Goofs

Fact errors: Dan's passport photo where he is a very young child is clearly more than 5 years old, yet youth passports in Australia have to be replaced every 5 years. Fact errors: The postcards Dan's mother gave him have two 50 cent stamps on them, yet more than $1 postage is needed to send postcards overseas (to Switzerland); the correct price is $1.20. Revealing mistakes: When Dan is searching on the Internet for a Pesto Recipe, the address on the browser reads "file:url", so it clearly shows that he is accessing a webpage, that is not actually on the Internet. GEOG: When Jacq and Dan are driving from the airport they cross the Story Bridge. The direction signs above them show they are traveling north, however the airport is ON the north side of the river, so southbound would make more sense. In any case, their destination appears to be around Bardon, which is on the same side of the river as the airport. Fact errors: Following the Story Bridge observation, we see Dan and Naomi visiting the Rosalie shopping center (near Bardon), but we see Dan boarding the ferry at Mowbray Park, which is a long way from those suburbs. In fact, no ferries service his school, and he would have a short bus ride from Bardon. |

Chris Burns: I had a girl in there? Did I... you know? Dan: Well, something made her throw up. Jacq: [Looking at the pesto Dan just made] Is that black pepper? [Takes a bite out of the pesto on a biscuit] Dan: What do you think? Jacq: It's crunchy. Dan: The biscuit? Jacq: No, it's like a 'grinding' sort of crunchy? Um, did you wash the basil before you used it? Dan: [Looking confused] Was I supposed to? Jacq: Um, I don't know how to say this but I think your pesto might have actual soil. |
