The top mistakes in The Time Machine (1960) http://www.moviemistakes.com/film2038 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:56:30 +0000 27616 The Morlocks aren't affected by the light from metal in fusion in their foundry but they recoil from the light of a match. 154882 During the big underground fight scene, the solid rock wall moves as George pounds a Morlock's head against it. 76446 As George comes to the year 1917, the camera shows that the buildings in the horizon are nothing but poor painting, especially on the wall around the archway. The two buildings right beyond it have distinct differences above and below the top of the archway. 32079 During the campfire scene a Morlock attacks Weena, and drags her off. If you look at the top of the frame, as the Morlock drags her away, the stunt man's head can be seen, as he forgot to wear the head part of the costume. 68012 In 1966 when George is about to return to his machine and the atomic bombs (or whatever) go off, George just barely gets out of there before the lava from a nearby volcano cooks him alive. Two plot holes here. One is that in the short time it takes George to walk a few meters to his machine, a volcano explodes and the lava reaches him. Thats very speedy lava..especially considering there were no mountains near George's house. Secondly when the lava approaches, it is just flowing along the ground like normal. But when it reaches George, it splashes around him like a broken water tank. That lava can certainly defy gravity.
