Goofs

Fear Is the Key

Edit

Continuity

Lights on the car which were broken when the car arrives on the beach during the chase are fixed when the car leaves the beach.
Headlights on the car which were broken when the car arrives on the beach during the chase are fixed when the car leaves the beach.
Barry Newman is taken from shore to a short distance from an oil rig. Donning scuba gear he swims to the rig, climbs aboard , hides the oxygen tank, mask and flippers and starts to explore. He hears 2 workmen talking as they approach the walkway and climbs over the side to hide but his hood is now up on his head then back down when he enters a cabin area.
At 1':10" as the helicopter comes in to land on the higher landing pad there is another chopper on the lower pad. We cut away to a tight shot, and cut back to the landing - but the helicopter in the background has disappeared.
After going through the road block, Talbot is chased by two police cars. One of them draws level and gestures him to slow down which he acknowledges and the police car continues to pass him. Talbot then makes a right hand turn down a dirt track. The next shot shows the police car far enough behind Talbot to follow him down the lane.

Miscellaneous

The wreck of the aircraft, when found, is referred to as a "Dakota". This is a purely British term for a Dougas DC-3, ad would not, therefore, have been referred to by the Americans involved as such.
The skulls of the people in the plane would not be able to be seen. As there are no muscles, tendons etc holding the skeleton together, the bones would be piled on the seat and floor of the cockpit.

Crew or equipment visible

After Talbot has kidnapped Sarah Ruthven from the courthouse, he steals a car and is driving through town to make his getaway. He skids on open ground to avoid a green car and the camera lens gets cracked in the top right of screen by the thrown up dirt.
