Corrected entry: Right after the scene where Kevin Costner leaves his meeting with Donald Sutherland in Washington he returns home. A news bulletin comes on the TV featuring scenes of the now famous Zapruder film. However at the end of the movie, during his closing comments at the court case, Costner informs us that the film has never been released to the public. Funny how NBC has a copy.
Corrected entry: During the supper Judge Valkenheiser stops the model train and takes some mustard from the tank car on his hot dog, and you see there is nothing else but mustard on the hot dog. But in the next shot when he takes a bite of it, the hot dog is full of ketchup, mustard, schrimp salad etc.
Correction: If you look closely in a few shots after that there is two of the tankers with pumps on the and the 2nd one and two pumps he could have used them.
Corrected entry: In a freefall the wind noise is so strong that you cannot hear other people's voices (no matter how loud). The vocal conversation is impossible. Nevertheless, people in the movie have almost no problems taking to each other in a freefall.
Correction: The wind noise is very loud, but it is possible to talk while skydiving and be heard especially when one skydiver's mouth is right next to another skydiver's ear. It would be difficult to have a lengthy conversation, but the final skydiving scene in this movie would be possible.
Corrected entry: When camera cuts back to Victoria at the baggage claim she takes off her last piece of luggage. For some reason the belt has stopped already, only a minute after it has started, and her suitcase happens to be right there where she is standing. (00:07:40)
Correction: It is stated in the movie that the scene is taking place at the EXECUTIVE terminal. A place for small planes with half a dozen people on them. No need to run the baggage carousel for 1/2 an hour. As for her bag being right there, during the cut away to Corky on the phone, she could have taken a few steps.
Corrected entry: Margaret escapes from the Chinese finger prison, but in the next scene she's still struggling to free herself.
Correction: Not true...grandmama laughs at her because she got caught in it again after they released her the first time.
Corrected entry: When Trey first comes to live with his father, he is ordered to rake the leaves on the lawn. However, after he starts, the camera pans out to reveal there is not a single tree near their house. Down the block there are a couple of palm trees, but they do not produce the kind of leaves he was raking. So where did these leaves come from?
Correction: There is a tree at this house, but not seen in the film. Maybe it was cut from editing.
Corrected entry: When Walter falls from the roof and is hanging on the edge, his feet are the only part which are in front of the window, when shot from outside. Yet the shot from inside the house, looking out the same window, shows Walter from the waist down. (01:05:10)
Correction: Walter is at least a few feet from the window on the roof overhang, and the boys are all sitting on the floor when they look out the window. From their angle they can see more of Walter, much the same way you can see more of a taller object (tree, building, etc.) from a seated position as opposed to a standing one.
Corrected entry: When Idgie rescues Ruth from her husband she comes with Big George and a friend. When they all drive off Big George is missing in the car. (00:48:40)
Correction: Actually, Big George climbs into the rumble seat with Ruth's luggage, you can see him there when they are driving off, but he is not distinct due to the darkness of the car, the seat and Big George's own skin color. He is there, but he is somewhat hard to see.
Corrected entry: Although it's the first day of school, Principal Peabody has a list of suspended students, polaroids hanging on the wall of people who have detention, and Mr. Thorn already has a student chart on his classroom wall with gold stars next to children's names who have done homework assignments.
Correction: It wasn't the first day of school, it was just Junior's first day at his new school.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Julia Roberts is on the bus to Iowa, when she is on the bus, she is seated on the right side of the bus. When they show her traveling into town, she is seated on the left side of the bus.
Correction: There is plenty of time for Laura/Sara to change seats if she desires to.
Bus seats, like trains, are not assigned. If the bus isn't full, passengers can change to a different seat at any time. Buses also make many stops during a trip with passengers getting off and new ones getting on at various points, vacating the seats as they do.
Corrected entry: When Bette Midler is singing 'Stuff Like That There', the power goes off during the middle of the song and all the lights and the sound system goes off. Then to pass time, she sings 'P.S. I Love You' another song and there are blue spotlights on her. Well, I thought the power went out.
Correction: The power did go out but the soldiers used flashlights to create a "spotlight" on her so she would continue to sing.
Corrected entry: At the beginning when the robot is shot at, it goes to scratch its head but it is so obviously someone else's hand and arm doing the scratching as you can see the robot's arm at the same time. (00:03:55)
Correction: This is during the movie within a movie that they are shooting, reflecting the quality of that "fake" film, not this one.
Corrected entry: During the scene in which we see Chad and Alex board the ship pretending to be captor and captive, we see the guard at the top of the ramp grab Alex and push him against the wall. From the shot from behind we see that the guard has a hold of Alex by the collar on his t-shirt, and then in a shot from Alex's point of view, the guard is standing with his arms folded and when scene goes back to first angle the guard is still holding him by the t-shirt.
Correction: I just re-viewed the scene, they are two separate guards. The view from Chad is of Alex and the second guard with his arms crossed. The first guard still has him pinned against the tank.
Corrected entry: When Kenny and his friends enter the store on the bikes, Jimmy the employee calls Kenny "Kenny Barton" even though he knows that his last name is "Binder" in the film.
Correction: He doesn't call him by name, he yells "hey, buddy".
Corrected entry: This error is in the scene with Katana and the cab driver Jerry. When the cab is arriving at the TSC meeting building look to the extreme right and you can see the sun rising between two buildings and the sky is a nice golden yellow colour. Hang on...isn't there supposed to be a shield up leaving the planet in constant darkness with fancy streams of colour? Sack the Special Effects guys. This was in widescreen - may not be visible in pan & scan.
Correction: It's not the sun rising, it's a streetlight, and the sky is a red-orange colour.
Corrected entry: When the puppet Torch comes into the bedroom and sets the bed ablaze where Michael is, in the next shot you can hear the fire extinguishers putting out the fire. (01:08:00)
Correction: The only sound heard is the sound from Torch's flamethrower, which could easily be mistaken for the sound of an extinguisher.
Corrected entry: When Topper is frying eggs, bacon, & hash browns on Ramada's belly, you can tell it is actually a fryer shaped to look like a woman's belly. For one thing, her belly doesn't inflate & deflate from breathing, & she doesn't flinch when Topper is melting the ice cube around her belly button.
Correction: Also, if you didn't notice, when Commander Block is having a blood transfusion, in the last shot the person that has the blood drained from him is actually an inflatable man. Its a spoof so pretty much all of it is "Mistakes" to reality.
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie where there are shots of the pilot's hands they are not wearing gloves. In all the services gloves are required safety equipment for flight crew members.
Correction: Yes, flight gloves (only made of Egyptian cotton) are technically "required", but I spent 12 years of my life in Prowlers (electronic attack variant of the Intruder). I hardly ever wore gloves.
Corrected entry: After Bingo pulls off all of Chuckie's clothes, in one shot you can see Chuckie wearing underwear.
Correction: After Bingo pulls off all of Chuckie's clothes, he wakes up to see where he is then Chuckie looks to the other side and see his T-shirt, pants, socks, and underwear hanging on a clothes line he thinking who could took all Chuckie's clothes off he looks at all his clothes hanging on the line then he get up and walks naked to the clothes line he gets to the clothes line naked to put his hand on his underwear to put it on in one shot you can see Chuckie wearing underwear.
Corrected entry: After Sean Austin's character comes back from switching the chips and is in the bathroom, the student in the red shirt enters the bathroom by pulling on the door - the next shot the door opens inwards.
Correction: When the student pulls on the door, you can see it doesn't lead directly to the bathroom. There is a hallway and then you walk into the bathroom. So, the outside door was opened by pulling, and the inside door was opened by pushing.
Correction: What he means near the end is that the ENTIRE film has never been released for analysis, only the safe, sanitized clips of it we are all familiar with.
