Silent Movie (1976)

Trivia: This film is in the Guiness Book Of World Records as having the fewest spoken lines of any sound movie. The famous mime, Marcel Marceau, has the only speaking line in this movie. His one line was only one word: "No".

Six Pack (1982)

Continuity mistake: When Kenny Rogers gets trapped in the rest room at the beginning of the film, he pulls the knob out from the door. When this happens, the knob is on the left side of the door from his point of view. After he climbs out the window, the door has changed to having the hinges on that side and the style of the door does not look like it has a knob at all. A rest room this size would only have one door, so it has to be the same door.

Swing Vote (2008)

Continuity mistake: During the final debate scene when they show the two candidates on stage with the monitors behind them, the background on the screens does not match the background behind them at the camera angle used. You can see the rows of stars, but not the rest of the background which would be in line with their heads. (01:49:10)

Doctor Who (2005)

Dalek - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When they show the soldiers killed by the Dalek, in both the hallway outside the cage and the large room in weapons testing, they show some casings which were ejected from the soldiers' guns. The casings still have projectiles in them. If used, they would have been in magazines and would never fall out like they are shown.

General questions

Does anyone know if Tom Clancy's book "Rainbow Six" has been, or is planned to be, made into a movie?

Chosen answer: According to IMDB.com it's greenlighted for a 2010 release. Whether or not it will make it or be shelved is anyone's guess.

My Fishbowl - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: In episode 6-12 "My Fishbowl," the janitor waits outside a door holding a fishbowl. The door opens into the room as seen several times. You can even see that the hinges are set up to open in. When the janitor sets the fish bowl down you can see that the door has changed and opens out into the hall.

Death Hunt (1981)

Revealing mistake: When the mounties are attacking Johnson's cabin, one of the men with them crawls into a bear trap. You can plainly see that the jaws of the trap are made of rubber or some other soft material when he struggles.

Factual error: In the flashback scene when El Mariachi and Carolina are getting married, the chain is cut with a process called MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. This is a welding, NOT, a cutting process. While it can be done, the heat generated would have burned both wrists. (00:34:50)

General questions

I am looking for the name of a science fiction movie from the 60's or early 70's about a group of people on a small island being attacked by large mutant crabs. Possibly ending with survivors trapped on an antennea.

papajim

Chosen answer: It could the "Attack of the Crab Monsters" in 1957. Several people are trapped on a small island where mutant crabs are attacking everyone. The island is also sinking. That may be the reason for being trapped on the antenna.
