The girl puts a cup under here bench to give to the little boy in the back car. But when she puts it under her seat, they give her another cup, then she puts a second cup under her seat also, then in the next scene she has another cup in front of her. But when the people serving the hot chocolate leave she only has one under the bench. So I think the film makers made a mistake and put the same part in twice, maybe not though-  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-16-2004 08:48 PM                     This does not belong in FHF. Moving. Josh - please edit the title to something along the lines of "continuity errors". Otherwise your choice of title makes it appear that this is a print defect.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 11-17-2004 03:27 PM                     Also, just go to www.moviemistakes.com and post your error there, they will tell you if it is a real error or not.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-19-2004 07:45 PM                        The girl is given a cup. She takes it and sets it next to her, ON the seat. She's given a second cup. She puts the second cup UNDER the seat. She presumedly drinks the cup next to her on the seat. Song ends. She takes the only cup under the seat and walks toward the back of the car. Hey, I see this thing three times a day. Looking for continuity problems is the only thing that keeps me sane ... well, maybe. One of my favorites (!?!) is when the ticket flies from the five-passenger-car train. It lands in the snow and wolves run by. The train passes in this same shot and the train has grown to somewhere around fifteen cars! Magic!  |  IP: Logged
