The top mistakes in The River Wild http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1073 en Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:55:24 +0000 38911 When Tom escapes he climbs up the steep rocks on the riverside. The height at which he is shown varies dramatically depending on the camera angle, and when he finally falls down into the water (unharmed, after bouncing from rock to rock.) he would actually have landed on the bank which was shown in the shot before. 38905 Gail skinny dips at night, facing the river bank where Maggie is waiting. Then Maggie starts barking, Gail turns around and sees Wade watching her. As Wade was in her field of vision already she wouldn't have to turn back to see him. 38912 If you consider how fast the river is and how high and impassable the rocks on both sides of the river are, it is obvious that it was absolutely impossible for Tom to overtake the raft and arrive at the gauntlet well in time to set up the sophisicated trap with which he finally flips over the raft. 38897 After they have passed the first rapid where Tom fell into the water Gail is rowing and the river is flowing quite fast. In between is a brief cut to Rourke where the boat is not moving and the water is totally still. 38902 When Tom rescues Wade he knocks him out not to get pulled under himself, and Wade visibly turns limp under water. The moment they emerge Wade has regained full consciousness and is able to pull himself into the raft.
