Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley Jr., Carol Kane, Joseph Bologna, John Byner, and Teresa Ganzel in Transylvania 6-5000 (1985)

Goofs

Transylvania 6-5000

Edit

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

The plane shown taking off in the opening credits is not the same type of plane shown flying in the air, and the plane shown landing is yet a third type. This could be a goof, but in the 1980s it likely would have been a connecting flight.

Revealing mistakes

The phone in the castle is attached to the table, it's not connected.
Near the beginning, an actor opens the castle doors, hitting the camera with the door and visibly shaking it. (He even makes a little face as it happens.)
Around 1 hour 17 minutes, as everyone is running around the laboratory, someone bumps the camera, causing it to visibly shake.

Miscellaneous

Transylvania is not and never has been a country despite Hollywood films referring to it like it's a real country. It is a historical area (think ancient kingdom) that is part of modern Romania.
When Jack, Gil, and Dr. Malavaqua jump into a car for the final car chase, Jack drives. The only character that has been established as a local (and therefore most likely to have a car) is Dr. Malavaqua, yet he goes straight for the backseat.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

Crew or equipment visible

When Radu is battling Frankenstein in the barn you can clearly see a remotely operated camera on a hinge moving in the upper left corner in the background.

Errors in geography

All of the signs in Transylvania are written in English, and not Romanian.

Boom mic visible

About 36 min in, Gil calls Jack into his bedroom, and they check the window. As Jack returns to the door, saying "It's jet-lag; go back to sleep. The facts, Gil, the facts," the boom mic shadow is easily visible in the upper right corner (twice).

Character error

At the end of the movie it's explained that the Wolfman is really Lawrence Malbot, the son of the gypsy woman. The credits show the Lawrence Malbot as played by Rudy DeLuca, which is wrong. Deluca played the husband of the gypsy woman and the character Malbot is played by Donald Gibb. Lawrence Malbot is the Wolfman but DeLuca just plays a womanizing maniac that has nothing to do with being a wolfman.
It's shown that Dr Malavaqua is a mad scientist while in the lap and nice while not, and then a moment later he is nice while in the lap.
