Real Genius (1985)
1 question
Directed by: Martha Coolidge
Starring: Val Kilmer, William Atherton, Michelle Meyrink, Gabriel Jarret
Continuity mistake: When Jordan brings in the automatic page turner she demonstrates it to Mitch. When it reaches over to turn the page the screen jumps and then the scene continues. This was two takes of the same shot spliced together poorly at the point that the page turner touches to the page on the right. (00:27:50)
Old Lady: Tell me, what's Einstein really like?
Professor Hathaway: Dead.
Trivia: When Mitch first arrives on campus, he's talking with a professor. After the conversation, Mitch takes a step back and bumps into another student. This student is played by Tom Hanks.
Suggested correction: It is not Tom Hanks, just a guy who looks similar to him.
Answer: I found an internet reference that Hanks appears as an uncredited extra in the crowd scene. However, there's no verification, with some claiming he was in it, and others say he was not. I've seen the clip, and it looks like him, but not sure it is.
