Plot hole: When Bill and Clark are discussing the bonus delivery situation, it is December 21st, and Bill says his son received a delivery at his home via company courier. The bonus checks were to arrive to the employees before Christmas Eve, which would have given them plenty of time to contact each other that none of them got the bonus checks but did get enrollment in the Jelly of the Month Club.

Continuity mistake: The RV of Eddie is parked near the end of Clark's driveway by the large tree in the yard when Clark illuminates his house. When the family disperses and heads into the house, the overhead shot now shows the RV is parked up against the Griswold's garage door, far away from the edge of the driveway.

General questions

I'm trying to find the title of a western movie where the sheriff of the town has a rebellious son who is now part of a youth gang causing problems and comes to cause problems in the sheriff's town. One of the gang members wears a Confederate uniform and waves around a sword. When a gang of bad guys comes to the town to kill the sheriff, the kid gang helps the sheriff fight them off. I remember the Confederate kid gets killed with a bullet to his throat. Anybody know the name of the movie?

Scott215

Answer: No, the movie I saw did not have John Wayne in it. I do remember another scene where the sheriff is hiding in the bed of a buckboard wagon and the bad guy slowly peeks his head over the edge of the wagon. When he does that, the sheriff fires his pistol into the bad guy's face and blood from the bad guy's face splatters everywhere.

Scott215

Answer: I don't know about the Confederate uniform, but what you described is a lot like a John Wayne movie, Cahill, US Marshal. Two of his rebellious sons help a gang with a bank heist.

Trivia: When Larry escapes into the elevator after being chased by the exhibits when they came to life, check out the poster on the wall of the elevator to Larry's left: a poster of sea life invertebrates with the title, "Spineless," which reflects Larry's fright, lack of bravery, and fear of what just happened to him.

Continuity mistake: After Sgt. Duquesne and Lt. Weaver escape from the first German attack on the Americans to make their way to the motor pool to get a jeep, Sgt. Duquesne is holding his M3 Grease Gun with both hands, but the next shot shows him swinging it up from his right side with his right hand and catching the weapon with his left hand, thus cradling it again.

Scott215

Revealing mistake: During the first battle when the German tanks are attacking the American infantry positions, there are close-up shots of the tanks' bow machine guns firing that are located on the left side of the vehicle, whereas the bow machine gun of an M47 Patton tank has the bow MG located on the right side of the tank. The close-up shots were obviously flipped.

Scott215

Revealing mistake: On top of the tank, several German soldiers are lined up, then all are shot by Indiana Jones with one bullet. The blood squibs can be seen underneath the soldiers' uniforms.

Scott215

Continuity mistake: When the flocks of birds smash into the fighter plane after Henry Jones Senior frightens them into the air, the plane's propeller stops spinning, but the next shot of the plane coming down to crash shows the propeller still spinning.
