Great goof


Watched this on the big screen last night..Good movie..A funny goof when Weller character and kid have just left the bunker and are walking through the snow, you can clearly see street lamps at the top of the cliff to their left..Unintentional laughter ensued...

Heh, I've never noticed those. Well, this is one of those movies that I rewatch at pretty regular intervals, so I'll keep an eye it for them next time.

And now I have rewatched it again, and I did see the street lamps. They appear just as Hendricksson, Jefferson, and David Edward Dearing are arriving at NEB HQ. Never noticed them before. There's also what looks like a white building in the upper left.

Their presence may not be a "goof," strictly speaking -- we see our heroes pass through cities and industrial areas in their travels, so it's not beyond belief that there might be outdoor lighting in that area (NEB Command doesn't appear to be isolated the way the Alliance bunker is). But it may still be an oversight.

I was looking for this goof but came across another instead. If you look behind Becker at 45 mins 54 seconds you can see a vehicle on the horizon briefly moving from right to left close to the right hand side. It can then be seen on the left side of the screen about two seconds later when the view switches back.

As for the street lamps, it's as Holmes says. Not necessarily a goof; the planet was colonised for a time and it is not inconceivable to imagine street lights. If you're going to be merciless and unforgiving though, they clearly weren't part of the scene.

Also there is one where, when the Weller's character launches the Mini Pluto and all go fly over the opposite side. Clearly one of them got caught on fire, yet no one is burned when the scene switches....

I am watching it now, and I notice a light right in the middle of the screen....

wait a second.... oh yeah... that is my Budweiser on the coffee table.
