Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When the helicopter crashes they use footage from the end of shooting for the fire scene, hence a helicopter looks like a car and buildings on fire.
  • Movie Goof (plot holes): When David asks about a payphone, how would he know how much money to put in?
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): Use of Vietnam-era M-151 jeeps and trucks in the World War II scenes.
  • This film is widely believed to be based on a real-life and ill-fated experiment with invisibility and force fields in the 1940s. However, to the best of any factual knowledge, no such experiment ever occurred and the story was the work of an eccentric loner, Carl Allen, who sent notes on the "experiment" to the government in the 1950s and whose story was later leaked. Despite the lack of any factual evidence, the story has become an urban legend and favorite of conspiracy theorists, who point to the lack of evidence as proof that it's being covered up.
