Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (revealing mistake): After night falls, characters and/or the camera view the volcano from various angles - some 90 degrees removed from one another - but are always seeing the same side of the volcano with the same patterns of lava flow (since it is actually a piece of stock footage matted into the frame).
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Anderson drives the Jeep and passes the helicopter, with change of the camera angle also the position of the sun changes, revealing that the shots were made at different times of the day.
Steve McQueen was under contract to Irwin Allen, after refusing a part in "The Towering Inferno 2", that film was scrapped and Paul Newman was brought in to make this film. Steve McQueen never made another Irwin Allen film, he died shortly after passing on "The Towering Inferno 2".
Ernest Borgnine claims in his memoirs that reason why the film special effects are so cheap looking that the huge amount of location shooting absorbs what was usually spent on FX.
