Goofs
|
Continuity: The group dries off too quickly after emerging from the pond in Central Park. Miscellaneous: While everyone (male) is dancing in jail, extra goes to jump at fence/bars and misses terribly. Continuity: During the "Flesh Failures" scene near the end of the film, when the soldiers are marching into the back of the transport plane, the soldiers change places in mid-march. Continuity: When Berger first appears before the judge there are two pitchers of water that are moving as if the table was bumped. In the next shot they are standing perfectly still. Continuity: During "Easy To Be Hard" a redheaded woman disappears and reappears on a park bench. Continuity: Toward the end of "Easy To Be Hard" the UPS delivery truck on the corner disappears and reappears. FAIR: SPOILER: When Berger goes to Vietnam the army only knows him as Claude Bukowski, but on his tombstone it has Berger's real name. However, at the beginning of the movie Berger is burning his draft card. It is possible that he could have told someone of the mistake, and, since Berger was supposed to be drafted anyway, they kept him. Continuity: While Steve and Sheila are driving to the school on their own, Sheila's hair is straight. After Berger "joins" them, it is curly. Continuity: The seasons in central park are constantly shifting between spring, summer and fall, sometimes within the same scene. Continuity: Before the skinny-dipping, Sheila is asking George, "What are you going to do?" and her hair is messy, but in the very next shot of her, her hair is fixed neatly. Continuity: The fold in the money Bukowski holds in court changes orientation and is also folded more neatly between shots. Continuity: During the "Good Morning Starshine" scene in the convertible the mirror in the middle is removed (you see only a dot) to get a better shot at Sheila, who is sitting in the middle. Later when Berger drives to the army camp the mirror is back where it belongs. Continuity: Moments after swimming in Central Park lake, Hud's afro is completely dry. |

Prison Psychiatrist: And men? Woof: What do you mean...? Prison Psychiatrist: You have any sexual attraction towards men? Woof: You mean if I'm a homosexual or something like that? Prison Psychiatrist: Yeah. Woof: Well, I wouldn't kick Mick Jagger out of my bed, but uh, I'm not a homosexual, no. Hippy: The draft is white people sending black people to make war on the yellow people to defend the land they stole from the red people! Jeannie: I know who the father is. Hud: Yeah, you know that, you know a lot. If the baby comes out all white and squishy-like, crying his ass off, then we know Woof is definitely the daddy. But if he comes out all beautiful and chocolate brown, that's mine! Sheila: [after receiving Claude's letter] So, I was thinking of writing him. What should I say? Jeannie: Oh! I wanna say something! I wanna say... um... tell him I said... um... Jeannie says 'Hi!' Sheila, Jeannie: [in song] Gliddy glup goopy, nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo. Sabba sibby sabba, nooby abba nabba le le lo lo. Tooby ooby walla, nooby abba nabba. Early morning singing song. Berger, Hud, Woof: [in song] Hair like Jesus wore it. Hallelujah! I adore it! Hallelujah! Mary loved her son. Why don't my mother love me? Berger: Where you from? Claude Bukowski: Oklahoma. Jeannie: listen man I know what how it feels, I used to come from Kansas myself. 'Aquarius' soloist: [In song] When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planet and love will steer the stars. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Jeannie: So, do you wanna to get married? Claude Bukowski: To who? Jeannie: Me! Woof, Hud, Berger: [singing] Oh say, can you see my eyes? If you can, then my hair's too short. Steve: We'll have it [the money] for you at four o'clock. Berger: See, that's just what my other problem is, man. Steve: What? Berger: You're full of shit. [Sheila laughs] Chorus: [singing] Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair, shining gleaming steaming flaxen waxen. Give me it down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer, here, baby, there, mamma, everywhere, daddy daddy hair! Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair! Berger: Bukowski! Claude Bukowski: Yes, Sergeant! Berger: Let's move it out! Claude Bukowski: Yes, Sergeant! Berger: Double time, soldier. Claude Bukowski: Yes, Sergeant! Claude Bukowski: Sir? Berger: In the car, soldier! Claude Bukowski: Yes, Sergeant! Berger: Are you an asshole, soldier? Claude Bukowski: No, Sergeant! Berger: That's too bad, because I am. Berger: What do you say, Pop? Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: What do you say what? Mr. Berger, George's Father: If you need money, get a job. Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: Money? You're talking about money? What you need money for? Berger: Nothin', Ma, I just need it. Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: Who is she? Berger: Who is who? Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: The girl. Who is the girl? Berger: What are you talkin' about? There's no girl. Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: Who is the girl? You can tell us everything, we understand everything! Tell us the truth! Berger: What are you talkin' about, tell you the truth? Mr. Berger, George's Father: Goddammit, every time you come home there's trouble. Why don't you clean yourself up a bit? Why don't you get a haircut? Get a haircut and I'll give you the money, you don't even have to pay it back. Berger: [angry] You'll give me the money if I get a haircut? Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: [to Berger] Give me your pants! Berger: The pants are clean! Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: Give me your pants! Berger: [yelling] Why? They're clean, for Christ's sake! [Mom gets upset and walks away; Berger follows her into the hallway] Mrs. Berger, George's Mother: [softly] How much you need? |
