Revealing mistake: The camera occasionally pans sideways through walls as characters travel from room to room. In two instances, a visible edit can be seen between the rooms, revealing that they are not in fact adjacent parts of the set, but rather were spliced together. In the latter of these two, an electrical outlet disappears mid-transition.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Starring: Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston
Continuity mistake: During the shoot out with the pirates on their secret island, Team Zissous' firearms change from Glocks 21's to Beretta 92FSs'. When the members are holding the guns without firing, they are in fact Glocks. Any scene where they are actually shooting, they are holding Berettas.
Alistair Hennessey: Is this my espresso machine? Wh-what is-h-how did you get my espresso machine?
Bill Ubell: Well... uh... we fuckin' stole it, man.
Trivia: Steve's #1 intern is played by Matthew Gray Gubler. Gubler was actually an intern for director Wes Anderson during production, and Anderson liked him so much, he gave him a role in the film.
