Nitpickers

Fun for the whole family!

We've finished Season 1 Disc 3 of Hawaii Five-O, and have enjoyed finding the goofs.

1. Steve McGarrett drives to question a suspect. He starts out in a 4-door car, next shot will switch to 2-door, then back to 4-door before he arrives at his destination. We've noticed this on several episodes.

2. Tires squeal on every turn, whether paved road or dirt road. Every turn.

3. Dano tells a woman that her husband shot McGarrett. Next scene she is asking her husband why he shot McGarrett and that other man. While yes, her husband did shoot the "other man" also, Dano didn't mention that to her.

4. During one chase scene, the camera crew are standing on an embankment--between the sun and the road. So you can see all their shadows on the road as the car drives by.

If we'd slowed the movie down, stopped and reversed, and really nitpicked it, I'm sure we'd have found more. This was just what we noticed while enjoying this old show. A fun family evening.

I'm sure you'll find this hard to believe, but we have fun finding the bloopers in old shows too.

ha. We were watching Daniel Boone tonight. Both Dan'l and an Indian were really tense because this garter snake was crawling around. The Indian finally panicked and ran away.

I didn't see what was so scary about a garter snake until Mark pointed out that a rattle was tied to it's tail. oh. I completely missed that it was supposed to be a rattlesnake.
