A Mighty Wind Goofs/Mistakes

  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When the New Main Street Singers are performing at the reunion concert, the only original member is playing with one foot on the ground and one on the rail of his stool. The foot on the ground and on the rail alternate between shots.
  • Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): After Mitch and Mickey are introduced during the concert, there is an overhead distant shot of the stage. Mitch can be seen nodding to the guitarist to his left, and the two begin strumming - but no music is heard. Mickey also begins playing and her lips don't move, but she is heard thanking the audience. It then cuts to a two-shot, and nobody is playing while Mickey continues talking to the audience.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Mitch and Mickey are introducing their song at Town Hall, Mitch's hand is making a "C" chord. In the next shot with just Mickey's head and Mitch's guitar in the background, it has no hand on it. When the shot returns to Mitch and Mickey together, he is still making a "C" chord.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Two minutes into the movie, as Jonathan Steinbloom says he is an organized person, one of the brown packages on his desk is askew on the long shots, but straight in the close-ups.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Terry and Laurie Bohner are telling the story of how they met, Laurie's arm is alternately around Terry's shoulders/by her side between shots.
  • Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): In the final Reunion Scene, you can obviously tell that none of the actors are actually playing guitar. Most of them just move their fingers like strumming, and you can clearly see no vibration from the strings or contact with the fingers and strings.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Pen on top of Lars Olfen's legal pad changes position between shots.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Just before Mitch and Mickey are introduced the MC has his right hand up, holding a piece of blue paper. In the next shot, he has both hands at his sides.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When he's playing alone in the motel room, one of Mitch Cohen's pill bottles moves between shots.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When the New Main Street Singers are playing at the reunion concert, members of the band move around between shots.
