Revealing mistake: Shelly Long and Bette Midler are running on the beach trying to get in the helicopter's light. In the far shot, when they are running out from under some structure, you can EASILY see that it is two men in drag. They are taller, a bit more "husky" and are having a hard time running in heels.
Outrageous Fortune (1987)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Arthur Hiller
Starring: Bette Midler, Peter Coyote, Shelley Long, Robert Prosky, George Carlin
Factual error: Shelley Long and Bette Midler track down Michael in Tres Cruces, New Mexico. Yet near the end, when they are catching a ride back to town, a town sign reads "Welcome to Tres Crucas". It's unlikely the town would have misspelled its own name.
Sandy Brozinsky: Look, Frank. We're not just jerking you around. Some guys are after us because one of them stole a virus that's gonna kill and destroy all the plants and all the trees all the way around. We stole it back, so now they're gonna kill us. You get it?
Frank: Jesus. The sixties sure were good to you, weren't they?
Lauren Ames: Frank, that's right. Think back to the sixties. People did things for each other.
Frank: They were wasted.
