    bet you never noticed this goof in Dawn 78!!

    check out the scene when the bikers first enter the mall, they encircle a fountain - inside the fountain there are various coloured lights, one of them is red....the shot changes to Peter lining himself up against a doorframe of some sorts and then the shot changes back to the fountain - the red light is gone....!!! Who's been fvcking with the electricity in the Monroeville mall?!?!

    Perhaps the colored lights were removed after Christmas?


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    That particular bulb in the red light was faulty, or nearing the end of it's lifespan.

    It would often cut out, usually for ten seconds or more, and then re-light all by itself.

    Either that, or a build up of excessive moisture around the fitting was responsible for the inevitable flickering before the bulb itself burnt out.

    with all the commotion that was going on at that time, i'm not going to claim error cause a lightbulb was once there then wasn't

    its not the same as, like, when flyboy comes out of the hallway & one zombie's wearing a red shirt, turn to peter, then turn back & the zombie's wearing a blue shirt

    This type of error, a light is on and then it isnt, is called a "continuity" error. Most any film, even big Hollywood filsm with big budgets, have these types of errors in it. Although to address the original post, I have never noticed that before. I will look for it next time.

    It'd be pretty wicked if you sat down on the john and began to strain for twenty seconds. Then out comes "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth..."
