Other mistake: Dennis Quaid is supposed to be frozen in a wall of ice but if you watch closely, and very quickly, you can see him blink his eyes.
Caveman (1981)
Directed by: Carl Gottlieb
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long, Ringo Starr, Jack Gilford
Genres: Comedy
Visible crew/equipment: After Tonda forces Atouk to eat the flower's fruit (looks like a radish) Atouk gets dizzy, and when he falls backwards the corner of the grey crash mat can be seen on the grass, at the bottom of the screen.
Continuity mistake: Atouk takes a white pumpkin from Gog and throws it at the dinosaur. When it lands on the dinosaur's horn the pumpkin is orange.
Atouk: Zug-zug.
Question: What song is everyone whistling while they're carrying the giant egg?
Answer: The song being played is "Colonel Bogey March", which has the whistling in it. No one carrying the egg were whistling themselves though. Although in one shot I did see a character breathing out (something people do when lifting or carrying heavy things) which might look like he's whistling.

Answer: The music playing while they are carrying the giant egg is from, "The Bridge on the River Kwai." It's a classic World War II movie, soldiers marching into a Japanese prison camp are whistling that tune.
