The top mistakes in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead http://www.moviemistakes.com/film4334 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:32 +0000 128281 During the pirate attack, Rosencrantz sits up in bed, narrowly avoiding a sword that's thrust through the wall next to him. Just before the sword appears, the film jumps a little. It also jumps again just after the sword has been withdrawn and he lies back down. Clearly these two motions (him sitting up and down in bed and the sword appearing/disappearing) are two separate takes that were spliced together.
