Journey to the Center of the Earth mistake picture

Factual error: The Sun was shining quite brightly on the shores of the underground ocean (near the center of the Earth) as can be seen by the shadows of the actors. (01:39:20)

Factual error: There is an explosion in the laboratory supposedly because the professor's assistant added too much aqua regia. Aqua regia will do a lot of things, but in an open furnace it will not explode.

Factual error: Iceland has had no titles of nobility for nearly 1000 years, therefore Saknussem can't be a "count".

Mistakes

Journey to the Center of the Earth mistake picture

Revealing mistake: A boulder tumbles towards James Mason and his party though a cave. With all the smashing against the walls and floor of the cave, the boulder stays entirely intact. However, just before the boulder hits a wall with two tunnels while flying through the air, the boulder now shows two majors fractures that were unseen earlier. The fractures were added to the boulder to give it a more dramatic impact by it breaking up with one piece nearly striking James Mason. (00:55:50)

Questions

Question: When the gang explore the ruins of the city, you can hear a low pitch humming noise. What was making that noise?

Answer: It's just an added sound effect that foreshadows an ominous event (the giant reptile) that is about to happen. It's not meant to be anything naturally occurring.
