I caught that the police report of the missing girl said she had a tattoo on her left ankle, but when Blonde Cop Lady notified the parents, she said they knew it was their daughter because they identified the tattoo on her right ankle.
I rewound the tape the check, then I kept waiting for the show to reveal that the dead girl was not the missing child. They never did, so I can only assume the Continuity Intern was out sick that day.
The church you see her running up the steps of is less than a mile from where I’m sitting right now. The next scene, inside the church is funny to us locals,as the actual church is very large and ornate, unlike the small set seen in the movie. The y wouldn’t let them shoot inside the church and, in fact did not give permission for them to shot the shot of Terry Farrell running up the steps. The crew snuck down there in the dead of night to get the shot.
I’m gonna weigh in on this too. I’m a Bay Area native now living in L.A., and my family, who remain in the Bay Area, are absolute Nazis about not saying “the” in front of the highway name. I picked up the habit in L.A. without even realizing it. I always have the radio on KGO when I’m up there, and they never say “the”. I’ll have to check out those other stations.
As for Monk, I had heard it was filmed in Canada. Is that wrong?

I was there during several of the shots showing the chaos breaking out in the streets of “New York”, actually downtown Greensboro, NC. In one shot you can see a newspaper box for our local paper. In another you see Farrell run past a store’s sign that reads “New York Wigs”, which is a real store here.
It was just a minor brush with greatness, but it was still fun to chat with Pinhead on the streets of my own city. He’s short, by the way.
Ha! That reminds me of the quite plump prisoners of war in Black Sheep Squadron.
IMDb says LA since season 2. Looks like the pilot was filmed in Vancouver BC and I guess you can infer that the rest of season 1 was filmed in Toronto.
Not at all. Production companies should be free to film wherever they can find qualified people.
I’m well aware of that, but if i give you three sides of a cube, you couldn’t figure out where the other three sides are?
Incidently, I would put forward every math point discussed in “NUMB3RS”. Not that the mathematics itself is wrong, but the idea that it would take a PhD hours to solve these problems. Most could be solved by a high school senior in about 30 seconds.
I caught this obvious mistake from “Silence of the Lambs” as soon as I heard it: The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - Goofs - IMDb
Born in '51. I have a vaccination scar that I assume is smallpox. It’s the only scar on my upper arms, and I don’t know of any other vaccinations that would produce a scar like that. I would never have described it as a flower. It’s a very shallow pit, roughly circular, about the size of a dime, with irregular scar tissue inside.
Ha 
Guess I should have written "Is that incorrect?
Well, that sounds right. But what DID they say? “Release!” “Shoot!” “Arch!” “Twang!” Was there a signal, or did archers just arch away and pray?
Something similar happened with the “Die Harder” movie, some of which was filmed near Longmont, Colo. The bad guys set up shop in a little church ostensibly at the end of the runway (actually, about 40 miles north of Denver, but I know they were pretending there was a little white church at the end of the old Stapleton runway.) Anyway, once inside, the church grows to about three times its size! There is no way the interior shots would have fit inside the church you see from the outside.
SuaSponte’s anecdote about The Stand reminds me of a well-known error from The Sound of Music. At the end of the film, based on the direction of the sun, the Von Trapps are climbing the Alps back into Nazi Germany rather than escaping.
Of course, I could talk about Hawaii 5-0, Magnum PI, Jake and the Fat man, etc. They often had to rename things because no matter how popular, they ain’t gonna close government buildings, hotels, roads just so you can film.
I’ve read elsewhere on the Boards (but don’t have time to search at the moment) that the typical command was “Loose!”.
Anytime that any movie depicts radioactive material it’s always flourescent green. (shuddering) Most radioactive material (especially for bomb for nuclear power purposes) is a metal. So it looks like a piece of metal. Not like Prell shampoo.
Then there’s the whole confusion between steam suits and anti-contamination clothing. Both are full-body suits for hazardous environments, but they are not the same thing. The big silvery suits that you sometimes see people wearing when they have to deal with nukular accidents are actually steam suits, meant to keep someone alive long enough to shut a key valve or two. They will protect a person from becoming contaminated by radioactive crap, but that’s not their purpose. Seeing people in steam suits in The Truman Show’s reactor accident really bothered me. The steam suits were being worn by people who were clearly visible to the main road. If they needed the suits there - the proper public response would be to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye. Not simply turn around.
The Gallifrey Lutheran Church?
You should have seen how big he was before he was enlisted!
Wheeeeee! Hijaaaaaack!
I did a Google search on “smallpox vaccine scar” and it produced this which looks exactly line the scar I’ve got. WARNING: manboobs visible in photo.
THANK YOU! I was going to post that a few days back after watching the DVD, but I was feeling a little too much like an aging comic book geek that was just being too picky at the time.
However, since we are here - after they ripped the suit off him & left it in his hospital room, somehow it has the capability of regeneration since he had it on when he left the hospital. Maybe he carries a spare up his - well, somewhere…
<whew> Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!
