Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Princess Lily releases her bird at the beginning of the movie, it just falls over on the grass. Crew: When Oona flies away from Gump towards the end, a black rod (part of the fx equipment) swishes above Gump's head briefly in the top right hand side of the frame. SYNC: Oona's opening scenes in the cave (when she's first shown as a human) are out of sync with her voice. Continuity: Lily can clearly be seen as Jack prepares to jump back in the lake to retrieve the ring at the end of the "director's cut" (the correct end take without Lily can be seen in the concluding moments of the U.S. version). Revealing mistakes: One of the unicorns has a brand at the top of its left hindquarters that is clearly visible in some scenes. It is a "C" from the ranch where the horses were gotten in Spain. Revealing mistakes: When Lily first sees the unicorns and they start running, you can the horns wobbling on those closest to the camera. Continuity: In the US version Jack's shield jumps from being in his hands to hanging from a tree as he decapitates the swamp monster before entering the giant tree. (In the Director's cut, the removed scene explaining why the shield was moved is restored). Revealing mistakes: The fishing line holding the tiny light bulb which is meant to be Oona is visible when she circles in front of the bonfire around Jack in her introductory scene Continuity: The imp statue on the table comes to life twice after Lilly passes the table. Crew: Towards the end of the director's cut, where Lily places her ring onto Jack's finger, you can clearly see the camera's lens in the ring's silver reflection. Crew: When Jack is wearing a cloak you can see a safety pin several times when the wind blows it. Miscellaneous: In the U.S. version, the scene when Jack kisses Lily as she's lying on the ground is used twice, once in the beginning, then at the end, when he puts the ring on her finger, leans down, and kisses. Continuity: In the credits, Lily's name is spelled Lili, as well as on the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. In the U.S. version, in the blurb at the beginning, her name is spelled Lily, as well as in the Scene Selection on the DVD. Revealing mistakes: Throughout the movie, the Unicorns have mismatched genders. It can clearly be seen when the animals rear up in the air. One example of this is when Brown Tom is guarding the "mare", and Lily trudges through the snow, frightening the horse. Crew: After Meg Mucklebone bursts out of the water and says Foul tasting fairy!', you can see the rigging and harness supporting actor 'Robert Picardo along his pelvis and back. Continuity: As Lily's sword cuts the unicorn's chain freeing it, Jack shoots his arrow at the Devil and you can see the arrow strike his neck on the left side. However in the next shot you see that Jack has not yet released his arrow. Revealing mistakes: Before Jack and Darkness fight at the end, Darkness has Jack up against a wall, face to face. Shot from a side angle, you can see that the skin around Darkness' chin and lower jaw are not attached to his head indicating that the skin is synthetic rubber. Continuity: In the first half of the movie, Lily's dress gets increasingly torn up with each scene, yet at the end when Jack tries to bring her out of the spell, she wears the same dress completely intact. Continuity: In the first few scenes of the audience meeting Lilli she is wearing earrings but around 6mins and 35 seconds in to the movie there is a close up of her face and she is missing an earring. |

Princess Lily: As eager as you are to drink it! Princess Lily: Are you afraid to kiss me, Jack? Jack: I'm afraid you'll break my heart. Princess Lily: Then still your heart, for you are dear to me as life itself. The Lord of Darkness: The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity. The Lord of Darkness: What is light without dark? [playing with the unicorn's horn] Blix: Higher, higher, burning fire, making music like a choir! Princess Lily: This place holds more magic for me than any palace in the world. Blix: Black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch. Pox: [to Blix] You only got the shot in 'cause the Princess was there! Wrong! 'Twas Beauty led the Beast to bay! Blunder: She was so sweet, I could eat her brains like jam! Pox: I could suck her bones... Blix: Enough! Better hurry. Dark Lord, he don't like to wait. Blix: This shot be just as sweet as pie. Blix: May be innocent, may be sweet... ain't half as nice as rotting meat. Honeythorn Gump: Love you say? Well love is another matter. [the goblins spy on the unicorns] Blunder: [pointing] Look! Ugly one-horned mule! Oona: What care I for human hearts? Soft and spiritless as porridge! A faerie's heart beats fierce and free! Blix: Mortal world turned to ice... Here be goblin paradise! Princess Lily: You are nothing but an animal! The Lord of Darkness: [laughs] We are all animals m'lady. Screwball: I vote we run like hell. Brown Tom: I second the motion. Jack: How do you know my name? [cranes head away in annoyance from Oona, who is buzzing around his head] Jack: Stop it! Go away! Honeythorn Gump: I know everything, Jack. Yet I do not understand what has happened today. Suppose you tell me, Jack? You know these woods as well as any elf. Did you not see something odd today, any strange spirits? Did nothing untoward happen? Jack: I took Lily to see the unicorn... Honeythorn Gump: [In outrage] You did WHAT? [the other elves chatter noisily] Honeythorn Gump: SILENCE! [They hush] [repeated line] Jack: I trust you, Lily. Meg Mucklebones: What a fine fat boy you are, Jack! Jack: You don't really mean to eat me, do you, ma'am? Meg Mucklebones: Oh, indeed I do!

Jack: All the heavenly angels must envy your beauty. Meg Mucklebones: [cackles] What a fine meal you'll make, be the rest of you as sweet as your tongue! [cackles] The Lord of Darkness: Oh, Mother Night! Fold your dark arms about me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone, an impotent exile, whilst this form, this presence, returns to torment me! The Lord of Darkness: Father, protect me! The Lord of Darkness: I require the solace of the shadows and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer. Screwball: There's only one thing I want to know. Brown Tom: What? Screwball: WHY ME? Princess Lily: Neither country proverb nor King's command could keep me from the woods, today. Blix: Magic horn is mine, mine, mine! Now all creatures will love the night, and worship goblins as divine. Blunder: You shouldn't talk like that, Blix. Blix: Why not? I've got the power now. Blunder: [spits] Plenty big puff! The Lord of Darkness: Eat... Drink... Princess Lily: I do nothing for your pleasure! |
