Corrected entry: the scene where Kelly leaves the dance studio to meet Ozone and Turbo she puts on a heavy coat. The story line is in California. Where it's pretty warm. Nobody else has anything thicker than a sweater. Plus they are on a beach.
Corrected entry: When Miss Desiree is dancing at the party, Rudy takes a deep drink from a bottle of liquor. Most of us would appreciate this performance with a liquor. We even see bubbles come up, but as he takes the bottle away from his mouth, he is still holding it upside down. Doing this normally, the content would be spilled on his face, so he probably didn't drink at all.
Correction: There is a liquor bottle nozzle on the Jack Daniels.
Corrected entry: During the explosion at the end, in a high aerial shot you can hear a member of the crew whisper "shit!" behind the camera. (01:22:35)
Correction: Actually, it's Burt who says that, not a crew member.
Corrected entry: When Jack goes down the waterfall he lets go of the bag with the stone. Then, when he gets out of the rather wild water he is holding on to the bag again. (01:19:40)
Correction: There was more than enough time for the bag to be floating nearby and for him to grab it in between shots.
Corrected entry: Near the end, JJ, Victor and Fenderbaum are dressed as girls and are in Don Don's office signing contracts. When Don Don says, "What do they do? Scare the audience to death?" his two bodyguards laugh. That scene was used earlier in the film, but the earlier scene had a blue painting that is not in this scene.
Correction: The two scenes take place in different offices.
Corrected entry: When Poindexter is dancing to Beat It, an Omega Mu is seen coming down the stairs behind Poindexter. The next shot she is gone. (00:43:05)
Correction: First of all, Poindexter is dancing to "Thriller", not "Beat It". Second, there's plenty of time between the shots for the girl to have moved out of frame.
I apologize I did mean "Thriller but there wouldn't have been enough time tor the girl to disappear because when he is first seen dancing, she is just seen coming down the stairs. When it does a closeup on his legs. She immediately vanishes. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKoOTRDv9IY&app=desktop.
Corrected entry: When Bastian enters his school, it can be easily identified as a modern concrete building. But the attic where he reads the book is (or rather, should be) that of an older building (1950's or even older) - no modern edifice of that size would use old wooden rafters, walls and roofing.
Correction: This is purely an opinion. There is no evidence provided to corroborate it.
Corrected entry: Vermin tells his sidekick that he plans to kill Tommy Kelly at the exact moment that Cagney is killed in the movie. But there's no way for him to have known anything about what happened in the movie, because no one had even seen it yet. Even though the specific movie is never named, the radio announcement Vermin had listened to the previous day clearly states that DA Kelly and the governer would be attending the premiere of Cagney's new movie.
Correction: First, there's no evidence the movie was never seen by anyone. It was merely premiere night. Vermin was already disguised as a theater worker before telling the sidekick his plan, so it's plausible he did at least see part of it to plan his attack.
Corrected entry: Abbey's husband gives her a gun, but she only has three bullets. She puts them in the cylinder of her revolver one after the other. Later, when the PI steals the gun, he checks the bullets and sets the cylinder so that the first round is under the hammer. When he shoots Marty, the second round is fired because the pistol is double action; when you pull the trigger the cylinder is rotated. The PI then prepares to shoot Marty the second time, pulling the trigger, which rotates the cylinder and cocks the hammer, but doesn't feel the need to fire. Later that round is fired accidentally, and the trigger is pulled twice more rotating the cylinder twice more, with the hammer falling on empty cylinders. This should leave the next trigger pull on an empty cylinder, then the next should fire. It doesn't happen that way, and I think there is a trigger pull missing in the film.
Correction: The first round is skipped when the PI shoots Marty because of the double action of the revolver, the second round is an accidental discharge because the PI pulled the hammer back enough to rotate the cylinder but leave the hammer back, the third round Marty tries to shoot Ray but lands on an empty cylinder, as well as the fourth, and fifth round. Now we are all the way back to the sixth round which is the round that kills the PI. All rounds and trigger pulls are counted for.
Corrected entry: After Scrooge's "change of heart", he runs into Mr. Poole and Mr. Harking on the street, and tells them that he would like to make a donation. Then he whispers into Poole's ear. Poole looks astonished, and quickly bends over to whisper the amount into Harking's ear....but Harking's facial expression changes to surprise even before Poole begins talking.
Correction: He has just twigged as to what is going on - the world's tightest skinflint is making a charitable donation. He is expressing surprise at the event - the details which come later don't make much difference.
Corrected entry: Same game....they show John Olson, the catcher, batting left-handed when he bats right-handed the rest of the movie - and he isn't a switch-hitter.
Correction: Nowhere does it mention whether or not the catcher is a switch hitter. The scene is not reversed because the lettering is all correctly visible. Just because he batted right handed the rest of the movie doesn't mean he can't bat left handed against a right handed pitcher.
Corrected entry: As Max is climbing from the tree onto a wall surrounding the garden, the wall moves when Max puts his leg on it.
Correction: This statement is in some way incorrect. The shaking wall is a symbol (like the whole movie, which is very symbolic) - it aims to show the collapse of Berlin wall. Then there is nothing incorrect in this scene - it was planned. The movie makers were actually lucky to predict the collapse of the wall many years before it really happened.
Corrected entry: While playing the game, Alex repeatedly shoots down the same group of Kodan fighters - the same in-game shots are repeated. The easiest to spot are two fighters that come from the left side and are destroyed simultaneously.
Correction: In a video game, there is nothing wrong with using the same action scenes (especially in one of that vintage). Also, since the action scenes are being reused in game, there is nothing to say Alex couldn't be shooting the fighters in the same manner. Good gamers get in a rhythm.
Corrected entry: When Rockoff takes a picture of Pran for his fake passport the view through the eyepiece shows a tiled wall that isn't there. (01:08:05)
Correction: What appears to be tile is actually a grid pattern in the viewfinder of the Rolleiflex camera. If you look closely, you can see that the grid covers Pran's face and shirt, not just the wall.
Corrected entry: When the two agents are talking in the emergency autopsy room, Agent Fox tells the officer that all the Cobra attack helicopters are to carry live ammo. However, in the scene at the end when the helicopters are shooting at the heroes in the crater, the helicopters are UH1 Huey gunships, not AH1 Cobras.
Correction: He may have wanted Cobras, but UHs were what was available at that time, in that area. As long as they were armed, I doubt the agent was upset with the substitution. Not a movie mistake, just a military deployments result.
Corrected entry: During the scene in the cafe when Nick convinces everyone he is not Mel Torme, everyone is dancing along with him. It's obvious during one of the shots the men dancing on tables are swinging 'dummies' instead of real women. (01:07:20)
Correction: This is a deliberate part of the film, to make it look ridiculous.
Corrected entry: There are two actresses portraying Deborah at different ages. But they have different colour eyes. Jennifer Connelly has brown eyes and Elizabeth McGovern has blue eyes.
Correction: Jennifer Connelly does not have brown eyes; they are blue as well, only not as clear as Elizabeth McGovern's.
Corrected entry: In a scene near the front of the movie, the two main sailors are riding in a truck across the harbor to the ship. In the background is a white ship, the S.S. Savanha, a nuclear cargo ship launched in i believe 1959, or 1960. The scene is supposed to be set in the early 1940s.
Correction: More than one ship bore the name, U.S.S. Savannah. The ship shown is the U.S.S. Savannah (CL-42), a 9475-ton Brooklyn class light cruiser, commissioned in March 1938. She was formally decommissioned in February 1947.
Corrected entry: All Jones has is a microphone, which is hooked up to something, (we never see what, though), and he is able to control the police station and Police Academy's PA systems. So what is he carrying around which makes him able to do this? (And where can I get one)?
Correction: When we first meet Jones, we see that his microphone is hooked up to a portable bullhorn, of the type police use for crowd control. Jones does not control the PA systems, people just think that's where the sound is coming from.
Corrected entry: When the Freemen put out several Thumpers before the big fight, take a look at them. Some are thumping down, others are backwards and thumping up. (01:57:05)
Correction: Not really a mistake. It is mentioned that the thumpers are handmade by the Fremen. Different craftsmen use different styles.
Correction: California does get cool and even cold. The part where the story takes place is Los Angeles, which does get down to the 40s Fahrenheit in winter - maybe not quite cold enough for a heavy coat, but that's a character mistake, not a factual error. And what does being on a beach have to do with it? It's still cold on beaches. (And in California, the beaches are actually cooler than inland, since the currents are cool rather than warm.).
