The Energon Pub

I was watching the movie again yesterday, *who am I kidding, it hasn't left my dvd player and plays daily, lol*

But I noticed that the scene where Sams approaching the lake is a pretty nice long crane shot. While noticing this I also spotted a camera-work mistake. They shot with the sun right behind them. So when the car swings around, you can actually watch the shadow of the crane and the crane operator go across the bushes, the grass, then a tree really fast. It's the only shadow that's moving at the same speed as the camera, lol.




You can really see his head, arm and leg

Anyone else notice any mistakes? And I mean actual filming mistakes/bloopers, not all the whiny Bay-hating stuff that floats around. I like the movie so I don't want this turning into a Bay bashing thread. Just curious what else some of the other eagle eye members might have noticed.

Thanks.

Well, it might not actually be a blooper, but Megatron's leg is missing when his corpse is dumped. There's another forum on thatthough. Let's see... Sam said Archie found megs in 1897, but Frenzy found an article dating from 1895... Army Guy's talk with his wife has switching computer styles between shots... AirForce 1 changes model when it lands... After cell phones become useless, people are seen in the city using them. I beleive there is even one in use in the car with the killer steering wheel. Speaking of the steering whell, was it its own robot, or was the car brought to life and that was some weird mouth/appendage? For more goofs, see http://imdb.com/title/tt0418279/goofs

that cellphone becomes useless comment made me think of Blackout.

He's called BlackOut because he creates blackouts by launching EMP attacks right? So how did that one soldier manage to take a picture of him? Wouldn't his camera have stopped working with all the EMP charges blackout was throwing around?

I found another spot too where you can see the crew reflected in Primes chrome bumper. The more I watch the more little goofs I spot. Mikealas hair goes from neat to messy to neat quite alot. And her nail polish dissapears and reappears in the same scenes.

oh yeah, and the back window of the towtruck goes from broken to unbroken.

Perhaps I've seen the movie too many times that now I'm noticing this stuff, lol. My GF is sick of it because I've been playing it twice a day for weeks.

but damn, I'd rather watch giant robots fight over and over then have to watch Sex in the City, or whatever girlie crud she wants to watch, lol.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the scene where Bumblebee breaks down. We see Sam, and Mikaela get out and leave their doors open, with Mikaela opening the hood. But as soon as we see Mikaela walk away, and Bumblebee starts back up, the passenger door is magically closed, and Sam slams the hood.

Good spot. I think that's a continuity error they can explain away by saying Bumblebee closed the doors himself, though.

good eye

We don't know specifically that its emp.

Jazz 'disarms' the Men in Black guys using what's apparently an extremely powerful magnet, and a second later John Turturro is standing there with a ring visible on his finger and it apparently had no effect on the other guy's cell phone.

well if it's a gold or silver ring I don't think a magnet would do anything. I'm pretty sure they attract steel and iron. Not much jewelry made from steel and iron I don't think.

Not really a blooper, but when Nokia-bot 'splodes, his corpse is made up of excess Frenzy fingers. And they look nothing like his live body. And Bay said no size changeing, but what's up with the Cube? And finnaly: Wouldn't X-bot and Dew-bot still be running around the city? I guess that's more of a plot hole than a blooper, but still...

That's not the cameraman in the shadow. It's a ninja waiting for his TF2 debut.

The Cube's not a Transformer.

Actually, it could be counted as the transformer...

With a powerful electromagnet I think 14k gold is probably the only common metal that's unaffected. It's the only form of jewelry you're allowed in MRI scans, and even then they'll often ask you to remove it just in case. Wrist watches (which often do contain steel) and electronics would have been ripped-away and/or destroyed.

I suppose it's probably less of a blooper and more of a "who cares!" thing anyway, like having a civilian cop car with strange markings on the scene of Air Force One's emergency landing or airline stewardesses on Air Force One or the billion other things that don't make any plausible sense.

She wasn't a airline stewardess. She plainly says "I joined the Air Force for this"

The guns could also have been a non metallic substance(like the x3 dartguns) that jazz scans, and adjusts his hands to attract whatever material they are.

Its a stretch, but so are Big Robots.

She says she isn't an airline stewardess, but she's wearing an airline stewardess uniform.

Perhaps is the Dress uniform for the Air Force when assigned to Air Force one.

I didn't read all of the posts, so sorry if this is a repeat...
But in the desert scene around the time Scorpinoc attacks again,
there are a couple scenes where the clouds in the sky are really movin', and moving from right to left.
Then in a short clip, they're moving from left to right.
Then shortly after, they show the sky and the clouds are dead still...

Everyone makes mistakes..espicially Hasbro.

Bumblebee closed the door.
