

  24. Monkey says:

    My nuts are itchy

  25. leon says:

    obviously this guy downloaded an illegal copy of the movie and cut the screenshot. shame on this guy!

  26. Drako says:

    Why no one post comments about the picture? everybody start trying to be funny….

  27. Bob-H says:

    It looks like a snapshot of the car, and not a scene from a movie. Directors usually do not frame a shot of a car with nobody in it, and I think they would notice the SUV behind it.

  28. travis says:

    haha ha… that was on my street, and you can actually see my apartment in the background… the guy who parked there was a set worker. it never got filmed and was moved before cameras were rolling

  29. Nidhesh says:

    is that ur car Travis

  30. Nick says:

    I sort of feel like this might be a deliberate Easter egg. Surely somebody would have noticed, and I imagine in filming they would have closed off the entire street. I’m not necessarily defending the movie, but it’s not like a normal film anachronism where something incorrect sneaks in the far background (e.g., a medieval movie with a distant airplane, or the shadow of a helicopter with the camera); this is a bit too obvious to be even an incredibly stupid mistake.

  31. Sud_Vicious says:

    The only more obvious fail is Johnny Dipp’s acting.

  32. Skyshade13 says:

    Too bad it’s not a Delorian. Then they could make the excuse that it’s a time machine.

  33. brokenyard says:

    Uhh yeah… this is not from the movie.

  34. buba® says:

    buba® thinks it’s marty mcfly.

  35. Bgreen says:

    How in the world can anyone not see that the vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee? It is not a Ford or BMW or Citroën. What a group of Idiots. And why can’t anyone here write comments about the Fail picture instead of everything else that is off topic?

    • Donald Zerli, Patriot says:

      Jeep was bought by Ford several years back, which was bought by BMW, which was bought by Citroën. Citroën then reissued the Grand Cherokee as the Citroën DS.

  36. Bryce says:

    That’s NOT from Public Enemies…

  37. MoonZapdos says:

    Parking fail?

  38. ThaBlob says:

    Citroen win

  39. shugmonkey says:

    It doesn’t look like a film still but a picture someone took on set with their personal camea. The vehicle in question may just belong to a crew member working on the set and likely was moved before any exterior shooting…

  40. frostyrides says:

    shugmonkey. Out of all the comments posted here, you’re actually relates to the picture and indeed seems very plausible. Thank you, you’re comment almost balances out all the idiot respones made by all the d-bags on this site.

  41. Mil says:

    Why is there something that looks like a bit of fence on that car?

  42. Loler the Lol ghost says:

    technological advancement win

  43. Tribat says:

    It’s not listed in IMDB’s “goofs” for the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152836/goofs ergo, it’s not from the movie.

  44. E. Lynd says:

    Fake.

  45. MIGGR says:

    What do you drive?

    Me? that 1921 grand cherokee

  46. Slammer says:

    oh my schlaffen das cack ein yer arsen

  47. mike says:

    its clearly a jeep grand cherokee from 1999-2004

  48. Hates morning says:

    In some of the scenes where they interviewed J Edgar Hoover in Public Enemies you can see a Quizno’s sign in the background…

  49. soapdish says:

    I haven’t seen Public Enemies. Are there a lot of scenes with no actors, just shots of empty cars? And since this isn’t actually from the movie, it’s just a photo of some old-timey cars and one minivan, which isn’t a Fail at all?

    Surprise, Failblog fails again.

  50. Bwakathaboom says:

    The aspect ratio of the shot is a dead giveaway that it’s not taken from the movie.

  51. Madison says:

    public enemies fail? it’s a public enemies win! :D

  52. estrella says:

    LMAO thats not supposed to be there…

  53. Jeremy says:

    This is great! The failed car is actually parked directly in front of my apt!!!

  54. Jesus C. says:

    poop

  55. Alfador says:

    The old ones were the best :p

  56. ghost_warlock says:

    I swear I saw this same photo years ago, supposedly from some other historic film. I’m pretty sure it was a fake then and it’s definitely a fake now.

  57. Someone says:

    OMFG Back to the Future 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is that a Hyundai Santa Fei?

  58. Hankles says:

    Time Masheen Win

  59. Nick12506 says:

    Holy shit, the crazy doctor wasn’t lieing, why did you kill him president bush?!

  60. Gungamellon says:

    I think that what that actually is, is simply a still photo taken by someone working on (or who happened to be near) the set of the movie…I doubt that this is actually captured in a scene, in the movie.

    I don’t see any video posted anywhere, showing that this actually made it into the movie. But I suppose it could happen.

    That would be pretty funny.

    “The internet: Allowing anyone to make their own reality…since 199X.”

  61. none says:

    in what scene / time in the film is this frame seen?

  62. Kelly says:

    I have seen the movie twice now and I have never seen this car. There is barely any scenes in daylight where there is a line of cars like this. Fakey. D:

  63. squall1986 says:

    For all of you who said that it is a Jeep – I agree fully!

  64. It’s OBVIOUSLY a Time travel scene :p

  65. RanKotobuki says:

    I actually live by some of the locations where this movie was shot, they covered up all the buildings with fake signs and stuff, I took pictures of the process, one of the pictures of an old sign I transformed into black and white to make it look old and I submitted it as one of my photographs for the fair just to enter something in the category I thought it best fit, I won the big blue ribbon at the county fair.

  66. Andrew Ong says:

    Anachronism win.

  67. movie making gone awry?
