The top mistakes in American Graffiti http://www.moviemistakes.com/film49 en Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:55:01 +0000 13094 In one scene a parked car is sitting along the street - it is a '67 Chevy. Yet the film is set in 1962. 274 In the first part of the film, when John Milner is cruising he pulls up next to a car and chat to Zuto. When he sits back in the driver's seat after the conversation, you can see Mackenzie Phillips sitting in the passenger seat facing Milner for a split second before cutting to the next scene. She shouldn't have been there. 19450 During the film the black 55 Chevy driven by Harrison Ford has nice wide chrome wheels, however after the crash scene at the end of the film when the 55 Chevy is upside down, you can clearly see the wheels are now simply standard steel rims spray painted silver. 61641 When Falfa's Chevy flips over, we can see that it has no fuel tank at all in it. However, in the next shot the fuel tank re-appears and explodes. 11949 After Carole is hit with the water balloon thrown from a passing car, she tells John Milner to catch them at the light, where he's to flatten their tyres while she sprays the windshield with shaving cream. Carole sprays the front windshield, then starts to go to the back of the car to spray the back window. The front windshield is clean, even though Carole just emptied a can of shaving cream onto it.
