The top mistakes in The Iron Giant http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1966 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:10 +0000 36156 When the Iron Giant follows Hogarth home they cross a railwayline and the Giant starts to eat the steel rail. During this scene you can see the distance of the railway sleepers changing from a fair distance apart to close together over the course of the shots. In the same scene you can also see that, although there is a crossing with lights, no vehicle could possibly pass as the rail has no crossover facility at that level. 26908 In the scene where the Iron Giant is spinning the boy around in a junk car he is holding, notice that the car resembles a 1959 Cadillac...however since the film is set around 1957, this is not a likely car to be found anywhere yet, much less a junk yard. 47055 During the film, we see on Dean's tow truck and and on the sign at the entrance of his scrap yard that his name is McCoppin. But in the end credits, it is written Dean McCoppen. 80785 When the Iron Giant first learns to talk, he picks up a huge boulder that wasn't there earlier. The boulder was in a pretty big hole, but when Hogarth walks away the hole has disappeared. 152572 When the Iron Giant and Howgarth meet for the second time, they both sit down, and you can see that both the Giants hands are flat on the floor, then the Giant produces the electricity shut off switch from one of his hands even though both his hands were previously empty.
