Mistakes

Trivia

The attempt to make the locations look wild and uninhabited were obviously not altogether successful. Near the beginning of the movie, some boys are sitting in a sandy clearing in public-school blazers. On the right of the screen you can clearly see a tent peg with ANTONY M written on it. Also, as one of Jack's choirboy-hunters thrashes through the undergrowth, look closely and you can see that he accidentally impales an old beer can. See more...

This is also in the original Golding novel - Piggy is nearsighted, which is corrected with negative (diverging) lenses. A positive (converging) lens is necessary to focus sunlight. However, the boys use his glasses to make fire, but they would not work. [Of course they would - if held backwards.]

When the other boys drop the rock on Piggy if you watch in slow motion you can see that the rock collapses and springs back [The rules of the site are clear. If you have to use slow motion to see it, it's not a mistake.]

When Simon is floating in the water after being murdered, you can (barely) see him swim away. Pretty impressive, considering that he is dead! [He's not swimming, it's the water hitting him and moving his arms.]
