Avalanche mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The editing of the ski jumping competition is a disaster movie in itself: first we see #35 jumping and wearing a helmet while wearing a red and blue suit. Then comes #6, who starts to ski wearing a helmet and a marine blue suit, but when he jumps it's skier #35 again but now his helmet is gone. Now comes a new skier, #26, wearing a dark blue suit. When he picks up speed he is suddenly no-helmet #35 and -drumroll - when he jumps he's now yet a new skier, #27.

Deliberate mistake: When the father jumps on the firemen's jumping sheet, one can see that he's very few centimetres away from safely landing on it. However, in the immediate close-up he crashes against the floor, which is more dramatic, but ludicrous nonetheless.

Revealing mistake: When Caroline (Mia Farrow) is hanging off the broken bridge railing, in the wide angles she is replaced by an obvious stunt. Furthermore, when David rescues her, the stunt woman is always acting calmed and natural, even helping David, as opposed to the close-ups of Farrow, nervous and trembling.
