Character mistake: The movie starts with shots of the moon Io and the company's operations, with typed descriptions at the bottom of the screen. Guess they couldn't afford a proofreader. They spell dependents as dependants, marshal as marshall, and principal as principle.
Outland (1981)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Peter Hyams
Starring: Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, Frances Sternhagen, James Sikking
Continuity mistake: During the infirmary scene where the prostitute is having her injuries examined, Dr Lazarus hands a plastic transparent folder to O'Niel, he then walks towards a door holding the folder in his right hand (filmed from behind) but when he goes through the door (filmed from the front) O'Niel is holding the folder in his left hand.
Lazarus: That's pretty good. Playing by yourself and losing. I'd join you in this dumb game if I could play sitting down. Yes, I'm well, thank you. Been pretty busy. Seems there's some kind of 'flu' going around. You have no idea the number of workers who are going to be sick this Sunday.
Marshal William T. O'Neil: What about you? Are you going to be sick this Sunday?
Lazarus: If you're looking for sterling character you're in the wrong place.
