Mistakes

Continuity mistake: In one sequence (in which Ryback tries to save the drowning sailors), Ryback is running with two machine guns and kills a bunch of bad guys, including one guy with a moustache and cap who falls down a flight of stairs. After the machine guns are empty, he pulls out a pistol, slowly goes into another room and, surprise! the same guy appears, gets shot and falls down the stairs! Its obvious they ran out of guys to kill in the film, so they just ran the same film twice to look more violent.

Questions

Question: Does anyone how many times they had to retake the scene where Gary Busey asks Tommy Lee Jones if he looks like he needed a psychiatrist? Tommy Lee looks so serious when he says "not at all." I just can't see him doing that part and still keeping a straight face. Are there any outtakes or bloopers from the film?

Answer: Think the fact that Strannix looks at Krill with a straight face actually added humor to the scene.

Answer: Also, the more times the scene is practiced or additional takes, the less funny it is to the actors. So, it would be easy by the time of filming for Strannix to not laugh. Just like if you have seen a classic comedy TV show, the audience is always laughing because it's generally their first time seeing the scene when filmed. But you as a viewer, seeing the show a hundred times over the years, do not laugh because you have seen it so many times. That, to YOU, it's not funny anymore. Same rules apply here for the actors while filming.
