Bird on a Wire - Jeans Down, Jeans Up!
In the scene where Mel Gibson is getting minor surgery on his butt performed by an old vet friend at her ranch he is seen to stand up and pull up and fasten his Jeans while in coversation with the vet, the film then moves to a shot of a helicopter approaching the ranch, the camera then reverts back to Mel who suddenly jumps of the treatment table on hearing the helicopter and runs off struggling to pulling up his Jeans in panic although he had already pulled them up in the previous scene.

I read somewhere shortly after this movie came out that Mel Gibson had a "butt double" for this scene of the movie. That slip-up sounds like they didn't coordinate Mel Gibson's scene with the one of the person standing in as his butt double.

That's not the way I remember the goof up. Mel's character was lying face down, with his pants down. When he sat up, his pants we suddenly all the way up, then, when Goldie Hawns character saw then embracing and ran away, Mel's character got off the table and was pulling up his pants.
