Revealing mistake: You can see the rigging that is used to lift the bus off the ground to allow it to do the side skid. (01:07:56)
Bubble Boy (2001)
Directed by: Blair Hayes
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Danny Trejo, Marley Shelton, Swoosie Kurtz, Verne Troyer
Visible crew/equipment: When Jimmy is first in his movie bubble, he turns the corner in his room and sees the stairs. As he turns the corner a crewmember's head is visible for a moment then he crouches.
Continuity mistake: When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he reaches for his guitar and Chloe is seen from behind, at right, pulling her hair over and onto her right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder without any hair resting on or near it. When the shot reverses to show her from the front, her hair hangs freely down onto both shoulders again. (00:08:55)
Trivia: During the audio commentary, Jake Gyllenhaal actually spots some continuity mistakes, and points them out. The director then proceeds by telling him he's not doing the film any justice.
Trivia: The church where they filmed the wedding scene for Mark and Chloe was the same church used in 'The Graduate'.
Slim: What are you, some kind of Astronaut?
Jimmy: No, I'm some kind of bubble boy.
Jimmy: Supper time was the best! Nothing could beat Mom's homemade, vitamin-rich, soy-based, germ-free, fat-free fiber cookies.
Jimmy: I'd rather spend one minute holding you than the rest of my life knowing that I never could.
Question: The soundtrack for this film is only of the score. Can anyone tell me the names and artists for some of the other songs?
