The Third Day (1965)

Goofs

The Third Day

Edit

Continuity

After crashing his car Steve walks off to the left reaches a restaurant & the manager phones for someone to pick him up and his lift leaves going left but passes the accident scene.
Steve says he can't remember anything yet he knows that he smokes and he knows where he crashed his car.
When Steve first gets home, he lights a cigarette in the library. He keeps the same cigarette going for the next ten minutes of the film, occasionally taking puffs, while the length of it varies only slightly.

Revealing mistakes

Guardiano takes a call in his office on a multi-line phone - one with a row of clear buttons below the rotary dial. None of the buttons light up when the phone buzzes, but he knows what button to press, and it doesn't light up when he picks up the receiver.
Due to the tight turn Steve's car took before crashing through the guardrail, there should be four tire tracks in the mud, not the two (crudely made) ones that are shown. (In a tight turn, the rear wheels don't follow the track of the front.)

Miscellaneous

Audio/visual unsynchronised

Steve, driving the commandeered police car, goes off the paved road and comes to an abrupt stop on the grassy area next to the road, but the audio has the sound of rubber tires screeching on hard pavement, not grass.

Crew or equipment visible

When Steve walks away from the broken guardrail at the beginning of the film, he walks right through the shadow of the camera.
When Lester gets Alexandria out of the car at the crash site, the boom mic follows so clearly and prominently behind them that it looks almost deliberate.

Plot holes

Artie Johnson is a small guy and yet he manhandles the wife and her attempts at resisting are lame. When the two men are fighting on the shore and her husband's been shot Alexandria just watches and doesn't even attempt to help her husband and make sure no attempt to save herself.
After the car going into the river, it takes days for the police to identify the owner, even though the car is clearly visible in the river. Even after they identify the car there is no proof as to who was driving it and it would not be the district attorney who shows up to question and bring in a suspect.
Holly enters the lounge and walks right by her husband Lester and his band in the middle of singing the theme song on her way to sit with Steve. When she does, Lester immediately appears at the table to confront her while the theme song continues on behind them, making it seem that he is both at the piano and at her table at the same time.

Character error

When the Steve Mallory (played by George Peppard) and Lester Aldrich (played by Arte Johnson) are fighting in the surf at the beach, the camera cuts and it is obviously two stunt men doing the fighting in the rough surf. If you look carefully, the men only meet the general look and size of the main actors, and both stunt men are wearing white-soled water shoes instead of the dress shoes of the principle actors.
Steve states that he can't remember anything but he knows that he smokes and knows his way around both on foot and in a car without any help from anyone,
