Corrected entry: About the middle of the film, there is a shot of Beverly and Elliot walking towards the camera as it scrolls away from them. It is a great effect, seeing as Jeremy Irons plays both characters, and it was made in the late eighties; but it is not perfect. Watch as Elliot walks away, his suit fades away before he leaves the frame.
Dead Ringers (1988)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Starring: Jeremy Irons, Genevieve Bujold, Barbara Gordon, Heidi von Palleske
Continuity mistake: At the cafeteria, Beverly says he’s tired and eats a candy bar. An instant cut later from the shot behind, his arm is lowered.
Elliot Mantle: You could adopt.
Claire Niveau: It wouldn't have been part of my body.
Elliot Mantle: I know what you mean.
Trivia: Jeremy Irons kept track of his characters by playing one with his weight on the balls of his feet, and the other with his weight on his heels.
Correction: I have looked carefully at this scene and can spot no sign of the fading you describe.
