Continuity: When Fred Randall keeps expelling gas, the glass on his helment keeps reappearing and disappearing.
Movie news
Great sites
Deliberate "mistake": The shuttle in this movie is named "Aries". When it lifts off you can see "Endeavour" on the nose.
Continuity: When Randall is in the chair going 7-Gs, he flies off into the wall. He then hits the guy in the wheelchair, making him flip a couple of times. When the guy hits the wall, look at his position, it looks as if he would land headfirst, but in the next shot he lands right side up.
Factual error: Why do the astronauts on Mars and the crew on Earth have the conversations as they do on the phone? A message sent from Earth would take about 20 minutes to arrive at Mars and vice-versa.
Deliberate "mistake": At the end of the movie Rocketman shows his lady friend a space blanket, out of which he states he made something: ballroom dancing outfits. The difference in the material is just too obvious for this not to be a deliberate mistake. The outfits aren't the slightest bit related to the foil they were supposed to be made of.
Continuity: In the press conference scene, before they announce the new astronaut, there are a couple of shots of Fred and Gordo sitting next to each other. In those shots they each have a microphone right in front of them. However, just as they are about to make the announcement, Gordo's microphone has moved, and he has to slide it over to be in front of him.
Factual error: In the last scene when Fred Randall dances with his love interest, how come her gown still looks stiff at zero gravity?
Revealing: When Fred Randall is in the motion sickness machine (the one that spins around horizontally), you can see the three people in the observation centre above at one point. Look at them closely, because they are fake.
