Six Days, Seven Nights (1998) - 26 mistakes

Continuity: When Harrison Ford and Anne Heche come out of the cave they fell into, Anne has a scorpion on her head. If you look closely you will see that it is just a toy and much smaller than the real one we see in the next shot.

Continuity: When Robin crashes the plane at the end of the film, it appears that she crashes it about 1/4 mile off shore. But when everyone runs out to the wrecked plane, it's just a few feet from the shoreline.

Plot hole: After running from the pirates, the two castaways almost stumble off a cliff. Unless they were running backwards, I'm sure they would have seen the cliff coming for a while, because when the camera zooms out you can see clear terrain for at least 20 metres until the edge of the cliff.

Factual error: When the aircraft crashes on the island, the front of the aircraft strikes the ground which would have bent the propeller. They would have never been able to fly it again with that prop.

Continuity: When Robin is changing her clothes, after the scene in the water where "something swam up her shorts", she is actually changing out of the clothes she was wearing when the plane crashed, not the clothes she was wearing in the water.

Continuity: The water and mud stains on Quinn's shirt change quite a bit between shots in the lagoon scene where Quinn is trying to get the snake out of Robin's shorts.

Other: Watch Harrison Ford's hair throughout the film. When they are making the rafts out of the plane, you can see that he has had his hair cut. I never knew that they had a barber's on that island.

Continuity: When Robin stumbles upon a wild pig, she is pretty close to wading in to the water in the lagoon.  Yet in the next shot, she stumbles down a little hill for quite a way before she gets to the water.

Continuity: Robin is walking through the offices of Dazzle magazine and stops at a photo shoot where a female model is standing at a desk with a male model. The immediate next shot, the female model is sitting on the other side of the desk.

Continuity: When Robin and Quinn are standing on the cliff she is afraid to jump, he kisses her and in the shot facing him he has his hands on her face while he is kissing her, but in the reverse shot his hands are not on her face. He didn't have time to move them between shots.

Factual error: Ford and Heche are supposedly on an island in the middle of nowhere, but in some shots you can see the tall buildings of a city off in the distance.

Factual error: As Robin and her fiancee are heading off to Macatea, there is a quick shot of an Aloha Airlines plane as it is landing. Aloha Airlines does not operate there or anywhere near there, but the movie was filmed in Hawaii so they apparently used what they had.

Continuity: When Anne Heche is standing in the water and Harrison Ford is trying to dig the "creature" out of her shorts, the mud on Anne's face keeps changing. In some shots it is gone, in some there is a little and in some there is quite a bit.

Continuity: While they are approaching, and then running from, the pirate ship, in one shot the horizon is completely empty. Then, in the next shot, the ship is back. This happens more than once.

Continuity: When Frank is seated at the nightclub where Angelica performs, watch the light and flowers on the table. When he is seated the light is sitting in the center of a bunch of flowers. Next shot, the flowers are almost gone and the light has moved a good foot or so.

Continuity: When Harrison Ford and Anne Heche climb up the hill to turn off the beacon, you can see that Harrison's shirt has a few buttons unbuttoned from the top. We can see one button but the other is covered. When Anne asks "Who stole the peninsula?" we can see both buttons.

Continuity: When Angelica is doing her sexy dance for the tourists, her anklet changes legs between the close up shots of her feet and the far away shots of her.

Deliberate "mistake": The drug smuggler's boat is moving ahead quickly when they are shooting at the repaired plane. But when the shell returns to earth, the boat is stationary.

Continuity: When Quinn and Robin first escape the pirates just after they row back to the island, they run up a hill for quite a bit. In a later shot they are running along the coast, but immediately following that, they are at the higher elevation again as the pirates catch up to them.

Continuity: When Quinn has just prepared the peacock and Robin is ready to take her first bite, she blows on it and they cut to her eating it. In between those two cuts, the way the leg is facing changes directions.
