History of the World: Part I (1981) - 3 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry The shot with the nuns rising from the water in the Spanish Inquisition segment is obviously a reverse shot of the girls lowering into the water, but not much care seemed to go into disguising that fact: the sparks fly back to the sparklers on their heads, and so does the smoke that comes from them. [This is a deliberate directorial decision. The scene is a parody of the water ballet scenes done in the golden age of Hollywood, where such primitive special effects techniques were often used. This does not qualify as a mistake.]
Entry In the first scene when they show the Vestal Virgins lying around, the girl on the right of the first pair can be seen quickly glancing at the camera. [She could have been looking at a fellow virgin just off camera. There is no proof that she is looking at the camera.]
Entry A running joke in the Roman Empire segment is the use of "V" in the place of "U" on all signs. However, on the "Annual Orgy" banner, there are two "U"s instead of "V"s. [Probably done deliberately as an inside joke.]
