Corrected entry: Gulliver wades out to sea to fight an enemy armada. Cannonballs are shot from several of the ships and they wedge in Gulliver's chest and stomach. He heaves his chest forward and the cannonballs are hurled back toward the ships. There are no marks on Gulliver's skin. Two scenes later his chest and stomach are covered with what appear to be powder burn marks.
Gulliver's Travels (2010)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Rob Letterman
Starring: Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Amanda Peet, Jason Segel
Revealing mistake: On Gulliver's MacBook when he is plagiarizing , he has the wrong program active at the top (Finder for Macists), when he is typing on the keyboard. He also doesn't have a single word-processing application open, which can be viewed at the bottom.
Lemuel Gulliver: Remember, there's no small jobs, just small people. Teeny, tiny, teeny little people.
Trivia: In the film, Amanda Peet plays Darcy Silverman. Peet also starred in the movie "Saving Silverman" as Judith who was engaged to the character Darren Silverman. Jack Black (Gulliver) also starred in "Saving Silverman"
Question: Gulliver's attempt at avoiding a fight with the Blefuscian at sea fails. He'd been surrounded and shot at. He grabs at the ropes coming from each ship's bow and drags them away. Now, why were there ropes coming from each of the ships, and how did they end up in front of him so that he could grab onto them?
Answer: Obviously, it's just a deliberate error in a fantasy film that is full of plot-holes and errors. They certainly aren't anchor lines, as the ships are actively involved in a military engagement (surrounding Gulliver). Also, no navy flotilla of sailing ships would have lines hanging loose at the bow or stern, particularly going into a military engagement. Rather, the lines would be coiled and neatly stowed on deck. In this case, the deliberate error permits Gulliver to tow away the Blefuscudian ships in just a matter of moments (even though Blefuscu is over a half-mile away by water).
Correction: Those aren't burn powder marks. Those are hickeys and it is consistent with how hickeys behave. They appear after a while after the spot has experience some strain.
