- When the plane flies over the sub, the man
with the dark hair on the viewer's right,
can be seen looking through his binoculars,
taking them away from his eyes and turning
his head. When the angle changes he repeats
the action. - don
and david
- After the radio tower is blown up on the
enemy ship it naturally catches on fire, when
they show several camera angles on this suspense
building event, watch the radio tower as it
constantly switches from being on fire, to
a bunch of smoke to being on fire and at last
being just smoke again. - don and david
- When the U-boat is trying to seek a safe
harbour in England. It is heading east to
northeast. But the sunrise scenes would show
they are heading east southeast. - pat
- When the submarine was going to dive, the
diving alarm (klaxon), was sounded three times.
The alarm for diving is two times. Sounding
the klaxon three times is the signal to surface.
- Jake
- The German destroyer that the sub shoots
at is a total mock up because the gun mounts
are US Navy from the Fletcher Class destroyer.
- Bork
- When the American Navy Gets the The code
book from the German Sub the book is soak
and wet. On U boats code books where equipped
with special ink that when wet smeared so
it would not be ledgible. This was invented
so that it would be harder to steal. - Jokesta8224
- During the departure scene of the S-boat
(American Submarine) pulling away from the
dock, a very modern white painted marine navigational
radar is clearly visible above the pilot house
of the vessel (P29) at the left/rear of the
screen. Radar technology was just emerging
during WWII and surface ship emitters of that
era were large, parabolic shaped and often
constructed of metal mesh rods. (DVD) - Mark
- (Continuity) During the Indiana Jones-style
fantasy sequence at the beginning of the movie,
"Weird" Al strikes a Hispanic man
with a whip, causing his left arm to fall
off. We then see the detached arm on the ground...
a RIGHT arm! - GeddyRulz
- (Continuity) When Philo (Anthony Geary)
is installing surveillance equipment at U62's
competing station, Channel 8, he's holding
a pencil between his teeth. After a short
cut-away, we then see Philo again... without
the pencil in his mouth! - GeddyRulz
- When Dunn follows Samuel Jackson's character
to his room, there are several newspaper headlines
on the wall, reporting disasters. One reads,
"Mudslides in Mexico: All Dead Expect
Newborn"....expect instead of except.
- whit
- Comment: About
the newspaper articles. "Mudslide
in Mexico......" How is it wrong?
What is wrong about him causing a mudslide
in Mexico? How is that a mistake? - Jess
- The mistake
is in the spelling in the headline.
I quote: "Expect instead of except."
- Samuel Jackson's character speaks near the
end of the movie about a 737 crashing, killing
all 200 (or thereabouts) onboard, but a 737
doesn't carry much more than about 150 persons.
- When Bruce kills the janitor in the stranger's
house, he is clearly still breathing while
in shot. - kc
- Correction:
The janitor wasn't supposed to be dead,
Bruce just gave him the sleeper. - Matt
- When you first meet S. Jackson's character
as a child, he is watching TV. The reflection
in the TV is such that his Right arm is broken,
but in the next scene when he runs down to
get his gift, his left arm is broken (ruined
the whole movie for me). - Chunk
- When Willis is searching the guy for drugs
at the football game, you see a scene with
him in a bathroom getting something out of
a trash can. He is wearing an orange and blue
jacket. When it goes back to the search it
is a pure blue jacket. - Gunter
Prim
- Someone else should have played David Dunn,
because Bruce Willis has a visible scar even
though he is never suppose to have been injured.
- kyara
- After the team is assembled and arrives
at the training camp, there's a long shot
of Gene Hackman walking toward a man (later
we see it's Patrick Swayze), who exits a tent
and stands "at ease." In the long
shot, Swayze casts a shadow and is further
from the tent that in the upcoming tighter
shot, where he's closer to the tent and now
he casts no shadow at all. They did the tighter
shot later in the day. (DVD) - Kieth
Moreland
- In the final credits, the name Michael Dudikoff
(American Ninja movie series, etc.) is listed
twice, once his role is given as "Blaster's
Assistant." I've see this movie and few
times, and now I own it on DVD, I've yet to
see Dudikoff, (or anyone else for that matter)
"assisting" Blaster's character.
(DVD) - Kieth
Moreland
- I've never been sure if this website considers
"stand-in" locations as goofs. In
the scene where Gene Hackman catches up with
Randall "Tex" Cobb's "Sailor"
character, we're told he's in jail in Houston
(Texas). The jail rooftop scene was filmed
in Los Angeles, at the old Lincoln Heights
Jail, that sits next to the (concrete-lined)
Los Angeles River, near Dodger Stadium. That's
more than a 1000+ miles from Houston. (DVD)
- Kieth Moreland
- When they introduce the audience to the
training camp.. the words "SOUTH OF HOUSTON"
(or something to that effect) come on the
screen showing a mountain range...... The
nearest mountain range SOUTH of Houston would
be in South America as everything South of
Houston is coastal prairie. The highest point
in Houston is the I-10 Ship Channel bridge!
- Todd
- In the infamous fight/shower scene between
White She Devil and Sistah Gurl, Undercover
Brother's glasses are on, then they're off,
then on, then off, so on and so on. (Theatre)
- Paige
- Guy guarding Steven Seagal in the meat locker
gets shot up you can see that later for a
split sec. there are not bullet holes in his
shirt. - David
- When Steven Seagal drops a piece of yellow
steel on one of the terrorists, you can clearly
see that he is a dummy. Directly after this
scene, Seagal punches a terrorist in the face
and he gets tangled in ropes, but when Seagal
punches him, there is obviously no impact.
- David
- In one scene, Seagal blows up a door, if
you look you can see that the terrorists that
are getting blown up are dummies. - David
- (Revealing mistakes) When Seagal is, handcuffed,
in the ice box he lays on his back to slip
the 'cuffs from his back to his front. We
see that the 'cuff's chain is about 10-12
links long (I've been a cop over 25 years,
they don't make 'em that long for the precise
reason you seeing in the scene). Anyway, when
he's out of the cooler and gets the key from
the dead guard, he unlocks the 'cuffs, and
the chain link is now only the standard two/three
links in length. (VHS) - Kieth
Moreland
- (Continuity) Isn't it a little strange?
I've always found the water to be grey/blue
and rolling in the open ocean. Yet when Seagal
swims from the "Mighty Mo" to the
terrorist submarine (and especially near the
sub), the water is murkey brown and quite
calm. (VHS) - Kieth
Moreland
- (Continuity) As Seagal and his crew attempt
to destroy the remaining missile headed for
Hawaii, we see Seagal's wristwatch showing
0900 hours. The missiles is destroyed, and
Seagal asks the Admiral to, "call off
the bombers, sir"! Seagal's wristwatch
shows between 0903 to 0905 hours. (VHS) -
Kieth Moreland
- When Seagal throws one of the terrorists
off of the train into a pile of rocks, you
can clearly see that the rocks are soft. -
David
- In one scene a terrorist gets blown up by
a bomb that says"you're f-cked"
on it. When they cut back to the terrorist,
you can see that he is wearing a flame-retardant
mask with a fake mustache on it. - David
- When Seagal hits the guy into front of the
train, it is obvious that it switches to a
dummy. - David
- Why is Seagal character able to outrun a
speeding train? - David
- When Seagal fights the gray-haired guy,
some of the shots are obviously speeded up.
This same thing happens in Seagal's load-of-crap
movie "fire down below". - David
- When Seagal is showing the porter how to
use the handgun while they are in the baggage
car, she says "This is a .45, okay?"
The gun is a 9mm Glock. - Admiral
John
- When Seagal gets into the pickup truck and
'hot wires' it when he is giving chase to
the train, you can see that the keys are already
in the ignition. - Orin
Boyd
- At the end of the movie, when Travis Dane
is lying in the ditch, you can see that it
is a digital computer image of him. (VHS)
- Skorpyo01
- When the little boy fell onto the dirt,
the sand was brown but in that spot that he
had fallen was a dark black, and that spot
had seemed to sink a bit as if it was a cushion.
(TV) - Yoshi
- You can see the microphone above people's
heads all through out the movie. (Theatre)
- Scuff
- Explanation:
Actually, when you see the boom mikes
all through the movie it means it was
projected wrong at the theater. It's not
a "studio mistake". - barney
- Richard Gere gets into a tub with Diane
Lane but you can see his shorts. If he was
getting in the tub to make love to his wife,
why would he wear shorts? (Theatre) - Scuff
- In the closing shoot-out scene, the wimpy
writer is last seen trying to escape out the
back of the bar. All of Munny's shooting victims
are shown dropping to the floor. When the
smoke clears, guess who's under one of the
bodies, believing that he's been shot? None
other than the same wimpy writer who was last
seen running for the door. - Saint
- One scene where Caroline (Marisa Tomei)
went to Adam's (Christian Slater) house, she
took off her scarf and unzipped her coat a
little bit. Then a few seconds later, her
coat is tied up again. Then she unties it
for a second time.

- The Canadians probably laughed
their asses off when Eliot Ness
made his first unsuccessful bust:
The movie takes place in the 1930s
and you can see boxes decorated
with maple leaf logos. That logo
was first seen in 1965 when Canada
introduced its flag.
- Ness visits Malone at his home.
Malone is seated with his collar
buttoned. He stands and collar is
unbuttoned. Then he sits with his
collar buttoned again. - pat
- Here's a case of "artistic
license." In The Untouchables,
Eliot Ness tosses Frank Nitty off
the building to his death during
the Capone trial. In real life,
Nitty took over the mob after Capone's
sentence. Guess he didn't die after
all. - Jim
Kaiser
- To add to your section on the
artistic license in the Untouchables,
there is the point that Ness did
not marry OR have children until
after his days in pursuit of Capone.
Yet in the film he is portrayed
as a happily married father. - John

The maple leaf
logo was introduced in 1965.

- (Spoiler)
By the time of Malone's death (Sean
Connery), the guy that's about to
kill him with a machine gun opens
a red matchbox, in which is handwritten
Malone's address, and there is just
a few matches on it. Later on, by
the occasion of Capone's trial frank
Nitty, the guy who killed Malone,
is carrying a gun and Eliot Ness
asks the guard to put him out of
the room. Then, outside Ness examines
his pockets and finds the same red
matchbox with Malone's address.
But this time the matchbox is full!!!!
- Olavo
- Nitty and Ness are on the roof.
Ness grabs Nitty and they're right
next to a doorway. In the next scene
they are shown much further back.

- The young black non super hero son rescues
a girl from a flaming building. Before going
in he is masked and his eyes are painted
black behind the eye holes to match the
black mask. He looses his mask during the
rescue but his eyes look normal. He doesn't
have painted black eyes as you would expect.

When the two girls look
in the back of the truck and find somebody's
body it is raining hard. Then when they
start to run it is not raining. Then it
starts raining again. - Wolf
Man

After the girl goes inside
to get help, she comes running out to her
car, and you can see the person in the backseat.
- Paigeroo
-
When Natalie is tied to
the bed. The killer starts to cut deeply
into her stomach. Later in the car she's
just fine. - josh
howell
- When Reese goes into prof. Wexler's office
she falls in a puddle of blood and her entire
back is covered in it, yet in the later scenes
there is no sign of blood anywhere. - KlaudiaTheRocker
- (Spoiler) At the
end when the killer (Brenda) is showing Natalie
slides of her boyfriend and herself, the last
slide is the article in the newspaper. Yet
when Brenda gets shot and falls out the window
the image on the wall is of Brenda and her
boyfriend, not of the newspaper article. -
KlaudiaTheRocker
- This is the scene where Tommy is following
Wesley into the Graveyard. The scene shows
a cab dropping someone off. Well, in one
scene this cab has rims on the tires, but
in the next scene these rims have mysteriously
disappeared. - James Wiese
- When <blank> drops the scalpel onto
Mark near the end of the movie, the blade
falls out (visible near his waistline) but
in the next shot when Mark picks it up,
the blade is back in place. - Scott
- In the same "graveyard following"
scene, Tommy Lee Jones orders his backup
unit out of the cemetery. The backup team
pulls out in reverse and parks in the roadway,
showing the camera crew and their dolly
in the car's polished body. - Kieth
Moreland
- On tbs of 02/02/03 U.S. Marshals showed
Wesley Snipes in the 18 wheeler - the next
scene he was in the swamp and detectives
said they need boats before they even knew
he was in the swamp - the next scene they
found the 18 wheeler in pa and thought he
was moving north. It appears sequence out
of order with swamp scene in between 18
wheeler scenes. (TV) - exceo1999@yahoo.com

- The cripple, Verbal Kint, is supposedly
unable to open a lighter, but when
he checks out of county jail and his
possessions are returned to him, a
lighter is among the possessions.
- Jaymi
- Correction:
The fact that Verbal is given
a lighter when he checks out is
part of a plot device - it is
clearly deliberate so that an
important idea about what is about
to happen is allowed to begin
to form in the viewer's mind.
- mister lister
- When they blow up the cop car, they
pan to an aerial view as soon as the
lighter hits the car. Instantly the
car is in flames, which is usual,
but the fire is in three distinct
sections- not usual, or possible unless
he lit them all separately. - Off

- As they enter the line up room you
can see the mike kind of near Hockney's
head. - Jesus
- In the scene where the group is
infiltrating the building to talk
to Kobayshi, reflections of the camera,
director, and crew are all clearly
visible in one of the marble pillars
by the entrance. - Blue

- In one scene Sean Penn throws some corpses
off of a cliff, the second corpse he throws
is obviously a dummy. - David
- Comment: David
so are you saying that the first is
a real corpse? - Paul
