Cannibals in the Streets (1980)

Goofs

Cannibals in the Streets

Edit

Continuity

When Mr. Hopper exits the door, Mrs. Hopper has a brown shawl on. The camera cuts to a close-up of Mrs. Hopper with no shawl on then returns to a shot of Mrs. Hopper with the shawl back on.
While en route to the hospital with the female police officer, the first exterior view of the Intensive Care ambulance shows there is still light out. At the end of the scene, when the officer dies, a second exterior view shows it is now completely dark. Later, when Hopper and the others escape the institution in another ambulance, it is back to dusk and remains the same in all exterior street shots until they arrive at the gas station.
The female police officer is picked up from a downtown police station and is being transported by ambulance (with police escort) to hospital. When they leave the station, it is still light out. She dies in the ambulance and the next shot shows it completely dark outside, indicating considerable time lapse. It would not take that long for a speeding ambulance with police escort to travel from one downtown building to another.
The blood on Charlie Bukowski's lips during the flea market shootout scene.
One scene of police cars speeding through downtown Atlanta shows that they are missing all of their vehicle decals, whereas the correct markings are present in all other scenes.

Revealing mistakes

When Charlie injures gang leader in a fight, leader's face is obviously make-up used for injury.
Woman set aflame in Vietnam clearly has a fire suit on her.
Tongue which nurse supposedly bites from the doctor is clearly a fake tongue.
When first 2 police officers are shot down in the sewers, one with his back to the wall can be seen breathing.
Hole made in Bukowski by shotgun pellets is obviously fake. Hole like that would be hard to make and the insides would look very differently.

Miscellaneous

Before Dr. Morris can help Nurse Helen after she is bitten by Tommy he has to open the security door with the key in the control panel, the door opens before he has tuned the key.

Anachronisms

Many of the weapons, including all the weapons used by the Vietcong, in the beginning of the film are World War II-issue. Including German sub machine guns, rather than the Chinese and Soviet weapons they used in real life.
