Flipper (1996)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Alan Shapiro
Starring: Elijah Wood, Jonathan Banks, Paul Hogan, Robert Deacon
Continuity mistake: When Sandy is waiting for the ferry, he is playing with his Gameboy. When he sees Flipper, and tosses the can in, you can see he is still holding the Gameboy. However, when Flipper throws the can back Sandy catches it with both hands and is no longer holding his Gameboy. After he drops the can, we see that the Gameboy is back in his hand.
Uncle Porter: You're going to have to use your brain which is going to hurt because it's the weakest muscle in your body.
Trivia: In some parts of the film, Sandy is wearing a Smashing Pumpkins T-shirt - Elijah Wood's (Sandy) favourite band.
