Deliberate mistake: In the end scene at the TV set, Scrooge tosses a coin out the window, and the camera follows the coin as it falls in slow motion. The people in the control room also watch this on their monitors. Problem is, this is a live broadcast and filming/watching something live in slow motion is impossible.
Scrooged (1988)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Bill Murray, John Glover, Karen Allen, John Forsythe
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film before Frank starts singing, watch the guy to his left (screen right) in the plaid shirt. He goes from being next to him to behind him and jumps around a few times in the scene.
Earl Cross: All day long, I listen to people give me excuses why they can't work... 'My back hurts, ' 'my legs ache, ' 'I'm only four!' The sooner he learns life isn't handed to him on a silver platter, the better.
Trivia: Frank's brother James is played by Bill Murray's younger brother John. His father is played by Bill's older brother Brian Doyle-Murray.
Question: When the Ghost of Christmas Future appears in the TV monitors behind Frank, he has a skeletal face. When Frank falls into the elevator and sees the Ghost of Christmas Future, why did his face change to a TV screen?
Answer: The Ghost of Christmas Future on the TV screen is part of the show they are filming, and the one in the elevator is the real one, so it would go without saying that they would be a little different.
