Revealing mistake: When Kent rolls out of the front door with the popcorn, it is obviously a stunt double due to the man's hair being brown/black and Kent having blonde hair. (01:38:25)
Real Genius (1985)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Martha Coolidge
Starring: Gabriel Jarret, Michelle Meyrink, Val Kilmer, William Atherton
Continuity mistake: When Jordan brings in the automatic page turner she demonstrates it to Mitch. When it reaches over to turn the page the screen jumps and then the scene continues. This was two takes of the same shot spliced together poorly at the point that the page turner touches to the page on the right. (00:27:50)
Professor Hathaway: Mitch, there's something you need to know. Compared to you, most people have the IQ of a carrot.
