Trivia

Goofs

(More boom spottings coming with next update!)

  • Boom visible above the head of the man playing pool and talking about the "wet" moon in the bar.
  • After the bar fight the bartender has a bat and says, "Alright now, you get the hell outta here."  During that line the boom can be seen above his head.  It goes to a shot of Nicky and then back to the bartender and the boom is still in the shot, right above his head.
  • Boom visible for a second, center, when the gang enters the house and finds the bat nailed to the door.  It shows a close-up of the bat and goes back to wide view.  Now the boom is bouncing up and down going from center to left screen...drinking + boom operating...probably not a good thing.
  • As Robert is just about to cut the fish hook out of his foot the boom is just visible, center.
  • Boom visible when Mac punches the guy shoveling scrap wood in the stomach.

Personal History

  • Bought from a Blockbuster in Traverse City, Michigan.  It was a buy two get one free sale.
