Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Gene Barry also appeared in the original 1953 film "The War of the Worlds" as Dr. Clayton Forrester.
  • Movie Goof (errors in geography): When Ray arrives to his ex-wife's house, you can see a flat forest behind all the houses in the street. After the Jumbo jet has crashed you can see a little hill behind the destroyed houses.
  • The Convoy Scene used only around a dozen vehicles: mostly Hum-jeeps with a few trucks thrown in. There was one M1 tank and one self-propelled cannon (mistaken for a "tank" by most civilians). The convoy roared past Robbie, Ray, and Rachel on the roadside perhaps a half-dozen times. Editing together various shots from different angles created the impression of a much larger convoy.
  • Movie Goof (boom mic visible): When Ray comes home after the Aliens first appear, he falls down in front of a refrigerator. The boom mic is visible at the top of the screen for a few seconds in that shot.
