- In the scene at the English cottage. She
(Elizabeth Shue) leaves a pin attached to
a note. The pin is sliver and gold with
one leg crossed. When He (Val Kilmer) is
wearing at the collage, both legs are straight.

- When the saint goes to the lead females
house in oxford the outside of the house
is shown as a normal size English house.
When he gets inside the house it has turned
into a semi mansion. It seems to have tripled
in size. Ever been to England guys? Have
you seen the size of our houses? - sexybuchi

In the beginning of this antifascist
masterpiece a soldier spits a woman in the
face. The spit covers her whole eye and
the area below it. It doesn't really look
like spit, it looks a bit like bird dropping.
Anyway, a split second later in the next
shot when the offended woman hits the soldier,
the spit is gone. Her face is completely
spitless. - Webmaster
- When Robbie and Ken are in the car talking
about Margarita's man, Kenny has his arm
up on the seat on one view and down beside
him on another angle. - Vic
- A homeless man sings margarita outside
a liquor store... by the end of the movie
he is gainfully employed singing Puerto
Rico in the club! - Teenee
- Scott Calvin encounters a little girl
missing her front baby teeth. A year later
her teeth haven't grown back. - pat
- The Firefighter tells the kids "nothing
is more painful than 3rd-degree Burns".
I think I've read somewhere that those burns
are often painless because it burns down
to the hypodermis and kills nerve endings.
Granted, I've never had a 3rd-degree burn,
but still... Either that or it's a joke
that I don't get. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- Bob
- Comment:
I've had 3rd degree burns, granted you
do lose some feeling but it's still
a horrible, horrible pain. - Blanket
- The goofs takes place near the beginning
of the film during the infamous exploding
head scene. After the explosion you'd think
the immediate area would be bloody. But guess
what? No blood, anywhere. - Soulman
- Don't care how much coke you snort.
There no way that you can get shot 100
and still not die (I'm referring to
the film's infamous climax). - Soulman
- (Anachronisms) The film is suppose
to take place in 1978 the Mariel Flotilla
stated in 1980. I know I was there.

- When Mathias is brought before the African
King at the oasis with the sorceress you can
quickly catch site of a camera man in the
bottom left in a white t-shirt and baseball
cap. - Karen
- (Revealing mistakes) In the scene where
the sorceress is about to save Mathias' life
by sucking the "poison" spirit through
his mouth, she goes to stradle him. Looking
in slow-mo, it appears we see a little more
of the sorceress' privates than she expected.
Do you see what I see, or am I wrong? (DVD)
- Jeff
- (Revealing mistakes) In the scene where
the rock is stabbing and slashing people in
the tent where he first meets the girl, if
you look carefully when he slashes one person
you can see they didn't make it look like
the guy got slashed because they don't have
any cuts or anything. (DVD) - TAZ
AKA: Christmas Carol, A
- (Crew / equipment visible)
Scrooge (played by Alister Sym) walks over
to a mirror near the end of the film and talks
to himself while looking in the mirror. If
you observe his reflection in the mirror carefully,
you'll notice that in the reflection is a
technician wearing headphones. He quickly
ducks out of the way but not quickly enough!
- John
- Addition: I
have seen with movie I know at least 50
times. It always tickles me at the end
when Scrooge wakes up after his night
of spirits and realizes that he has not
missed Christmas Day. Well, the housekeeper,
Mrs. Dilber comes in with his morning
tray. At some point he faces a mirror
in his room and you can clearly see someone
peaking out from behind the bed curtains.
This happens twice! I guess there is still
a spirit hanging around! - Laurie
- In this John Wayne classic, I was amazed
to see this goof. I need to know from someone
else if it's the real deal! About half-way
through the film, there will be the campfire/
ambush scene. I swear that in the longshot
of Mr. Futterman on the ridge, about to shoot
Ethan and Martin, the top of the backdrop
and the catwalk with studio lights can be
seen. (VHS) - Kieth

- (Revealing mistakes) After the Indian's
kidnap/murder raid, the first search party
will find a large rock with a "dead"
Indian warrior underneath. As they pull back
the stone and the camera closes in, watch
the half-buried actor take in (and let out)
a very deep breath, before he can hold still.

- At the beginning of the movie, when Timmy
receives a key that is placed around his neck.
If you do slo-mo as he is walking out the
door, there is no key around his neck. In
the next scene the key necklace is back. -

- As Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor's characters
are attempting to escape from the police,
they are forced to crawl through a hole in
a wall. Since Wilder is handcuffed, he has
a tougher time getting through the hole. You
can clearly see the outline of kneepads underneath
Wilder's pants in this scene, but they disappear
after that. - Andrew

- There is a part in the movie where the robber
is taking the ladys purse and then she screams
"Help Help" Then Spot runs to get
the purse from the robber and then Spot jumps
onto the robber and takes the purse from him
and then he brings it to the lady and then
Arquette trys to make up for the purse but
then the lady magically starts doing sign
language. (weird) - Movie

- Emma Thompson, in the scene where she is
waiting for her sister, is offered a cup to
tea by the husband of one of the characters.
The wife in a very short time after offers
yet another cup of tea to Emma Thompson's
character. - prootski
- Correction:
When the wife (I don't remember her name)
hands Emma Thompson the cup of tea and
then a moment later is handed another,
this is suppose to show that alot of time
has passed by while col. Brandon finds
Kate Winslet. - Kelly
- Shoot the cameraman! For he has shot himself.
Opening sequence, panning down the department
store, you can see both camera and clever

- Sara is in the Ballroom talking to a Hotel
employee. She turns her back as if she is
leaving [there is a small amount of sweat
on her back]. Then she turns back again to
talk to the Hotel employee. Now there is a
large amount of sweat on her back at the end
of the conversation. (DVD) - The

- When Detective William Somerset (Morgan
Freeman), returned to the house where the
fat man was murdered, he had to break the
police scene crime tape from the outside (he
introduced a cutter through the door). How
the police sealed the house from the interior?
- Silvia Fong
- In the scene where Mills (Pitt) and Somerset
(Freeman) are in the car on the way Back from
the fat guy "homicide", the camera
switches from Mills to Somerset as they talk.
The scene is shot in the rain but the feeling
continuity is lost as you see it is raining
hard when the camera looks at Somerset and
it is barely drizzling when it looks at Mills.
- Lefty
- Explanation:
This scene has been noted by the director
in the 2nd disc of the DVD edition. Apparently,
the original filming didn't quite capture
the scene. So, they had to fill it again.
However, in doing this, they had to fill
Pitt with a rain machine (some of the
extras are not using umbrellas, you'll
see), and Freeman's character with real
rain. Rent the DVD and check it out! -

- When the delivery guy is driving the van
to where Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and the
killer are, and Morgan Freeman goes to meet
it, we hear him say over his radio, "There's
a van coming in, from the north." Well,
if the van was coming from the north, the
sun was in the wrong angle. Because it was
supposed to be morning there. - JP
- In the scene where Brad Pitt and Morgan
Freeman walk in the room where there are tons
of air fresheners and a supposedly dead guy
strapped to a bed, they look at the pictures
taken daily. When the find out the guy on
the bed is still alive, he starts to move
in the bed. Towards the end of that scene,
you see the guys arm covered with cuts and
bruises. If you look at the body you see the
actors real arm next to the bloody arm. (VHS)

- When Morgan Freeman finally picks up the
package which is delivered at the end of the
movie and turns it halfway around, it looks
like the box is empty by the lightness of
his moves. However, he's picking up at least
10 pounds. (VHS) - [Blunt
K12]
- When the box is delivered at the end, it
has stickers on it that UPS uses for international
shipments... I.e. Expedited/express/etc....
and seeing as how the package was sent out
from locally, it wouldn't have that documentation.
- Mandinga
- When the hypnotized sailor is poised to
jump to his death from the building, one or
more U.S. flag are in the background. Originally,
I paid attention to see if the flags would
have the proper amount of stars for the time
period... guess what... when the changed the
camera angle, the flags were gone altogether!
- Kieth

- Asta the dog is seen with a leash starting
to leave a building alone and chasing someone.
He enters a set of revolving doors with no
leash and goes 'round and 'round and 'round.
The scene just after shows him tottering from
the revolving doors, now with the leash. Obviously
going alone into the revolving doors with
a leash would kill the poor dog, but it is
still a flub. (TV) - driver
- In the first scene of the movie, the actress
is holding a cigarette on a holder. The cigarette
changes length from short to long, back to
short again several times. - Jan
- Shadrach was given a Mickey Mouse watch
when he was 10, in around 1845. - Bonnie
- Info: That

Mickey Mouse debuted on November 18, 1928
in the animated cartoon Steamboat Willie.
- I'll say this without giving away any plot
lines. When Shaft is confronted by "two
guys" who are trying to kill him, his
partner, Carmen, sneeks up behind "the
first guy" and shoots him in the head
and he goes down. She then shoots "the
second guy" in the stomach. When the
camera gets back to Carmen "the first
guy" is still standing up just as he
was before he got shot. - swmchristian
- The scene when Vanessa Williams comes around
the corner to shoot one of the bad cops that
are about to kill Samuel Jackson, whom had
just previous shot her because they thought
she had no bullet proof vest on. The goof
is when Vanessa comes around the corner and
points the gun at the back of one of the bad
cops head as they are all standing. Pay attention
to the cops shoulder in the left corner of
the screen, as she shoots him in the head
u see him take the blow and fall towards the
ground. Then his partner gets shot by Samuel.
Then the next scene she is lowering her gun
after she shot him, and u see the bad cops
shoulder in the same position standing. Then
the scene after that the bad cop she shot
is laying on the ground dead. Check it out
for validity. (DVD) - E

- During the scene when John Shaft is chasing
the Mexican guy, the guy runs by two women
carrying groceries and knocks the two women
down causing them to drop their bags and spill
their groceries all over the stairs, but a
few seconds later when John Shaft runs by
the same two women, they are carrying the
bags again like they were never knocked down
by the Mexican guy. (VHS) - trequan
- In one scene, you can see Hal talking to
his neighbor with his door open, and the room
number says 419, but later in the movie when
he is about to enter his apartment, the room
number is now 420. (Format: Theatre) - umyeah

to the child burn victim, you can see a microphone
dip down and then back out at the top of the

- Hal is arguing with his girlfriend and she
storms off and gets a gigantic piece of cake.
The camera follows her then comes back onto
the cake. There is only a small piece missing.

- Hal's girlfriend falls and breaks a chair
in the restaurant. As she is falling, she
is wearing black panties. Then the next shot
shows her in red panties. (Theatre) - The

Her chair breaks and as she is falling you
can see her panties [Black], Ok as she falls
more they turn [Red] OOOps. (VHS) - The

- (Factual errors) It is stated that in Kiribati,
100,000 women and children are in need of
relief. Trouble is, Kiribati is a very small
country and 100,000 is considerably more than
its total population! - Tiffany
- (Plot holes) In shallow hal, hal gives a
girl his number, at the end of the movie she
says to him,"why didn't u call me?"!!!
Hal did not get her number so how was he suposed
to call her??? As u can see that is a flaw!
(DVD) - kim
- (Anachronisms) Okay, it's a small one, but
in the scene where Roy and Chon are walking
away from their car wreck, look up in the
sky. There is a jet trail clearly visible
in the clouds. Since it is supposed to be
the late 1800's, this is a bit unusual...

- In the beginning when you see the train
coming down the tracks and they are getting
ready to rob it you see power poles and lines,
but in 1881 they didn't have power duh. -
kristie
- Comment: They
could have been telegraph poles, because
those were invented back then. - The
X Files Freak
- Correction: Early
telegraph wires were either single
strand or double hung. These are modern
wires. Also a little later in the
film when they are on top of the train
you can see a modern sign as they
pass it. - kar98k
- (Anachronisms) Just after Chan hits the
marshal in the hand with the star badge (shown
in the trailer) when Roy and Chan are riding
away, you can clearly see several skyscrapers
off in the distance. It IS 1881 - I don't
think any buildings that large had been built
in the wilds of Nevada at that point. (TV
- panned and scanned but otherwise uncut)
- Blachloch
- (Revealing mistakes) During a fight scene
in the end between Chon Wang and the bad guy
(Lo Fong), Chon jumps on the window sill and
Lo Fong keeps trying to stab him with a spear.
At one point after Chon jumps off the window
sill, Lo Fong stabs the wall with the spear.
The spear tip clearly bends then is straight
again, revealing that a rubber spear was used
for this fight scene. - Nico

- When a guy is drinking a bottle of whisky
outside the saloon(bar), with a horse right
beside him and when he puts the bottle down,
you will notice that the cork is still on
the bottle with some of the liquid still in
the bottle before the horse picks it up to
drink the rest of it. - Ice
Raider
- In the final scene of the movie when Bob
Hoskins and Tom Berenger are about to solve
the mystery, Hoskins take a bullet in the
chest and falls into the water. Minutes late
he manages to survive the bullet and he's
bone dry, too. The explanation for surviving
the bullet is the old metal-booze-flask-in-the-breast-pocket
trick, but never how he ended up getting dry
so quick. - Soulman
- Correction:
Bob Hoskins survived the bullet because
he was shot in the shoulder, not the chest.
The reason he didn't drown because was
he used his inhaler while underwater (yeah,
right). - Soulman

- In the courtyard scene where the young
inmate is interviewed by the warden,
he is shot twice (audible) in the back
and killed. The next scene shows four
bullet blood stains on his back as he
lay dead on the court yard floor. -

- Correction:
You must have a 'cut for TV' version
or something, I just got this on
DVD and there are clearly 4 audible
shots fired. - Austin
Powers
- When the warden in examining the cell
after the escape, he punches through
a poster covering the hole. In order
for the poster to rip the way it does,
it would have to be tacked on all 4
corners. How would that have been done
from the back or tunnel side of the
poster? - bill
- Correction:
The warden through a rock through
it. It wouldn't have mattered if
the poster was tacked on 4 corners
or 2 because of the velocity of
the rock. - Dustin

- Near the end of the movie, Andy (Tim
Robbins) has the poster of Raquel Welch
- One Million Years B.C. in his jail
cell. That movie didn't come out until
after the timeline of Shawshank Redemption.
- Bill
Greenwood
- Correction:
Actually, Andy Dufresne escapes
some time in the '70s. ONE MILLION
YEARS BC came out in 1966. - Jagannatha
- Addition:
No, Andy escaped in
1966. Red says so. One Million
Years B.C. was released in 1967,
but it had a screening in 1966,
and posters were released for
it; that explains how Andy has
that poster. - OKSAN
- When the Warden shoots himself, he
points his gun directly under his chin
centrally. Yet, the next scene shows
the entry wound to his right side of
the throat (off-centre)! - weesaint
- Correction:
Actually, the "kick" from
the pistol would have shifted his
hand a split second before the bullet
hit his neck. Thus explaining the
"off center" shot. - MrTrump
- (Spoiler)
At the end, when the main character
escapes, it is obvious that he is still
wearing his prison shoes. However, he
was supposed to leave them in the warden's
shoebox. I don't think inmates get more
than one pair of shoes...Still a great
movie!!! (DVD) - JohnnyG
- How did the poster which covers the
tunnel, get back on the wall? The shot
of him crawling through the tunnel has
he poster off - he cannot turn around
in the tunnel so how did the poster
get back on the wall when they realised
the escape? (TV) - Verajo
- Explanation:
During the flashback scenes of Andy's
escape planning, we see him scraping
at the wall from behind the unattached
bottom end of the poster (it was
hinged at the top). I'm sure he
used this same trick to climb through.
(DVD) - Sam
- (Revealing mistakes) Andy's escape
was through a tunnel he dug through
the wall on the left side of his cell.
Earlier in the movie, you can see that
Andy's cell is not an end cell, rather,
it adjoins another cell to the left.
If he dug a tunnel through the wall,
he would only dig to his neighbor's
cell, not all the way through to the
interior of the prison. - Xanthe

- In the middle of this wonderful movie when
Debra Winger is stranded in the desert, alone
and abandoned, there is a huge sunscreen circle

- In the seen where the guys dad fins all
his collage acceptance letters and is talking
to him about which one to go to you can easily
see the boom mike at the top of the screen
for about 4 seconds. - Moose
- In the scene where Taylor and her friends
are walking down the sidewalk while they are
shopping and Taylor is talking about how her
entire family has been prom queen, right when
she says "and besides not to be a bitch..."
something, I don't know what, falls from her
ear or her hair or something, it looks like
some kind of microphone equipment, or a bug
or something. I really want to know what it
is, it has been bothering me so much! - kelbel
- When "Linda" (Melanie Griffith)
wants to be sent to Berlin as a spy, she tells
her boss that she speaks perfect (low-class)
German because her grandparents come from
Berlin. This means in fact that she speaks
perfect Berliner (kitchen-) dialect. However,
when she is asked by a Nazi in Berlin where
she comes from, she replies some town on the
exact opposite side of Germany - which would
mean that she would speak that dialect instead
of Berlinish. Now the Nazi doesn't even wonder
how a kitchen maid from Dortmund (?) speaks
not perfect Dortmundish but perfect Berlinish!
It really is the same thing as if somebody
said they came from Russia but they only could
speak Dutch! Very likely, huh? - Salla
- In EVERY opening scene of the 'made for
TV' series Shogun, you'll see the ship, Arasmus,
bobbing about. A shadow goes by a couple of
times. Freeze frame will show a very good
shadow of the Hughes 500C helicopter apparently
used in the filming. Not bad for the 17th
century! - Paul
- During a "dramatic" moment when
the leads (I remember one was Albert Finney),
are having a discussion outside the apartment
door, the boom mike appears like a shark fin
from the bottom of the screen for nearly the
entire shot. (Theatre) - truualwayz

- In the scene where Cristal and Zack are
going to get a lap dance with Nomi at the
Cheetah Club; after they all walk through
