The top mistakes in Breaking the Waves http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1516 en Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:56:09 +0000 11187 In the infamous Highland bus scene, the driver can be seen issuing tickets from a computerised ticketing machine - astonishing really - the film is set in the early 70s. 59870 In the accident scene on the oil rig, the oil fountain stops completely in the shot where Jan lifts up his friend. 59872 When the paralyzed Jan tries to commit suicide he holds the pill jar between his left arm and the back of his right hand. When it cuts to a close-up he pushes his right knuckles against the jar. 59873 When Bess goes to the ship the first time one of the men cuts across the back of her blouse, starting from the right shoulder. In all later shots the cut starts at the left shoulder. 59874 In the scene where Bess' body is thrown into the sea there's a shot of Jan's head injury. The area around the well healed scars is freshly shaven and shiny. Such a long time after the last surgery there would be at least some stubble.
