Uwe Boll in Alone in the Dark (2005)

Goofs

Alone in the Dark

Edit

Continuity

(at around 56 mins) When Carnby yells to Burke and then fires a shot to shoot a "zombie" coming behind Burke, all bullets are made visible with light. You clearly see the shot completely missing the target and flying off way past her head and yet she acts like she was hit.
(at around 51 mins) The bandage on Cedrac's arm, and the wound it covers, disappears, then reappears in her apartment.
(at around 8 mins) After Carnby's cab is slammed into the wall and the villain backs up to ram the cab again, the camera shot shows the villain "throwing" the car into reverse. The car should already be in reverse, and should be shifted into drive to ram the other taxi.
(at around 7 mins) During the taxi chase at the beginning, the cab chasing Edward Carnby has no rear license plate in one shot, but gains one in the next shot.
(at around 7 mins) A taxi rams Carnby's taxi, denting the hood and bumper. Seconds later, when they turn a corner, the taxi is undamaged.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 1h 35 mins) The end credits list a "TTransportation Captain".
(at around 9 mins) When Pinkerton slams Carnby's head against the ground during their battle in Chinatown, several inches are visible between the actor's head and the floor at the moment of impact.

Miscellaneous

(at around 1h 30 mins) David Soo and Gerald Paetz are listed twice in the on-screen credits under the same 'stunt' occupation.

Anachronisms

(at around 3 mins) Some police cars arrive at the orphanage "22 years ago" which is probably 1984 or 1985. They have three brake lights, a much more recent feature.

Crew or equipment visible

(at around 5 mins) At the beginning, a camera is reflected in the door of Carnby's taxi.
When the camera pans the dead soldiers in the darkness, a camera man, trying to be as still as he can, is standing in the darkness behind the light on the stand.
(at around 16 mins) Early on, in Carby's apartment, a member of the crew is visible behind the boxes. The next shot they are missing again.

Errors in geography

Set in California, but a Bank of Montreal building and a Canada Post box appear repeatedly. A Scotia Bank is visible in the last scene.

Plot holes

Boom mic visible

(at around 47 mins) When Aline Cedrac inspects the contents of a box in her apartment, the shadow of a microphone can be seen on a pillar.

Character error

(at around 55 mins) One of the soldiers checks the pulse of a person lying on the ground, to see if the man is dead, with gloves on.
(at around 27 mins) When the agent is showing Edward pictures of people that have disappeared he says that there are only 3 pictures, but, he is actually showing him 4 people.
Tara Reid pronounces "Newfoundland" the way it is spelled ("NewFOUNDland"). The correct pronunciation is "NewFUNDland." Not a minor error if the viewer is Canadian.
