28 Days Later

Revealing mistake: In the church, none of the infected that Jim sees are wearing anything on their heads. They then chase him and are set alight by Jim's rescuers. When we see the infected running and burning, the fireproof hoods the actors are wearing are visible. (00:16:20)

Revealing mistake: After Mr. Bridges and his daughter are killed, Selena asks Jim if he was bitten. When he says "no", Mr. Bridges can be seen moving slightly, who is lying on the floor in front of Jim. (00:28:30)

DarkNITE

Revealing mistake: After the soldiers execute their spiritual comrade, Jim takes cover in the field of dead bodies nearby as the executioners run off to search for him. The body right in front of Jim is breathing, as his chest is moving up and down. (01:22:45)

Revealing mistake: When the camera pans up to show Manchester on fire, flashing lights are just visible on the horizon in the middle of the road. This is the police keeping the traffic back so the scene could be filmed.

Revealing mistake: When Jim is walking across the Westminster bridge and shouts "Hello?" for the first time, in the next shot you can see a blob on the bridge (right of picture). This is all that's left of a car going across the bridge, that wasn't painted out completely.

Visible crew/equipment: Watch the scene where Frank gets killed. In the last shot of this scene, we see a soldier standing over the dead body. Keep an eye on the right side of the screen as the camera slowly moves away and you should see one of the cameras and a cameraman on the ground next to a large metal object.

Trivia: The dramatic pause, as the taxi hits the gate near the end of the film, is done so because this was the original ending. Test audiences didn't like the ambiguity of the ending and wanted something more succinct, and so we got an ending-like sequence followed by the actual ending.

Question: Aren't distances in Europe designated in kilometers? Col. Henry West says he and his men are located 27 miles NW of Manchester. I figured he'd use the equivalent distance in kilometers,43 km. Is this common in Europe to use either measurement?

Answer: The metric system is used in mainland Europe, but very rarely in Britain. Road signs are still measured in miles in Britain, and distances usually are too.
