Buzzkill - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: The driver's side window of the SUV stopped by the wrecked bee truck is down initially. Suddenly, the window is up when the truck driver comes to bang on it.

Continuity mistake: When Nurse Harper comes into the faculty lounge and is talking about pills, watch Coach Willis's hand. He starts to raise his hand to drink water, and we never see him lower it. The shot cuts to an angle through the slats in the closet. He repeats the action.

Other mistake: About 18 minutes in, the new girl from Atlanta is hearing who Stokely is from Delilah. Right as the angle is about to change, looking at Stokely, there is a weird out-of-place zoom.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning, at the start of the big car chase down the hill, there is a guy blocking another guy's vehicle. The blocking car is red and backs up before turning onto another road. The reflection of the entire camera crew is visible in the side of the red car.

Visible crew/equipment: About half an hour into the film, following the scene where the two people are rescued, there is a shot of a guy stopping on a motorcycle. He tells a man, "Johnny, the boy has done it again." Right as the camera is tracking across his bike, the head of the camera operator casts a shadow on it. (00:30:50)

Visible crew/equipment: Right before the big explosion goes off at Cyberdyne, Arnie, John, and Sarah get in an elevator. The camera comes close to the doors as they close, causing it to be reflected in the metal.

Other mistake: Near the end, after they enter Cyberdyne, the other guard notices the main guard gone. He goes to the bathroom to find him. "Gibbons, you can't leave the desk like that." The interior door is slightly closing when he opens the main door. How is this possible?

Revealing mistake: Right before Sarah fires the second shot at Dyson at his home office, you can see a puff of smoke come from where she is at. The problem is, she doesn't shoot until a second or two after that and no sound is heard. What is the puff of smoke?

Revealing mistake: When Topper is showing off on his bike near the beginning, there is a scene where he gets down from standing up on his bike. It's very obviously a stunt double. The man looks thinner than Charlie Sheen and his hair is different.

Trivia: The Navy only authorized two actual missiles to be fired for the film. Thus a couple of the missile shots are obviously repeated, and they're easy to spot. The rest of the missile shots were done with miniatures. The company responsible for the miniatures did such a good job that an investigation was done by the Navy to see if more than two missiles had been fired.

Continuity mistake: Maverick is talking to Charlie in the scene where she gives him her address. In the angle from behind him, his right hand is up holding a pencil next to his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is down. No pencil.

Mijo - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the desert when Tuco and Nacho are interrogating Saul, the sun and sky change half a dozen times. When he is being cut free, the sun is to his left. The next shot it's overhead. The continuity gradually improves as the scene goes on.

Continuity mistake: When Wayne and O'Hara leave on the carriage with the horn, the door to the house is open. Cut to the wider shot and the door is closed.

manthabeat ★

Other mistake: Maureen O'Hara's brother punches John Wayne. You can tell how far away from him Wayne is, and the sound of the punch is a touch off. He's punching air.

Trivia: As was custom with a lot of films at the time, this movie makes some extensive use of rear-projection. Several scenes were shot in a studio but used filmed or still backgrounds to make it appear like they were shot on location. A lot of the scenes that take place while characters are on a horse-drawn carriage use the technique, except the shots behind the characters are moving. The biggest use of rear projection is during the horse race on the beach.

Visible crew/equipment: Maureen O'Hara takes off her stockings and runs across the water toward the camera. As she gets closer, it's clear there is a light behind the camera as the camera casts a big shadow on her.

manthabeat ★

Revealing mistake: During the courting scene as they're riding through the countryside, the man controlling the horse has a pipe in his mouth. It casts a shadow on the rear-projected background, making it very obvious. So does Maureen O'Hara's hat. John Wayne's shoulder does as well.

Trivia: The scene where Will Smith climbs aboard the crashed craft ("Welcome to Earth") was accomplished by using forced perspective, an in-camera technique that is as old as cinema. The ship is much closer to the camera than Will is, but it gives the illusion he is climbing aboard this massive craft. The technique is also used elsewhere in the film but this is one of the best examples.

Audio problem: When Lewis is checking into the first hotel and finds out the rooms have been cancelled, he asks the front desk clerk Sunny if there is anything she can do. She leans back a bit and you can hear her say, "I don't," but her mouth doesn't move. She then says she will ask her manager. This is a weird error, likely caused by audio overlaid from another angle where the line was different.

Continuity mistake: When Louis is carrying all of the luggage into the first hotel, he bumps into people who bump the guy on the ladder, Stewart. This causes a coconut to fall on the guy's head. You can see Stewart start to come down the ladder. Cut to a different angle; Stewart is back at the top of the ladder and climbs back down again.
