Visible crew/equipment: While Eddie visits Peary to have a chat about being an Olympic ski jumper, Peary tells him he has more chance of being a ballerina and he rolls under the car to work on it. Then when Eddie mentions Sharp, just as Peary rolls out from under the car we can see the bulging outline of the mic's hidden bodypack transmitter and its wire on Peary's chest. (00:27:05)
Eddie the Eagle (2016)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Dexter Fletcher
Starring: Christopher Walken, Hugh Jackman, Taron Egerton, Tim McInnerny
Continuity mistake: During several of Eddie's jumps and most notably his final 90m attempt, the advertisement on the underside of Eddie's skis changes during the jump as the camera shot cuts back twice in a slow motion shot. The advertisement changes from "Fischer" to "fleuge.de", both of which are commonly seen on modern day jumping skis, not on skis of the time.
Eddie Edwards: I've been kicked off every team before I even got a chance to prove myself.
Trivia: Eddie is given a heartfelt pep talk by his idol Matti Nykänen, the Finnish ski jumper. Nykänen actually spoke no English at all.
