Continuity mistake: During the climax, when the old-fashioned Atari-controller is lowered down from the UFO, watch closely. In the first two shots, it's swinging back and forth rather quickly and dramatically, however, immediately from the third shot on, it's suddenly barely swinging. It's too instantaneous between edits to be the result of it naturally losing momentum.
Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (2014)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: James D. Rolfe, James Rolfe, Kevin Finn
Starring: Jeremy Suarez, Bobby Reed, James D. Rolfe, James Rolfe, Sarah Glendening
Revealing mistake: About seven minutes in, during the scene where we see Cooper helping the Nerd as a cameraman, you can tell that Cooper has been added to the scene using green-screen effects, as the actor was unavailable to shoot at the location. The lighting on Cooper doesn't quite match the lighting of the scene, and you can see a slight "blur/feathering effect" around him where the greenscreen background was removed.
The Angry Video Game Nerd: Cooper. If you want to be a nerd like me, you gotta make some unique sacrifices. No physical fitness, no social popularity and most important, no girls.
Trivia: The film (a spin-off James Rolfe's video-game review series "The Angry Video Game Nerd") was partially inspired by Rolfe constantly being asked to review the infamous Atari-2600 game "E.T.- The Extra Terrestrial." However, due to legal copyright issues, the game had to be altered somewhat to be featured in the film. Rolfe decided to humorously re title the game "Eee Tee" in this film, and make small cosmetic changes to the graphics (such as giving "Eee Tee" a moustache) to make it able to be legally included.
