_Star Wars - Episode IV_ After [spoiler alert] they blow up the Death Star and return to the spaceship-staging-area-field-thingie, Leia dashes toward Luke’s fighter and calls “Luke!” Luke jumps out of the cockpit and shouts, “Carrie!” It’s probably long since been fixed, but the VHS copy I owned c. 1990 had it intact. ETA: I’m surprised no one’s mentioned this yet. I’d think there’d be dozens of Dopers who are familiar with it. EATA: Of course, maybe that makes it not fit the OP. ---

I recall many early episodes of Stargate SG-1 where people’s breath was creating frost as they spoke. Apparently all those alien planets were in Canada and it was very cold. 😉 ---

> [@terentii](#): > > _ **The Saint** _ > > If you knew Moscow like I know Moscow, you’d know Val Kilmer couldn’t possibly get from the Hotel Ukraina to Red Square in under ten seconds! :eek: The geography in the two Robert Downey, Jr., **Sherlock Holmes** films is also ridiculous – he manages to get from the House of Commons to Tower Bridge in about 30 seconds when they’re two miles apart. He also manages to get to Switzerland pretty damn fast for going on a horse. But the champion for bad geography is **The Day After Tomorrow.** The trailer shot of the tidal wave hitting Manhattan shows no sign of Long Island (which would block it if it were coming from that direction) – Manhattan is shown right on the ocean. Then the water is shown moving up the avenues, but from that angle, the wave had to have originated in New Jersey. Finally, the big killer ice storm is coming from the north, yet it hits the Empire State Building (34th Street) before it gets to the New York Public Library (42nd Street\*). \*NYC Streets are named so that lower numbers are to the south. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Yeah, but _you’re not a superhero._ Bruce Willis’ character in _Unbreakable_ is. Specifically, he’s a superhero who is immune to physical damage. Either through super tough skin, or (as **OneCentStamp** suggested) some sort of near-instantaneous healing ability. > > Either way, he shouldn’t be able to wear an earring. There’s a non-zero chance that “Mr. Glass’s” insanity means the whole damn thing was just insane rantings that suckered in a not too intelligent Willis. So Willis never gets sick, can lift a lot and take a hell of a pounding. Very likely he is “Unbreakable”, but there’s a small chance he already could have done those things. Besides, if Mr.Glass has brittle bones, doesn’t that only mean that Willis has Unbreakable ones? Not that Willis is invulnerable. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > This is quite common. > In the early seasons of MacGuyver LA stood in for all parts of the world. In the later seasons production moved to Vancouver BC and BC stood in for all different parts of the world. I can normally forgive this, but **Justified** is so deeply rooted in Appalachia that it’s especially egregious. The other night we were watching an episode in which the characters are going to visit the Hill Folk, making jokes about how they’re cannibals and such, and the establishing shot shows them driving by a slope covered in sagebrush. Sagebrush, people! They need to get a crew to Appalachia, spend three weeks just getting footage of hills and forests and windy mountain roads, and then greenscreen as necessary. ---

OK, here’s one I spotted. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during the final duel between Obi-wan and Darth Maul, just before Obi-wan is knocked into the shaft via a force push. Darth Maul blocks with both hands on his (now single-bladed) lightsaber, releases the hilt with his left hand, does a force push with his empty right hand (in close-up) and then the POV shifts to a medium shot with the saber back in his right hand and his left extended from delivering the force push. Something bothered me about this scene for a long time until I finally figured it out. At 4:22 in [this clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN2k6VgUyBo) ---

That was filmed in the Eastern Kentucky Desert. A very remote area that and not well-known to outsiders… ---

Anything filmed in LA is full of location errors. One that drives locals nuts was in _Lethal Weapon_, where Mel Gibson starts a foot chase of a car in the Valley, turns a corner and is suddenly on Sunset Blvd. Nice running, Mel. And you aren’t even out of breath. ---

In the Bourne Ultimatum, Pamela Landy is reviewing Jason Bourne’s file and sees a record of the assassination of Vladimir Nesky, a plot point from the previous film. But in that same film, Nicky Parsons says the Nesky mission is “not in [Bourne’s] file”; unbeknownst to Bourne, it was done off the record as part of a scheme to make Conklin and Abbott rich. The record should not be there for Landy to see.
