Factual error: Young David focuses his telescope at the moon. A close up shot then shows a circular view i.e. it is supposed to be the view through the telescope. Both the moon and the clouds in focus. With a telescope the depth of field is short and, with the moon in focus, the clouds would actually be blurred.
Cocoon (1985)
1 factual error
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Brian Dennehy, Steve Guttenberg, Hume Cronyn, Wilford Brimley, Don Ameche
Continuity mistake: Tawnee Welch massages Steve Guttenberg's right leg just after he bangs it. However, when they are talking his left leg mysteriously becomes the injured one.
Art Selwyn: Men should be explorers, no matter how old they are. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm going.
Trivia: Some of the cloud effects were created by dumping colored dyes in tanks of water which were then superimposed into the shot.
