Ladyhawke

Plot hole: If the curse counts an eclipse as night, then Navarre should have turned into a wolf during the eclipse. If the curse does not count the eclipse as night, then Isabeau should have remained a hawk. In neither case would they both have been human at the same time.

Suggested correction: That is the whole point; it is neither day nor is it night. Each only suffers the curse when it is specifically day or specifically night. Any time it is not one of those two events, the curse is not active, as shown earlier in the movie when both are human for seconds during a time in between day and night.

Trivia

Trivia: In the days before ubiquitous digital technology, the majority of visual effects in film were "practical" effects using stuntmen and props on wires, springboards, flash-pots, et cetera. In "Ladyhawke" (which was decidedly on the low-end of visual effects budgets), one of the most dangerous practical effects is seen when Matthew Broderick and Rutger Hauer have a heated discussion in the woods and seem about to part company. As Broderick turns to leave, Hauer's 53" longsword sizzles past the boy's left shoulder and embeds in a tree trunk, to Broderick's horror. In fact, the steel sword was real and hurtled to its target on a guide-wire, barely 8 inches from Broderick's back. If you slow-advance the scene, you can see the sword actually changing trajectory in-flight, it was so unstable. The sword came up in a Hollywood memorabilia auction in 2002 but was not sold. http://www.icollector.com/Rutger-Hauer-prop-special-effects-sword-from-Ladyhawke_i169815.
