We have taken a blow of eye in historical places of the films, but what when the filmmakers get it completely wrong? In the films of travel, adventure or stay, directors are often compelled to capture more photogenic or scenic spots in a particular city - even though it is against logic or the same precision.
If they are totally false, inventing or ours to the location where scenes, some favorite films can make those familiar with a laugh of destination to the misinformation that are represented on the screen.
Some examples of errors gaping films, in terms of geography or specific rental details.
Of course, there are countless other errors there. Share your favorite geography goofs in the comments below.
1 'Bird on a Wire'
This 1990 hunt stars Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson film on the run in the region of Detroit-Wisconsin and includes more of some geographical errors and the specific destination. According to IMDB, "Rick and Marianne take a clearly labelled ferry"FERRY in DETROIT-root"." Detroit is on the side is from Michigan. Racine, Wisconsin is across Lake Michigan, on the West side of Michigan. Such a ferry would have to take a journey of 2-3 days around all of Michigan. ?
Particular attention to the official trailer below, and you will be able to identify errors.
2. "Indiana Jones and the Temple Maudit"
At the opening of the film, Indiana Jones escapes closely died (as of habit) in an altercation with a Shanghai nightclub owner. For the heck of Dodge, he mounted an airplane and it books Shanghai. A map showing the flight path was Indy fly southwest to the town of Chongking. A representation of the landscape below shows the aircraft traveling on the great wall of China. That could make good photography, but it is incorrect geography. In reality, the great wall of China is in the part North of the country, near the Mongolia and hundreds of kilometres of the trajectory of flight Jones.
3. "What a Girl Wants"
Before that Colin Firth won an Oscar for "discourse of the King", he played another, fictional British Royal comedy bopper teeny "what a Girl wants." Firth plays a fictional royal who somehow lived in a succession of huge country in the Centre of London. (Catch a glimpse in the trailer below). The positioning is beyond geographically incorrect, with a few mounts "swinging London". For example, according to IMDB, when bus number 8 London heroin hops Daphine that said "trafalgar Square," even if the real 8 bus stops below it.
4 'Jurassic Park'
At the beginning of the film's villain character, Dennis Nedry, see complete an infamous transaction involving dinosaur embryos in a coffee shop in what is supposed to be San Jose, Costa Rica. However, the city of San Jose is enormous - not a rural village as it is represented in the scene. More important still, San Jose is located within the country - but the filmmakers set the restaurant on the beach with Palm trees.
5. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
In the most recent opus of the series Indiana Jones, Indiana moves in South America to save the world from the Communist mind-control. Regardless of the particular line of conspiracy, the film also features a sweep of the inconsistencies as our friends at the IMDB point out. First of all, Indy says he learned the language Quechua people of Pancho Villa, which is extremely unlikely. Quechua was spoken by the Peruvian Indians (and in some other South American local, as well), but Pancho Villa and company were Mexican. Speaking of the Mexico, Mexican music, dialect and iconography pop up despite the fact that Indiana is the Peru. And the pyramid of Chichen Itza that the Mexico see US?
Worse still, geography of the Peru is also poorly represented as Indy discovers the Crystal Skull in a cemetery in the mountain which overlooks the famous Nazca lines. Because there is no mountains on some distance from the lines, this view would be impossible. The lines do not as close as the trailer below might have us believe.
6 "Leap year".
Romantic comedies tend to be pressed for more details, but "Leap year" is a film on a romantic woman and on the road in Ireland and some gross errors of geographical. Per Irish blog Culch.ie, "heroin, travelling from Boston to Dublin plane is forced to land at Cardiff, country of Wales due to weather conditions terrible." She ends up hiring a boat to go to Cork for a reason; now even if we are to take blocks of storm off the coast of the Port of Dublin there are many ports more near the city of Cork. Not that it is important, because bad weather forces the boat ashore in Dingle... which is North of Cork and still later the Cardiff. In addition, as on the addition of approximately one-third again on his trip. "Oh, and this scene where Anna and Declan plant a marriage campaign is adorable and all - but not day Leap takes place in late February? We are not so sure on short sleeves, flowers and sunny time (average temperature of February in Ireland is in the 1930s and 1940s).
7 "Krakatoa, East of Java'.
This 1969 disaster flick, starring Maximilian Schell and Brian Keith, nominated for an Oscar for best visual effects. Unfortunately, he did not at any price for geographical accuracy. Filmmakers could not even past credits title before things went wrong - a blow to look at a map reveals that Krakatoa (Krakatau, the famous volcano aka) is actually in West Java.
