Nosferatu (1922)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: F.W. Murnau
Starring: Georg H. Schnell, Greta Schroder, Gustav von Wangenheim, Max Schreck, Ruth Landshoff
Revealing mistake: When Count Orlok has loaded the crates onto the cart, he climbs into the last one and the lid "levitates" into place. This trick is achieved by stop-motion animation, but the cart horses do not hold their position and shatter the illusion - their heads unnaturally jerk about while the lid is in motion.
Graf Orlok: You have hurt yourself... your precious blood.
Trivia: After Bram Stoker's widow Florence successfully sued the film's producers for plagiarism, the court ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. About five prints survived, however. All of today's versions of "Nosferatu" have been reproduced from those prints.
