Goofs
|
Continuity: When on the yacht and Al gets a beer, it has a plain red label. In the next shot it's a Budweiser, then it changes back to the red label. Continuity: SPOILER: At the end, when Carl leaves the restaurant and gets into the elevator, he takes off his bow tie. In the next shot of him, he still has his bow tie on. Continuity: The guard on the train has sweat on the front of his shirt all the way down the front of the chest. In the next shot it is gone. Revealing mistakes: When Dirk swings from the camels neck, a "hobble" or rope limiting the camels movements is seen pulling out of the sand. It is attached to his right rear leg stretching to a point "off camera" beyond the left side of the frame. Fact errors: During the opening credits (after approx 4.5 minutes) a newspaper titled "Nouvélles de Monde" (French) appears. "Nouvelles" (news) is misspelled (there should be no accent). Moreover "Nouvelles de Monde" is not correct, the adequate form is "Nouvelles du Monde" Continuity: When they climb onto the train car, there are rails/handholds on it - in fact there are similar rails on all of the cars along the entire train - but when we see them on top of the car climbing down the hatch, nearly all the rails are gone. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the last scene of the plane surfing action. The actors are leaning as though the wind is coming from the left of the screen, but it you look at the rooster tail it is blowing from the right. Continuity: After Eva buries the light stick in the sand it reappears/disappears in subsequent shots. Continuity: When riding in the back of the truck when heading toward the solar power/toxic dump site, Al is shown holding an FN-LAR rifle and then, in another shot, an AK-47 and back to the FN-LAR. Continuity: When Eva is testing the water on the steps in the rebel village she is wearing a white turban. In the next scene when she is running to tell the others about her find, the turban is gone. Revealing mistakes: When Dirk, Al, and Eva are driving away from the attack helicopter, in the close up shots, the driver's side is correctly on the right. However, in the longer shots, as the car skids right before entering the desert building, the driver and steering wheel are on the left side. It also appears that only the stunt double is driving the car. Continuity: At the beginning of Dirk's and Al's tumble down the sand dune in the pickup bed, their hands are handcuffed together. In the long shot, you can see Dirk's hand un-cuffed. Continuity: When Dirk and Al are in the boat and being shot at by the Military, their window breaks. In the next shot all the windows on the boat are intact. Continuity: The windshield on the yacht breaks in the same place twice. Revealing mistakes: When Dirk and Al are handcuffed to the back of the pickup truck, Dirk uses his Confederate gold coin to unscrew the truck bed. The coin is still shown in his hand after he obviously gives the coin to Al and before Al could possibly have given it back. Continuity: When Dirk is getting pulled over on the river he throws the soldiers a rope which they tie to the near side. When Al floors the yacht the rope is on the other side of the soldiers' boat, thus flipping the boat. Revealing mistakes: Eva catches herself after slipping during the well-descent. In the next shot, she is seen gripping two handles inside the well to steady herself. Fact errors: When the sarcophagus is brought out of the water the admiral says "the king has an appointment at the museum in five hours". When we see the king at the museum it is completely clean. This type of work would take weeks if not months to complete. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Dr. Hopper is shot; after Dirk and Al save Eva from the attackers, she runs over and hugs his body. She rips open his shirt, and when she does, there is no bullet wound under the blood on his shirt. Also, the blood on his shirt shows only one 'bullet wound', though he was shot three times at close range. Continuity: When they are stopped by the soldiers, the buoy is pulled out of the water and left on the back of the boat. When Al hits the throttle to flip over the other boat, the sonar buoy is gone. SYNC: When Sandecker is talking to Carl, and he's about to ask him for a favor, and Carl says, "... it's strictly hands-off" his mouth doesn't match the words, and his mouth continues to move after he's finished speaking. Continuity: When the guard is closing the vault's door, his weapon changes from a G36 to an UMP and then back to a G36 again. Continuity: On the river, after Dirk jumps from the boat back to the yacht, he starts to clamber up the side of the boat. He puts his left foot over the side twice, and the second time, there is a rope around his ankle that wasn't there before. Continuity: SPOILER: After the first explosion in the Texas, before Dirk says, "Bring down Kazim, the army will surrender," they all gather and kneel behind the cannon. Eva kneels and puts her left hand on her right shoulder. The next second, she is kneeling upright. Continuity: SPOILER: When Dirk, Al, and Eva take cover in the CSS Texas, they are being shot at. When Dirk claims the walls are 2 feet thick with a double steel coating, there are no bullet holes, even though you hear the bullets hitting the walls, but when they get shot at again, the bullets go through the walls, and the team has to duck. Later in the scene, they are shot at again and the bullets don't pierce the sides. Fact errors: SPOILER: When taking cover in the inside the discovered CSS Texas: When the helicopter was strafing the CSS Texas with bullets, the bullet pattern is not consistent with the type of guns that the helicopter was armed with, nor the rounds per second, nor the velocity/vector that the helicopter was moving- more precisely, the pattern was too wide and uniform to originate from the mounted side arms of the helicopter. Revealing mistakes: At the end of the village firefight/fistfight, when Dirk rolls in the sand and grabs what appears to be a Barretta M9, he fires four shots and the gun is empty. No handguns were used until this point, and the slide remained motionless, signifying a rubber gun. Fact errors: The entire opening sequence of the bombardment of Richmond at the end of the Civil War is inaccurate. Richmond was never bombed like this. The Union troops were massed on the outskirts of Richmond and poised to invade. The burning of Richmond that is a familiar sight was the result of self-inflicted torching of warehouses intended to prevent the Union Army from taking supplies held in them. The fire quickly spread to engulf much of the Riverfront area. Continuity: In the well, the position of Eva's mask changes multiple times, even in directly adjacent scenes. Continuity: As they are having dinner while going up the river just before the camera cuts to behind Dirk, Eva reaches for the bottle, as we look over his shoulder she's sitting back against the cushion. When the camera switches back to face Dirk they talk, then it switches to over his shoulder and she takes a swig from a glass, that she never had a chance to fill, and which wasn't even on the table. Continuity: Al, Dirk and Eva get on the train one at a time and the guard at the end of the train sees the now-riderless camels one by one. While Eva is getting on the train, the scene switches to view from the rear of the train. All three camels are seen close together. Shortly thereafter, the scene switches again to the view from the train, and the camels are separated by some distance from each other. The camels would not have been that close together unless all three people had boarded the train simultaneously. Fact errors: There are numerous historical errors in the exposition. The following four are the most notable. 1) The model shown of the "CSS Texas" is that of the Virginia (commonly and improperly called the Merrimack). As this was built on the salvaged hull of the only federal steam frigate available to the Confederacy, its design was unique. 2) None of the Confederacy's casement ironclads were capable of transoceanic travel. a) They did not posses the seaworthiness necessary for such a voyage. b) None had the fuel for more than a few days of steaming, which is insufficient to even begin to cross the Atlantic Ocean. c) The engines in all of the vessels were not dependable enough to function for the time required to cross an ocean. 4) The James River, down which the "CSS Texas" was supposedly sailing, was closed by physical barriers installed by Union forces to prevent exactly what is shown. A few months before the "CSS Texas" is supposed to have sailed, a squadron of three ironclads, plus other vessels, attempted to force their way down river, only to be turned back. All were later scuttled to prevent their capture. Revealing mistakes: As the CSS Texas sets sail from the dock at Richmond she is shown flying the first version of the Confederate national flag. At the time claimed she would have been flying either the second or possibly the third national flag. The shots are from a movie involving the CSS Virginia, which would have flow the first national flag. Fact errors: When the Arab scholar reads from a scroll, he says the unknown ship was flying a flag with a single star. While the flag of Texas would have had a single star, it would not have been used by a ship of the Confederate Navy. Rather such a vessel would have flown the Confederate Naval Ensign and Naval Jack, both of which had thirteen stars. CHAR: In the trailer you see a man who is reading an Arabic text. He's reading it from the left to the right instead of from the right to the left (the way an Arabic text is read). CHAR: After Sandecker finds Rudi on his couch, Rudi goes to take a shower. Apparently he takes his clothes off, takes a shower, and comes back to get his clothes, when he finds the algae sample. Revealing mistakes: Going down the Niger, Al is telling his Marlin story. He casts his line to fish with no bait on the hook, but seems to catch fish for dinner. CHAR: When Dirk, Al and Eva dismount to meet the Touareg, Al drops two obviously empty FN magazines to the ground. Why is he carrying empty mags? CHAR: Pitt states the Confederate gold coin was minted in 1865. Jefferson Davis could not have given one to Stonewall Jackson, who had died on May 10, 1863. DATE: The Lagos Times is shown during the opening credits. The Lagos Times was created on November 10, 1880, by Richard Beale Blaize, and was made defunct in November 1883. Thereby making it impossible to be featured in the film. Fact errors: Just after entering the Texas, Dirk Pitt claims the walls are two feet thick (correct for a typical Confederate ironclad) of steel (incorrect, the sides would have been oak with an overlay of a few inches of iron plate). When the bullets penetrate the sides, it is obvious that they are not two feet thick. |

Rudi Gunn: [Dirk wants Al to pull a "Panama"] What's a Panama? Al Giordino: It's a Navy thing. Rudi Gunn: I didn't know you were in Panama. Al Giordino: We weren't in Panama, we were in Nicaragua. Rudi Gunn: So why do you call it a Panama? Al Giordino: Because we thought we were in Panama! Al Giordino: [after going outside and being shot at] Next time, *you* go! Dirk Pitt: What the hell took you so long? Al Giordino: What? I stopped for coffee. Dirk Pitt: Get a receipt? Al Giordino: Yeah, I got a receipt, and I got you one, too! Dirk Pitt: You're the best, Al! Al Giordino: You know what? I'll even get you the money from Sandecker! [two of Zatib's gunboats have just intercepted the NUMA team] Dirk Pitt: I'm sorry, I don't speak English. Gunboat Officer: You are speaking English right now. Dirk Pitt: No, I only know how to say, "I don't speak English" in English. Dirk Pitt: Hey, Al. Do remember that time when we were in Morocco? Al Giordino: Ya, when you made me ride that damn camel, that bit my ass. Dirk Pitt: Yeah, that's the time. Al Giordino: [pauses, confused] Why? Rudi Gunn: [answers the phone] Uh... Hello, Admiral, you still there? I shot a guy with a flare gun. Admiral James Sandecker: [on the phone] What? You shot a guy with a flare gun? Who? [no answer] Admiral James Sandecker: [sees Rudi on a couch] Rudi? Rudi Gunn: [sits up] Admiral, I have news about your boat. Boom. [makes a hand gesture that implies blowing up] Al Giordino: Man, the Admiral's gonna be mad when he hears you lost his satellite phone. Dirk Pitt: Not as mad as when Rudi tells him it was attached to the boat. Al Giordino: Hi! How are ya? Admiral James Sandecker: [after his boat has been shot up] [over the phone] Don't you hurt my boat. Rudi Gunn: [after they pulled a Panama] Is that how it worked the first time? Dirk Pitt: Well, it didn't really work the first time. Admiral James Sandecker: [after being ignored on the phone] They're ignoring me. I can't believe they are ignoring me. [turns around to see that no one is listening to him on his ship] Everyone's ignoring me. Admiral James Sandecker: You've got 72 hours, and not a nanosecond more. Dirk Pitt: [after they come across a wrecked plane in the middle of the Sahara] I'll bet you a hundred there's a tool kit in there. Al Giordino: [looking at the tattered remnants of the plane] I don't wanna rain on your crazy parade, buddy, but I don't think we can fix this thing. Al Giordino: I am so tired of being shot at! Rudi Gunn: But I was hoping to meet a girl on the Australian trip! Al Giordino: No, African war zone; ship of death! Dirk Pitt, Al Giordino: [at the same time] There's no way that should've worked! Dirk Pitt: What do you do if you're about to be exposed as the biggest polluter in modern history? Al Giordino: I don't know, run for president? Yves Massarde: Your death would look pretty bad in the papers. Eva Rojas: So does the word "plague". [on the phone, after they pulled a Panama] Admiral James Sandecker: He pulled a Panama! Dirk Pitt: [after they have pushed the bed of a pick-up truck out, that they are handcuffed too and each other] Well, that's a new one. Al Giordino: [looking at the chains that are still attached] Yeah. We're home free now. Al Giordino: [points at Dirks coin clue] Hey, you know my dad collected ancient coins, from Rome, China, Siam, Persia... somehow they all ended up in a shoe box in New Jersey. Dirk Pitt: Meaning? Al Giordino: Coins travel, Dirk. I mean, even if that poor guy was still alive, it could have been nothing. Dirk Pitt: Yeah, but the coin traveled from somewhere Al. Unless it hitched a ride on the back of a dolphin, I'm gonna guess it's jumping off point was a little closer to where we're sitting. General Zateb Kazim: Don't worry. It's Africa. Nobody cares about Africa. Al Giordino: Hey, you know how it is when you see someone that you haven't seen since high school, and they got some dead-end job, and they're married to some woman that hates them, they got, like, three kids who think he's a joke? Wasn't there some point where he stood back and said, "Bob, don't take that job! Bob, don't marry that harpy!" You know? Dirk Pitt: Your point? Al Giordino: Well, we're in the desert, looking for the source of a river pollutant, using as our map a cave drawing of a Civil War gunship, which is also in the desert. So I was just wondering when we're gonna have to sit down and re-evaluate our decision-making paradigm? Dirk Pitt: [coming up on the fortress seen in the cave painting] I don't know - it seems to be working so far. Dirk Pitt: Al, did you bring the explosives from Massardes? Al Giordino: Couldn't find them... Dirk Pitt: Al... Al Giordino: I didn't have time... Dirk Pitt: Al! Al Giordino: [yells] Of course I brought the explosives! Dirk Pitt: He is going to blow it up. Al Giordino: That isn't very subtle. [Al, Dirk and Rudi are being chased in the Admiral's boat] Al Giordino: What do you think, Dirk? Dirk Pitt: Uh... I think we need to pull a Panama! Al Giordino: A Panama... a *Panama*? Admiral James Sandecker: [on the phone] A Panama? No! No Panama! Dirk Pitt: We need to find that bomb. Al Giordino: No. I'll find the bomb. You get the girl. Dirk Pitt: ...Deal! Al Giordino: [in Kazim's stolen car, being chased by a chopper] It's Kazim! Hey, maybe he wants his car back? Admiral James Sandecker: [tracking Dirk and Al] Where would they go? Where are they headed? Carl: Well, based on their behavior so far... I have no idea. Dirk Pitt: [on a phone] Admiral? Admiral James Sandecker: Dirk! Oh, thank God! Where the *hell* are you? Dirk Pitt: Well, that's a damn good question, sir... Dirk Pitt: We could use some serious muscle out here. Admiral James Sandecker: Well, you're not gonna get it. I'm getting the D.C. two-step, big time! Admiral James Sandecker: I can't ask you boys to do this alone. Dirk Pitt: That's the great part about it, sir. You know you never have to. Dirk Pitt: [to Eva] You, me, and the bay at Monterey [last lines] Dirk Pitt: There's something I wanted to say to you that I never got a chance to. Eva Rojas: What's that? Dirk Pitt: You DO throw like a girl! Hey! You do! Dirk Pitt: [to Eva as Al, Dirk and Eva are being pursued in Kazim's car] I hope you don't throw like a girl! Eva Rojas: You're late. I was told an 8:00 departure. Dirk Pitt: What? Al Giordino: I never said 8. Dirk Pitt: I said 9. Eva Rojas: Well, it's after 10. Dirk Pitt: Well who said 8? Al Giordino: Hey, you ever been after marlins, doctor? Dirk Pitt: Oh, no, not the marlin story again, Al. Al Giordino: Seven hundred and thirty-three pounds. Five and a half hours in the fighting chair. Dirk Pitt: I thought it was 600 pounds. Al Giordino: Hey! What did you catch that day? I can't remember anything at all. Dirk Pitt: I'll meet you at the boat. [Slaps Al in the arm then leaves the bar] Al Giordino: [acts like Dirk is still there] Ow. No, I got the check. Don't worry about it. I'm serious. I know, I get it all the time. Sit down, I'll get the check. L'addition. Yves Massarde: I understand you believe there is some sort of plague coming out of Mali. Dr. Frank Hopper: We don't like to say "plague". Yves Massarde: What do you think it is, then? Eva Rojas: A plague. Al Giordino: Hey Dirk! Where are we headed? Dirk Pitt: Hell if I know... but we're making great time! [first lines] Sailor Who Drops Gold: Sorry, captain. Pilot, Ironclad: It's all right son, just keep moving. That's the future in your hands. [first title card] Title card: Richmond, Virginia 1865 / The end of the Civil War Title card: The last ironclad ship to run the Union blockade Dr. Frank Hopper: How long have you two be together, anyway? Al Giordino: Kindergarden, college, Navy, NUMA. Poor guy's always been in my shadow. Dr. Frank Hopper: That is long time. Al Giordino: Yep. Always the Al's maid, never the Al. Al Giordino: Ah, how do you put this thing on, anyway? Dirk Pitt: What? Just wrap it around your noggin. Al Giordino: Which part, this? [Holds up end of turban fabric] . Dirk Pitt: Yeah. Al Giordino: [Pulls the fabric from his head] well, how come yours stays on? Dirk Pitt: Maybe you have a small head. Al Giordino: I don't think so. Someone would have told me. Al Giordino: Hey, I cant remember how this works... something about a fox and a rabbit... its really bugging me Dirk Pitt: The fox chases the rabbit around the tree and down the hole. Thats how the tie works buddy. Yves Massarde: [to Dirk as he's trying to stop Massarde while holding a gun to Ava's head before the helicopter is about to take off] I apologize, Mr. Pitt. This is not what it appears. Dirk Pitt: [dropping weapon and holding his hands up] Did I miss something? I've seen your toxic dump. I've seen sick Tuareg women and children and I saw the dead in Asselar. Did I leave something out? Al Giordino: [after an explosion that ripped down an interior wall to reveal confederate gold] Jefferson Davis had how many samples made? Al Giordino: [after the boat blows up] I lost my hat! Eva Rojas: [as Kazim's troops lay down their weapons in surrender] Looks like you killed the snake. Dirk Pitt: [while digging to find a way into the CSS Texas] How's it looking, Al? Al Giordino: You're good! Al Giordino: [Helicopter appears from behind sand dunes] DIG FASTER! |
