Errors


Mirrors and Editing

End Of Eternity End Of Eternity The first shot of the cave tunnel towards the inner door is upside down.
The Troubled Spirit The Troubled Spirit Ghost first materialises as a mirror image (see the sleeve). This is because an angled mirror is used to create the effect (the trick is called "Pepper's ghost")
Space Warp Space Warp During the first space warp sequence, the spinning Command Center is flopped left for right. Again, the effect is made with a spinning mirror (which is easier than a spinning camera).
Space Warp Space Warp During the second space warp sequence, the spinning Eagle cabin is sometimes flopped left for right (and there are several continuity errors too). Again, this is the spinning mirror trick.
The Bringers Of Wonder part 2 The Bringers Of Wonder part 2 Two shots of the moonbuggy are reversed left for right (notice the "5" label)
The Immunity Syndrome The Immunity Syndrome Two brief shots of Koenig during the crash are reversed left for right.
