Spot the liner


Next time you watch this film, see if you can spot the large 20th century ocean liner in the background in the bit where the pirates are in the net tied to the mast.

There's several films that have things that accidentally appear in the backround. Early on in Shane, when Shane is riding up to Stark's ranch, there's a car visible in the distant backround, moving across the screen. In a recent movie set in the 19th century, there is a scene lasting a couple of seconds where Winnebago-type campers (the crew's?) are CLEARLY visible. Sorry I don't remember the name of the flick. It was six or eight years ago. In yet another recent film, there were several scenes where the overhead microphone was lowered well into view and staying in view the entire length of the scene. If you ever watch the The Great Escape in its full width, there is a scene where Steve McQueen is talking through "the cooler"'s window to a fellow prisoner. An arm holding a microphone is visible on the far edge of the scene. Lastly, in the 1951 version of a Christmas Carol, featuring Alastair Sim, there's a scene where Scrooge is talking into a mirror. The mirror is also reflecting one of the observing crewman who was standing somewhere behind the camera.

In the scene where Captain Vallo releases his crew from the net(1hr.33 mins),the Vessel in the background is a fully-rigged Sailing ship. Not an ocean liner!
