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?

Since when are "mess ups" important?

Thanks, I'll look for this next time I watch the movie, Symphonic.

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..."

hay i just had a thought, maybe they shot that scene after the fat guy fell in the fountain and there may have been some fake blood floating around and gave the illusion of the red light!
