Casper movie corrections

When the priest comes to Whipstaff in the beginning of the film, his cross is firmly snagged on his button. Next shot, it is perfectly free from being stuck. See more...

The interior of Whipstaff was built at Universal Studios. Early in production there were several moderate earthquakes in the Los Angeles area and many of the large cracks that appear on the walls, etc. were real. See more...

When Dibbs and Carrigan are talking outside of the house early in the movie, before the priest goes into the house, Dibbs is wearing a suit...after the priest goes in and comes back out with his head twisted, Dibbs is wearing a different suit than he was 10 seconds ago. [Completely untrue. His suit is exactly same when the priest comes back out, same maroon jacket with red handkerchief, tie and white shirt. His clothing does change in the shot after that (with the ghostbuster), but so does Carrigan's, indicating that it is a different day.]

Casper and his uncles became ghosts with no clothes on, but when Doctor Harvey and Cariggan die, they appear as ghosts in the clothes they died in. [Casper demonstrates that ghosts can shapeshift (he even gives himself a cape) so these four prefer, for whatever reason, to appear without clothes.]

When Kat is in the Up and At Them she gets toothpaste and shaving cream on her. When she arrives in the lab not only is her face clean but also her dress. There is no way that she would have been able to clean her dress, even if she managed to clean her face. [Kat didn't have shaving cream shot to her when she was going through the conveyour. The toothpast was on her, but later in the conveyour she was being washed and dried. it's possible that a towel was given too, since the shaving cream was eliminated from Kat trip versus Dibbs and Kerrigan's trip.]

When Casper pushes Kat back through the machine, there are a few shots where he isn't there to push her backwards. [Casper can be invisible when he wants to be.]

In the film, Casper says that ghosts don't have reflections, but at the end of the film when the two kids at the party are looking at their costume in the mirror the ghostly trio appear behind them. [The scenario is that the two kids are looking in the mirror and the camera views their reflection. When the ghostly trio comes up, they show up from the mirror, not the kids. But since the kids are looking at the mirror (and that is our point of view as well) it is natural to assume that the trio is with us rather than coming from the mirror. If you watch carefully when the kids run away, the trio come from the mirror to chase them out.]

There is a scene where Kat and Casper are talking in Kat's bedroom. Kat is sitting at her vanity brushing her hair and Casper is sitting on her jewellery box. They are talking about why Kat won't take Casper to the Halloween party. Casper asks what the other guy has that he doesn't. One thing Kat says is that the guy has a reflection. Casper looks in the mirror and he doesn't have a reflection. The thing is, neither does Kat. She is sitting right in front of the mirror and yet you don't see her reflection. [This is because of the camera angle.]

In the scene where Dr Harvey is fighting with Stretch, Stinky, and Fatso, the ghostly trio know his name and where he's from without being introduced or anything. How do they know this information? [Its very possible that Carrigan was in the mansion and was talking about him to Dibbs.]

In the scene where Dr. Harvey vacuum's up Stinky, Fatso and Stretch, they can't get out of the vacuum bag. And yet later on in the film, Carrigan becomes a ghost and easily goes through Casper's steel safe and gets the treasure. [They CAN get out of the vacuum bag; they are out again later and no one set them free. It's just their sense of humour to pretend they can't (like later when they "are melting").]

In the scene where Casper ties people's laces together, how can Casper tie laces and not be able to touch Kat? [When Casper says he can't touch Kat he means that he won't feel her when he touches her.]

When Carrigan becomes a ghost, if Casper and no one else can remember who they were how does she all of a sudden know everything that has happened that is going on. [Casper can't remember who he was and how he died because he has been dead for too long of a time.]
