The top mistakes in Elephant http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5380 en Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:58:36 +0000 153130 When Michelle goes to library and places the books on a bookshelf, the top three shelves are full of books and the bottom shelf is empty. But after this scene, all the shelves are full of books, including the bottom one. 134853 When Alex walks forward in the cafeteria with his notepad, he stops by the cafeteria tills. In one shot, you see a student going up to pay for their lunch. But it then cuts, and the student has vanished. 134856 When Nate looks out into the hallway during the discussion, he is shot. He falls to the floor on his back - the bullet was shown to exit his back - but his chest is completely unharmed and his shirt is free from any bullet hole. 123835 Aside from the fact that you can't have a semi-automatic rifle delivered to your doorstep (except to an authorized dealer), there's also the fact that the weapon apparently was shipped with a full magazine. This is ridiculous. All the boy did was take the mag from the box to the gun and it started firing right away. One can assume they already had the ammo and filled the mag inside the house. This is countered by the fact that when he takes the mag out of the box, it is empty. Freeze-frame confirms there is not a single cartridge in the magazine before it is inserted into the weapon. 134855 Early in the movie, just before John is seen leaving the school and passing the gun-toting students for the first time, John is shown briefly coaxing a dog into a little high-jumping trick. Much later, when the same scene is viewed from the gun-toters perspective, the dog doesn't do the trick.
