Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (miscellaneous): When I leave my car out on a fairly sunny day, the metal parts of the seatbelt and the outside of the car become very hot. The temperatures and sunlight in this condition is nowhere near that of the Gobi Desert. There is no way they would be touching and sitting on the metal plane that had been sitting in the desert exposed to the blazing sun for weeks.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): After the crash, the crew poke a hole in the top of the plane to let in some air because the plane is totally covered by sand. Yet during the burial in the next scene the plane is mostly uncovered.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): After Frank has successfully ignited the engine, Kelly kisses him and proceeds to the right wing. However, in the next shot she's on the left wing.
  • Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): Just after Alex Rodney is shot and carried back to the 'plane, the camera watching him pans round for a long shot of the group under their shelter. Sammi is seen to the left, being emotional, and a cameraman is seen standing filming him, presumably for a close-up which was not used.
