George of the Jungle

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Lyle and Ursula slide through the river then over the falls, when they go over the waterfall they are both dry.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where George hits the tree and falls on a branch with green stuff on it, you can catch a glimpse of his briefs.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where George is teaching Ursula how to swing on vines, George crashes into a tree. When he lands on the net the gorillas have you can see bits of a black trampoline underneath the cover.

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the movie, in the scene where Lyle and Ursula are in the rapids, Ursula takes control of the paddles. In one shot she has both paddles in her hands. In the next shot you can see one floating down the rapids, and when the shot switches again, you see that she has both paddles in her hands again.

Visible crew/equipment: The last time we see George in California he is running down the road. When the camera moves up you can see the shadow of the camera man and camera crane on the ground as clear as day.

Audio problem: When George is in Ursula's apartment after his shower, Ursula covers his behind with a bowl, saying "Cover the booty." Her mouth doesn't move.

Visible crew/equipment: When George is running back to the jungle from the city, he journeys in a boat along a river. Unfortunately, you can see the wake made by the camera boat in front of the boat in which George is travelling.

Continuity mistake: When Lyle is covering himself with berry juice to represent blood, he swipes some across his forehead. His forehead already has the red mark on it before his hand crosses his forehead.

Deliberate mistake: Every time George swings into a tree, there is a George shaped impression created. However, in the next scene the tree is back to its natural shape.

Continuity mistake: When George pounds his elbow into the lion, the lion's head is facing the same way George is going as he jumps up, but as he lands and the lion howls in pain, the lion is facing the other way.

Factual error: The black and white monkeys seen in Africa are in fact Capuchin monkeys. A species native to South America, not Africa.

Factual error: George's "dog", Shep, is an Asian elephant. However, the jungle scenes take place in Africa.

Ursula's mother: When Lyle returns, this wedding will proceed as planned. If you do anything to upset that, I'll remove your reason for wearing a loincloth.

Trivia: In what must have to be the subtlest type of product endorsement in film history, check out the fireplace when Ursula is telling her parents about George. The scrollwork on the top (with a Medusa's head and even the alternating zigzag pattern) is the design for VERSACE.

More trivia for George of the Jungle

Question: In the scene where Lyle returns, he tells his missionaries to subdue George. I think one of them is a young Colin Farrell, but I didn't see his name in the credits. Did he have an uncredited role? Can someone help, as I don't have the DVD to check up on it?

Answer: There's certainly no listing for him on the IMDb, which is generally good with uncredited appearances. Farrell was still working in the UK and Ireland at the time of the film, which was entirely US shot, and didn't become involved in Hollywood productions until about the year 2000, three years after GOTJ came out, which would seem to make it extremely unlikely that he appeared in it.

Answer: So frustrating that only three of the mercenaries are credited when there are 5 of them! I agree that one looks exactly like Colin Farrell.

Answer: No Collin Farrell was not in the movie.
