Visible crew/equipment: When Alexandra is being harassed by the hagglers, she gets into a man's truck after he tells her he knows where to take her. As the truck drives out of the shot the camera is reflected in the window.
Nim's Island (2008)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin
Starring: Gerard Butler, Jodie Foster, Abigail Breslin, Michael Carman
Factual error: Alex Rover travels from San Francisco in a large plane to Borneo, then a small plane to Rarotonga, then a small boat to Tuvalu, then a helicopter to the Buccaneer cruise ship (located close enough to Nim's Island at 20S-162W for her to row there). My globe shows these places to generally be too far from one another given the particular mode of transport. Borneo and Tuvalu are too far out of the way to fit with this story.
Jack: Be the hero of your own life story.
Alex Rover: Don't hand me that line - I wrote that line.

Chosen answer: No. Gerard Butler plays Alex Rover because Nim imagines him looking like her father. Alexandra Rover sees him like that merely for the sake of consistency within the film.
