Indiana Jones new movie mistakes

Indiana jones2When I watched the movie, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I wondered how the crystal skull was so magnetized that it attracted things from far away, yet it didn’t seem to affect weapons or the vehicles it was near.  Apparently there were quite a few other movie mistakes.

Here are just a few:

Continuity: In the beginning of the film, when the Russians are talking to Indy, his shirt is tucked, then in another shot it’s untucked, then it’s tucked again. This continues for about 3-5 shots.

Factual error: In the scene where they are flying to Peru from US, they fly over a “map” of a Central America region and the country of Belize is shown. That country was the British Honduras until 1973. It was then renamed to Belize.

Continuity: In the malt shop, Mutt jumps up from the table and knocks over the mustard and ketchup bottles. When the camera turns to Indy, the bottles are standing up. Then, in the next shot, you see Indy stand them up as Mutt sits down.

Continuity: During the chase above the waterfall, the assault boat has its machine gun snapped off. When the assault boat goes over the waterfall the gun is visible again for a few seconds. The gun is gone when they get to the bottom.

Revealing: Right after Indy comes out of the refrigerator, after the nuke exploding, the scene changes to an airfield with two cars driving across the screen. These two cars are obviously CGI, as the first car turns, despite the wheels staying pointing straight.

Continuity: After Indiana and team fall off the disappearing stairs, they are walking around in the water. But when they step through the next door into the treasure room, all are completely dry.

  1. Ok, now I got to go watch it again just to see these… LOL Either way, this movie was AWESOME and I loved it.

  2. …we (my partner and i) observe these kind of “glaring errors” in movies and books and wonder if we could make a living correcting them prior to publication.

    glad to see we are not the only ones paying attention. good job!
