3.Continuity: When Richard Gere goes into the salon looking for Julia, she notices who he is, and shows her friend the article. The article is laying on the counter. After they finish his hair, you can still see the newspaper article on the counter. Where is the article in the last shot?

It's taped to the mirror.

6.Factual error: Trying to cozy up to Richard Gere's character, who she knows to be a Miles Davis fan, Julia Roberts gives him a battered-up LP of Davis's "Kind of Blue" album, which he tells her is very rare. Why is that statement incorrect?

Maggie presents Ike with a gift of the 'Miles Davis' album "Kind of Blue." The closeup shot is that of the original 1950's album cover. The camera cuts to a shot of the two of them in the doorway, and the album cover has changed to the "Columbia Jazz Masters" reissue cover from much later.

 

[SecretLove69]

I don't actually think that's the correct answer but the only thing close I could come up with.

2.Continuity: In the scene where Maggie and Ike are at the church for the first wedding she runs downstairs through the Sunday school room and climbs out the window. What happens when she is climbing out the window?

There is a runner going to the street. When Ike climbs out, the next shot, the runner is gone.

Although you are correct about the different album covers, I was looking for a little more detail. Just the different covers would make a continuity mistake. I'll give you a chance to add the detail I'm looking for if you want to try ... just 'cuz I like you

otherwise if someone else can come up with what I'm looking for first, I'm going to have to give them the point.



Lexielou2 is correct
lovemonster is correct ... welcome to the thread LM
FantasySlut is correct ... welome to you also FS

"Kind of Blue" is one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and is not rare at all.

Next Movie
Sixteen Candles
For Her ... because I know how much she loves this movie

1.Continuity: When Long Duk Dong comes speeding out of the parking lot after the dance, there is only one other person in the car with him. When the shot immediately changes to a close-up through the windshield, there are now two other people in the car and The Donger is different. Who is in the car with him, and what is different about him? - NCM

2.Visible crew/equipment: When Samantha and her mother are talking in the kitchen, what can be seen? - FS

3.Continuity: The guy with the red Star Trek glasses is standing behind Sam and Randy as they walk in at the beginning of the dance, and he is staring at the scoliosis girl (Joan Cusack). Where is he in the next shot? - Nero

4.Continuity: They make the point that Ted can't take the prom queen home in Jake's car because he does not know how to drive a stick shift (Jake's Porsche) so Ted takes her home in Jake's dad's Rolls-Royce. When does this error come to light and how? - DDGirl

5.Other: When Long Duk Dong pulls up in front of Samantha's house to drop her off before going to Jake's party, there is a drive-in restaurant tray attached to the passenger-side door of the car. On top of the tray are paper Coke cups and burger wrappers. Why would this be an error? (Be specific please) - Molly

6.Continuity: In the opening shot of Jake's party, a girl wearing a light, multi-colored dress is sitting on the back of the sofa talking to a guy in a blue t-shirt. In the close-up of Jake, as he enters the room (with a disgusted look on his face) where is the girl and who is she talking to? - Lexie

First you see the flash, then the bang, and then the German sniper gets hit through his scope. What fact makes this a mistake?

Bullets fired from a high-powered rifle travel much faster than sound -- thus he would have been hit and killed before he heard the bang.
