Not exactly malpractice, as the point of that sketch was the point that the tiger was out of place. Also it was two guys in a tiger suit.
I know. I just didn't fell like typing it
I just saw "Jaws: The Revenge", the movie that started this thread, and it is truly a stinker.
Among other things the great white in the movie:
1. Roars like a lion
2. Leaps out of the water and into boats to attack people
3. Follows the Brody family around like a hit man to take them out one by one in revenge for killing the sharks in the previous Jaws movies (I am not making this up)
4. Swims from Martha's Vineyard to the Bahamas in a period of 24 hours, following the Brody family so it can exact its revenge on them.
If you don't mind massive Hollywood fauna fraud and are in the mood for a howlingly bad movie, then this may fill the bill.

Who could have known that sharks had the ability to read maps?
Katy Perry - Roar (Official) - YouTube -- Katy Perry's latest video, "Roar" featuring animals from different continents all in one jungle!
Mary Poppins has an American robin in the 'a spoonfull of sugar' scene.
Many American-made films and tv shows feature night time scenes with cicadas and all kinds of bugs chirping away. Such as a Murder She Wrote special set in Ireland and World War Z where there is a scene of Cardiff at night. Cardiff also looks like the Scottish highlands.
I'm pretty sure the live action '101 Dalmations' features such typical British fauna as skunks and raccoons in one scene.

- I noticed the same thing. I still liked the video, but my inner animal geek was telling me that it made no sense. The animals I counted were a African Elephant, Tiger (hybrid?), Capuchin Monkey, Tarantula, Croc and a Rhinoceros Hornbill.
The Tiger was most likely an AmurXBengal hybrid based on the size and look of the animal. Also, I believe most, if not all, Tigers used in circuses and movies/videos are hybrids of this kind. The crocodiles looked more like an alligator to me, at least in the first shot (though it, obviously wasn't real). I also counted a Blue-and-Gold Macaw, an Eclectus Parrot (?), and another bird.

My feeling is this: Look what Disney did with Marvel's properties. Then look what George did with his own prequels. Nuff said.
So far Disney has only done two things with Marvel's properties - Avengers and Iron Man 3. So that is one good film and one bad film
The latter Star Wars prequels were better than the first one, but it doesn't make any of them good
Not from what I've seen/heard! Remember, there's a difference between a good idea, and a good film.

Did you actually see it?
At the end of the day, as long as you enjoy it, then to hell with everyone else - critics included.
